I'd be desparately disappointed if that was it......from what Fitzy has said and MON noises I think that scenario would be extreme worst case scenario

No, he gives you the luxury of letting your world class players do their thing. He'd be wasted in the same way Mascherano was at West Ham. Can see what you're saying but, he also allows attacking players to attack....yes we dont have world class players but we do have a lot of attacking players and they always know he'd be there if they went attacking....so I slightly disagree with you

If Man U get Hargreaves, how a punt for giggs.....we saw what Berger has done for us, Giggs is a step up from that and for a season or two would be excellent....not sure he'd leave man u though but you never know

no to zenden, not even for a squad player, we need better than that....our current midfielders should be squad players next season and I'm not convinced Zenden would get in that team.

What about getting Hargreaves???

agreed TT, nugent is a good shout

I would love us to go for Gudjohnson....a slight difference on the strikers we have

Yeah but if we bring in players that are better than what we've got then surely thats better for us and obviously that will push Gabby and Luke further down the list. Our aim must be to keep improving on what we've got.....whether home grown or not, the next signing must be to bring in a better player or somebody better for the team than the person in that position... I am now not convinced that the players we may bring in up front will be better than what we have got. I also think that Gabby and Luke can be at least as good as Bent. Don't get me wrong, signing Bent, Defoe etc... would be great, I am just wary of the fact that you can't keep everyone happy. I kind of agree with you, the only thing that bugs me is our goals for column is not good enough, and yes I know our midfield dont create enough and Carew, Maloney and Young have only been here a few months, Gabby and Moore are only really getting their chances now, this season but watching us sometimes, we dont have a killer instinct...the game against Sheff Utd, we scored three, yes i agree but we could have easily scored more....and how many games this season have we just not been able to get that goal when we've been on top....thats the difference between top four and mid table, and thats obviously our aim.......of course our team is new and young and will develop....so I'm in a quandry myself whether we need more up front.....maybe our focus this summer should be everything but attack and only if somebody special comes along do we go for them......good job we have MON to make these decisions rather than me......

Sure you haven't got your hand up his arse like a puppet...looks like the pose!!!

yeah I'm not overally fussed about Bent to be honest

Doubt you've ever seen them play. You can't just throw out names you've seen on FM or seen on youtube. And you know me i assume?. :roll: Out of interest, I have never seen either of those 2 players (as far as I know anyway) so what is it about them which make them the class we need? that they have foreign names and makes us sound sexy :winkold:

For me, JPA will be forever a hero

its fansfc........says it all

Surely after signing quality like Young and Carew we surely looking quality above the four you mentioned

DD did you see the Bon Jovi version as well, hysterical................ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TkCE4YOzLU&mode=related&search=

still not totally sure about Distin to be honest....and I don't know enough about Appiah to agree or disagree with you, happy with the other two though. Would prefer Gatusso though

Humbug to you all.......................... Come on Ronaldinho, you know where the new place to be is..................

forget about us playing tomorrow in terms of hindering a deal, MON wont conduct most of the deal....his part would be, what, an hours conversation with a player and seeing as the game and pre work will be, 4 hours and flight to Newcastle and to and from airports, 3 hours (being generous) that still leaves 17 possible hours to talk to a player.....the financial nucks and crannies will be done by other people

a cheeky swap for mido or keane will do for me cheeky swop for Huddlestone or Defoe more like

Yeah but people are starting to sit up and notice villa over the last few weeks, maybe somebody like Gattuso maybe one of those players....there's a vibe about Villa at the moment.......I think we have made a small statement to European Football....a young talent but highly expensive player and then a player that everybody knows in Carew.

gattuso for me please
