    Dale funnily enough actually lives above my office in Bromley - just rocked up in blacked out landrover discovery 5 mins a go

    I might check the Car Park in the morning see if the Motor's still there

    If it was blacked out, how do you know Stephens was in it ?

    Well I'm guessing to get to his flat, Stephens has to get out of the car ;)

    £2.5m and someone like Quinn in the other way would be superb business.

    It does make you wonder what these top seems see in Stephens that convinces them that a player who is rated nearly lowest (in terms of average performance score and, therefore 'worth') in a Division 1 team by its own fans has demonstrated ability to improve a Premiership side. I know he looks (and probably should perform) like a young Steven Gerrard but, for me and many others on here, that's where the similarity ends. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and he seems a decent human being but I would gladly wish him well and pocket anything remotely close to £2.5m.

    Am I getting mixed up or is Quinn a winger and Stephens a centre mid? Hardly a like for like replacement
  • SSN just gone to there reporter at Villa training ground and he reported Villa still interested in signing Dale Stephens from Charlton.

    It's a new car, he used to drive a BMW (not blacked out) until well May (bonus time) and seen him outside with his golf stuff. Plus he has a personalised plate with his age and initials on it which help :)

    Go and knock, make up a excuse for knocking. If you don't you will have to rename yourself BottleKnocker

    I doubt that Dale has driven to Villa Park himself, which would explain the car still there. Actually, I agree with NLA, best go knock and find out once and for all on behalf of CL.

    I can't buy into this 2.5million fee for him at all

    Good News if Sunderland are chasing him, they will totally over pay. I reckon by days end price will be around 4m.

    If true, it's madness, but history tells us the, being a selling club, will sell.

    Everton and Newscastle also linked with him. Was in the sun this morning
  • Let his tyres down

    Just so I know, is the song for tmrw

    "who needs Chris Solly we've got big Lawrie"

    Or maybe we're all doomed

    Get a grip people there are 90 selling clubs in this league an we are one of them

    I think a lot of the reasons for his low marks in the player ratings is because people seem to have this misconception that he is the type of player who breaks late into the box, and so mark him down for not doing that. He isn't that kind of player. He's closer to Michael Carrick than Steven Gerrard. He keeps things ticking over, receiving and giving the ball, creating space for the killer pass.

    He sometimes loses concentration, he sometimes goes missing, but if he can work on these then he will be a great rather than good player.

    That said, for £2.5m, I'd take it, no question.
