The new season is just round the corner and we have had a few players in and are awaiting maybe one or two more.We have signed Phil Senderos,Joe Cole,Kieran Richardson and recently Aly Cissokho.
Senderos,Cole and Cissokho have all played at Champions League level which should bring a wealth of footballing know how to the team.
Roy Keane joining was met with mixed views but for me was a good addition to AVFC bringing in a man who is a winner at the highest level,who has managed,has guts and connections.Im all for Roy Keane and think Lambert and Keane will do well.
Now onto recent rumours of players linked with AVFC.
There is nothing concrete in these rumours so take them as you will.
There is a lot of talk of Carlos Sanchez the Columbian DM from Elche joining AVFC.It is not concrete but he is said to be joining at the latest Tuesday this is just talk so let’s see what happens.
Also another rumour is we have tabled a new bid for Ki which is a deal Roy Keane has had his hand in sorting out but we will have to wait and see on that one to.
Would love both in to strengthen the midfield which is in my opinion the main priority….utv

It emerged yesterday that Elche midfielder Carlos Sanchez may be a target for Aston Villa, and reports in Spain now say that he is to fly in for a medical this morning and sign a three-year contract after the clubs struck a deal. Elche are keen to bring in a replacement quickly and are thought to be in talks with Swansea City over Jose Canas.

