We still have Carew, Moore, Gabby, Maloney, Young, Sutton who can all play up front

Good post, but I don't think Sutton will play footie again....

Wouldn't mind Gudjohnsen - more likely to be him than some of the other Barca players

now that would be top class (in the voice of alan partridge)

Nakamura? wow

Man U got him http://youtube.com/watch?v=lH7uQwOhKd4

lots of clips of him missing chances....? :?

Michael Kightly's name keeps on cropping up. Is he any good?

whats this Fred like then?

i know he seems to score goals for fun...but what are his attributes?

can he head?, is he strong?,pacy?,does he dive?,has he got skills?,fox in the box?

ive rarely seen him play

Somebody get me inside his head

French guy in my office says he's blows a bit hot and cold.... Saying that, supposedly Carew had a bad attitude - but he's become a Holte End hero after 1/2 season

I'd like the Englnad U-21 captain at the Villa. I like the way we're building a British spine, makes me proud. Brings a tear to my eye.

Can anyone summise what our 'hot prospects' appear to be?

Finnan would be a good, solid signing. He made most pundit's PL Team of 2006/7 at RB

I dunno if this has been discussed (haven't read all 479 pages!).

Would we want Tevez? and do think he would come to us if we tried to bid for him? how much?

Would he fit in our team? and who else would we be fighting to sign him?

Yes, we would, but we would be fighting almost every big club in Europe. He would be a brilliant addition to any team.

Oooooooo. Carew and Tevez. **** me. What a dream combo....

I'm going to go sit in a dark room with some tissue.

Have we bought anyone yet? Is anyone staying at a local hotel? Are we signing Ronaldinho? Are we signing any 'out of sorts' from Liverplop?

Are we? Are we?

People whinging about missing out on this player or that player. The thread is rife with it already.

If I read the question "Is this another we've missed out on?" again, in whatever guise, I'm going to explode. You have been warned.......

have people been getting their 'AVFC transfer updates' on their mobiles? I'm on Orange - the list is quite long.

Anyway, everythime they've been larking on about keane and defoe - haven't they both just signed 5 year deals? i'm not sure what the source is - it may be even from avfc.co.uk. if that was the case, then why are we publising players we're going after?

If we are after Thomas Gravesen... God heavens that would be a very bad move Mon!

don't hope it's true... Amen

100% Bollox! I wouldnt be surprised if you are Pro-McCann...

Gravesen has played for Real Madrid. He was brilliant at Everton and he has done ok at Celtic. Gravesen is 31 years old and he still can do a bloody good work in the middle where we have been so weak and inconsistent. The youngsters will benefit hugely by his presence and this would not be a bad move or MON considering he has stated that he wants quantity and quality.

On the Kewell note I would like to mention what his merits are and that he has been a good player for Liverpool recent seasons...although this season has been disappointing by injuries.

Could we do better? Yes probably...but then again...they might not want to play for Villa.

100% agree. Gravesen is a GREAT player. I'd love him at VP.

Nope I'll just phone MOn and ask him

My thought on that is perhaps MON wasn't interested in Bale and has other targets

Thanks for that Richard. Any input on why?

i'm a little dissapointed we didn't go after bale. especially as we're a bit light on CB's and it's Bouma's preferred position (or maybe MON doesn't play him their because of his lack of hight)

thoughts?

Eidur Gudjohnsen anyone?

I was watching the Barca game the other night with my mate and said exactly the same thing. Maybe it's a sign....

That would be a great signing. Better than Joey Gudjohnsen

Which sites do people use for their rumours?

BBC.co.uk aggregates all info from from the daily papers

Would anyone not like Junhinio from Lyon? That would be lovely.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

I reckon he'd score 5 from dead balls per season.

Id love him at Villa, class act although getting on a bit. I think he scored about 14 goals from set pieces in 1 season once.

i've got it in my head now that this is the type of player we need to sign. imagine having great wingers (young) and a brilliant A-M laying on silky smooth balls for Carew + new striker

Would anyone not like Junhinio from Lyon? That would be lovely.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

I reckon he'd score 5 from dead balls per season.

it'd be a gamble, but it would be great to have him in the team. his finishing is pretty special.

would anyone take Owen?

50,000,000 £1's

This type of nonsense is JUST ONE of the reasons why I find it hard to care about international football anyway

Agreed. I do not watch England at the moment because he is a cnut.

Like a blunt pencil

what a pointless comment
