There is a rumour doing the rounds that Aston Villa are about to make a signing. Want me to tell you who?
I will tell you, but I´m going to milk it for a few seconds. First I want to tell you that you can put this one down to Facebook and mathematics. I also shouldn´t forget AVillaFan, who are running with the story.
The player is Kyle Naughton. He currently plays for Sheffield United, is 20 years old and plays at right back or, on occasion, he has played as a right sided winger.
Now, I say he would be the first proper signing but we did bring in an 11 year old yesterday or the day before, but this lad plays at a decent level and has promise. Some might actually say real promise and although I can´t admit to seeing much of him, I am very intrigued.
If he is half as good as some have said and he does live up to that promise, it will be a good signing. All that would then be needed is Martin O´Neill to bring in some players of real proven quality, better than we already have and we will be on the right track.
No doubt we will find out tomorrow or the next day as the talk is, it is O´Neill tonight and medical tomorrow, but for now, it remains as speculation, but if it is true, expect his Facebook comments to end, as the club don´t like players communicating without their approval.
But before I go, there is also talk that 19 year old Daniel Sturridge is on the verge of signing too, but again, it is just speculation at this stage and seeing as he is a local lad, he could just have been spotted in town doing a bit of shopping. Don´t shoot me.

... Dont know much about the lad but im just glad to see some activity.I cant shake this feeling i have that we are going to sign some real quality this summer. |

... I have to say this is a top signing. Extremely highly rated by Sheffield United and coveted by a number of Premier League clubs. Recent rumours were that David Moyes had won the chase, but if O'Neill has pipped him that's both very good news and an excellent sign of MON's determination. |

... I would be delighted, I don't think we have had a proper full back in the Villa tradition since Delaney. |

... Heard very good things about this guy so am hoping its true. On another note, I see Olly has gone to Olympiakos. So much for the reunion! |
RayK
said:
 |
... Please, please let this rumour be true - i'm not sure i could cope with another denial  By all accounts this lad is top draw and has already been compared to Ashley Cole (but a RB rather than LB). UTV!! |
Daniel Wilson
said:
 |
... hmmm would be great news, he looks good, i've just checked facebook and there are 2 kyle naughtons from sheffield with the exact same pic, was it the real one of a fake making the comments! My mate plays in goal for Watford and has him as a friend so i'm going to do some digging  |
sean jones
said:
 |
... O yes since the rumour came about a few months back ive wanted to this happen. He's quality and will prove to be a good signing for us now and in the future. Hopefully this will be the start of a few signings. Damian do you know anything about Sturridge and Defour. Ive heard that Sturridge will sign, also the Defour situation seems to be heating up just wondered if you have heard anything. |

... kid is good. got a good right foot, think he may have played on the left in the playoffs (if i remember rightly), blades's left back is just as good too. sign them both |

... KEVIN DOYLE All of the following is factual - I was on the Dublin to BHX Aer Lingus flight am today. Kevin Doyle and his agent were too and the latter was being quizzed by a few passengers - he confirmed that KD was due in Birmingham for talks with AVFC! Better player than big Marls. |
Daniel Wilson
said:
|
... nope nothing yet i'll send him a message but I have a feeling he's gone to america for season end hols! and he's not a close mate so it's not like I could just give him a bell! I'll let you know if I get anything back! |

said:
 |
... I must say i have never seen him play but going on all accounts he is a talented player. And he is a FULL BACK who can play both wings. That's more like it MON. Some more please. |

... I would be very excited if we signed Naughton and/or Sturridge. Both are exciting talents, albeit very young ones. |

Daniel Wilson

... Wouldn't it be nice if MON had a massive july 1st coup planned where he unveils 6 players at once. My mouth is a watering... Naughton, Bentley, Huddlestone, Defour, Owen & Hangeland... |

... what did he say on his facebook page? did he say "in talks with martin O'Neill at the moment" or something like that? |
darren pro
said:
 |
... Just been on facebook and theres 2 of him-but 1 has no friend's and the other has Ashley young-Gabby-David Bentley ETC. |
RayK
said:
|
... okay i know this may mean nothing but only one of two Kyle Naughton profiles with this picture that Dan mentioned has any friends and the one that does has loads of footballers (Gabby, Alfonso Alves, Billy Davies) AND includes some of the people you can see in the image of the Facebook thread on the AVillaFan site. I'm not sure if any of that made sense but basically I don't think this is a spoof. |
Daniel Wilson
said:
|
... Darren Pro, thats the real ashley young, he's mates with the guy I know too (ex watford) so its def his real profile then, we can confirm that. Also says its not Birmingham City he's chatting too, surely he couldn't be on about Wolves/Stoke could he?! Looks like it's the real deal... |

said:

