Not a rumour though. But as I said here before, Khalid Al-Baltan (Al-Shabab FC former president) is interested in buying Aston Villa, He might be negotiating too. But I'm not sure how far he have gone with that. The rumour about that was right, He is interested. The story I read said he was just interested in a Premier League team but it didn't say Villa specifically. May I ask how you know he is definitely interested in buying us? Guess work I think

The guys a tool, best to ignore him for now and then batter him with tweets when his lack of credibility is exposed.

What idiot agreed to pay Hutton £40k a week? We go from bad to worse

Can you imagine if they tried to rebrand and replaced our lion with a bull!

If he has still got the Villa tie on (looks like it) this is interesting! The pictures clearly a fake, Faulkner is a short arse, he looks about 6'5" there... Also, I watched it again on tv and he's not anywhere in the background that I can see. Another spoof me thinks

Is Tom Ince comng to Villa??? Mr Falkner talking to the Ince's pic.twitter.com/ceFUk1lHcj Sorry don't know how to post the pic on here

[Hutton must never play for the 1st team again]

And I though last seasons January transfer window was depressing

Isn't this the transfer thread, or have things really got that bad?

It looked to me like Ireland was having a late fitness test during the pre-match warm up, I assumed he failed it

I cringed when I saw them line up, the only experienced Villa players on the pitch were Given and Bent (both were poor), the rest were ex-academy players and the new signings. 1st Half was dreadful and other than Vlaar and KEA, everyone else looked at least a yard slow. N'Zogbia's play was embarrassing and, KEA aside, there was nothing in Midfield to provide any link up to the forward/s. Ciaran Clarke had a dreadful game topped only by being sent off. He was at fault for at least 3 of the goals All round it was a terrible day at the office Randy you need to invest some $$$'s in the team now, before you end up owning the best ground in the Championship

Absolutely not!

I have a terrible feeling that Villa with be stuck with this pathetic excuse of a defender for the full length of his contract which I think runs well into 2014 :( ...Alan Hutton is a complete waste of space and would be better suited to playing in the same team as the likes of Vinnie Jones, Roy Keane and Joey Barton...

You make it sound like he **** off for an extra £1k a week. The boy probably picked up a £2.4m signing on fee and trebled his salary by making the moving. Milner didn't do anything that any of us wouldn't do given the chance in our own places of work, and if you say you wouldn't you're a liar. Yes, I'd have Milner back no problem, he runs himself into the ground and still carries on running...oh, and not forgetting that although we bought him for big money, we also sold him for huge money. Not really sure where you're coming from with this, so am assuming that you just hate him?

JulieB, you've got to be kidding us....

11:44 Reports that Lowton has signed for Villa, can anyone confirm this now?

A mate of mine was staying at the same complex as Hutton in Dubai 3 weeks ago. Hutton was still wearing the protective boot round his ankle so maybe he was in the treatment room rather than out on the turf yesterday? No, he wears that protective boot so that he doesn't have to kick a ball, have to say that he looks more like a footballer when he's got it on...I hope he **** stays in Dubai for good, it's about his level of football.

Quite. Reminds me a little of a certain R Saunders forking out a record fee on a 29 year-old journeyman centre forward named Peter Withe. That raised a few eyebrows at the time. My thoughts exactly...

Don't forget HUTTON!!!!! If he does that - hes pretty much going to have to blow his whole budget on a new defence - or play the kids. I d be tempted to keep at least Dunne Hutton out first please, we play with 10 men when he's in the team anyway, no loss whatsoever.

As do videos the video just about says it all......

Don't forget HUTTON!!!!!

Robbie Keane, extra £500k, Coventry City

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/01/norwich-aston-villa-paul-lambert It's never straightforward with Villa, is it? Randy has allegedly wasted £15m paying off the last 3 managers, so what's the problem with spending £1m to get his No1 choice?

Not wanting to get into an England debate, but that is flawed logic unless you can explain why 'Woy' has taken Jordan Henderson or Stuart Downing over anyone? Downing is still the best english left winger and has international experience which is why he was taken. I dont think there is anything wrong with taking him and Henderson is not in the squad. No, since he swapped his claret n blue shirt for that red rag he's been crap. Not a patch on his last 2 season at Villa...I'm glad its all going so well for him, the glory hunting bastard! £20m!!! Bite Kenny's arm off!!!

We shared the 'Charity' Shield with Spurs we didn't win it, and you seem to have overlooked Villa won the European Super Cup and the Intertoto Cup...Do your homework on Villa's history before you make a bold statement, it saves embarrassment.
