What happened to buying andros townsend? We still need 2 or 3 more, leavingit a bit late in my opinion, the team need to gel before the season starts
1.) 27 Jul 2015 19:07:45
I can still see Townsend leaving, whether its to us or another London club i'm unsure but not until end of the transfer window as spuds asking price is way too high.
2.) 27 Jul 2015 19:11:28
He doesn't want to leave Spurs apparently happy to stat and fight for his place
3.) 27 Jul 2015 19:23:54
I read in lots of press that he wants to fight for his place at Spurs. So Sherwoods alternative is a player called Ntep or something like that.

Does anyone still think villa will go in for charlie austin if all goes to plan signing jordan ayew???
1.) 24 Jul 2015 18:50:45
I don't think Tim will put in a bid for Austin, I think he is looking elsewhere for players at the moment. But you never know what might happen on the last day of the window :-)
2.) 24 Jul 2015 19:09:34
I wouldn't rule it out and its certainly a signing I'd like to see us make. Remember that we have also lost Weimann and Bent as well as Benteke so I would expect us to bring in at least one more striker to compliment Ayew.
3.) 24 Jul 2015 19:59:54
I agree andy,think that might be adebayor though.Unfortunately
23 Jul 2015 14:40:13
I think we should put a bid in for ryan shawcross!?!?
19 Jul 2015 20:20:31
Guzan could be on his way for 3m? Would love to see tim krul in goal for the villa
1.) 19 Jul 2015 20:47:25
I think if TS want winning mentality he should try a cheeky bid for valdes because LVG don't want him
2.) 19 Jul 2015 21:32:10
This a real strange one Tim must have someone in mind because if guzan leaves we're left with bunn and steer would not be impressed
3.) 19 Jul 2015 21:52:04
Strange indeed with Villa official site main headline singing Guzans praise in USA team gold cup?? Mad to sell and splash cash on a keeper when too many other priorities for the spine!
4.) 19 Jul 2015 23:28:31
Tom Heaton all the way would be best GK,burnley relegated he was top 5 stopper in PL last season,would love him to sign VP contract :)
5.) 20 Jul 2015 07:42:05
I agree with Villan_1985 & NickB6, this is strange the only thing I can suggest is that perhaps there as been some behind the scenes fall out between Guzan and Sherwood as the papers at the moment seem to be singing nothing but praises for Guzan. Sherwood must have a replacement in mind I would of thought so interesting to see how this pans out.
6.) 20 Jul 2015 09:25:59
Valdés is going to Valencia last time I checked.
7.) 20 Jul 2015 10:15:22
How about Sergio Romero, the Argentinian goalkeeper. On a free transfer, played in the World Cup. Cheap option if he wants a new goal keeper?
17 Jul 2015 17:17:02
Its true!! Delph at man city having a medical, just been on sky sports, very very disappointing. no loyalty!!!! Realy hope adebayor doesn't end up at villa park
{Ed002's Note - So will you bleat about any players joining AVFC this summer? No loyalty to their former clubs?}
1.) 17 Jul 2015 17:59:53
No just adebayor,think we can better players in,would like hernandez or embolo.thats my opinion
2.) 17 Jul 2015 17:52:13
No i will not bleat about players joining aston villa if they improve the team let's see who we sigh ,I think Delph is over rated,and what he said about loyalty makes you cringe
3.) 17 Jul 2015 17:40:14
Ed that's not fair, the guy just committed his future to Aston Villa a week ago publicly. I'm going to bleat till the cows come home. That really is not on. He should rather have just kept quiet until he had made his choice, instead of messing with all us emotional fans. If he hadn't have done that, I would have wished him well.
{Ed002's Note - Soccerball fans like you will always find a reason to whine. It is exactly the same as a player moving to Aston Villa - no different. Nothing he or the manager says (e.g. "not for sale") matters at all.}
4.) 17 Jul 2015 20:40:48
Come on Ed, you know it's not about him signing that is making us "bleat" as you rather unfairly put it. Had if happened last week I would agree entirely with your point but you must see this is a little differently and cut us all a little slack, surely ?