... acorns will be on the shirt but not on the front,during the chat he said a lot of the players are glad to see the back of GB after the fiasco last time when he wanted to go to liverpool. |
Daniel Wilson
said:
|
... Oh thats interesting, I assumed acorns would be on the front again, well if thats true maybe the July 1st announcement will happen. In which case maybe we wont hear about naughton till then either!!  |

RayK
said:
|
... Damian - is the basis of the Sturridge rumour just that he was seen shopping in Brum? I'm not having a pop but if so then don't think we should get too excited as his family and uncles (Simon and Dean Sturridge) all still live locally i think. if first our signings though are going be Naughton, Sturridge, Bentley and Huddlestone I'd be well happy all considered. Add a quality CB (or two) to that and I do think we're starting to look a bit tasty. |
Big Nose
said:
|
... You're right. I'm sorry. Everyone has a right to 'love' the Villa. But I would respectfully ask this...? Answer why in three answer why this is the case? (open to all posters) Brian Little is what we love? Paul Mcrath played in what position? Dalian Akinston scored a great goal in London, when, why and what? |
ak_27
said:
|
... RayK just looking at the 4 you have listed there it would be a good move to more technical players which is something we need to do. Naughton 5m Huddlestone swap for NRC Bently 7m Sturridge free. That would total 12m so that is Barry's money spent and i would be very hapy with that. To start with at least. Bring Hangeland, Defour Distin and i would be really happy. |

tonydunn
said:
 |
... RayK, if your predictions are correct, my dreams are coming true, except for Huddlestone that is. Add Hart (don't think this will happen though) or Green (a possibility), plus Hangeland, Warnock/Drenthe and Defour and this would be a great window. And if everything is this rosey I suppose we might as well stick Vagner Love down as well!! |

Jason
said:
 |
... I would love this to be true - I think i'm right in saying Everton failed in a bid, and David Moyes has a good eye for talent, especially defensive talent. Kyle Naughton would be a typical O'neill signing as well. Sturridge would be even better. He went to the same school as me and i know he's a Villa fan (not just a local lad) I will ask some people should who know him if they've heard anything. |
Robbie Wells
said:

... I know a guy who plays for Bristol City, and I know that his mates Facebook rape him any chance they get, just to stir up shit. It's pretty funny stuff usually, and i wouldn't put this out of the reaches of a good facebook raping. However, he's a good little player. I'd take him and Sturridge for a very good start to summer spending. |
ak_27

... Spanishjon it really wouldn't make sense for Sturrige to go Chelsea over Villa as he would only sit on the bench. I know people will say the money will draw him but i just hope we don't go in with a really stupid low wage offer for him. If he is a Villa fan and he wants first team oppertunities then surely we would be his first choice. Here is another question for ye. How come Sturrige ended up at City in the first place and not Villa. Same can be said for Miceh Richards. He is also a Birmingham boy if im not mistaken?? |
Daniel Wilson
said:
|
... Damian please can you ban these crappy ip's there destroying a perfectly good blog... |
RayK
said:
|
... ak_27 - I think Naughton will end up nearer £6m, Sturridge won't be free even though he is out of contract and could still be £5m, Bentley will be more like £9m and Huddlestone £7m (personally i'd keep NRC) so that's £27m, or £15m less Barry's fee. Add £10m-£15m on a quality CB and that's around £30m net spending which is I reckon is about right. I wonder whether MON's move for Naughton has been prompted by Chelsea and Liverpool's chase for Johnson - maybe he was worried whoever missed out on Johnson would turn their attention to Naughton. Let's hope this gets confirmed soon - I would cry if someone pipped us to the post on this one. |

... Olof Mellberg has agreed a three-year deal with Olympiakos http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12961_5389569,00.html We easily could have easily got him back at Villa.... Oh well, does anyone have a quote of actually what it says on facebook? |
Keith
said:
 |
... Excellent if it happens. Mellberg moving to Greece for £2.5m? Why aren't we begging him to come home? |
RayK

... Sturridge was with Villa as a 11 year old kid before heading off to Coventry and then Citeh. Richards was only born in Birmingham but grew up in Leeds so not really a local lad at all really. I can really see Sturridge being the next big thing in English football - he's miles better than Gabby was at his age. Sturridge and Delf could be sensational for Villa over the next 5 years. |
Daniel Wilson

... Villadude, the image rip of the facebook page is here: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2176/naughton.gif and it is the real Kyle Naughton not a fake. |
Jason
said:

