Villarocker

Adebayor is 6 inches taller than Veretout. Doesn't look like there is that much of a difference in height to me . Aha, Villa's pitch as a camber - didn't you know?!

Carrier pigeon. Mine was fooking fast as well. Trouble is, the bastard used to stop off at the wrong houses on the way back so I still didn't get the news first. He tasted nice in that pie though!

Gestede scored 20 league goals in 39 games last season. The season before last, in the same league, Charlie Austin scored 17 in 31. We all know how well he did last season in the Premier League! OK, I know Austin had proved himself a regular scorer for a while in the lower leagues but Gestede may just have needed time to settle, remember he had moved to another country with a young wife!

His President said he would take the offer that we made. That means it all comes down to how we pay that and what the player wants, surely? Bearing in mind his president also said he had his heart set on a move to Villa, the only thing that could jeopardise this in my eyes is the following: The President has had a change of heart and now wants more money. The President wants better payment terms - say we offered 5m up front and rest in instalments but he wants 7m up front and rest in instalments etc. The terms we have offered the player are not to his satisfaction and he's looking for a better deal. Clubs, other than Leicester and more appealing, have joined the chase for the player and he now wants to talk to them before making a decision. Personally, I think that he will join us. He had his heart set on us and the president declared that he would take what we were offering. If we need to give more up front and reasonably more in wages to get the lad in then surely that has to be done? Come on Villa, make this happen!

Rudy Gestede's in town, don't look good for your future. He's gonna shoot you right down, with a goal or two. Rudy, Score us a goal Rudy. Score us a goal Rudy. Score us a goal Rudy And repeat

Forget it lads, this deal is off! Those pesky sly foxes from Leicester have snook in at the last minute and got him to sign for them instead. This is the package that he just couldn't turn down: £10k per week - Lineker used his Spurs connection to get them to carry on paying £90k per week of his wages. A one year pass for him and as many others that he can drag along to the National Space Centre. A year's supply of Walkers Crisps - any flavour! And, the deal clincher, the full back catalogue of all Engelbert Humperdinck's cd's.

We need to sign another Belgian - doesn't feel right not having one in the club anymore... Do you know what positions we will be looking at? How close are we to Veretout? Is it likely to be scuppered at the last minute? Would Praet suffice?

Get the deal done Villa before those sly foxes try to steal our future star! PS: Fair play to the president of Nantes for taking a hit on fee in order to let this lad play for the claret and bleus

I think all women should be encouraged to just make themselves "invisible" for the entirety of transfer windows so us blokes can enjoy our bit of gossip for a change. I mean, let's face it, women spend all of their lives f**cking gossiping and do we interfere? No! We just sit there listening (pretending) and nodding our heads saying "I couldn't agree more love or, yes babe, I think that's bang out of order". Cameron, make it law already! Ban women from the transfer windows, especially those whose initials are JB **EDIT** Except for the professional women who bring us transfer news such as Natalie Sawyer. Those women help us get over the disappointment of the players we lose or miss out on and are therefore good pain relief! I find it quite difficult to concentrate on the news when she is on screen. What news? I am sure they artificially create those female presenters on SSN. Obviously, that process kicked in after the appointment of Clare Tomlinson!

Alright, they are knocking on a bit for strikers but to say they should be buried is a bit unfair IMO.

Well actually there is! The president of Nantes claimed that he will join a "large English club" which clearly rules out that "small English club" from Leicester.

I think Scott has been written off. He's neither French, French-speaking or, come from France and, he's not named Jordan so he is possibly exempt from protection! But! If his surname had have been St Clair or Eclair well, that might have earned him some cover!

Just want to say that I hope that the fans will give Jordan, and Idrissa and Jordan, Jose, and Jordan (Trent's confident) and whoever else new that's come in, enough time to get used to each other and a fair amount of games before they start to criticise or write off any of them. Not that I'm saying people are writing them off - just saying.

Just email him a picture of the horrible shithole that is Leicester, with all the inbred crisp-munching peasants who live there, and he'll discount it immediately.To be fair Aston is hardly the Bahamas. Aston is more tropical than the Bahamas! And, does the Bahamas have a stately home once owned by royalty? In fact, does the Bahamas have a power league? Think you will find that Aston wins.

Sherwood's first transfer window and he's like a young kid whose parents have sold all his baby toys at car boot, taken him to smyths toys and said "go on then son, buy as much as you like with that" lol

The wages he gets will just be what Bent and Weimann were earning between them. Only difference is we might actually get a return for our investment!

My lunch break had ended so I was rushing dude!

I Congo on with all these puns anymore. Iran out of them so Kenya all give it a rest otherwise I'm Ghana have to give this thread a miss!

Oman that was poor!

Anyone as long as it's not Chad Evans!

I think we will start the season looking something like this: ------------------Guzan/New Keeper------------------ Crespo------Richards-----------Clark---------Amavi ----------------Veretout-----------Gueye---------------- ------Ayew------------Gil/Praet--------Sinclair------- -------------------------Adebayor------------------------ Bench of: Bunn (or Guzan if new keeper signs), Okore, Hutton, Bacuna (Gil if Praet signs), Grealish, Sanchez, Agbonlahor I think that starting line up would make the majority of Villa fans very happy!

Just watched a video compilation of him online and he looks the real deal to me. Hope this one gets done and dusted today!

Can someone, obviously with a lot more talent than me, PLEASE do a mock-up of the new Villa home shirt with our sponsor being JORDAN - as in the country - similar to that of Atletico Madrid (Azerbaijan)

Really? I'll admit that my usual reaction to links like this and most others we've signed this window is "yep, haven't heard of him either". Seriously this lad is going to be special. I hope he stays long term but if we sell him I'll tell you here and now that he has the potential to basically shatter our record transfer fee received. He'll dwarf it Bloody hell. That's impressive. Richard meant record transfer fee for a Jordan!
