According to Wikipedia, which can be a reliable source, PSV midfielder Wijanldum is set to join Aston Villa for a price of £8-10 million before the start of the Premier League 2013/14 season. Now there hasn’t been many any other source around the internet, however I’ve noticed that a few people have commented about Wijnaldum. Speaking about Wikipedia, I remember it had published that Sylla had joined Aston Villa days before it actually happened. Could it happen again?
The attacking midfielder is 22 years old and he appears to be Aston Villa’s number 10, that’s right the player that Villa have been missing ever since losing James Milner to Man. City. He is talented, Seedorf said that Wijnaldum is a similar player to myself! He looks like a great player, however I’m not going to get carried away just yet. I think before Wijnaldum joins us, we’ll see at least one player leave Aston Villa.
Wijanldum is a creative player and has good vision, he’ll most likely player behind Benteke and be the main form of creativity. He would be a very good and exciting player.

Sounds just what we need. I really hope he comes. For me that would complete our squad.
You mean the 2013/14 season?
Wikipedia says it’s definitely not happening. After watching YouTube new it wouldn’t happen. Sort of player who could add goals to oit midfield which is really lacking but which is also invaluable.
So it appears as though someone just recently edited the page.
Regardless, it’s interesting and I can see this transfer happening in the next few days
It would be a Lambert type signing, so there’s hope.
This came up a while back on twitter I did post it in one of my articles but thought nothing would come of it.It was in one of my posts so the rumour could be true lets hope cracking player.AVFC said they are after playmaker Benty must be going#UTV
Yeh its in my AVFC speculation and news post back a page was floating around when Marco Capuano CB rumour was about.Could be true hoping…
Well his hair is similar lol
Crocking player this lad looks like, would be real asset. The type of player we’re screaming out for UTV
Defo mate I tell you AVFC are on the up#UTV
keep us updated JD. Where’s this Wiki link mate, I can”t see anything? AV’s/Wijnaldum/PSV’s? UTV
Don’t know about the wiki link but this story was doing the rounds Last week or so check my post.I think it was circulating from Dutch media source at the time but don’t know about the wiki but it could be a right good signing…UTV
Wiki is the LEAST reliable source Adam.. anyone can edit it..
Not entirely true, anything that is edited has to be verified before the change is made.
Fulham have just come back in for Bent.
Hopefully this leads to Villa bringing in a creative midfielder or a CB.
Looking at things as they stand it seems we had a summer budget of 10M plus sales..
Thought it would be more but as long as we can get in a play maker at least going forward we will be a major threat..
Unfortuantely Lionheart, though I would love to see a player coming in if this calibre I cannot see Villa spending 7M+ on an individual before end of transfer window.
Why would we not spend £7m on one player. We did last summer. An attacking midfielder and a CH, job done.
There was certainly ‘something different’ happening at VP yesterday. PL rarely goes to VP during the week as he invariably conducts his business from BH. Whether this means anything or not, we will just have to wait and see.!
It’s the 3rd AM to be linked so far, all have broken down and been very mysterious so far with Belhanda, Kyotake and now Wijnaldum.
With the players that have already come in, they were signed with no media speculation and all very hush hush. I think this is how PL likes to do his business. Based on this I am definitely not getting my hopes up. UTV
Out of the three “linked” players, I think Wijnaldum has the best chance of bedding into the squad the quickest and hit the ground running. Plus with our little Dutch renaissance going on under Lambert, I can only image he would be received with open arms in the dressing room. Anyways, regardless if the links are extremely wishful it is great to see the club linked to players like Kyotake and Wijanldum.
Agreed mate. Nice to be linked these sorts of player and definitely agree on the dutch angle and settling in.
Re: Wiki, I’m pretty sure Kyotake’s page said he played for us for a couple of hours. Not to be trusted.
Be nice if this was true but as someone said above, Wikipedia is the least reliable source!
Cant believe Fulham are still haggling over the price for Bent. FFS he is more than worth 6m…just pay up and we can all move on!!
Looking at things as they stand it seems we had a summer budget of 10M plus sales..

that’s a bit of a leap at this point.
firstly it’s only August 1st – don’t know what will go in an out of villa park yet.
secondly a budget and actual expenditure are two very different things.
we may end up spending 10m and behind the scenes had a budget of 20 or 30m – we just didn’t use it for whatever reason
either way not near info available to establish what are budget is or to be disappointed or excited by it
Why do we need to know the budget? Just enjoy the ride. Lambert has done a pretty good job so far with Benteke, Westwood, Lowton and Sylla from last season. KEA is still to prove himself, but is having a good pre-season so maybe this season. And he seems to have chosen well in Helenius and Luna, and then we will have to see about Tonev and Okore. Trust in Lambert, he’s not going to let you down.
Did the original poster of this article really just claim wiki was a good source?
Anyone, YOU, ME, your mom can go onto wiki and add stuff to any page
Ffs
If anything crops up over the weekend I will be on it like a flash.All I’ve heard today is AVFC playing hard ball over Benty.UTV
