According to the Birmingham Mail, who appears to be the most reliable news source. Claim that Aston Villa are not going to pursue Kiyotake. Aston Villa have submitted a transfer inquiry about the Japanese midfielder and news outlets claim that Nuremberg want a big fee for their midfielder. Aston Villa are very unlikely to pay the 8 million fee that has been demanded and as a result, will not follow up their inquiry.
I know little about this player, except for the fact that he has had a very good season and appears to be rated. However, I don’t see Aston Villa buying any more players until they sell a couple more. But from this transfer inquiry, Aston Villa fans will now know that Lambert still wants to add to his team, particularly the midfield.
Kiyotake is an attacking midfielder, so perhaps Lambert is still looking for a player that can play behind the forward. I thought that was why Bacuna was brought it?
Hi guys, have put a Sky Sports news feed in to the right under the recent comments, ideally i’d like to pull in the NewsNow feed but they charge £75 a month so i thought the Sky one would be decent as it’s free, what do you all think? want to keep it or shall i get rid?
Guest looks OK to me mate, Hope other think so… 🙂
Binned it for now, it wont allow me to control the styling, i’ll find a more suitable one.
Erm I am disappointed too lads but this is much ado about nothing!
I haven’t read the Birmingham mail article but did they include that we apparently bid 7.5m and nurnberg released a statement?
Nurenberg released an official statement along the lines of..
he is not for sale,and they want to keep him.
This reportedly after a 7.5m bid
So lads is it lerner’s fault he isn’t for sale ?
Or are you thinking that those statements are just smokescreen and an attempt to drive up the price.
Well correct me if I am wrong but usually when a club rejects a player and categorically and very publically states they don’t want to sell him, it becomes a question of making an offer they can’t refuse a la Chelsea, man city style or what Liverpool did with Carroll …. Basically throw ridiculous money at it
So … Do you think a few million more will budge them? lol I would say more like 15m – 20m more like.
Is still he still worth it?
Is he still the “must have”player that not one of us were remotely aware of before these rumors came out based on YouTube and his reputed price tag
I would say don’t stress about it lads
According to talkshite, Everton and Stoke are keen to take Ireland, with Brighton also interested, so here’s l]Lambert’s master plan as I see it;
1. get a bidding war going for Ireland, settle for £9 mill.
2. but Kiyotake for £8.5 mill.
Sorted!
Ha, nice thought David, but I doubt it mate.
There’s still plenty of time and I’ll wait and see what happens.
Anyone seen the latest with Villa on sports direct news
So now apparently we’re in for Ba on a season long loan as a replacement for Benteke.
Speechless
It’s a fantasy of the media to get Benteke to London which isn’t happening and Ba’s likely to move permanently out of England.
I reckon the deal is Chelsea pay us £15 mill and we get Ba on loan as a “sweetner”. In the London media’s dreams apparently, and we should be grateful.
That’s ludicrous about Ba!! Where do they get these stories from?!!
On another note, I would be shocked if we got any money for Ireland…but then again Hughes is back in the managerial world! Maybe he can take Given too!!
Personally I think that if Tottenham want Benteke, they only have to put an offer in. I mean, what player could resist the allure of playing for the world’s greatest club, in the most dazzling and exciting city on earth?
Well, I reckon that’s how a lot of the meejah see it anyway.
Gweatest team in va wurrrrld, yawah Spurrrrzzzz. So I’ve heard.
Let’s just hope he’s not in the real world, mate. £4 mill for Ireland would be sweet!
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to that story, Sports Direct are hardly reliable.
Like how the site looks well done Guest, this Kiyotake seems to be another Belhanda. I think we have shown interest but clubs have blabbed.
I dont think Lambert is very keen on having anything he is doing being said to the press. Sorry i am sometimes really busy so dont always finish sentences…..
Does anybody actually think there’s anything in these rumours about Ireland to Stoke or Everton?
Personally I reckon that he’s already retired on his pension from us.
I can see him at Stoke. Hughes is attempting to change that team
I would love it if we got anything for him and were lumped with paying him out of his contract like city
the footy is getting closer 🙂 if u don’t feel more optimistic than the start of last season, ur crazy personally i think we are in for a great season of entertainment, not only will we be a match for most teams but we are gonna score loads
if benteke leaves say 2 spurs thats his mistake villa is were its happening and he will miss out, spurs are on the downgrade lmao
Well apparently Suarez is on his way to Chavski for about £35 mill. Now that’s interesting if true. Only yesterday the meejah were linking the blues to Benteke.
If true Davidg, (and I hope not) the window will be taking off nexweek, and a few surprises nodought, let’s hope we can keep Benteke for 1/2 the season just give our new lads guts and thunder for the club.I have that feeling that we are all going to have I’m a Villa fan yearning and proud of it. Let’s get rid of the dead wood we have then happy days are back.
No doubt prat I am, one day soon will lean to spell.
