Stoke cast off Wilson Palacios on verge of Villa move?

Wilson
In the words of the late great Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it".
Stoke City spare part Wilson Palacios is on the verge of a move to Premier League rivals Aston Villa, according to reports in Honduras. This despite Villa's recent capture of Carlos Sanchez.
The 30-year-old midfielder had been (unbelievably) linked with a switch to Villa Park before but seemed set to be heading to Qatar earlier this summer.
That deal collapsed amid reports the former Wigan and Spurs man had  failed a medical. 
Stoke chiefs are reported to have been  working with Palacios's agent to see what options are available before the end of the summer transfer window.
Update: Mark Hughes has (hooray) pour cold water on this story:

"I'm not aware of that interest," he said. "He had an opportunity to go to Qatar which would have been good for him but that fell through.

"We like him as a person and a player but sometimes it's right to move on.


"Interest from other Premier League clubs is not something I'm aware of."