... ak_27 - Sturridge was just picked up by City as a young lad. When he was at my school you couldn't tell he was going to be so good. He was about the same age as my brother and mt brother was at least as good if not a better player. He obviously progressed a lot from the age of 15 - don't get me wrong he was a good player at school, but he was just like a lad in every school who is one of the best players. You have to have respect for someone who has clearly put a lot of effort in to improving. I agree he should never go to Chelsea, i really think he has a chance of going to the world cup if he comes to Villa. Capello watches us a lot and he would get a fair bit of football |

said:

... Thanks Dan - reading that, it does look like it is him... Like Anita says - fingers crossed... (2.5m for olly is a bargain) |

... Isn't Naughton away with the under 21's? Would like this to be true but can't see it. |
Jason
said:
|
... Forgot to mention about Micah Richards - I think he was originally from Brum but moved to Leeds when he was younger. If you listen to his accent he doesn't sound like Gabby and Zat. He is an Arsenal fan as well. I would love him at the club now, but i think if Kyle Naughton is coming, Richards might not be. Just a question for you (or anyone) is Kyle Naughton English? I don't know much about the lad - if he is, does anyone know if he's playing in the U21 Championships |
Paul Egan
said:
 |
... The facebook thing just says he's going to talk to a club - it seems quite informal. |
Daniel Wilson
said:
|
... He has played for the u21's in the past but he's not in the squad for the euro finals. Unless he's winding his mates up, he's in Birmingham tonight. |

... Danny Sturridge was at school with my younger brother, don't know what he's up to now but he told him last year he would love to come back to villa one day. |
Jason
said:
|
... I really would like this lad - but if he's not good enough for the U21's and hell cost £6million what about a bid for richards. He's good in the air, which would suit our attacking corners. Also he can play CD. I do like the look of Kyle Naughton and i think Richards might cost us double, but i remember how excited i was when we signed Davis. Who i think is solid, but like he said himself - No Laursen. |
Jason
said:
|
... If MON is willing to spend £6million on a right back when we've got a good one already then money can't be that tight at Villa. I'm going to take this as a sign that O'neill has a good transfer budget (maybe not £50million like last year) but a least £25-30million + £12mil for the Barry sale. if we have near £35-40mil then that should mean real quality |

... Spanishjon i just think for a player who can both rb and lb then £6m is a decent price. I just don't ever ever ever want endure a CM playing at in the full back position. |

... where else would it be put ... on the collar? (a joke for people with no sense of humour) |
Jason
said:
|
... I agree about no midfielders playing RB - remember the Liverpool game, Roe Coker was resposible for 4 of 5 goals. By anyones standards thats a terrible performnce. Not that its his fault - our RB was playing LB and Shorey was considered not good enough. Did anyone else find the whole Shorey thing a bit wierd. Sidwell and Petrov (when he first came) and Gabby this year never got dropped, even if they play badly, but Shorey was straight out of the team after a bad game or two. I cant say i've ever seen that ruthless streak in O'neill before. Hopefully he can use that side in the transfer market this summer, it would make him an almost perfect manager. |
paul
said:
 |
... i think you got this wrong, MON offered a price for a full back and he got a reply saying add a naught on |
sean jones
said:
|
... Hopefully we will see Naughton as a Villa player 2moro or On Monday. Then bring on Sturridge and Defour. UTV |
RayK
said:
|
... £6m on Naughton (which is probably only £5m with £1m based on appearances) would be good value for money if Johnson is going for £18m and Richards likely to be £12m. Remember the lad is coming in as cover at RB initially and not replacing Luke Young. That said i can see him challenging Shorey at LB or holding down the RB position with L Young at LB. On the Mellberg transfer, what is interesting is that a few weeks ago MON came out quickly to say that we weren't interested in Mellberg - just as he denied the Owen rumour last week so maybe that denial does indeed rule out Owen. |
Jason
said:
|
... Just a quick note on Defour - I think he's average. I don't know who decided that he was good and based on what but he's not strong on the ball or a great tackler, he's not quick - he's ok at passing but isn't that just Petrov! His best bits are on the link below - but just remember Alves of Middlesborough scored 7 goals in one game in the Dutch league and defour plays in an even weaker league! I hope to god we don't waste £12million on him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZE2UUedbuA If you watch the clips of Drenthe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qmBR7qBReY I think you would have to say he seems a better player who would be a third of the price. Also if you search for clips of Bentley or Ash, they show lots of great play by both - actually in the premiership, not a crap league. All i'm saying is, do we actually know of anyone who predicted that this lad will set the premiership alite, or have people actally looked at this clip and thought he was good. |

