Hammers are stating that a prem. club have triggered the buy out for Diamme, but are refusing to say any more Yesterday Big Sam "hinted" at a club that are in need of a midfield player. Is it Villa? Must wait and see, be a great pairing with Sylla already in the bag.

Believable4 Unbelievable5

What was wrong with our management missing an opportunityto sign a real midfield player? Again we fail to build a substantial bid to bring players in, poor show Villa, you want our support but you don't repay our loyalty.

Aston Villa to sign Simon Dawkins (San Jose Earthquakes)

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Confirmed on loan till end of season, one more signing may happen still possible attack minded player depending on the bent merry go round.

come on you lions!

Agree2 Disagree2

As long as Bannan is replaced by Sylla in midfield & we stick to a formation every week without 5 or 6 team changes - we'll stay up!

In 3 teams worse than us we trust!

Agree6 Disagree1

Sylla and Dawkins can replace Bannan and Delph and the midfield more of a barrier before the defense instead of our midfield being non existant scared to tackle

We still need a replacement for Bennett Lichaj and another CB

Agree2 Disagree1

Dawkins is more of a winger tbh.
He's got a few tricks in his legs.
I'm just thinking maybe us recalling Fonz would have been better if we needed a quick player who has played well this year (on loan at Blackpool).
Though why would he go from Pleasure Beach to the doom & gloom of Brum

Agree2 Disagree0

The Fonz will never kick another ball for the Villa again, his attitude like the rest of our Young players is awful {Ed003's Note - he's not been playing well this season btw}

Agree3 Disagree1

Everytime I catch the fonz playing he's doing well. They play him left wing so if you are basing it on goals per game ed don't. {Ed003's Note - True he starts there but the system they play, the front 3 interchange,I'm a B'pool fan btw so I have based my opinion on watching him mate.}

Agree1 Disagree1

He has scored a few goals though which is more than can be said for a few of our players!

Agree1 Disagree0

Sylla an dawkins to replace bannan an delph? What are you talking about? Sylla has no experience an very much unproven an I'd be surprised if he starts more than 2-3 games this season, he hasn't been signed to start games, he's simply not good enough right now, maybe in 2-3 seasons he'll turn in too a quality player, but you thinking he's gunna step up too this level strait away is laughable!

An dawkins will not be replacing delph, their the complete opposite of each other. >scg87

The club is looking to do a loan deal with a promising player who has recently done well in MLS. #AVFC

-Latest from AVFC. Who could it be? would love keane back.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Simon dawkins

Agree2 Disagree4

Simon Dawkins, Spurs midfielder who has spent time at San Jose. Had a loan spell at Leyton Orient where he earned the nickname "glass ankles". Good luck.

Agree4 Disagree1

It says promising suggesting young again keane has already ruled a return out earlier in the window but would be our saviour if he did.

Agree2 Disagree1

Couldn't even get a game for Blackpool when on loan their last season.

Agree1 Disagree1

You might call him glass ankles but he's theory on evolution and the universe has given him a big following

Noah dicko from Wigan could join villa for 2 mil. Decent winger better than albrighton in my opinion {Ed003's Note - More of a striker(even though he isn't the tallest) I think Wigan would snap your hands off if you offered £2m}

Aston Villa are in talks with Stoke City to sign Wilson Palacios. Finally an experienced midfielder coming to VP

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Is this in the swap deal for Bent.
Would prefer Adam even though He's injured

Agree1 Disagree1

Warnock has moved onto leeds also. with him and hutton gone, surely frees up a load in wages? must be at least one more signing - palacios. . or others too?

French midfielder Yacouba Sylla has secured his move to Aston Villa from Ligue 2 outfit Clermont Foot on a three-and-a-half year deal.

Villa boss Paul Lambert has made the defensive-minded France Under-21 international his first signing of the transfer window as he bids to drag the club out of the relegation zone in the second half of the season.
And, having completed his medical on Thursday morning, Sylla penned his deal in time to be considered for Saturday's Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park.

Richard Dunne
Andy Marshall
Eric Lichaj

Believable3 Unbelievable10

What are you on about? that's our whole team! People do talk rubbish

Agree7 Disagree4

If relegated Ireland, N'zogbia, Given and Bent will be gone for me we should cash in on Bent now and get Charlie Adam in on the deal

as there the high earners

Agree4 Disagree2

You might add IF Villa are relegated. Not sure why Lambert would sell a young player such as Clark especially if he feels he is worthy of captaincy.

I would imagine he is not on a high wage and deemed a valuable part of young team. . . despite his obvious troubles this season.

Benteke will only be sold if Man City come in with 25mil this window, and as it is the last day of the window, I doubt Villa would even be able to spend the incoming transfer fee in a few hours. . . so that's not happening.

Most, if not all of these "deals" are totally dependent on Villa´s survival in the premiership.

And if Villa are relegated, would we seriously miss any of these apart from Benteke???

Agree2 Disagree0

Every team at the bottom have strengthened their squad - pssibly not Southampton who changed their manager. I thought Villa would sign nobody but instead they have signed a nobody. RL has obviously thought it not worth investing even if they lose out on the 20 million TV money. There were players there who would have strengthened in areas Villa need it. Even loan deals so that if or when relegation comes they are not stuck on the wage bill. Give the fans a bit of hope. Unknown French youngster or Huddlestone, for instance? The problem then when the drop comes, can you see the team with a few key departures winning at places like Millwall, Bolton, Watford, Middlesborough and so on. is this a better team than ones who have gone down such as Wolves, Bolton? Thanks a lot Randy wherever you are
