Aston Villa rumours 2

07 Aug 2019 11:21:31
Moussa Dembélé. 🔜.

07 Aug 2019 15:06:07
Nothing being said about him at all kingy, having said that he would be a great signing.
If we are prepared to spend 25 - 30 mil, he would definitely be a marquee signing for sure.
If his name gets mentioned with us in the next 12 hours or so, I will be a very happy bunny.

07 Aug 2019 15:53:56
No chance Lyon want 50 mil.

07 Aug 2019 16:16:50
Dembele is a cracking player at an absolute premium price I agree Dave.

07 Aug 2019 19:56:21
I hear mbapie.

07 Aug 2019 20:06:05
Dembele is going nowhere, and would cost 80M in this market! Zero chance.

06 Aug 2019 22:36:40
Douglas Luiz, gets his work permit.

07 Aug 2019 10:47:19
I am really looking forward to seeing this guy play .

He could actually be out talisman that’s if we can get him to stick around long enough .

He is so highly rated it’s untrue.

07 Aug 2019 15:19:13
And me kenn, every bit of footage I have seen on him he seems to be a very clever and attack minded player, and does a lot of damage in the final third.
I am beginning to struggle on what our team will look like, such a lot of potential and availability.
How can you possibly keep the squad happy other than a rotation system.

06 Aug 2019 16:49:01
We are being liked to Mbaye Diagne of Galatasary.
11 Million being quoted.

06 Aug 2019 21:26:17
this guy has some goalscoring record. older than smiths usual player choices. would be good addition.

06 Aug 2019 21:41:43
Very similar to Wesley, surely we need something different.

06 Aug 2019 23:27:34
Who do you think then Chris? Because every striker that’s mentioned in your opinion is too similar to Wesley.

07 Aug 2019 08:26:14
No mate, just this one, name me another that I’ve said is too similar to Wesley?

07 Aug 2019 09:11:44
Jean Kevin Augustin.

Just out of interest who do you think we need?
I would take a punt on Sturridge, someone who can finish instinctively, doesn’t do much else but when the balls in the box comes alive.

07 Aug 2019 09:23:55
Fair enough😂 I just think we need a finisher, sounds stupid but Michael Owen type before he got crocked, quick, nippy, can get in behind and at home in the box, I would have loved Maupay but that ships sailed. I see Watford still can’t agree a fee for Sarr, he’s can play both positions winger and striker, goal scoring record isn’t there but some players suit premier league better. Glad I’m not the one who’s got to find one, going to be a busy two days.

07 Aug 2019 09:45:26
I’m trying to think of some speedy natural finishers who we could realistically get

Struggling to be honest
The lad that Everton signedwould of been ideal Moises kean.

07 Aug 2019 10:58:48
I’m not sure about Diagne to be honest .

Scoring record is amazing

However looking on the bible that it you tube 😂 he doesn’t look great and link up play and bringing others into the game .

I would prefer Augustine to be honest but who am I 🤪

One thing for sure is deano is creating a team that can score goals from front to back so I’m not worried if we don’t get another striker.

07 Aug 2019 12:02:04
Yea that’s the type I was thinking of, quick nippy natural finisher, god knows who, Mbappe? 😂.

06 Aug 2019 16:03:30
I've been told Benrahma been at BHM today and passed medical, announcement tomorrow evening/ early Thursday, still trying for Axel and Phillips, nothing about a No9, only other thing I heard was 100% McGinn staying as looking for a property in an area the right side of Solihull for BMH, no it's not by me in Chelmsley lol 😂

UTV.

06 Aug 2019 16:59:47
With what we have, why Axel.

06 Aug 2019 21:40:09
We have 3 keepers so why Heaton? because we’re Villa and we spend what we want! 💰💰💰

UTV.

06 Aug 2019 21:42:30
The last bloke you said was looking for property was Thiery Henry, turn it in.

06 Aug 2019 21:53:19
So going on your last comment Chris, McGinn is leaving 🤷🏼‍♂️

UTV.

06 Aug 2019 22:00:37
& Chris, to save you looking back at the archives again, I never said Henry was looking for property, I said someone saw a video conference call with Martinez that made me think it was Martinez we were after when Bruce went

UTV.

07 Aug 2019 08:25:18
I’ve never said Mcginn is leaving? I said Alan Nixon was reporting united wanted him, his article is still out there. You ok the other hand specifically said Henry was looking at property in the area, then when you was called out on it recently you responded with something along the lines of “caught one today” as if to imply your fishing. Shortly after that Sturridges brothers dogs former owners cousins doctor told you was was in talks to sign him and now you’ve gone with the safe option of Mcginn is staying because he’s buying property the right side of Solihull. You can see why people can be forgiven for thinking you talk out your rear end.

