This one looks like he could be a cracker for us, along with Lansbury
www.birminghammail.co.uk say that Villa are confident of landing Barnsley midfielder Conor Hourihane.
Look at his stats:
@patmurphybbc Hourihane 25 y.o (Career) – 274 apps, 46 goals, 53 assists, 50 yellows, 3 reds, 23 803 mins = involved in a goal every 240 min

The Mail quote Bruce: “We are waiting to hear back from Barnsley today and we hope we can announce something with that today.”
As we reported in our last transfer round up The Sun claim that Barnsley midfielder Conor Hourihane has his ‘heart set` on a move to Aston Villa. As we`ve discussed before the 25-year-old is a free agent come the summer so much like the report we looked at with Lansbury, he`s willing to sit it out and move in the summer on a free if he needs to.
A new central midfield partnership who not only supply but also score. This could transform us.
Lansbury deal done for £2.75m. Will train with @AVFCOfficial this morning & may be in tomorrow’s squad. Villa will bid £1m for Hourihane.

www.expressandstar.com have a quote from Steve Bruce that suggests the quest to sign Jordan Rhodes is over. “I think that one has run it`s course.”
I find it a bit strange, easier for me to type this without the full picture than it is for the guys at the top to do these deals I realise, that if they wanted Rudy and we wanted Rhodes, why didn`t we play hardball? Or were we so desperate (not a criticism) to get shot of Rudy from our wage bill that they didn`t want to blow that exit?