... What has gone wrong with all the people that comment on this site recently????? I have been keeping an eye on this blog for quite a while now, but since the season has finished all i see is everyone trying to have a go, and cause an argument. Come lads chill, dont try and argue the fact that you know more about the villa than the next person, we all support villa, we are all one!!! if you wanna argue with people, argue with people that dont support the villa but insist on placing a comment on this site, they're losers and need to be told. Anyway rant over, Naughton for a squad player ok choice, Owen for a squad player, ok choice, cambell or distain, for a squad player, ok choice, Bentley occasional appearance, ok choice, O'neill to sort his attitude definatley, but we really need some penetration in the team, that cutting pass and final ball. Anyway thats my view, now back to the JD |

... wat a load of shit! naughton is not joining the villa. i am very close to the legal team at avfc, he said that owen and bentley are sealed deals virtually. defour is in the uk,landed in brum tonight with belgian airline, this is also a nearly done deal. |

said:

... Naughton is a class act, my brother is an Ipswich fan and I saw him last season a couple of times and he always looked dangerous. Would probably make a decent winger too if needed. one for the future initially I think, but sign him up! I was gutted when i heard Everton had made a bid and we should all take this as really good news. Another one of the hottest English youngsters on his way to Villa. Here is some info for you guys if you haven't heard much about him: 'Naughton is a product of Sheffield United's centre of excellence and academy, having been there since the age of seven. He attended an England U15s training camp during the 2004/05 season, and over the years has become a regular in the Academy and reserve teams. He captained his club's academy side to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup in the 2006–07 season'. 'Naughton then went on to make his first start for The Blades in their 2-1 victory over Watford on 27 September 2008, gaining the man of the match award. From that point he cemented his place in the starting eleven and was virtually ever present for the rest of the season. He became first choice at right back in the process but also made a couple of appearances in midfield and finished the season playing at left back to cover for the injured Gary Naysmith. His successful season was rewarded when he was voted Young Player of the Year by the United supporters club and was runner up to Matt Kilgallan in the senior Player of the Year award. He went on to add another award when he was included in the PFA Championship Team of the Year'. 'In November 2008, after only eleven league appearances, Naughton was called up to the England U21 team for the friendly against the Czech Republic U21 at Bramall Lane. He duly made his England debut, coming on as a 60th minute substitute in a 2-0 victory'. Seemed to miss out on the U21's because of the presence of Taylor, Richards, Cranie and Gardner who with the exception of Cranie can all play there as well as being pretty integral elsewhere on the park, so it must have been a tough call for Pearce. Did anyone realise we had a 2m bid rejected about two weeks ago? Well we did, according to the Skysports news infobar. Once again we are being linked with quality young players, long may it continue. I now think we need a midfielder, a creative winger/CM with a good eye for a pass (Bentley or Hud would be fine. A striker or forward e.g Sturridge or someone like Tuncay and a CB, I'd like Wheater, but that's just me. 4 players in two dwcwnt players covering every position on the field and anything else is a bonus. Don't forget the young lads either, I think we'll be seeing a lot more of them this season. Kind Regards JPA |

If we do get Kyle Naughton then at least we have signed somebody and look to be at last realising that the Transfer window is open. Kyle does seem a very good player but that should be the tip of the iceberg ! We need world class players at the Villa now because we will be struggling next season without them. |

I think this story is fake - if you look at the 2 kyle naughtons on facebook, the one has 1 friend david cotterill a winger who also plays for sheffutd - he has one friend 'kyle naughton'. Anyhow the other kyle naughton has blatently just copied his photo and is posing as him (dont understand why) - he even has Barry out of eastenders as one of his friends. Trust me as much as i hope this is true - it aint happening!! |

'mon has lost it' mid table at best' etc etc etc. all the people who saqid all these things all seemded to change their minds when we beat arsenal and were 4th. But here you all are again. the two faced, hypocrital dick heads who think they can manage a club better than mon and run it better the lerner. it is just so boring hearing the same bull shit as last year. especially when we did so well last season. guys, and you know who you are, judge by results and progress not by warped opinions, paper talk and little boys who have heard a rumour off their best mates sisters hair dressers. |

... My sources inside Villa Park have confirmed that Pablo Aimar and Javier Saviola are having medicals at Villa Park reuniting 2 of the so called magic 4 from River Plate's arecent all conquering team. As a condition of their signing a 3rd member of the dream team is joining the coaching staff. I can't confirm his name but he is returning to Villa Park and has the initals JPA. In other news a small stadium in Small Heath is being closed down by Environmental Services as it doesn't comply with restrictions around "not stinking real bad" More news you can take to the Bank tomorrow |
