10-15m plus Ireland and Richards please, maybe even have and RSC off them too

MON has a habit of getting the best out of players, both on their day are good enough for England, therefore good enough for us. Jenas is better than Sidwell and Reo-Coker, and Bentley will add balance to the wings with both Young and Downing prefering the left hand side.

20m + Ireland would be more like it, and a deal i'd consider to be honest!

I'd rather lose Ashley Young, but if we did lose Milner to Man City, they do have some players i'd like to maybe involve in a swap:

Hart

Richards

Onuoha

Ireland

SWP

Bellamy

RSC

15m (to spend on a striker) + Richards + Ireland and I'd be happy enough

Don't think I'd take Bellamy now to be honest.

If we are looking at forwards in this country who could be within our range then I suppose you are looking at Doyle, Rodellaga, Ebanks-Blake, Zamora, Carlton Cole, Pavlyuchenko (sic), Piquionne, Fletcher, Davies, Jason Roberts, Kalinic

From this list i'd be interested in, in order of preference:

Pavlyunchenko

Cole

Rodellaga

Zamora

Doyle

Fletcher

I think the Pav would score a lot of goals in our team.

Pav, Carew

Gabby, Delfeuonso

Good forward line their

I'd like to see Albrighton and Delfeounso given a chance on Sunday!

I told you all that place would be a nightmare! They sold far too many tickets for their capacity, meaning over 25mins wait for a beer i've heard. Very uncomfortable, and then it was blatently always gonna get shut down. What a waste of a tenner!

Anyone without tickets, where are you watching the game if not this silverspoons place?

Yes

Why does he never make subs? Time to nring the kids on. If we run out of steam again this year there is one man to blame. . . .

Anyway enough of the negatives, we're going to Wembley!

I've read in loads of threads about the lack of Subs for todays game.

I gotta say, I can't see what else could have been done.

MON did the one that was needed, taking Heskey off as he was offering about as much as a blind man driving a grand prix car.

And to me, the defence did what they should do - keep the ball out.

The midfield did what they needed to do, keep the pressure off the defence and create chances - and I call over 30 chances creative !

The problem is - we have absolutely SOD ALL as an attacking force. He did what he could- bring Carew on.

It's his fault we are in that position - only Martin ONeil knows why he is the only person in Great Britain who believes our forwards are good enough - but for today (bearing in mind NRC was injured - hmmmm ?) I can't see what substitution was going to make a difference

I'd have brought Delph and Delfeuonso on for Petrov and Gabby with 20 minutes to go. Delfeuonso has a canny nack of scoring and we need to give him some prem minutes, and Delph would have added some much needed energy in the middle. Petrov can't play 90 mins every game.

I hope the reason NRC wasn't on the bench is because he is leaving. Sidwell and Gardner should be first.

haha, they have that too

I hope we go into this 4-4-2 (I'm quite suprised I'm saying this, as I'm normally an advocate of 4-5-1 away from home especially in the big games), but that it how much I want to see Milner have a go at them from the middle.

Heskey/Carew to dominate Carrick in centre defence, and Gabby to outpace a coming back Vidic.

I can see us grabbing a 1-1 draw here.

There's also quite a few bars on the right hand side on the walk down from the station, a weatherspoons etc.

Oyster Bar is great though, good atmosphere and cheap booze, that's where i'll be. There's also a load of christmas markets on around there at the moment if you fancy some mulled wine to warm your cockles.

For those without a ticket, Binary Bar is on the Chester Road (The long main road down to United) and have Sky Sports on a big screen. It's right at the top next to a massive church. About £5 in a taxi from Oyster Bar. Best thing is between 5-9, it's happy hour so it's like £1.50 bottles of any beer (they have peroni, corona, becks etc.). Good for and after the game. It's quite small and off the beaten track, so us Villa could really take over.

How far away is the ground from Liverpool Lime Street train station?

How much is it in a taxi?

Where on earth has he gone too?

Cuellar is not a right back, he has done well enough, but we'll be far more balaced with Luke Young in the team!

I've gone for 2, I think we need to sign Upson, Warnock and 1 of VDV, Bentley or Tuncay but reckon we'll just get the 2 defenders!

Luke Young for me!

It amazes me why so many people want open, when he is obviously not the same player he was, and is so injury prone. Waste of money and wages!

If we can get and keep him fit Ashton!

From the players we are being linked with, I would say we are looking for 6 players.

1. A top class GK (Boruc, Gordon)

2. A top class RB (Young, De Jong)

3. An emerging CB (Mertesacker)

4. A top class DM (Reo Coker)

5. A top class creative midfielder with the ability to play anywhere across the middle (Sneijder, Koumas)

6. A goalscoring ST who can play both with Carew and replace him when injured (Fred, Bent etc.)

I'd be very happy with this!

In order of priority:

RB - L.Young 3.0m

DM - (replacment for McCann 2.5m) Barton 4.5m

CB/LB - Distan (free)

ST - Bellamy 7m

RM - Milner 5.5m

GK - (replacement for Sorenson2.5m)- Boruc 5m

i reckon we'll be surprised. again.

top of the list - right back and DM.

I agree with this, but who?!

DM - Barton, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, (Appiah, Muntari etc.)

Barton - Playing wise probably the best but his off field antics are terrible, needs carming down and focusing. Oneill could be the man to do this.

Reo-Coker - Not as good as Barton, but younger so a lot of potential. His fair share of off field trouble, would he upset the dressing room?

Sidwell - Model proffesional, but will he be a one season wonder?

Appiah, Muntari etc. - will they adapt to the premiership?

I'd probably go for Barton, he's the best premiership proven player and I belive O'Neill would do wonders for him! He fits the bill as a Barry quality player, i.e someone who will be knocking on the door of the England squad.

RB - L.Young, L.Neill, G.Johnson, Geremi

I'd go for G.Johnson due to his potential, however I think Chelsea want him back to then I'd go for Young. Just a tad under a Barry quality player but would be solid down the right.

I've read in a few sites in the last couple of weeks that O'Neill is interested in Sneider and Huntelar from Ajax, I dismissed it as ridiculous at first, but I keep seeing it.............

i haven't saw any of those reports

you got a link?

It was on the bbc gossip page which they get from all the newspapers a couple of weeks back. Also all over the fans gossip pages. Very unreliable I know, but they do get some stuff right!
