Hush! Villa Are Bidding
For
England's
Wilshaw
By JACK WOOD
Dennis Wilshaw, Wolves' transfer-listed England inside forward, muy go to Aston Villa. But keep it quiet, for it is all very hush-hush, with Villa manager Eric Houghton knowing nothing about it, and chairman Chris Buckley not in the mood for talking.
The facts are that Villa made a bid for Wilshaw last season, and the other day contacted Wolves again to discuss the possibility of a deal.
Mr Buckley, whose board spent much of last season under fire from the club's supporters, admitted: "We tried to get him last year. But Wolves are asking a lot of money now."
Said Mr Houghton: "I have nothing to say about 1. only O know what I have read in the
