Slimani of sporting Lisbon linked, hard to see him choosing is if the likes of Napoli and Everton firm up their interest but shows the ambition of the board/ manager of we make a bid!
{Ed002's Note - Absolutely zero chance.}

Think I made that clear with Napoli an such sniffing around but as I said does show ambition.
{Ed002's Note - There is zero interest from Aston Villa and it would be layghed away if there was - Twitetr I assume.}

How rude ed.
{Ed002's Note - Try not to be a glifnard.}

Was just Twitter when I posted, now several news articles stating his 24mil release clause. Have start getting bids in for strikers soon so they can bed into the team with friendlies against more suited teams round the corner.
{Ed001's Note - he is not joining Villa.}

I do agree ed!
But with you being a pool fan, closer to the story than us. How close is Big Ben to joining palace?
The more I think about him, with the full fee not paid, and his apparent affection for villa. I wonder if a season loan, with a few to buying if we get promoted.
Or am I being stupid, as normal! Lol.
{Ed001's Note - he is not keen on 'dropping down' to Palace, that is the main sticking point, so I can't see any chance of a return to Villa.}

I sadly if I'm honest, don't blame him.
Cheers mate.

I've got a massive hunch that he's coming back on loan (with view to buy if we go up) Dr Tony is saying he wants us to be in top 3 (or is it 5?) clubs in the world, if Big Ben wants to feel the love, and Dr Tony is serious about it, why couldn't it be made to happen? I've got no Intel on this, just a joining some dots and a hell of a lot of optimism
UTV.

If you've got a massive hunch, I'd make an appointment with Dr Tony so he can put some ointment on it. Meanwhile, I'd have Big Ben back, though he'd probably be looking for premiership wages. Mind you, even when he must have known he was moving on, there was no doubting his commitment to scoring goals for the club, which is more than can be said for many of the Lombards we are carrying right now. Perhaps we could put him and Crouchie up front and then keep punting the ball in off the wings until it hits one of them on the head.
