I don't even think martin's looking at and considering sneijder.Hope so though.Isn't ribery and sneijder in the same class as carew?

Good strikers score goals.simple as.therefore,defoe is a good striker.his record speaks for itself.

tbh there aren't a lot of good quality rightbacks out there that aren't already at big clubs.

What about signing a random Brazilian that always spices things up. Whats Denilson up to these days, or how about Saviola as a columbian leaves an Argentinian arrives?

How about the brazilian rightback Eduardo Ratinho.He's brilliant in FM 2007.A wonderkid.And while we're at that we should also go for Nicolas Millan from colo colo in chile(another wonderkid from FM 2007) .I don't know why but I have a feeling we are gonna sign ribery.

I've heard credible rumours regarding kaka's possible move to villa...apparently he does not feel milan is competitive enough and would prefer to move to villa park to experience the excitement of an fa cup game.

even if he's in the shirt on the pitch,i wouldn't believe you!

tbh we kind of knew he was interested in young and maloney before he bought them although carew was a surprise.I keep hearing rumours about luke young.is he any good?sure he has england caps,but so does stewart downing.

Rest of Squad

Berger

Cahill

Osbourne

All the rest are surplus to requirements

That team might break into the top 4

Never going to happen but hey what the hell, Randy.......Show me the money!

On football365.com, kepa blanco, sevilla's striker currently on loan at whu, claims that Villa,portsmouth,newcastle and man city have offered him a chance to play for them next season.

we should get ratinho or seitaridis for the right back position.Ok, i was just kidding about Ratinho as he's great in FM but I've never seen him play.Seitaridis on the other hand, oozes class.They are other rightbacks than those based in england you know?I wouldn't mind McShane but tbh I've never seen him play but I trust Mon's judgement.

don't like it yet but hope that it grows on me.

Getting Lucas Neill might be good for breaking into the Australian market.Football's starting to take off here and Lucas Neill is highly regarded here especially after his world cup heroics.However, would still prefer Seitaridis but would have to break the bank for him.

Add Seitaridis as well.and Van Der Vaaaaarrrrtttt

Would love to see us try to get Georgios Seitaridis from Atletico Madrid.He is a marvellous right back who is solid and good going forward.One of the reasons why Greece won Euro 2004.Would probably cost us a ot though.He cost Atletico 12 mill euros.Not a lot of great gettable right backs out there.

PS - any chance of sending the Villa to Australia for a pre or post season tour?

yes please.And if it Melbourne could be one of the destinations that would be fantastic.Football's really taking off here with the success of the A-League so there is a big market for football.Maybe a friendly against Melbourne Victory FC?

would love a liverpool vs milan final.definitely dont want manure or chelski to win it.as if they aint cocky enough.

If he's not good enough for United he's not good enough for villa.

God, I would LOVE them to win or draw. It would be hilarious.

Me too.I would piss myself if they manage a win or draw.

quaresma,sneijder and simao are all great players and from my experience with FM would really make us a top 6 side.But i honestly doubt they'll want to come to villa now.Maybe after a few years we might be able to attract players of that calibre but right now i dont see it happening.

I hope they end up in the conference league.Porn barons!!!

hope we try goin for milner.def a future england star.
