The sounds coming from Coates at Stoke this morning is the same frustrating problems that I have been telling you for over a week that Villa are experiencing with Levy. Bids in and bids that have been put together on the advice of agents and previous negotiations. And permission to talk to players. I even think Robbie Keane acknowledged in his interview for Ireland that there are bids on the table for him. ALL the holdup is at Tottenham’s end.

Don't tell me we are genuinely interested in actually signing Klaas Jan-Hunterlaar?!

Seriously, i'd much rather we stick with what we have got if that's the case.

Or clearly wasn't that interested at all, as we could have had him very cheaply from Milan last summer.

what summer was it when Harry was saying on SSN that he...'liked the boy' lol...? was that last summer?

I actually wanted Suarez to join us badly. This guy has some serious skills and very lethal if used correctly, which is not the case at the moment for liverpool

I just want to scream in frustration! Circles, circles, circles thats all we're doing!

pablo on COYS re Kranjcar...

to Sunderland...Bruce trying hard.

I hope not, want to keep Niko

Who was it who called me out for being 'negative' for daring to suggest that if we didn't sign anyone by last weekend that there would be no movement by our first game?

I hope you're busy writing your apology.

In fairness to Levy it's possible that he's reluctant to let people leave until he has confirmed a replacement. Maybe that's where the problem is.

If Diarra signs, I suspect Palacios would be off soon after. If Crouch leaves, it's because we've done the unthinkable and actually signed a new first-team striker.

The hold up is quite clearly agreeing fees. Whilst its frustrating for a lot of us on here, because we want to see outs so we can see ins...its also imperative that we agree what we consider to be fair prices for our players.

Keane himself said that Club are trying to sort out a fee for himself.

Bruce has already said in the media that he's interested.

Well that's a shock.

Might have been the one before when Levy was first cosying up to Madrid and this was going on http://soccerlens.com/real-madrid-f...diarra-van-der-vaart-and-ruud-for-sale/30759/

My only reservation regarding hunterlaar would be the fact Harry vetoed the option in favor of crouch. Harry can't be totally sold on his form since surely?

The Journalist · Aug 10, 2011

it cant be all negotiating fees. Keanes agent was given a price and permission to talk to other clubs.

felmani26 · Aug 10, 2011

I don't think Sunderland would have enough to tempt us to part with Kranjcar so i'd imagine it would be more than likely a loan move.

Well if there is more than one Club interested we have the right to listen to all offers.

I agree but I would also be gutted with that. Loaning him to Sunderland - no way IMO.

I want him in the squad and being used relatively frequently.

I really don't want niko to leave us!

Doesn't make sense for us as with Pienaar injured and Bentley and Gio likely off, he's our primary cover for Bale, vdV and Lennon.

Villa have no right to moan about other clubs trying to get as much money as possible after they've made about £40million on Young and Downing