Bill; if that’s the case he’ll probabaly be away for some time looking for a humble pie!!
Guys – being an old s*d, I’m not very clever with this blogging lark. How do I get my comment to attach itself to a string of responses to another comment. Blimey, even that sounds half ars*d. Hope someone understands what I’m rambing on about ‘cos I don’t LOL
Mate you touch the hand with pen symbol there you go I think that’s what your saying
i happen to think we are not doing to badly we can cuss all we like we will not change what is going on behind the scene but i do think if lambert can get this sanchez to free up westwood and delph and keep our fingers firmly crossed who knows
Did it work Giddy !!!
Bang on mate you learn something everyday. 😉
Bo**ox – must have done something wrong!
Good piece by Matt Kendrick on Jack Grealish in the Birmingham Mail (on line) – sorry don’t know how to post the link
Soz I’m fucked how to do that aswell.
Hitchens, your reply worked perfectly.
Sometimes, it won’t work though, as replies in the same group are limited to 5 (our choice, so it doesn’t mess up the whole thing too much).
Posting a link is easy.
If you look at the very top of this page, you’ll see it says “www.astonvillaviews.co .uk.transfer-gossip-round up/comment-page-6/~comments”.
That’s the bit you want.
Well, the same sort of thing on the page you want to link to, that is.
Right click on that line, then left click on “copy”.
Then come on here, open a reply and in the box, right click and then left click “paste”.
Easy peasy!
HTH.
Are you having a laff mate easy peasy??????
It would be if you actually get someone to show you mate.
So easy, you won’t get your breath.
Even my missus can do it and she’s totally useless when it comes to comps.
You must know someone younger, with half a brain 😉 who can show you, surely?
Several non-European players are owned by a third party company. This comes from the entirely sensible and legal way footballers can spread tax over a lifetime in many countries, which somehow gets European tax authorities blood boiling.
You are going to earn a lot of money as a player, and from image rights, bu it is only for maybe six years, then 90% of players drop out of the game altogether earning nothing from work. Your income tax could be 75% in France 45% here, and over 50% in much of Latin America. So you sell yourself to a company which sells your playing duties to your club, collects your earnings gross and pays you only a fraction during your playing career, investing the rest. It then pays you a steady income once you quit playing thus reducing your total income tax bill.
The situation in Europe is tax authorities accept this for image rights but not for wages, and they have strong armed EUFA (remember Tevez) to block obvious fiddles between the two pots.
Thanks for that explanation OLL. Makes perfect sense. I had always assumed it was just agents, particularly in South America, getting rich by speculating on the futures of young talent. I suppose they still are but you can see the attraction from the players POV.
Soak up the optimism guys. It will be business as usual here on Saturday evening and we might get a special appearance from Ian.
Glad I’m not the only one
Giddy, think I’ve finally worked out how to reply – there’s hope for me yet!!
Hitchens, if you’re still having problems, just make sure you type the name of the person you’re responding to. Then even if it comes at the bottom, it’s obvious.
And it’s actually a very good way of getting debate rolling again sometimes, as replies left higher up the page can easily get missed.
Thanks Badger I’ll re-read it when I’ve drunk less red wine LOL
Ok, back to the subject in hand (no jokes please!).
I have to say, I hope we get this Sanchez bloke, although I suspect very many of us can’t even recall him in the WC.
We definitely need a DM who can get stuck in and for me, a crafty sort, who can break up play with a cultured right dirty foul, when things are looking dangerous 🙂
I don’t normally condone that sort of thing, but it’s what we need, if we want to be safer in the table than we otherwise might be.
Lambert being interested in him suggests to me he might actually be quite decent, as any decent money spent by the manager has not been wasted (Benteke and Vlaar spring to mind) if you think about it.
As has been hinted at though, Elche and Valenciennes aren’t exactly top level are they?
So why aren’t other clubs in for him?
As I said, I hope we get him, as he’ll possibly be the best we actually buy this season.
And tbh, it’s a great roller coaster of a signing.
Badger…fuck me mate. When I argued with you the other week that Lamberts best buys have been the ‘more expensive ones’….you virtually said I was talking crap…why the change of heart? 🙂
Because I’m trying my best to be positive????
Not looking forward to Saturday’s game tbh and as has been said, I suspect it’ll soon be normal service resumed.
I hope I’m wrong.
Thanks again Badger. My comments seem to appear at the bottom of the page even though I’ve clicked on the pen symbol and the comment box appears at the end of the ‘thread’. Not sure how other posters are seeing them. Sorry to be an old f*rt on this – might just take your advice!!
Hitchens your not alone I just find it all totally baffling mate,get the vino down yer fuck it.
Giddy: perfect advice. See you all later off to watch Jack Bauer – Series One with the missus
I don’t want to have to notice a defensive midfielder. You can bet your bottom dollar that Colombia wouldn’t have done much without a good player in that role.
App he C.Sanchez kept Elche up last season utv
Yeah, it would be nice if we had a “James Rodriguez’ for him to protect!
Yep, good point Kent and one I can’t argue.
One point though and that is Columbia were a very good TEAM, without any outstanding players, the obvious apart.
Are Villa equally as good a TEAM? I personally don’t think so and indeed it often looks like the players don’t know each other at all.
JD, if that’s true, I can’t argue with that one either.
The “Rock” and “Concrete”.
I like it.
Pete Colley AND james Nursey saying this is quite away off a done deal.
Langford B’ham Mail (10 mins ago) saying deal looks OK – positive negotiations today. Colley and Nursey being drama queens?
Should add – according to the article no medical yet booked; guessing it sounds like the negotiations relate to the third party ownership?
Hitchens, yes mate. Not sure what to believe. Fingers crossed again!
good day villa fans wot the news 2day ?????
does anyone know if sanchez speaks english better than we can on ere 🙂 cause this will slow him up settling in
any more news on possible incoming transfers yesterday was exciting lmao
No I don’t think he don’t mate but then again its never been a problem for Lambert.
lmao thats a point he needs 2 learn 2 languages teams and lamberts
In England …..medical…..sign….yey

Express & Star saying a wrangle over third party ownership – any knowledge JD?
All I’ve read is that he’s in brum to have a medical and sign today utv
keeping seeing the same Hitchens 60 but I think a lot of the time it’s slow news sites repeating old news. Hope this is the case anyway.
Badger, Giddy – see that I posted a link hey, hey ,hey!!!
Show off!!!!!! 😀
Give an old man a break!!
Told ya!
Piece of piss, unless you’re Giddy 🙂

My Spanish no up to that JD – I’ll just keep everything crossed
Read my update from sky
