How can any fan be happy with a squad at the moment? As fans we invest a lot of time, money and wayward emotions to this football club. Its a lot of peoples life. We are a big club and as fans we are demanding and rightly so. We're not asking the club to challenge for the champions league over night we just want some bloody players for every position. Is that so much to ask???

Redman you seem to have a higher post count than most of the villa fans, are you sure your not slowly moving over to the claret and blue side?

IMO he hasnt handed in a transfer request because he knows the transfer isnt gonna happen anymore. He has already dug himself a hole with the fans so there is no point bulldozing it.

Even if he did hand in a transfer request it wouldn’t change the fact Liverpool aren’t meeting our valuation of the player so what difference would it make? It appears Alonso is staying at Liverpool anyway so I hope all the shit this summer can be forgotten and Barry can carry on playing good football for us. Minus the captains armband of course.

Would you consider this Xavi Alonso + Finnan + 2 millions for Barry.

I'd consider Alonso and either £2m or Finnan.

Not sure Alonso would be up for it though. He rejected advances from Spurs a few months back, apparently.

I'd have Alonso over Barry anyday. Straight swap, great business.

I think everybody would say Yes to this so is it at all possible to alter the voting to reflect opinions on 16M Cash offer?

Yes. I also think we should just accept an offer of 16M if that is the case.

Cant believe Dwight Yorke is the higest goal scorer in my life time. I'm tipping Gabby to beat this.

Barry hasn't left yet and I don't think he will to be honest... if he does it will be down to MON's lack of activity in the transfer market...

If Barry leaves it will be due to MON's lack of activity in the transfer market? :?

you've lost me Nick.

Thats what Barry said, more or less, if Villa don't show some ambition, he would consider his options... his words, not mine!

To be fair this is quite understandable. It also happened before with the likes of Southgate, Ugo and Boateng. The main difference now is we have money to spend so there should be no lack of ambition.

Your predictions are very bold Jez, You predicted 0 when there were non, 2 now there is 2 and I'm sure you'll have predicted 3 or 4 by the end of the day.

just over 48hrs left, i'll go with my original prediction of a big fat 0.

Anything now will be a bonus.

A real chance of getting into europe gone, a lottery now with injuries when it didn't have to be!

Think the worst and then you'll be happily proven wrong but also avoid disappointment.

In this case you'll be happily surprised. I'm sure of it.

i said 3 but I've changed it to 2. A RB and a right winger.

PLEASE let it be No 2!!!

IMO you should only show numbers if you are, or one of the best around.

Defiantly number 2. Got a Partizan kind of feel about it similar to Croatian flags. I love it!!

Everyone seems to like No 3 but I don't think its really necessary to be showing off numbers to the world. We know our history, we don't need to boast about it.

GABBY! Keep the faith lads. He gonna score a hatrick soon and be the best thing since sliced bread again.

yet look at our signings.

I know. Fantastic what progress we've made in just 18 months.

Give me an open chequebook and the squad that was already in place and I could give you progress

yet look at our signings.

My team for Sunday:

...........................Carson..................

Gardner.....Mellberg.......Laursen.......Bouma

Agbonlahor....Reo-Coker.....Barry......Young

...............Carew..........Moore

This is of course if Carew is fit, and I think we'd be more solid with Laursen and Mellberg in the middle!

I know some do not like Agbonlahor on the right but he tracks back and is obviously very quick and would help protect Gardner better than Petrov would.

I agree with this but I would rather see Gabby up front instead of Moore, Young on the right and Berger on the left. I do not want to see Knight on the pitch for any villa game, let alone one of the biggest of the season.

You're not allowed to support your club and be optimistic!

sorry lads. I been doing this for years and it just leads to dissapointment more often than not. Its better to be realistic. It dosent hurt as much then.

Berger would still rip them apart!!

Aint nobody ripping them apart. When you all going to realise we are not that good!?

Would Oliver Kapo get in to our team?

as I said. 6 and a half years since we won away in the premiership on tv. Last win was away to Charlton in 2001

shit your probably right. Was our win against SHA 2 years ago not televised?

it wasn't . Shitty statistic isn't it and one that is pretty unbelievable

It is pretty shocking. But to be honest so is our away record in general over the past few years.

IMO this game will go one of two ways. We will outclass them and win convincingly. Every one will bang on about how great we are, how we are going places and what a great manager MON is.

Or our weaknesses will be terribly exposed and we will get humiliated. Then all hell will break loose on Vtalk!

as I said. 6 and a half years since we won away in the premiership on tv. Last win was away to Charlton in 2001

I hate to bring this up again but if we are to win at the sty we are going to have to break what is now a 6 1/2 year stretch without an away win on the tv in the premiership. Oh how I would like to break that particular duck.

6 and a half years?? Let me just clarify that is what you mean before I correct you.
