Spurs Midfielder A Villa Target

According to The Times, Aston Villa have made a move for Tottenham midfielder Teemu Tainio.

The report claims Villa are already in talks with the Finnish attacking midfielder after the two clubs apparently agreed fees.

I find this one hard to believe, if they’d agreed fees the club would have announced it like they have over the Ashley Young transfer deal.

I briefly asked White Hart from Vital Spurs.

He said: ‘He is fantastic, everything Aston Villa could wish for and more. I would recommend you buy him now, in fact if you like I’ll pay his taxi fare for you or drive him up myself if that helps’.

Right, thanks for that, I think……..

Tainio has started just 9 games for Spurs this season plus came off the bench once. He has 1 Premiership goal.
