AVFC have bid for Carlos Sanchez, the CDM from Elche is exactly what we need, a strong player who would be perfect next to Westwood and Delph

Never heard of him.

I don't understand why it is so important for us to have heard of someone for it to be a good signing. Do people not realise that at some point in their career the big name players was unknown. There's just no satisfying some of the fans. We get experience (they are washed up) we get up and coming youth ( never heard of him). Come on guys you need to show more faith. I personally would rather us win games through shear hard work rather than buying the leaugue. rant over haha

Tell you what, Sanchez would be a great signing, especially for the position we find ourselves in at the minute, QPR, Everton also rumored for him. I also saw an article saying United were looking to get him in as a squad player. this is a signing i'm really hoping comes off, can see him having a Benteke'esque impact, as in a few great seasons and seeing his valuation rocket. ps i'm also quite behind the Cissokho move, hoping they both come in, then I wouldn't be too dis-heartened if that was all our business, although i'd love another forward

Dannybronx has a legit point what about benteke and bacuna
Agree8
Disagree2
Those were two good young signings but there have been way too many unsuccessful young signings to make us loose confidence eg tonev, bowery, helenius, sylla, Bennet and Luna. It's not surprising no one wants any more unknown youngsters
Agree5

You Can not count Helenius, the guy was never given a chance was he.
Agree10
Disagree1
The young signings mentioned were not given enough time. Sub appearances are not a fair crack of the whip. Agree that some of them have not hit the ground running but then again the lack of senior players around them cannot have helped
Agree8
Disagree2
I said I've never heard of him but I didn't say that this was a bad thing.
My point is that I just can't agree with the excitement of the post above and pretend to be happy with a potential signing that I've never heard of. And just because the player is good on Football Manager or YouTube doesn't mean he will be good in real life.
Agree2
Disagree2
People seem to be talking about this guy as if he is a young up and coming player who has the potential to increase in value over the years. the guy is 28.
Agree5
Disagree2
Regardless of his age, he'd still be a welcomed signing, people say we need a CDM then when we are linked with one they complain, I don't understand.
Agree7
Disagree3
It's almost impossible for 4-5 young players to be successful when all are playing together an learning at the same time, I'd say the players signed have ability and potential but playing them in an already struggling team an expecting them to perform is unrealistic.

Why is 28 old? I can't believe that anyone thinks that a 28 year old has little future. Think about Gerard, Lampard, Barry, all in the twilight but able to do a job. In some areas of sport 28 is reaching maturity, both in strength and mind. Just reflect that men start to grow up at 30 when our brain rules our body rather than our balls ruling our brain. Ask any women, they all know.

When I mentioned sanchez being 28, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. i'm aware 28 is aften when players start to come into ther prime and heaven knows we could do with some experience and presence in our midfield.
I only mentioned his age as is seemed the tone of the debate was about him as an up and coming youngster, which he isnt
Agree7
Disagree2
He also had a solid World Cup for Columbia, I would welcome this deal with open arms, as it's just what we need, a strong defensive midfielder and at 28 he's seen it all and got the tshirt

TV reporting villa close to wrapping up a deal for alex chisoko who played 15 games for Liverpool last season, from valencia
Believable17
Unbelievable2
Aly not alex! Decent signing I think, reports around the £2million mark.
PL can't be planning to use Richardson at left back then if this is the case?which makes sense as I think he's better further forward.
Agree5
Disagree7
I thought he played at centre back for Liverpool?
Vlaars replacement?
Agree4
Disagree16
If Cissokho is to join Richardson could be deployed as a centre midfielder as he has played there before. But I'm guessing he won't be Number 9. So my question is who are we signing who will become our number 9?
Agree2
Disagree11
Sorry Mendax way off he was used as either right or left wing back
Agree9
Disagree3
Mendax, perhaps you are mixing him up with Sakho who is still at Liverpool and plays centre back?
Agree2
Disagree6
Yep, that's the fellah. Cheers mate
Oh no, does this mean I have to confess to being wrong on something!
Agree2
Disagree5
{Ed007's Note - SSsshhh... you might get away with it. I can delete posts, for a small 'administration' fee of course ;)
Why would you think Richardson would be a number 9? Never played in that position as far as I know. Our number 9's are Benteke and Kozac (once they are fit)

The no. 9 shirt is vacant. but that means sweet fa so who really cares.

I will never believe another word mendax says, for me you're in the same folder as kingvilla!

Cheers Brynner, you know how to spoil someone's weekend
Thanks for your generous offer Ed.

Cissokho did play CB for Liverpool last season on a few occasions and he's played CB many times for Lyon, I'd expect him to play on the left of a 3 at the back.

I knew I couldn't be wrong. not even by accident!
Thanks for putting things straight Scg87

Cissokho will not play in a back three or a back two. He is a LB.

Spanish paper claiming Cissokho to join Villa. Didn't particularly convince on loan at Liverpool last season.

On a website now too. I maybe wrong, but not a name I have seen linked with us before, and IF true just shows the British Papers haven't got a clue what's going on….
Agree6
Disagree2
It's not a name linked in British papers because villa keeps things quiet when signing players, it's usually when they are close or having a medical the first we hear of it, British paper make it up the never have hard evidence to back it up
Agree9

Why to people disagree with my posting of the cissokho deal when its on the t, v, and in the local paperssome of the recent users question if they are bluenoses usingOUR site

Aston Villa are linked with 20yr old Brian Lenihan, a full-back from Cork City who is also capable of playing in CM; he is a young prospect who has been backed to be better than Coleman in a couple of years, is performances have attracted interest from Arsenal, Celtic and QPR, however it is rumoured the player would prefer a move to Villa park as they have a great youth development and he would get more play time. If he decides to move to another club villa will turn there attentions to Kelly from Liverpool (loan) who is a RB predominately who can also play CB. another options is Wass who players is trade in Ligue 1 with Evian, he is 25yrs old who can play RB or RW, this rumours have signalled the loan move of Lowton to Middlesbrough, as he is deemed surplus to requirements at AVFC.

"Great youth development" - When exactly was that? On the day another of our supposedly highly rated youngsters fails to make any impact and signs a 3 year contract with MK Dons!!

Caruthers was only rated highly by users of this site
Agree13

In that case, it proves the point even more. He was rated by fans but not the management. However we have produced nobody better in recent years!

Daniel Johnson, when he is given a premier league chance will shine. Jack Grealish is starting to get his chance. Both better overall footballers than Carruthers imo.
