Point proven then, fans are happy :)

A striker should always take it to get the rates up

As some might think on here, Baros wasn't exactly our first choice when it came to buying a striker. Beattie was our first, then came Bellamy and now we finally got Baros. The three B's. I go for Baros, Beattie was too similar to Angel and Bellamy isn't any better than Baros

It's name is Doug Ellis Stand, so why bother ????????????

Fat Ron got fired Brian Little was the man who revolutionized us a bit after having some terrible years John Gregory got fired Graham Taylor was a terrible, terrible manager in his second period and DOL is closer to doom rather than glory as things look now (not his fault). So I'd say the boss is Doug "Fatass" Ellis

Think one or two options are missing. I wouldn't think we were finished, even if we didn't get Baros. Still think a central defender is on his way

Also, a very poor field of players... sadly....

Also a very poor field really....

I think he gets scared of the negativity going around at Villa Park, and decides to stay at Anfield and fight for his place. When he is 32-33 years old, he'll probably sign up.

Our left backs have all been pretty shitty... awful really.

He is a bluenose and a journey-man, perfect in a system last season, and I dear remind you that they relegated because of it. He is better than Vassell most likely, but I don't think he is much better at Vass would also score 14-19 Premiership goals for them, taking all them penalties.

David O'Leary this evening explained why he gave the green light for Darius Vassell to have talks with Manchester City, reflecting: "I think he's gone stale at Villa." The England striker flew back to the UK yesterday for talks and a medical at the City of Manchester Stadium and is expected to complete a move shortly. Vassell's likely departure will come as a surprise to some, but O'Leary believes the fresh challenge is exactly what the striker needs as he bids to force his way back into the Egland set-up. The Villa boss reflected: "I think people saying the same things about Darius for so many years. He's got set in his ways a little bit and his car probably knows the way to the training ground on its own! I have to say he's a lovely boy and I felt he needed a new challenge. "The bottom line is we were looking for more goals from Vass. His record speaks for itself. He's not exactly been prolific for us and that's where he'll be looking to improve at Manchester City. I'm sure he'll look to get back into the England team with this move. "We wish him well if it happens. He's been a lovely boy to deal with here and we never had any problems with him whatsoever." Vassell made his debut against Middlesbrough in August 1998 - five months after signing his first professional contract. Soon afterwards he scored two goals against Stromsgodset in the UEFA Cup that set him on his way. The England striker has made 106 league starts for Villa with an extra 54 appearances from the bench, scoring 35 league goals. He has also started 17 cup matches, with 22 substitutes' appearances - scoring 10 times to complete a Villa record of 45 goals in 199 games. Last season, a broken ankle sustained in October meant he made just 17 league and cup starts. He scored just three goals against Southampton, QPR and West Brom. Here you go, shut the thread then.

Much of our heart and soul lies in his feet, I think. If we sell him and continue buying the Bergers and Phillips's.... then we become Birmingham. A squad filled with journey-men. He burns for Villa, and always will I think. He is fast and has enormous potential he has to exploit soon

Back-up for Sørensen. I know how the story goes. In two weeks he will say that he is challenging for the #1 spot, and in a year he's pissed of and wants to leave. On top of that, we got a snutty Arsenal-player

I see him finishing over Angel and Vassell everyday
