Who Is The Mystery Bosman

Mat Kendrick suggesting today that we are close to announcing the signing of a Bosman/Free Transfer. Gregg Wylde is the obvious name and rumours are that he has been spotted at Bodymoor Heath so it looks like Mcleish is on the verge of another signing.

Lets hope this one is a bit better than the previous ones!

EDIT

It appears it is NOT Gregg Wylde after all! Mcleish keeping his cards close to his chest, but my money is on Ivica Olic.

SPECULATION - Pogrebnyak

On the day of the Fulham game Mcleish has come out snd stated that he has been looking at their in form striker Pavel Pogrebnyak for the past few years.

There is no doubt that if we could get him on a free in the summer it would be fantastic but I cant see him joining us above Fulham. Surely Fulham will be in for him in the summer so why would he join us ahead of them? I just cant see it happening, but at least we are looking at quality!

SPECULATION - Lukimya-Mulongoti

Another link to a defender, it seems the press have picked up on the fact we need to strengthen in that area. This time we have been linked with Dusseldorf's Lukimya-Mulongoti who i s a Congo international with ambitions of playing in the EPL.

He has welcomed the link with AVFC but as I know very little about him it is hard for me to judge him. Lets hope he's another Chris Samba!

SPECULATION - Wylde

Obvious link today from the Daily Mail saying we are the front runners to sign Greg Wylde who left Rangers this week.  I hope it's not true and just lazy journalism but somehow i can just see this being true!

SPECULATION - Rasmus Elm

It seems as though the summer transfer speculation has begun, an exciting time for us all!  Unfortunately I feel this year is going to be a pretty depressing summer due to the position we are in although this link is a good one.

It seems as though our scout in Holland has picked out Rasmus Elm from AZ Alkmaar.  He is a Swedish midfielder, and as we all know midfield is an area that definately needs strengthening.  He turned down Rubin Kazan in January because he didn't want to move to Russia so perhaps we have a chance with this one!

SPECULATION - Guzan On His Way?

After being linked to Joe Lewis from Peterborough over the weekend it put a question mark over the future of Brad Guzan.  It's been well publicised that he has yet to agree to a new contract at Villa and at this stage in his career he needs to be playing first team football.

This has sparked a rumour linking him with a move to Ipswich.  Now there are 2 reasons why I really don't want this to happen.  The first is that I really rate him and was very impressed with him over the winter when he stood in for Given and he would be a bad loss.  The second is that if he is going to move, then surely it should be to another Premier League team.  He is definately Prem quality and I feel he would be wasted in the Fizzy Pop league.
