15 million and 80K a week is hardly a 'gamble'. Austin has done it for one season and for me he lacks pace.
TS with his signings seems to want pace and power in all areas. Benik Afobe from The Dingles fits the bill perfectly and a great age.

Austin has an underlining knee injury. He failed a medical at Hull before going to QPR and £15m is a huge gamble IMO.
Very good player who will score goals but 27 now and on £70k+ a week would be a gamble.

Hey peeps, just to let you know what I have heard. Take it or leave it.
Delph does NOT have a release clause just an agreement he is allowed to talk to clubs in the Champions League. Fee still has to be agreed.
Benteke looks like he is staying. Liverpool will not pay more than 20 million however do not be suprised if other clubs bid.
As for players coming in, I know their is a lot of contact with Spurs and at least two of their players. I believe Kyle Walker is one but the fee may be around 8 million.

If the fee for Walker is 8 million then we should just stump up the cash and buy him. Its false economy constantly buying crap Rb/Lbs and not using them, loaning them out and letting them go for free.

Hi avfcagent, I'll let you in on a little secret. Any player can talk to any club with or without permission, that's just how it is, players get tapped up by other teams all the time.
23 Jun 2015 18:33:52
News I'm hearing today is reference Christian Benteke. A lot of contact from Villa with Benteke and his agent. This could either mean new contract or as I'm led to believe that the player will ask for a move. Favourites would be United in a player plus cash move.
Villa want to keep this quiet but it won't be long before this is made public.

I think your statement is pretty much common knowledge to be honest, and is obvious that it will be one or the other.
We as villa fans are not stupid and realise that something like this is going to happen anyway.
2.) 23 Jun 2015 21:08:48
Its inevitable Benteke will leave sooner or later and I'm not adverse to a player plus cash deal. Rumours of Nani being the player have been circulating for a while and that isn't necessarily a bad deal. We will then have enough money for a decent replacement for where we are right now.

New links today. Jordan Rhodes, Andrew Robertson, Michael Dawson and Glenn Johnson.

I hope we do get a billionaire but we shouldn't get our hopes up

AVFCAgent you called the Borini and Walker rumour 2 days before anyone else, so credit for that.
crokey 1991 I posted the new owners were Howard Hodgson and Ian Taylor backed by China Equity Group (worth 7 billion) ten days ago!
3.) 23 Jun 2015 09:22:29
Just to add the takeover should be completed early July. The only thing I'm not sure of is if the Chinese group are going to be hands on or just sit back as silent investors as I'm not privy to that info.
The rumour I've heard is that when they were approached 6 months ago it was to be only as investors but they've since changed and decided it's more beneficial to grow Aston Villa as a brand in Asia.
4.) 23 Jun 2015 21:16:30
growing Aston Villa as a brand in Asia will take serious money and I'm not sure he current FFP rules will allow that. But that doesn't mean we can't spread the spending over a few seasons rather than in one or two transfer windows. problem is where would we be able to try and maximise the name of the club? China? Premier League Football isn't widely followed so can't see that being much use for us. Liverpool and the usual suspects have got the Hing Kong-Singapore market sewn up, and given that knock off shirts are ten a penny, and good quality, in South-East Asia it begs the question whether 1) This is true and 2) Whether trying to grow us as a brand is going to take more time and money than these (Chinese) owners would possibly care to spend on us.

Evening Villa fans, I work as a football agent, mainly for youth players but it does get me info on a lot of 'rumours'. As a Villa fan Thought I'd pop on here.
The Townsend link is true but the player wants European football, deal will happen if no 'big' clubs bid.
I've also seen links to Borini and Kyle Walker.
Will be on again when I hear more.

Heard a rumour that David Unsworth had left his wife and will join Villa this weekend.

This is also being reported in another newspaper today.
Reports suggest he has agreed a 3 year deal with an optional year.
Exciting news or pure speculation?

Sorry but fickle and nieve come to mind. Last season Villa were the worst team not to get relegated, we offer very little to big players.
And if you were offered more money to do the same job elsewhere with a much higher chance of silverwear, trophies etc. what would you do? Loyalty does not exist in football, money talks.

All we miss is Gabby's pace. Sell him, in 2/3 years he'll be no where near the Prem.

Can we stop all this 'Villa' chat too please?
