His recent form his Villa and the random Croatians hasn't been very promising though.
Grey Fox on SC:
Been told one incoming immenient and second not too far off. Yes I know I said 2 by the 8th, but can't help the fact Villa is a dingdong!. Also should see at least two outgoing by the end of the week.
As an aside I haven't been told anything about Benny going and the suggestion is either Naughton or Rose will be departing.

What makes you think Chadli? Benteke seems nailed on though.
I reckon Naughton might be off (possibly even to Villa) and we'll promote Smith. Smith at RB sounds more ready for promotion than Fryers at LB anyway.
What makes you think Chadli? Benteke seems nailed on though.
Because the moves fell through? I don't think he ever said they were done, correct me if I'm wrong(I know you're desperate for him to be wrong re. Benteke).
the 2 i imagine are Chadli and Benteke?
I'm quite against Chadli, particularly if we do get Benteke. Our front 6 then would all be enormous, powerful, quick players, with not a through ball between them. As above - we'd be superb on the road, but impotent at home or against teams who defend deep.
We need someone like Bernard, not Chadli.
all the talk about us being close etc. i dont think we've really been linked with anyone else so solidly as much as Benteke and Chadli over the past week and half so i imagine it is them unless it's Benteke and someone out of the blue.
Bernard said weeks ago that he wouldn't move till the end of the Copa Libertadores (which is quite soon). Same agent as Paulinho too.
I certainly don't think Chadli is that guy who will cut teams open with a splitting pass but if he's only £7m and we can afford it as well as being able to afford someone creative than I am all for the deal, it's great depth.
We still miss that creative guy though.
That sounds like a Pienaar or Dempsey signing though. You shouldn't need to try and reason transfers. You should be 'fudge yeah' about them.

he's a good player. He's dare I say it an upgrade on Lennon.
