Me, you and the rest of the world know's that but that didn't stop the likes of:- Scott Parker Damien Duff Shaun Wright Phillips Mateja Kezman etc etc etc .....signing for them! It'll be a bad move for him footballing wise, but a great move financially! But I guess financially he would have got a great deal somewhere else as he was a bosman, but he's seen Chelsea - TWO time premiership champions, runners up this year, fa cup finalists, champs league semi finalists! Can't blame him, but he won't play much.

Lol! What makes you so sure?! Has he not pretty much been confirmed as signing for Chelsea? Mourinho didn't deny it when he was asked.

Has Darren Bent signed for Spurs yet?! :roll:

Muntari to Pompy, will be a great signing for them. Not sure whether I'm gutted about it or not, this time last year I most probably would have been but I believe in MON, Lerner and Fitzgerald to get us signings as good, if not better than Muntari. As for Viduka - no surprise to me that he has started banging them in when he wants a move - last big pay day. Before this season, what has he been doing with himself?!?! We sign him, it would be a waste of money, he's lazy, and just wants one last pay day.

Thought Crouch would have been in that sample?!

Are the last 10 pages about Jermaine Defoe?! If so, I ain't reading. :roll:

So according to 'Brummie' Darren Bent is signing for the Spurs tomorrow, I wait and see. 8)

This thread, as ridiculous as it already is with its 235 pages ALREADY is about to get seriously seriously busy!

If Bent was signing for Spurs, surely ONE newspaper would be reporting it today?! To announce he's leaving a day after the season aswel. I still think a move to Man Utd is more likely.

Bent to spurs hey! Can't see it myself.

Sheperd's comments are interesting and seem to suggest two things:- 1) There is a£9m release clause and 2) A lesser club than the top four has offered it.

Exactly what I thought and when I look around the league and ask myself about Owen, other than the top four, I think of...... ......Villa!

Yeah, I'm undecided on Luke Young. Can't say I've seen alot of him. For £2m, is he worth it?! Looks like this might be happening IMO.

Think he's been very unlucky to be fair. Owen would guarantee us goals a striker hasn't offered us since the days of Atkinson and Saunders. If we can keep him fit ;-)

Apparantly there is a clause in Owen's contract that allows him to leave for £9m. The Barcodes can't be that stupid.......can they?! :shock: :? :roll: :winkold: As for Barton, I'd take him.

Now with the 'top class' signings news aswel! Happy days!

Don't think he was making reference to Woodgate or Bellamy to be honest. Just telling us of the speculation at the time.

Just scrolling back and saw this. Come on John, tell us something ;-) As the Moderator of this website, and a friend of the General's, this seems a reliable source. He's clearly excited, makes me

Jimmy Bullard, Wigan to Fulham last April/May. So it happened once last season. That's hardly enough of a precedent to assume that we'd be able to pull off the same thing, is it? Not saying it'd be confirmed but the deal would have been done. Though I did say 'confirmed', I didn't mean it in that sense.

Where has this Sidwell news been confirmed anyway?

Where has this been confirmed? To be honest, I'm not bothered in the slightest, I don't think we were in for him in the slightest anyways. The way he celebrated when he scored past us would suggest that also. Not that he would not celebrate, but it was a PROPER celeberation, not one of 'toned' down etc. I think it was only really Newcastle in for him, hence why we haven't heard anything of where he is going. If AVFC were after him, we would have had him by now, and something would have been confirmed. This is no longer AVFC run by ELLIS. That's my thinking anyway.

I'd be very sad to see Jermaine go and very worried about the boost he'd give to a rival team. The man is class. The thing with him is he doesn't bottle it - he may often miss quite a few chances, but he self-creates loads of them and always has a crack when other strikers would look for an easier option for fear of failure. No, I'm not a season ticket holder ... live too far away for that and have family commitments. If Defoe could play as well with Keane as he can with Berbatov, then I'd stick with him in preference to Bent. Tough choice, but Defoe gets the nod for me. However, crazy as it may seem (and probably is), I haven't entirely given up hope that we may sell only Mido, sign Bent and keep both Defoe and Keane along with Berbatov. Jol has recently spoken of wanting to keep Defoe, but we also know he wants Bent ... could both things happen? Very unlikely, but you never know .... Berbatov, Keane, Defoe and Bent all at one club: the most feared strike quartet in the Prem. I can always dream .... Hmmm interesting. Thanks for that mate. I ask you those questions because YOU more than ANYONE on THIS site knows about Jermaine Defoe. If you are indeed telling the truth (I have no reason to doubt you), and you'd be sad to see Defoe go, he could well be a welcome'd additon to the AVFC squad. My only problem is that we already have Agbonlahor and Moore on our books, who I feel could develop quite easily into a Defoe'ess player, if not better. But, we have been LINKED, and there's gotta be some kinda truth in it. Especially as we've been linked with Bellamy too. Similar kind of player. I was hoping you were going to say you'd prefer Bent over Defoe, but you seem to genuinely like Defoe (wouldn't have anything to do with him just scoring would it?!) lol. Not sure, Defoe or Bent - could well be welcomed additions to our Football Club. Still feel we'll have to compete with the major big boys for Bent though. As for Mido - heard he's off to Manchester City, so who knows - Bent, Defoe, Berbatov and Keane - that'd be something special!

according to some reports over the weekend he has already signed a pre contract with us i don't know what truth their is in that, but i'm pretty confident over us signing him, usually i'm pretty pessimistic when we are challenging with other teams for a player, but i'm confident over this one Which reports were these? Do we need him? :?

May I ask a few questions to the Spurs fan?! Jermaine Defoe - would you be sad or happy to see him go? Are you a season ticket holder? If you had to choose one over the over - Defoe or Bent? - Forget Defoe can't play with Keane or Berbatov and Bent can (even though we're guessing), who would you choose OUTRIGHT?!

We'll have to wait and see. If Bent does leave Charlton though and doesn't go to a top four side, I'm not sure Spurs will be able to offer the guy or Charlton the same financial package as us. Yeah, for sure, they're rich, but they've gotta first sell Defoe, and this could prove to be more of a stumbling block than they can imagine. Yes, Spurs can offer the UEFA, but everything at Villa is so exciting right now and will continue to be, I can see alot of players falling for us this summer. The only thing Spurs can offer is London to be honest. Not trying to hate on your team GlastonSpur, but I genuinely believe he'd choose Aston Villa over Spurs. But, I still believe a Man Utd will be in for him anyway, so we can all carry on dreaming!
