Zak Van Burger 0 Posted June 27, 2012 I have a friend who owns an estate agency in Birmingham and she has confirmed that Wesley has not been in touch seeking a des res in the west mids so at least we now know that he won''t be following, Lambert, Holt, Ruddy, Naughton Karsa, Culverhouse and that foreign bloke I''d never heard of ''til today to Aston Villa.

Ruddygore 0 Posted June 27, 2012 I''d just like to state for the record that we live in the same small Italian hill top town as Grant''s aunt and we haven''t even asked her if she knows what is going on with Grant''s situation. I''d like to think that is what''s known as integrity but honestly if she even knew she wouldn''t be indiscreet about it. There you go, it''s out there now and it''s off my chest.

priceyrice 123 Posted June 27, 2012 So 3 pages in and i don''t think anyone has actually discussed if they would mind losing Wes.He''s 31 now and his price is only going to go depreciate come September, i think the club would be wise to off load him now for a couple of Mill if they can. He is a quality player and can be a game changer, unfortunately we don''t see it enough and in all honesty i doubt he''s going to start too many games next season- mainly because Hughton likes playing wingers and he''s not enough of a goal threat to play just behind the striker, IMHO.I appreciate what Wes has done for the club, he has been around the club for a while so it would be sad to say bye, but i think we could get a fair price for him this summer and hopefully use that to fund another signing, someone like Snoodgrass or perhaps this Burke player from Birmingham.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted June 27, 2012 Well, time will tell as they say, but just to clarify barclay you are saying - 1. An offer has been made for Grant Holt by another club that is so good, West Ham (who splash money like confetti) have been scared off. If that''s the case, then we must be talking at least £7m! 2. Grant Holt has put his house up for sale. If we link those two pieces of information as was obviously done by your source, then we can rightly or wrongly assume that this massive offer has been accepted by the club. The problem with this is that Hughton has reiterated very recently that he hasn''t yet spoken face to face with Holt, but that he will do soon, with the aim of hopefully resolving the matter. If the club has accepted an offer for Holt, then Hughton''s comments are either a smokescreen by the club, or the club is undermining their new manager. 3. Wes has pulled out of a deal to buy a house. Is this all you were told or were you also told the reason why he pulled out of the deal? If Wes pulled out of the deal because he is off, it will be interesting to see when this all happened, seeing as Hughton has been on holiday and the players still aren''t back from pre-season. I don''t think Villa would be interested in signing Wes and I can''t see there being a queue of Prem clubs lining up to sign him and I also can''t see him dropping down to the Championship. He wouldn''t be sold for peanuts so someone would have to be prepared to stump up several millions for the 30 year old. IF there were anything in this, the only club that I would think would be a remote possibility would be Celtic. But do they have that kind of money unless it was part of a swap deal? But yet again we come back to the point, that if this was true, then Hughton, without having even met with the players personally, would be in agreement to sell such players. Unless we believe that Hughton is little more than the Yes Man Puppet that some on here proclaim?[:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really dont have any interest in that .Barclay 48, you are not the first, and doubtless will not be the last ,to bleat about there being an "in crowd" on this or other forums . Of course, by definition , if there is an " in crowd", everyone else must therefore be the "out crowd". You will not be surprised to learn that I do not for one minute believe that these divisions even exist on this forum. In the main, though there are people who post most regularly, it''s pretty free of the clique mentality.It is true that many people become exasperated with attention-seeking posters who put half-baked unsubstantiated rumours in the public domain, and often , as you''ve done, mistake that exasperation for the existance of the said "in crowd". But let us just imagine for a moment that these "crowds" do exist, I''d suggest to you that a sure-fire way of getting yourself in the "out crowd", and incurring the wrath of the "in crowd" is to post in a vague, smoke and mirrors way , using this method to try and dress up some dubious rumour you''ve heard down the pub or over the phone as the gospel truth. ? As for the question re Hoolahan, I think I''ll wait until I hear something a bit more reliable than Barclay 48''s story before I give it consideration.

CambridgeCanary 0 Posted June 27, 2012 What also irritates me about the OP beside his obscure language and "I''ve got a secret" stance is that despite apparently being a City fan, he cannot even spell the name of our longets serving player correctly.

Jacko 0 Posted June 29, 2012 I think people need to actually take a step back here and use some common sense here. Put yourselves in the shoes of a club buying him. In order for the transfer to be worthwhile you would essentially need to build your entire side around him. He cannot play as an orthdox central midfielder and he is not a left winger. He has to play either at the tip of a diamond formation or supporting a lone front man. There is no doubt Wes is a fine footballer and one of the most technically gifted players we have. But can a club higher up the food chain than us seriously justify building their entire team around him. As good as he is I dont think you can justify it. I don''t think he weighs in with quite enough assists or goals. On that basis how can a club offer a big transfer fee and wages for him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted June 29, 2012 Funny thing for me is that I believe both Wes and Holt won''t be a big part of this season, hang on I will phrase that slightly different, shouldn''t be a big part of the season! Both should end up being squad players. I hope that Hughton get''s enough funds and buys another better striker (young and hungry with potential) we have lost Wilbraham and it looks like Martin is ging too so we are short in the attacke department. As for the midfield, well how can you overlook as starting 4 from Pilkington, Howson, Fox, Surman, Bennett, Johnson and again I would hope that Hughton is targetting this area too. Unlike some fans on here I can see Hoolahan being sold, it woudn''t bother me too much as I believe Howson will be played with a holding midfielder and we will have width as that''s pretty much how Hughton sets his teams out when you look at Newcastle and Brum.
