I think some of you underestimate just how attractive an option Villa could be at the moment.
A massive club with plenty of resources to go all the way to the top and one of the best managers in the business.
If MON can choose Villa then I'm pretty sure Micah Richards and Miroslav Klose could too.
Surely we're looking at improving the squad? In which case we need better players than we already have. I also think some of you are exagerating the stature of some players. Micah Richards for instance, is not remotely world class yet and I seriously doubt Chelsea are after him despite what a few rags would say. He isnt good enough to play in one the top 4 teams at the moment (in my opinion) but he could start for us.
Anyway, I think the players I mentioned are quite gettable and if not, there are others. If not Klose, then Darren Bent for instance. Why not?
This isnt Dougs Villa any more. Its an historically major force in football heading back to where it should be under the stewardship of a billionaire and the worlds leading Sports media agency.
Besides, discussing which top class players we can and cannot get is a refreshing change, is it not?
