Villa close in on first summer signing?

According to reports we are closing in on a deal for Sporting Braga defender Evaldo after his agent was recently seen in England.

Now they are touting the Brazilian defender as a possible replacement for Luke Young who’s future looks virtually anywhere but Villa but after checking out his Wikipedia player it states he’s a left back.

He has had two decent season’s in Portugal and has been linked with many clubs but as you can tell I don’t know much about the player, so I can’t really comment.

Carlton Cole

The Carlton Cole rumour has resurfaced once again as apparently we will do battle with Spurs and Bayern Munich for his signature.

I wouldn’t lose much sleep if we lost out in the battle for him or if there was no truth in this story what so ever. He’s never really impressed me and at the moment he just looks like a decent player in a very poor West Ham side.

Reminds me of when Juan Pablo Angel was linked with a £20million move to Liverpool because he had one decent season at Villa – mainly press talk.

2010/11 Fixtures

This is just a head’s up really, the new Premier League fixtures are out on Thursday and with the World Cup taking centre stage at the moment you probably won’t hear much about them but they are still a priority for me and the future of our club so be sure to check back here for who will be first up at Villa Park and when we will meet the smelly neighbours.
