I've seen we've been linked with Tom Carroll again I'm a big fan of his but think it could just be lazy journalism with the tim sherwood Spurs link

Anyone else a fan?

I think Sherwood has done his homework with Crespo. He has a Europa cup winners medal in his locker which is more than most of our squad. He's such an odd player to go for u less he's scouted him. Had a look at him on you tube and he looks decent. I know a 2 min selection of clips doesn't make him good but he can play anywhere along the back line which will be useful, especially with the likelihood of players like cissokho, Bennett going having already lost Vlaar, lowton and Luna. He could now also lose either senderos or baker too. It just goes to show just how many players we had in the wage list that we could lose. We've been paying millions a year for players nowhere on the first team radar. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go for Van Dijk from Celtic. We've gone in from 50/1 to 6/1 to sign him. That's some money.
Sherwood also said that Ayew is perfectly suited for the premier league. Yet again more homework. I think there's more to come too. It's about time is Villa fans had some transfers to get excited about. £8/£9m players rather than £2m hopefuls. VTID

Things really hotting up now and agree villafanmike looking more promising with purchasing players between £8m -£12m!really looking forward to the start and really optimistic that villa will catch a few out with such a team change. Have been worse than predictable for last few seasons and with so many new faces could be a great early part of the season. As long as they settle in of course. Someone already mentioned feels a bit like when BFR came in with sweeping changes, Staunton, Mortimer, Atkinson, Richardson and Saunders. Of course we knew most of them already!!! Lol

I have to agree with you Mike, these players have been watched.
We have to give Timmy and the new players a chance, we are in a better place at the moment and I feel it will only get better, the guys he is buying are all capable of playing more than one position.
That has to be good surely

27 Jul 2015 21:12:32
I have to agree with you all, for the first time in a long while we are buying players and plenty of them, the quality of these players we will have to wait on to see if they suit premiership football but on paper all looks good, I feel sure that Tim would of done his homework and that many of these players have been in his mind for some time. However it may take such a lot of new faces time to gel as a team so let's not all get negative if the first few games don't go as well as planned. Having said that I for one am looking forward to the start of the season and feel like positive progress is at last being made and who knows there may be more signings to come before the close of the window. So let's get behind Tim and the squad and give them the support and time needed to turn around the fortunes of this great club for I think we may all be witnessing a new beginning.

Well said wise one.

Been reading Adebuyor is set to join us on loan, to be announced in the next 48 hours.

27 Jul 2015 18:15:52
Loan deal is good didn't really want TS to buy out right,and if we get the best out of him as Sherwood did things looking even better,sceptical about addy with his track record but can't hurt us really having him I suppose :)

27 Jul 2015 21:19:37
I agree AVFC.jayz, I must say I'm not a great fan and feel he is past his best, however having him on loan at least means that we are not stuck with him should it turn pear shaped he may even prove all us dis-believer's wrong and become a great hit. So I guess it could be a good move only time will tell.

27 Jul 2015 15:07:07
Ayew officially signed! Hopefully more to follow, Crespo looks a definite. Still need a striker and a central midfielder after that in my opinion, Adebayor looks likely but as everyone else would much prefer Austin!

Aston Villa have reportedly agreed a deal to signJose Angel Crespo.



Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign defender Jose Angel Crespo

27 Jul 2015 14:26:53
Who's he?????

27 Jul 2015 19:09:36
Can assure fans he's much more useful than Luna ever was. Good bit of business as a versatile squad player me thinks.

27 Jul 2015 09:09:24
Aston Villa reach an agreement with Córdoba for versatile full back José Ángel Crespo. He will travel to England for a medical.

27 Jul 2015 09:30:15
Don't know much about him. Hope he's not another tony moon.

27 Jul 2015 07:11:57
I've seen a link to alen Halilovic for about £4.5 million off barca. He is a young attack minded midfielder who as also been linked to Westham. Be another good young addition if this one comes off. Thoughts guys.

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath about a move to AV.}

27 Jul 2015 07:40:46
You recon he will go to westham then ed or a no go to either.

{Ed002's Note - There is interest in Halivic from West Ham, Sevilla and Everton. Sevilla are ideally looking for a loan to buy whilst Barcelona are likely now looking to sell.}

27 Jul 2015 09:14:04
with halilovic on the right and grealish on the left and praet in the hole then that would be a villa attacking line i'd like to see.
pity only 1 out of 3 is a reality. if Jack stays in it of course :)