07 Aug 2019 10:05:09
Errrmmm. the Sturridge 1 wasn’t me, was someone from Tile Cross that said that, I’m from Chelmsley Wood 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ve said we should go for Sturridge though, need to check your archives a lil more thorough mate, just accept that if someone in and around Villa tells me something, I like to share as it’s a RUMOURS site, can’t put it more simply than that tbh?

UTV.

07 Aug 2019 12:02:49
But if someone in and around villa tells you stuff that never comes off, why are you still listening to them?

06 Aug 2019 14:51:23
So, a little rumour emanating from someone in the hallowed halls at villa park is that deano fancies a late swoop for ollie watkins, I wouldn't be upset with that and please please no, an option as a last resort on deadline day is a pay if you play offer to the knackered old self entitled donkey that is Daniel sturridge, I hope not, he might as well change his name to micah Richards for all the games he'd play for us.

05 Aug 2019 19:27:43
Sky are Saying, Jean Kevin Augustine 22, playing for Leipzig. Centre-forward, But can play on either wing . French U21 player, Crystal Palace are interested as well .
Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

06 Aug 2019 08:35:43
Too similar to Wesley for me, we need a natural finisher.

06 Aug 2019 13:27:09
He also currently can't hold a regular place in the Leipzig team, so is he really what we want?

05 Aug 2019 18:10:27
Jean-Kévin Augustin is one Suso allegedly likes the look of. Notably absent from the Leipzig game and having fallen behind Werner, it is understood by Sky and insiders that the pacey striker may want to move on. Not a prolific striker, scoring only 6 last term from 25 appearances, however was mostly used as a substitute behind Werner. 18mil price tag.

05 Aug 2019 18:23:14
We really need a natural goal scorer but for one that fits the profile age wise, it’s going to take 35m minimum.

05 Aug 2019 09:25:39
Think with the game against Leipzig that we need another striker quite bad it's the last thing we really need.

05 Aug 2019 09:38:25
Agree Bigman to have a stable season we need a striker who can bag you 15-20 goals a season I think looking at Wesley he's not that kind of player. A few on here would like Maupay as well would he cut it in his 1st season in the PL? Don't get me wrong Maupay is a very good player but it could be in hindsight anyway as it looks like he's off to Brighton. i'm sure the management have got a striker in mind but who it is is anybody guess.

05 Aug 2019 23:01:13
Daz I get your point however when you say a 15-20 goal a season striker in the premier league that’s easier said than done.

Last season the top scorers was

22 goals - salah, Aubameyang and Mane
21 goals - Aguero
18 goals - Vardy
17 goals - Kane and Sterling
16 goals - hazard
14 goals - wilson


These are the top strikers in the league . Only 8 players scored more than 15 league goals all top players

The issue is 15-20 goal a season strikers don’t grow on trees .

Yes we need another striker, however the philosophy deano is trying to create is that goals can come from all over the pitch therefore not burdening the likes of Wesley and others.

04 Aug 2019 20:12:35
I have just been reading it looks like Benrahma will be joining us.
Maupay is reported to be having a medical at Brighton.
I hope the Benrahma deal goes through quickly so we can concentrate on another striker.
Happy days.

04 Aug 2019 21:00:00
Dave really hope you aren't a clone of kingy.

04 Aug 2019 21:37:21
Kingy reports BS, this is all over the papers scottcafu, it’s a bit different.

Looks like we’re getting the winger we both wanted Dave, now if we agree on a striker does that mean they’ll go and get him haha?

04 Aug 2019 21:42:04
Kingy, Hahaha, I love it scotty.
Also just noted on sky, Brentford close to signing a French winger come A/ M.
So maybe a pointer there.
Fingers and legs crossed.

04 Aug 2019 22:56:11
Chris as long as it ain't terrible tekkers.

05 Aug 2019 08:18:38
😂😂😂 come on give Big Ben one last chime.

04 Aug 2019 10:32:01
Sounds like Maupay is off to Brighton 4 year deal for 20 million. Will we sign another striker.

04 Aug 2019 13:19:19
Definitely - according to Kingy on this very post, we're signing Diego Costa on deadline day 😉.

04 Aug 2019 17:02:49
Surprised that we’re not going for Maupay to be honest . But then maybe we have a better option up out sleeve.
