Aston Villa Transfer Talk

So yesterday we had links to Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller on a Bosman free transfer....which led - if to nothing else - to a decent Monty Python sketch! Not many sites give you transfer gossip AND Monty Python do they?! Link: Click Here

There was also link front paged by Fieldy..... According to a rumour on Sky Sports News Gerard Houllier has joined the race for highly rated Basel midfielder Valentin Stocker. Link: Click Here

We were linked the other day to former Celtic winger and current Spartak Moscow player Aiden McGeady but according to a report by Daniel McDonnell in the Irish Independent Moscow aren`t willing to sell the 24-year-old and reports that he is suffering a 'Russian nightmare` seem wide of the mark.

Spartak sporting director Dmitri Popov said: 'McGeady is certainly not for sale. It is not true that he is unsettled in Moscow. No one has approached us from Villa yet but, if they do, our answer will definitely be a no.' Full report: Irish Independent

The Daily Mail Say Villa are in the driving seat to sign Spurs striker Robbie Keane but also claim that Stoke, Wolves and West Ham also want him. Blackburn were said to be interested also when Big Sam was there manager, but as most of you will know by now, Allardyce was sacked by their new Indian owners yesterday. Great, another board with no respect for British football!