{Ed002's Note - It really is no different - if you hang off every word of players, coaches etc., there would never be any transfers at all.}
5.) 17 Jul 2015 21:32:10
I know where you are coming from Ed and as a cynical bugger myself I would generally agree. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that even the brutal, disingenuous, self serving, greedy world of football, there is generally a longer shelf-life to the kind of statement Delph made this week
If this is now to be the norm I think I am going to lose interest in the game all together.
I don't think I'd be alone
6.) 18 Jul 2015 04:31:27
Bang on Mendax - many of us assumed he would leave this window and if he had gone when City first came in for him then we wouldn't be overly concerned. The fact that he reeled off a bunch of rubbish saying he was loyal to the club only to leave a few days later - that's what annoys us. I don't blame Delph for going, I would do the same thing if it was for that level of pay increase. But the needless speeches are just not on. You don't see us whining about Benteke going. Why? He never said repeatedly and publically that he wanted to stay.
7.) 18 Jul 2015 09:44:52
Pretty much the way I see it Andy
What miffs me most, is that as a perfectly intelligent bloke, I swallowed all his loyalty and love for the club and fans pony and trap completely !
I was going around telling people what a "proper, down to earth lad Delph came across as"
Maybe I'm more annoyed at being made to look an idiot. I dunno
8.) 18 Jul 2015 13:40:32
I very rarely whine bud, football is my life and I can't bear to see it become anymore of a circus. I see many other rival fans actually and a few players at other clubs being critical of Delph's behavior so I can see some objectivity. You have to draw an ethical line somewhere and I am glad everyone is vocal that this line has been crossed. Anyway got to sleep on it and I am over it, Villa means more to me.
9.) 18 Jul 2015 15:47:46
I copped for a few disagrees on my comments when Delph decided to 'stay' by suggesting that he wasn't in fact loyal - because he had made his interest in leaving known and he had obviously spoken to City and not reached an agreement. So maybe I'm even more of a cynic than you Mendax!
We shouldn't forget though that Delph did do something for us so he is not all bad. By signing a new deal with us last season it gave the fans and players a boost and probably helped us stay up. In addition to that we got 8 million for him when we would have got nothing. The way I see it playing out is that City didn't offer him the wages he thought he would get the fist time round so he played off last seasons loyalty speech to net himself a more lucrative contract.
I would rather it hadn't of panned out that way but we stayed up and have 8 million, and Delph has his move and a lucrative contract - win win.
10.) 18 Jul 2015 16:09:14
Well put VillasSa
The line has well and truly been crossed
Anyway, onward and upwards

We definately need an out and out goalscorer up front, i'd go for hernandez, any thoughts??
1.) 25 Aug 2015 23:57:41
Yep, would be happy with that. Can't see that United can afford to let him go though
They are as short up front as we are
31 Jul 2015 15:58:35
Anyone know what's going on with adebayor? Has he signed?
25 Jul 2015 05:48:54
Doesnt seem to be much talk about andros townsend joining villa anymore. Surely we need to get players in asap, the new season is just around the corner
22 Jul 2015 13:48:19
Im hoping, as soon as cb deal is done we start spending! Townsend austin johnny evans embolo and praet please
30 Aug 2015 19:44:51
Why would he leave swansea for villa
25 Aug 2015 22:41:44
I think hernandez would be a great buy
02 Aug 2015 21:56:21
I agree i wouldn't personally want lescott,but i do think you want someone with a certain level of experience at the back
01 Aug 2015 22:44:00
I like dawson,realy good at spurs,i'd go for ryan shawcross,although i don't think stoke would sell him on thd cheap
29 Jul 2015 19:44:25
He's defo another option upfront, is that a definite? ?
