Bloxwich Owl Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Aston Villa are closing in on Conor Hourihane of Barnsley, with the midfielder set for a medical. As supporters await the imminent arrival of Nottingham Forest captain Henri Lansbury for around £3m, Tykes captain Hourihane is set to do likewise after a £1m bid was accepted, according to the Daily Mail. Hourihane poised for a medical ahead of a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzieowl Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 After Winnall uproar maybe they thrown summat to media to spread that adamant won't talk to us just to save face. Drag it out a bit n then blame agents n player power when he signs for us. that way they look like tried play tough. Or he could just sign for villa... if really true true they won't sell to us specially after just sold us a player then that's pathetic and dingles will be Scum in future to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 He'll sign where he wants. Barnsley can't map his career for him. If he goes to Villa, that'll be his choice. Barnsley are in a weak position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 If they've had a £1m bid accepted then i just don't believe we've even made a bid. Football clubs are a business and they will accept the higher offer, simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Pat MurphyVerified account@patmurphybbc Understand Hourihane wants to come to Villa but club still negotiating with Barnsley. Villa hoping for a breakthrough later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hourihane has already worked with Brucie at Sunderland, so perhaps that's a factor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Let's face it, Villa is an attractive move for players in the Championship. The only way this can change now is if the player is that set on a move to us that he says he will see out his contract. Unfortunately it sounds as if he's keen on the move. All over I'm afraid.

Imagine if we sold our best players (like FF and Hutch) to L**ds and ruined our chances of the play offs. I doubt our supporters would be very accepting. That's something the pigs would do, not us.
