Have we signed anyone yet ?

Obviously 4 weeks in January might not be enough time to bring in any decent players, Harewood excluded of course

Beckham at Villa what a waste of a good rumour, Defoe, and Keane were bad enough SWP even but Beckham, we need players who can play in defensive point grabbing formations, accept high balls all day long, left wingers who can play at right back, left backs who can play as centre forwards surely, although his free kick expertise would certainly be an asset

Wow thanks for that it really added a lot, actually scrap that it was just aload of rubbish really.

We play in a defensive formation to grab a point once, against the two time champions at that and now that is our formation for good is it?

Ask yourself why we have so many players playing out of position, we have no real quality and cover in certain positions and need to improve which if you'd give MON and Randy a chance instead of this constant stupid sarcastic bollocks you continue to post you might just see what can happen at the club.

harewood would cause more problems than angel and baros because he is alot stronger and faster than either of them.

He doesn't have the technical abilities of angel or baros and is probably pretty even with them in terms of goal scoring.

I wouldn't want hareweood starting but if we needed someone to come off the bench and change things i think harewood would do that better than angel or baros could.

as long as signing ferguson doesn't limit the money MON can spend on a striker then i'd welcome him in. He will certainly improve the squad and possibly the first 11.

robbie keane hasnt started for spurs again today

injured

SWP would be a great great signing, i really hope we are in for him and make a good attempt to bring him to villa, our new record signing and it would show the rest of the prem we mean business.

Please please please go and get him Martin and Randy

i'd love SWP, it would be a huge signing, easily the biggest signing we've had in a long time.

we need someone who can be a consistent goal scoring threat.

Someone who will get us 15+ league goals a season

Someone who turns draws against west ham, spurs, watford and fulham into wins.

With Angel and Baros in the team we will never be a consistent top 6 side.

Did anyone see vidukas goal against fulham, a great compossed finish. He would be better than angel and baros but he's not going to improve us that much.

I wouldn't mind viduka but i hope someone else like darren bent can come in as well.

In the 1920s the famous Arsenal forward Ted Drake remarked:

"The trouble with travelling abroad with the England side is that all that anybody ever wants to talk about is Aston Villa."

Thats a quality quote.

Lets hope the next world cup squad are saying the same.

oh thank god

Please tell me this davies that keeps popping up on the list isn't boltons kevin davies.

I'd be happy with nugent, we would then have 3 very promising young english strikers at the club.

I'd hope that during the summer a more established striker could be brought in.

A few weeks back i thought we would have a real shot at getting defoe but now he is scoring a few goals and keane has picked up an injury i can't see that happening.

MON on a phone in a few weeks back more or less dismissed saviola, saying he didn't think he was that good a player anymore.

:shock: i've lost all faith in MON

just thought i'd mention that i was watching revista la liga last night and they were saying how capello is now seeing what beckham can offer to the team and that they expect him to be much more involved for the rest of the season.

Not that i expected him to come here anyway.

Reo Coker is alright, not great. We could do better and Osbourne will be a better player when he's older anyway.

Reo Coker is 22, wasn't he captain of wimbledon at osbournes age? he has also been west ham capatain, osbourne can barely pass a ball straight.

Reo Coker would be a great addition to the team but i'd imagine he'll be going to arsenal.

also will a certain Mr Bent be keen to move clubs but stay in london and work with his old boss?

I'd be very suprised if we spent more than £40 million from january till the start of the next season.

I'd be over the moon if we spent that much money before the start of next season.

I'd be suprised if any deals are already lined up, i'm sure there are players out there that MON wants and is confident of getting but alot of things can happen before that deal is completed.

I seriously cannot wait till january, i still don't know if randy is prepared to back up his comments by showing us the money but i guess that adds to my excitement.

I believe that we will try to sign Bent

I believe that we will be successful

God i really hope your right richard.

I'd take defoe over bellamy, i'd also take luke and gabby over bellamy.

I don't rate him that much and he is a complete prick so no thanks.

General please tell randy that i don't care what the badge looks like, i don't care what the kit looks like, i don't care if the stadium lights are left on, i don't care what food is served, the only thing i care about is the players i have to watch on the pitch and i hope he will provide the funds to improve that.

im all for Darren Bent - at the right price. I.E. not over £7million

I think you'd have to pay more than £7 million to get bent and i'd be more than happy to pay it.

I do not think that Bent is a player that we will see at Villa

Do you think MON would not be interested in him or do you think we wouldn't be able to get him?

I really like him as a player, i think he has everything that a striker needs to have in the premiership and i think he'll continue scoring goals at this level.

I know it's been mentioned before but i think darren bent is one of the best options we can look at.

He scored goals, wins headers and is a handful for any defence, playing for charlton also means that he is a realistic player to get and one i'd love to see playing in a villa shirt next season.

I think luke and bent would be an awesome strike force and one that could be around for many seasons to come.
