10mill for NRC?they must be havin a laff.I welcome the lahm link though.

what a cheat!he really is messidona.For those saying it would be easier to head it in,watch the video again.The cross is deflected off a defender so it kinda took messi by surprise.The audacity he had to celebrate it later on,disgraceful.....like maradonna.Saying that,I wouldn't mind him at villa though.

We offer 23mill to hamburg for kompany,de jong, and van der vaart.They are well worth it and would improve our team vastly.

No thanks to Smith.If we sign either sneijder,de jong,or swp our midfield will be kinda short.That would surely dent our aerial threat?However most good wingers are short because of their lower centre of gravity and quick turn of foot.

Bloody spuds always linked to the same players as us.When you think about it they do have an advantage over us in sneijder's case because jol is his countrymen.It's just so frustrating.Nevermind, there's still samir nasri.Talking about wonderkids what about the brazilian kerlon?He's unstoppable with his seal dribble and he has good finishing as well.

looks like we have to wait until the u21 tournament ends to sign NRC.I predict a signing next week.....

Just saw that Luca Toni went to Bayern Munich for GBP 7.5m. I just don't get it -players not even half as good as him are being linked to us for higher prices. Where is the logic? Do English clubs just get held for ransom?

yes.the world knows about the massive tv money.

Rumours

MON is looking to bring in Shaun Wright from Chelsea, Gerald Cid from Bordeaux & Fred from Lyon.

Press conference for tomorrow afternoon:

Villa sign Wright Cid Fred. :shock:

At least the half time entertainment would be sorted. :roll:

Gerald cid's going to bolton.

I can't believe people would be "disapointed" if mon signed Nakamura, i mean ffs the man is a class player who beat Manure with a single piece of magic on his own, for me he could be Berger's replacement!!, the man is creative and as has been mentioined his free kicks are deadly, in order to move forward we need all sorts of weapons in our side, a free kick expert is a must imo and i'd be happy enough if we got him.

Totally agree.He has a very beckhamesque way of taking a free kick and he's capable of beating his man and putting a cross in from the wing.

You aren't seriously talking about signing a player because he is decent at free kicks are you?

He is a very mediocre player

Nakamura's a mediocre player?You're seriously having a laugh mate.Sure he's good at freekicks but he can dribble and whip sweet balls into the box as well.Isn't that what wingers are supposed to be good at?People saying that he is lightweight,well isn't young lightweight as well?And the scottish league is a pretty physical league.A mediocre player doesn't win SPFA ,Scottish football writers' association,Celtic player's,Celtic fan's player of the year award.

If we were gonna be linked from anyone from celtic i would like it to be nakamura,wouldn't you?I think he is one of celtic's best players and he takes a good free kick and crosses are pretty accurate.Would also bring in extra revenue from shirt sales in japan.He can play both right and left wing so can exchange sides with young during games.I think celtic fans hate villa now we're always linked to their players.

On the 606 boards, someone has said that O'Neill has set up a Buiding society account yesterday

Thats the best one yet

Better than the guy claiming to be playing Xbox Live with Cahill's mate who said that Bellend was coming?No way.

call me gullible and naive but i'm beginning to believe that the guy working for the football agency might be telling the truth.His posts are very convincing.

Rocafella do you know of any Norwegian players that play in France?

I am pretty sure that there are none, certainly none worth mentioning

anyone wanna contact him and ask?

Today in the office your name villa and spurs were popping up every 15mins you are trying to get some one in from France, the agent of the player in France also manges John Carew.

Does this mean we are competing with spuds for the same player or does it mean we and spuds are busy but pursuing different players?

Aston Villa are going to splash the cash within the next month, with the signings of Craig Bellamy, Nigel Reo-Coker, Wesley Sneijder, Urby Emanuelson, Craig Gordon, Darren Bent and Cristian Zaccardo.

Dan Matthews - Rugeley, Staffordshire

Taken from "your view" section on sky sports, wouldn´t be sad if the boy is right

have we even ever been linked with bent in the papers?Would be a very productive summer if we sign everyone there.Would leave us with 5 strikers(providing moore stays) and a big squad with strength in depth.Definitely capable of challenging for the top 6.

10 mill for a keeper is a lot and i feel that that kind of money can be better spent on other outfield positions(Sneijder,Van der vaart,....etc).On Lahm,I think he might be a tad out of reach for us at the moment.He usually plays at LB but is right footed and in the world cup he scored with his right foot.He's good at bringing the ball forward and loves to cut inside when deployed on the left side.I've never seen him play RB but some people have seen him play there and they say he's decent in that position as well.It would be a massive coup if MON gets him and it would make people start to sit up and take notice of the villa.

I think for the last year every time someone mentions SWP I always point out his inability to retain and regain possession on a bad day and instead suggest Milner. 90% of the player with none of the drawbacks of being lightweight or inconsistent, far more of a team player and can switch flanks. Cheaper too....oh and younger....in fact it isnt really an argument imo.

Come home Jimmy!

Would love milner at the club but i can't see big sam letting him go.Milner was their best player last season.

NRC is gonna be a great player for us.Such an improvement from mccann.He has huge potential and under the guidance of MON he will flourish as a player.Now,who's next?

This may be totaly irrelevant, but Rafa Benitez has tried to replace Finnan before......

If they (liverpool) are after Alvez, Finnan is a realistic target IMO.

Really?when and with whom?I hope he tries to replace him again then.Finnan would solve our RB problems for this season at least.

With Aliadiere seemingly on his way to Boro, do you think we can discount the Luke Moore to Boro speculation?

No we can't because boro are losing two strikers in christie and viduka.Aliadiere only fills in one of the striking positions.We don't have to worry i reckon.Moore wouldn't choose to leave villa for boro and mon himself said he isn't trying to force anyone out and that he it would be great to keep the club's promising youngsters.

Its bad enough that this thread is 541 pages long so its hard to get any real info but people having slanging matches make it tiwice as fooking long to read. The last few pages ive read ive learnt nothing.

I totally agree.People wanting to have a go at each other should just pm each other.

On NRC. I maybe putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5, but Sky keep saying we're favorites, and they have interviewed him today.

Im confident he will be signing for us.Newcastle probly arent even interested.If they wanted him then they would've swapped him with parker and newcastle wouldve been given permission to talk to NRC.Newcastle will probly go for nolan or barton.That leaves us with NRC.Haven't watched him often tbh.Just the odd shammers game and in those games he looks quality.

I think it will be liverpool.Especially with Rafa demanding a massive transfer budget.It doesn't matter who spends more,what matters is how the money is spent.Newcastle spent loads before and still suck but now with allardyce they won't waste cash.

Liverpool won't sell Steve Finnan, this is the wildest link yet.

Sure he is 31 years and a bit of a gray player, but he is Mr. Consistent and he will stay there until he retires.

Dream on

If Liverpool sign Dani Alves,Finnan might not want to be sitting on the bench seeing that he's already 31.Then we can swoop for him.If not the there's always Lahm or Richards.
