Loved to see SWP at VP but we'd be behide Arsenal and Man City for him.

If Arsenal dont sign him that would leave us and Man City - he may opted to go back to the side he knows and has played for.

Hope im wrong though

just to extent the 'dublin' comment...

we have alot of youngests at the club and I think we could bring dublin in some sort of motivation coaching role - he was a damn good forward and defender - not sure if he is already a coach but it would be a shame if he wasnt!

dont think defoe will leave tbh... would be a good signing though

hmmmm I think Alan will stay in England tbh - but i can see why Man U would try and ship him out to Bayern.

Defoe want come to midlands - think he loves London and would only leave for one of the top 3

Keane almost joined Villa from Wolves seven years ago but John Gregory baulked at the £5million asking price.

^^^ has it been that long!!!! ^^^ time flies

ermmm this would be the biggest signing in villas history!

he would bring in £millions to the club (+ good thing)

he would bring media to the club (+ good thing but i think there would be too attention on him and on the club)

he is still a half decent player

I'll bring him if he was going for cheap

SWP is the player most (well what looks like most) of villa fans... hes young, fast, skillful and bloody talented!

He isnt getting as many games as he would like at Chelsea - and i think MON could help he become a top player!

Charlton are in the crap this season.... I think villa can wait till the end of the season and pick up bent for 5-6million from a team who have just been relegation to the fissy pop league

I wouldnt like to see MON break our transfer record on some1 like Bent - yeah he's good but I dont agree with the bumped up price

Maloney - never heard of him

sorry but i dont follow the SPL at all

Why play barry left back... he's played brilliantly in midfield

bridge and wright phillips are realistic

Milner will come

need a new striker ??

not too keen on Defoe at all.... why sign another Milan Baros? he cant get into the Spurs squad - that has to tell you something?

I'd imagine that SWP just wants to play regular football and he is struggling to get that at chelsea... would be a class signing!!!

would be amazin if we could land SWP - we really need a natural talented midfielder who can run at defences

It is fun though ain't it

Wayne Bridge

SWP

Milner

Parker

A new RB?

This would give us:

---------------Sorenson--------------

New---Mellberg---Luarsen---Bridge

-------Petrov--Parker--Barry------

SWP---------------------------------Milner

------------------Angel-----------------

I agree with this. I think we need a new RB as hughes is a weak link.

Bridge would be a perfect signing - he a good defender and could be on his way out now cole is at chelsea (could get him on the cheap)

SWP - this kid isnt goona get a chance at chelsea. Another one on the cheap. He's skillful and has quick

Parker- He would command that central position therefore allowing for Barry and Petrov to bomb forward. Cant see Newcastle selling though

Milner - think MON will want him still. He played well for us when we were crap... this kid would be great in the current villa squad

get the star on the shirts!!! i feelt that another start will be next to it within 5-8 years

cant wait... bring on tomorrow

Doug Ellis remains Doug Ellis???

Would be nice to have the north stand changed to something more imaginative

If changing the name brings in a couple of million then go for it.... Yeah - its nice to keep the traditional stadium name but end of the day its just a name.

hmmmm dunno whether it would.. end of he day if it means we have to rename VP to sumthing else as a result of the takeover then 'go for it'.... its a very very small price to pay for the services of Lerner

hmmm RANDY PARK or the RANDY stadium lol

hmmmm think we'll hear something on tuesday tbh

lol

Phase one in complete - MON is in

Phase two is pending completion - Lerner in the hot seat (predicted by 7/8 game of the season)

I agree that Doug needs to go.... its time to go

However I do believe that bringing in MON now - before the season starts - was a excellent move by who ever it was

What villa dont have is time atm - the season is just around the corner and with takeovers taking weeks/months to complete it was in the best interest for everyone to appoint MON now.

Appointing him now doesnt neccessary mean Doug is trying to sweeten up the villa fans... but i can see why some ppl think this. With MON in place now it means that we have secured a top manager for the start of the season... with the takeover completed by villa 5/6 game of the season.

Doug will go... but not just yet... give it a few months for the papers to be finalised and signed by Mr Lerner

its a step foward.... yeah.... its been a great day to have MON as our new manager!!!!

but the champ's is on ice till the takeover is complete

^^ Disguised as one of the press lol
