Ronaldinho's on that list. Probably still better than Cleverley...

i think he's DEFINITELY better than Cleverley.

can we sign decent freeagent players..?

Midlands correspondent for the Telegraph:

John Percy ‏@John__Percy 31s

#avfc will not be signing Tom Cleverley from #mufc. Cleverley holding out for a move to Everton. No other business expected at Villa

i'm disappointed....

 

where's the Canales link? 

 

SSN:

 

We have some breaking news for Aston Villa. Mark McAdam reports the club have made a bid for Real Sociedad attacking midfielder Sergio Canales. The 23-year-old only joined Real Sociedad in January from Valencia and has scored twice in his 16 appearances for the club.  

 

oh now i can see it. thanks!

where's the Canales link? 

I've got a "my mates builder saw..." rumour. Going to post it anyway on the absolute off chance it's true: Connor Wickham.

Bent - Wickham swap deal?? yes please...

i don'think he's shit, but we need an attacking midfielder or a wide player. not a central midfielder.

Conor McGrandles joins Norwich...

Worst LB I've seen in my time supporting Villa. Good luck to him though, some of the abuse he got from certain Villa fans was pathetic.

i think he is better than Nicky Shorey..

How many games did Shorey play in the Premier league? Bennett had one game vs Chelski where he looked upto standard other than that he was terrible.

as a PL player, Shorey was far better than Bennett. but as a Villa player, he was just terrible..

5 center backs is too many? i think we need at least 5 centerbacks because Lambert occasionally uses 3-5-2 formation.

We have 27 players in a 25 man squad who would you drop from the squad at this stage?

then we can sign 1 player(over 21) on permanent, 1 player(u-21) on loan.

Still looks like a few more players will have to either leave or go out on loan as we'll have too many, more so if PL is looking to bring 1-2 more players in.

On 27 at the moment. Out of the players in our team with squad numbers I would say Herd and Stevens will lose their place. After that I'm not sure, the likes of Gardner, Baker, Clark, Bent and according to rumour KEA could all be loaned or sold at no real cost to the squad

all guys in this forum hate Clark and Baker, but they can't leave this window because we need 5 centerbacks. Lambert often uses three-back formation and we have no money to buy a new centerback. we need them as backup CBs and i think they are ok as backup CBs.

Pretty happy with this signing. Big improvement on what we have in lb.

last season, he was no better than bennet and luna

I'm travelling at the moment and there's a South Korean guy in my hostel who seems to believe Ki has left Swansea but doesn't know where he's going. Limited English but I'm guessing he's getting info from Korean football sites that might be making it up or might know more from Ki's side?

The way it's fizzled out it looked to me like this was dead but thought I'd share anyways

There is no news about Ki in South Korea. but many people think he will leave Swansea in this window.

Good player and would've been useful in our midfield.

Looks like plan b and an unknown player from the depths of Europe!!!

However, one positive is we allegedly agreed the £6m fee... We have a little cash to play with!

i am surprised that we can pay 6m for one player!

I don't care whether he comes to us or not.

Benteke to newcastle?? what a joke....

I think he would play on the right side of a diamond at villa. Which I wouldn't mind at all

I think he can't play on that position.

I wonder why many people in this forum rating him so highly and excited too much because i think he is a little bit overrated player & he isn't what we need.

of course, if he becomes our player, All Villa games will be broadcasted in Korea. then i'd be happy.

While we are on the topic of Koreans and with a couple of avid Korean fans on the thread.

What ever happened to Lee Cheung-Yong at Bolton? He obviously got injured but looks like he's played plenty of games in the last couple of years. Surprised nobody from the Prem has picked him up, I thought he looked really decent before his injury.

No idea what he has been like the last couple of years but from Wiki it looks like he was scored a few goals and got some assists. Also still making the international team as well.

Possible cheap option for us and a new Korean mafia at villa park

many korean football fans were disappoined about Lee's poor form. yeah he was decent winger, but now he looks just like an average championship player. korean fans think he was ruined by serious injury.

don't be disappointed even if he will not sign with us.

i'm korean and i think he is decent player. but i don't think we need him and hes better than our Westwood.

We need a good defensive midfielder and Ki is not that. he isn't defensive minded player, and hasn't defensive ability.

he always needs very defensive minded, hardworking midfield partner because he isn't defend back four...

You're a Korean Villa fan? Cool

Where have you been all these years?

I've lurked in this forum all these years.

don't be disappointed even if he will not sign with us.
