Very optimistic. Watching the team gelling with the new signings at the end of last season was fantastic and Reo Coker will be huge for Villa. If we make the correct defensive signings I'd say we'l finish between 4th and 8th.

Which is untrue. Amazing how these myths propagate.

Proof please. Backup what you say or stop the wild assumptions. Football Manager has got zero link with real life.

You rant needs paragraphs. And stop taking random transfer links (good or bad)as gospel.

Because each story basically copies from the previous.... Mon was actually at an Ajax game the other day to watch Sneidjer though so i think it would be frivolous to assume that this story is purely a fabrication by Bill Howell simply because of the notion that he may read this site, this link has been hanging around for ages and no-one from the club has denied it, i for one hope we get the kid and i'd like to think Mon feels the same. Give us a link. Also where he confitms Sneijder as a target and not 1 of the other 21+ players on show, please.

Shouldnt this be in the rumour thread?.

He's bought 2 players from Celtic. You're obsessed.

When did Carew and Young play for Celtic?.

Close to zero. He'l goto a CL outfit.

Thats an interesting quote there Dave. Does anyone think that this summer we will sign the best player we have ever signed (not necessarily Wes but any as yet unnamed player) In modern times maybe.

There's nothing at all to indicate Villa are after Sneijder.

You sound confused. :nod:

Huntelaar you're kidding right?. Isnt Sneijder primarily a left winger which we dont need?. People need to get a sense of perspective. It's amazing that if a player linked to Villa isnt some world star he's slagged off to high heaven. where the hell has all this bullshit come from?. Plus Sneijder plays in the middle for Ajax and he can play on left on occasion. Lets say for arguments sake Huntelaar and Sneijder are out of reach. That still doesn't make Championship players any more desirable. Spurs should be our barometer in that they are a big club without Champs League and with money to spend. Whilst Koumas is a good player he's a Middlesbrough level player at best. You dont need to be a world star to get the pulse racing but you do need to have a certain level of ability. I think posters have already ably demonstrated that he is a good player. Read back and learn.

But good players linked are getting repeatedly slagged off. I also think expectations then are unrealistic. As MON and the General have said they have a 5 year plan.

If and it's a big if imo Villa are after him how good is he on the right wing?. The one weak part of the midfield.

No one at Villa ever said that. It was made up by Bill Howell.

You'l get no more than 2m for Davis.

Do Villa see Luke Moore as Champions League quality in the future?. :winkold: Well, why not? 1 year left on his contract. 1st team place guaranteed, not gonna happen. What's he gonna do?.

There all good players. But 1 with big potential.

Allegedly set on Villa aswell. Tons of potential. Any player with the strife at West Ham this season would of been tested. Reo Coker, Barton or Parker= Reo Coker by a country mile.

Zokora has had a reasonably good season for Spurs - not great, but OK overall. However, this has been only his first term in the Prem and most (not all) players take some time to adapt. His performances during the 2nd half of the season were certainly better than the first half and most Spurs fans can see his talent and potential and think he'll be much better next season. I imagine Jol thinks the same. As for Reo--Coker, there are conflicting ITK reports as to whether or not Spurs are interested. If I had to guess I'd say we're not, since I doubt he'd want to come simply as a squad/cover player and there seems no obvious place for him in our starting XI. If this is correct, and if Barton goes to Newcastle, then it seems Villa will have little real competition for NRC. It sounds like a definite runner to me. How condescending is that! I dunno. I think it's pretty fair. Though I'd much rather have Reo-Coker starting in my midfield than Jermain Jenas. Jenas reminds me a little bit of Steve Davis. Great in spells, works hard, good attitude but overall contribution - insufficient. Anyone else think this Reo-Coker business may be worthy of the first individual 'RUMOUR:' thread of the summer? He is very good. He's got it. And yes.

Claret and Blue tinted glasses?. I'm certain Ridgewell and Davis lack the talent unsure about Moore yet because of his position. I think all Villa youngsters have been vastly overhyped. If these 7 or 8 youngsters were as good as people say. Top 4 would of happened this season. Think!

Reo Coker has got big big potential. People are far to obsessed with media impressions or there own little version. If he had a season like the one before it'd be 15m+ and Big 4 here i come. A very shrewd signing if we get him.
