Damn, they've got sumone to mark Carew

yeh i seen that too, dont want the player as a midfielder to be honest. Diop would be a better player.

doubt they'll sell Geremi for 1million, i think we've got our signings now but i touch wood to see one more face in, Diop would be a good player.

Give O'Neill time, He knows what he is doing simple as, For years we have bought Duds, then complain about them after. Some players might not be available, people also questioning fees, We spent years complaining at Ellis for not spending 8Million on Izzet, and now all we get is Ashley Young is too expensive, if we got him for that much, i would be delighted. There were days when Heskey and Bowyer were touted for those prices.

Just like to say Balaban and Milosevic.

I wasn't comparing Stone, with Merson and Dublin, i was merely pointing out they were bought for huge fees towards the latter end of there careers. I could have mentioned Ginola.

You know what annoys me, is we get people complaining about us not spending money and then people complaining we spend too much money, People are blazing O'Neill for his purchase of Petrov at 8.5, This guy didnt have a pre-season with Villa remember. We have to pay the going rate, Only Lerner and O'Neil know what is worth it too the club, the interesting thing is when we had Ellis we spent millions on players who never had players who kept a value. Merson, Dublin, Stone, players who were at the latter end of there careers we spent over 15million on them, Now were trying to sign players who are young, not former internationals but current ones and were complaining. If we sign Bent and its a Big IF it will send a signal to people we mean business.

He might be in terms of Football, but in terms of business Lerner is far more shrewd and i can guarentee you that. If you look at Football its a Business. Look at Magnusson, he comes out sayin hes ready to spend millions, whereas Villa leave people guessing. Look at Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, The biggest teams in England, they get the players in the shirt before even announcing there interest. Spurs are the same now, hopefully we will follow same suit.

I cant wait till the January window, were going to be linked to a host of players!
