Villa and Everton weighing up a move for Aiden Mcgeady but is he worth the 9.5m price tag being qouted

The only thing that would make sense from this is the experience he would bring but I would be shocked if villa bought him for a sum anywhere near that, its a no hoper and his club will not sell on the cheap. Plus. he will have no sell on value so no chance will this be happening.

He sai he wanted to leave and would take a pay cut, so maybe they would accept 5 mill, and he is a brilliant player it is just marred by I'll discipline, if lambert ca get him to calm Dow it could prove to be a very good signing

Bad bad bad move goes against everything we've done this season and would be demoralising to some of the players me would think

Definitely DO NOT want mcgeady. we pay out for him that's most our budget. we won't buy anyone over 25 yrs old or anyone over 6-7 million because its jus the way villa work buy them young and cheap and develop the balls out of them. look at westwood lowton etc. no mcgeady not the 'villa way'

Didn't PL sign Vlaar, El Ahmadi an re signed Guzan? Who are over 25 if I'm not wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if we signed players between 25 an 28 but I don't think McGeady is the right type of player we need. We need to sign a CB an a LB maybe another DM before we sign wingers or striker

Luke Murphy in talks with Villa according to close sources - likely to be first signing!

Murphy will sign within 2-3 weeks for 3-4m, once Villas players have signed new contracts.

And followed by Charlie Austin for 4m

It won't be as high as £4m as he's entering his final year of contract and will be available for £1-£2m at the very most.

Austin will cost more than 4mill

Why would we need Austin? Bench player same role as benteke but all round weaker

Austin will be a bench warmer at most. Prefer a different type to him as Bowery will develop this year.

I've heard a lot of fans talk of bent not being able to fit in to PLs style of football, if that's the case why is Austin being targeted as a potential signing? Good striker but He's just as one dimensional as bent

But a lot cheaper wouldn't demand hhigh wages and will sign for 2-4m

Why would burnley sell Austin for
1m-2m? They might aswell keep him for his last year of his contract an hope he fires them in to the prem.
He'll cost 4m minimum cus anythin less wouldn't be worth them selling

Murphy will be cheap £1-2m, Austin is not a type of player Lambert will sign when we already have many strikers capable of doing what he does and probably better. some people have no clue about football.

Murphy will cost approx £2 - 2.5 million if villa sign him soon. Otherwise they may get involved in a bidding war as man united have made a opening bid of £800, 00. which has been turned down (think they were taking the -iss with this offer).
