VillaKnollBoy 91 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Lambert is quietly going about his business and picking up decent young talent. Next season should see us certainly looking upwards rather than downwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hungry young player with a point to prove. Mexican international. Might be worth a punt. I think he's a good player personally, never really understood why he wasn't given a chance at Spurs. Got some links with the club due to Hutton loan. I dunno.. I think it'd be a decent signing for a few million. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ashtini 27,252 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Dos Santos would be a very astute signing.

Players that go there don't care for success. It just shows which players are hungry for a good career and which want big banks. Even those that go to Anzhi/Monaco/Malaga (when they first started splashing it) at least still play in top European leagues. What's the UAE league got to offer?

ruggermad 16,245 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * We've finally completed the signing of 22 year old Nicklas Helenius on a three year deal. Club confirmation Delighted to have another young player on our books, and one that performed well last season for his old club, Aalborg. Suggestions now are that Lambert will sign one more player (Luke Murphy most likely - Crewe chairman said it was only a matter of when rather than if) then get some dead wood out (Ireland, Bannan, Holman etc) and then work some more using that money to pad the squad out somewhat.

ruggermad 16,245 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * With Nicklas Helenius recently joining.Could it mean Benteke might move this summer? He's said that he wants to stay for at least one more year so I should imagine he would stay. Worst case scenario is a bid comes in that we can't refuse. But even then, that's not gonna be less than £20m in my opinion. So worst case scenario we get £20m for him, which is alright But rather he stayed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magic J 10,640 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * With Nicklas Helenius recently joining.Could it mean Benteke might move this summer? I do not expect Benteke to move this summer, although he may well if a monsterous bid comes in (25+). However, Helenius is far from his replacement. For a number of reasons, firstly their playing styles are completely different, despite his frame and height Helenius is not your typical CF, like Benteke. Secondly we already needed a new striker as Bent is most likely leaving, not to mention Lambert is trying to build a squad which promotes depth and competition. if he is to leave, it won't be because Helenius has come in and we will undoubtedly have to look for a replacement. Regarding Luna, I like his beard, so I like him Rumours suggesting Holman is set to leave very soon, I like him. I mean he is a try hard and who doesn't like a tryer. That being said he lacks technical ability and so I agree that we should be moving him on. Pip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magic J 10,640 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * I reckon Lambert would be class on SM. He seems to be determined to bring in young players on the up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
