By the way, in regard to any 'smokescreens' (if they exist) I could see how it could benefit both teams tbh, AC want to rise his price from schalke with our interest, we want to lower fabiano's price with our interest in huntelaar. However I do think there is/was a genuine interest in him.

Anyone who doesn't think we will be bringing players in before Tuesday, can I just point you in the direction of a few things? There has been no team photo taken yet, the player profile page on the website has not been updated from last season, and their has been no media photo session yet for Sandro and Gallas.

Its quite obvious that Levy and Eales having been counting on late movement for some time, so have put all that admin stuff back til the window closes.

Don't they have a board meeting before home games - maybe the final transfer push will be decided today?

Nah, they roll up at The Brickies buy a few jugs a quick sing song then stagger to the ground 2 mins before ko.

Really good points in that post.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...there's no such thing as a smokescreen.

If we're not properly in for KJH then KJH's agent isn't going to play along because it is in his interests to tout his client about as much as possible.


a smokescreen is just the name given to, hiding the real "agenda" So pretty much anything H says is smokescreen :wink:

And Agents would be happy to play along, the more clubs are named the stronger the agents position will feel. That said, I am sure we have at least made esquires, how far they went, or are going...i don't know...its to smokey in here to see the wood from the pvc

Really don't want Young - a one season wonder if ever I saw one. Overpriced and fundamentally a turd who no one will ever be able to polish.

Liverpool will have pulled off a real coup with Meireles. A better player than Diarra IMO (though I do really rate Diarra too).

also even if a deal has been agreed for keane to leave I don't think that would be announced until we get fabiano in because being a striker down would strengthen that seville cocks hand!.....so that said I think activity in and out will happen pretty much all at once, but I hope that's soon because I'm sure my mrs will leave me if I spend anymore time on here!......anyone got a spare room?

My marriage broke down the summer we got Ramos I don't think the time I spent on here helped:roll:

Young is a good player but i still doubt a deal with villa will be struck in time

i don't see the point in Young, he would be a good addition to the squad, but probably wouldn't be a first team player. Plus the amount he'd cost, we'd be able to get a much better foreign player for the money.

the only way i could see it working is with one or two of our players going the other way.

Hutton & Keane for Young???

I don't think there's any chance they'll let him go after the guarantees they've given their fans and now they've lost out on McGeady as a replacement.

£20m odd for shit Lennon back-up isn't at all appealing for us either.

Like Parker, I fully expect an imminent announcement that he's signed a new contract.

Mysteryman on Villatalk (villa ITK)

Ash would be interested in going to Spurs is correct but he has not asked the Chairman or Board or O'Neil at the time to go . He is in my opinion our best player and we would miss him more than Milner ( Altho at the moment you could put a good arguement up on that )

Ashley is very aware of the GB deal to Man City and the finer details and it's going to raise an interest for anybody the sUMs involved are mind boggling seriously they are almost beyond belief . Do not rule them out re Young is all I would say .

To be honest if a new manager comes in and changes the way we play it might have an adverse affect on his effectiveness for us .
