30 Jul 2015 18:16:12
Expecting announcement soon, single, double or triple is the next question lol

Looks to be the real deal

30 Jul 2015 13:38:12
French journalist is tweeting that both Adebayor and Veretout are currently at Bodymoor Heath and set to sign by close of play today.
As with all VIlla transfers it's not done until it's done, but looks to be very close now.
Gestede in tomrorow and then one more central defender and we're looking good. an established winger in the mould of Townsend, Young etc would be the icing on the cake!

Totally agree hopefully cissoko nzogbia Bennett tonev all go too

6 million for gestede is a bargain. One third the price of Austin and he is more physical. Only thing Austin has is a years prem experience.

Personally speaking, from what i've seen of Gestede i think he'll make a great target man but won't offer much other than that until/unless he develops his link up play and ability to work the channels. He's only 24 so its not out of the question that he could get a lot better in those areas, but he's never going to offer much pace or the abity to run at defenders. That's fine though as long as we have the players around him to feed off his strengths and supply ammunition. which are that he is an absolute beast in the air. he's right up there with Andy Carroll and Benteke for ability in the air!
Lets just hope we complete the deal now!

30 Jul 2015 16:16:17
Sorry - turns out he's 26. so a little less chance of him developing his game. but not impossible!

30 Jul 2015 16:55:47
Sorry DBS, I think overall as a player Gestede will contribute more to the side than Benteke did, Gestede is very much a team player, target man, runner, Hold up player, and striker and does not sulk.
Its only my opinion though, and we can all be wrong, but from what I have seen he will be just Dandy, I know I am going to get slatted but that is what this site is all about we all differ in some way.
Speak to other teams supports an see what they say about him.

Totally agree, bar cissoko leaving! Without him Bennett is back up left back as crespo played prodominantely CB/RB last season. Don't understand where the hate for cissoko has come from, was brilliant when he got his chance last season.

30 Jul 2015 18:45:53
Cissoko was far from brilliant. he was ok defending wise. his attacking play terrible.

30 Jul 2015 20:49:12
I agree on Cissoko - he is solid cover for Amavi and offers a very defensive counter style if Sherwood ever needs it.

30 Jul 2015 10:13:02
Gestede fee agreed the 20 goal Blackburn striker on his way to villa

30 Jul 2015 11:18:56
The odds suddenly shortened the other day; Norwich and Watford both considered more likely until then. Can't see us signing Berbatov as well now, surely?

30 Jul 2015 11:22:54
Great signing. I'm feeling so much more optimistic.

30 Jul 2015 11:49:43
Apparently jordan veretoute will be in the country tomorrow aswell could be a triple announcement on signings

30 Jul 2015 06:57:10
I heard Villa are looking into Jonathan Soriano.
