Its a pickle of a situation, £25m in the bank is a great return for Randy but how here-invests that amount into the team could be a defining moment of his tenure as owner.

If they want him, make them deliver it in shiny new pound coins!!!

Possible win, win for Villa, if he stays great, if he goes for anything more than £20m happy days

BOF yes that right I'm blaming the Irish for MON's lack of signings, them and the Romans!!!

Your still not getting it after years and years?

I get it, MON is consistantly slow at getting going, doesn't stop it from being very frustrating.

I'm not saying we've necessarily missed out on anyone yet, I hope, but I would pretty much staek my left nad we won't sign anyone until we get back from Ireland so even more potential signing days wasted!!!

According to the Metro today only ourselves and Blackpool haven't signed a player, and its just over 3 weeks until the start of the season.

If MON signs any player now and moans about not having a pre-season under their belt only he is to balme!!!

City must be pissed off having to wait so long, anything over £25m is a great price for us.

I'm curious to know the Genral's thoughts on our shirt release dates. It now seems that we're consiostantly one of the last kits released.

The first year you can accept with a new manufacturer, the second year there were excuses this year it jsut seems the crap norm now?

Off topic - How funny is Laursen's hair!!

On topic - a 5 man midfield with two defensive anchors seems to be the formation de jour so Flamini and Petrov would look very tidy in that.

Anothre day seems to be drifitng away with absolutly diddly squat happening...stupid question but is MON still on holiday?

The main beef Flamini seems to have at Milan is being played out of position, he'll love it at Villa then ;-)

There must be tumble weeds at Villa Park....@...@..@..@..@....

MON treats the summer transfer window like a school holiday, he loves his 6 weeks off.

Another article says we're interested in Mathieu Flamini

Honestly we must get linked every window with well over 100 players and sign less than a tenth of that.

Also this must now be the lastest point we've had in a MON summer window without a purchase? I think we've bought atleast one player in previous summer windows before the 21st July, correct me if I'm wrong?

Sky Sports Transfer talk now says we've enterrd the race to sign Stéphane Sessègnon who plays for PSG?

Raul or Heskey, I'm sorry even at 33 Raul will score more goals.

Raul on a free anyone?

It does make me laugh how this thread grows with no action happeneing. 256 pages deep and not a whsiper of movement at Villa Park.

As suggested previously maybe next summer this thread could be opened only from the 2nd/3rd week of July onwards?

What will people's opinion be if we don't sign players who didn't go to the world cup until August then MON complains they didn't have a pre-season at Villa?

Keane or Ireland arriving in August for example?

So is this now officially the latest MON has been in the summer window without signing anyone?

Look at some of the other shirt manufacturers in our league, we should count ourselves lucky to be with Nike.

Quick question over the MON period is the third week of July the latest time we haven't signed our first summer player?

Did they show the away goal keeper kit or just the horrible yellow home version?

astonvilla direct.com haven't updated their new kit section yet, where will the new kit appear first, astonvilla direct, JJB Sports, Sports Direct or Kitbag?

Just to summarise people's complaints

Don't like the checks on the home or away

Don't like the sponsor logo with tag line on home or away

Don't like the red colour of the sponsors logo and tag line on the away kit

Everyone seems to hate (myself included) the home yellow Tony the Tiger goal keeper kit

The collars on both kits?

Tiger Goalie Kit

Arsenal Grey home version

Man Utd Yellow home version (same as ours)#

Inter Milan home version white, green and red striped version

We also haven't had the recently ridiculous team photo yet.
