Teamtalk are linking us to a raid of liverpool's kewell and bellamy.Wouldn't mind both of them tbh.Kewell when fit is an assett.He seems to do well for australia when he plays.He could be available cheap too because of his previous injury.Surely Kewell can't be injured for the rest of his career?

Wow from getting linked to McShane to getting linked to Micah Richards.I know which one i'd prefer.Hope you're right avfc89.Now you've got my hopes so high it better be true!

micah richards would be perfect for us.Please sign him MON!would cost us heaps tho.tbh haven't heard much rumours about him so far which is surprising the amount of attention he got earlier in the season.where are we linked to micah richards?

You tube has just answered my question for me. Nasri reminds me of SWP, very fast with good close control. Kompany seem's like a Lucio, big strong defender that comes storming out with the ball when wins it. Have we ever been linked with either one of these players or is it more wishful thinking? extremely wishful thinking.From what i've seen of Nasri(youtube),he seems to love cutting in when dribbling a lot and can play on both wings.If he came,him and young could interchange positions throughout the game like Giggs and Ronaldo do for manure.

Though I'd rather a new winger as well to be honest: -------------------Boruc de Jong - Kompany - Laursen - Bouma Nasri - Sneijder - Barry - Young ---------Huntelaar - Carew Now thats a fantastic team which could be challenging for top 4 slot.Provided noone gets injured for the whole season though.We could probly finish above Le Arse with that team!

If this was FM,i'd swap de Jong for Ratinho and Boruc for Ustari.Seriously though,that team would break the top 6 .I'd be over the moon if that's gonna be our squad for next season.Except i'm not convinced Petrov can play as a DM and if we don't play with an out and out DM,I can imagine Sneijder just shunning his defensive responsibilities.

What makes you say this? There has been nothing more solid on these rumours than any other, has there? well its because we are getting linked with boruc and gordon which proves that we are searching for a new keeper It proves nothing. Links like this prove only one thing, that sports journlists still have to sell newspapers even when there are no matches to comment on. Don't you think some links might have a little truth in them?Not all links are made up although a lot of them are bullshit.So do you think we'll have a new keeper come next season?because i sure do.

i feel the same.I get the impression that he has some targets ready that will "blow us out of the water".

Luis fabiano definitely fits the bill as "top class".This season he has been playing well.Sure he didn't perform for porto,but the league in brasil is different to the european leagues and it takes a while to adjust.The important thing is now he is doing well and is up for grabs if juande ramos leaves.The Premier League is more physical than the primera liga tho but he looked lively last night.

What makes you say this? There has been nothing more solid on these rumours than any other, has there? well its because we are getting linked with boruc and gordon which proves that we are searching for a new keeper and what MON wants he will get.I agree with you that this rumours aren't solid but usually they aren't anyway.

so it looks like we're definitely getting a new keeper and it'll either be boruc or gordon.I guess that'll mean the end for taylor or sorenson.I can't imagine sorenson being willing to sit on the bench so maybe we should let both sorenson and taylor go and bring in wayne henderson in as cover for boruc or gordon.

i wouldn't complain!

tbf we weren't exactly pleased when middlesvilla signed ugo,southgate,and boateng.

Sneijder has himself said that he wants to test himself in spain.Hopefully,MON can change his mind.

No way we're paying 12 mill for bellamy.10mill would be a stretch already.6mill would be fair.I don't see why his value has increased while he was playing for liverpool.he hasn't exactly been prolific or done much good.

http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=41179 It was said that Mon was at a Seville game the other day so i guess he was there to watch Fabiano, i remember when he was making waves in Brazil and scoring an amazing amount of goals, he got his big chance at Porto but it never worked out for him there, then he moved to Seville and he seems to have done well, when i look at his record this season it's actually very impressive, he's played 29 games and has scored 13 goals, 3 goals in 7 matches in the uefa cup and 10 goals in 22 la liga matches He's only 26 and can only improve, from what i've seen he's got nice skills and can finish very well, imo he's one of those players who could easliy come to the premiership and have a Berbatov or Mccarthy impact, the only thing is he's got a bit of a temper on him though so he has been sent off a few times but it's nothing Mon couldn't address imo, i think he'd be an exciting signing and he could play alongside any of our forwards. Problem is tribalfootball tends to make up bullshit.Would love Fabiano at villa and maybe a bid for his teammate dani alves also.

On FM :wink: and the ultimate scouting resource,youtube

Why not go for Vincent Kompany.Excellent centreback.Wouldn't mind Davies but i guess it depends on wba winning the playoff final.

and so he is.he knocked out juan arango with his elbow once.He looks decent now tho but maybe is a little too old.Seitaridis anyone?

Totally agree Lazarus chin - don't forget Javi Naravarro, Poulson, and Jesus Navas. All welcome additions to our squad and would definately take us to that next level watching Sevilla play now and I must say Javi Navarro is quality.Could do a good job as RB for us.

Henok Goitom. Swedish wizzkid that has worked in the shadow from Zlatan, but is a very high skilled attacker/winger. He is not that big so to take him on board covering for Sutton doesnt make sense... Riquelme is quite gettable...he is to return to his club in Spain because Boca Juniors cant afford his salary and therefor not interested in making his loan into a permanent deal. He will change club soon...hope it is Villa. In wikipedia Goitam is listed as 6ft5in.I would think that is pretty big.Looks huge sized on youtube as well.Would love Riquelme but can't see it happening.

we should raid sevilla of some of their best players.apparently Juande Ramos(Sevilla manager) wants to leave and is thinking of becoming the next man city manager.If he leaves i can't see them challenging for the title or doing well at all next season unless they recruit some big name manager.I wouldn't mind dani alves,luis fabiano,kanoute.

According to F365,Norwich want Suttton.If he leaves, we will definitely need another "big" striker which can be Henrok Goitam that we are being linked with.

that's a pity.wouldn't have minded jags at villa.has rated him ever since he was talked about in the championship.If we don't get him,i'm sure we have someone better lined up for the rightback slot.

tbh i don't mind either one of Barton or NRC.barton is talented and at 5 mill would be a bargain.Sure he has emotional baggage and is a bit agro,but i think MON can keep him under control.
