    VILLA ON THE HUNT

    According to the Telegraph, Aston Villa have made a £3.5million bid for Swindon Town duo Massimo Luongo and Ben Gladwin.

    Both midfielder are 22-years-old and Villa's bid has already been matched by recently relegated Queens Park Rangers, but Swindonwould prefer £4million for the pair.

    Tim Sherwood and Chris Ramsey both know Australian Luongo from his time working with them at the Tottenham Hotspur Academy.

    Just pick this up on sky sports feed. Luongo was one of the stars in Asia cup this year, haven't heard of the other guy

    The sort of signings we should be making. About five years too late but it's a start.

    We should start a book on how many Spurs/ Spurs academy linked players we end up with. I'm going for 5, including the inevitable loans. No problem if they are good.

    Good, hungry players but not sure if we need them both? Ben Gladwin is another player Swindon have plucked from non-league and has had a really good season this year. I'd happily take them both, but they need to be playing if we're going to splash out £4m for the pair.

    Luongo could be the energetic box to box player we sorely need. At 22 years of age, represents some potential re-sale value as well.

    Must be a player Ramsey knows well from his time at Spurs. Sign him up.

    Also Diana Dors [born Diana Fluck] 1931-1984, the Swindon girl who made it big before the days of botox and boob jobs.

    Does the club have much of a transfer budget? Surely it can't be wise to spend millions of pounds before getting clarity on the FFP penalty.
