I'll be honest.. I watched Newcastle's UEFA Cup match yesterday.. and the magpies have this player who played REALLY well. I think he would be a great pick-up... Can't remember his first name.. but it was something Milner.

I liked Crouchie and tbh I never understood why DOLdemort sold him for 2M. With what he has achieved with liverplop and for England I wonder what his market value is now ? Luckily, MON has been able to revitalise JPA and give Luke and Gabby masterclasses in CF play. But what about the future? I doubt that Crouch would want to come back and whether MON would be interested in him may be a moot point. Here is where I make my perennial plug for David Nugent It WOULD be interesting to see how much Crouchie would go for these days. IMO Benitez would make a lot bigger profrit then DOL did.

Clearly not saying we should or would get him.. but Peter Crouch looked great today against Galatasaray... and that scissor kick goal :shock: Now I know that's a touchy subject here.. ("I never rated him" "he's in the past" "he's terrible and still is") but I wish when we had him.. we would've played more to his strengths. JPA is clearly showing this year.. that when you do.. a player can shine in a particular system. Either way.. I'm happy for the bean pole seemed like a great guy who never bitched. I for one never got on him really bad.. but I'm glad he's silencing one or two people.. who would NEVER admit it.

Dont know if the question has been asked the past few days.. but according to reports from last week... shouldn't have Lerner turned in his bid by now? I thought it was either going to be Tuesday or Wednesday of this week? I'm starting to get an uneasy feeling that with team stocks rising.. fans happy with MON and season ticket sales surging.. Deadly is second guessing his decision to sell the club? Are we witnessing Doug's greatest masterpiece to deflect pressure on himself? Sorry just woke up to a mild tropical storm and it looks ugly outside.. need some coffee to cheer me up. UP THE VILLA!!!! ELLIS OUT!!!!! RANDY IN!!!!

You mean Angel wasn't an option?

Well wasn't she working on Countdown until Richard Whiteley's death? Sorry don't get "Countdown" here in the states.. but I can imagine what see looks like.

Doesn't matter who we bring-in up front, because the problem still exists. Wonder what Carlos Valderrama is doing these days?

Why not?

He started 22 games and appeared 4 times as a sub, so 9 goals is not so bad. What was Angel's line last season?

I think he'll do better this game because of the obvious.. he's not facing ManU AND its defence by himself.

Very good Chris.

lol

That's exactly how I feel. Plus we'll see if the "no service for Angel" will also apply to Milan or if indeed Angel is just crap as everyone claims.

Champions League next season.. HERE WE COME!!!!!! Watch your ass Chelsea, Arsenal and ManUSA we've got Milan the Villan now!! I think I'm buying my Premier League champs T-shirt now.. before the prices go up! :winkold:

Yeah but for the alternatives that we have.. I think its worth a shot. (no pun intended) Don't get me wrong I really like Davis.. but IMO I would like for DOL just to give it a shot.. ===Angel=======Aimar Baros-Philips==== JPA-Saviola Sorry I'm just tired of this team being so mediocre. I know its just 2 games.. but so far team play doesn't look any different from the past few seasons. Come on Villa!!! Come on Milan the Villan!!!!

What use is a striker who has to resort to another player's attributes? Baros may have pace, but he's a completely different player to Vassell, who did most of his good work out wide, drawing defenders away. Baros makes driving runs into the box, which I can't see doing much for JPA's limited game. But weve always known that about Angel. He was like that before we signed him. So people make it sound as if all of a sudden he can't do it. JPA looked like a little rag doll next to Rio. But that's not his game. Personally put him on the bench and bring him in later in the match for the change of pace or style.

Agree. Let's see how the dynamic duo do? 30 goals between them this season or? At least 16, 17 from Milan right?

Calm down sweetheart its just MY opinion. JEEZ! you JPA basher are something else. I'm just giving my opinion kid.. you don't have to be so all-knowing and aggressive. And by the way .. when he played at Atletico Nacional he PLAYED AS A CREATIVE MIDFIELDER A FEW GAMES.. SO I DO HAVE EVIDENCE WITH MY OWN EYES.. PLUS WITH RIVER HE'D SLIP DOWN A BIT IN SEVERAL GAMES.. so I guess I DO HAVE EVIDENCE OF IT. That said it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of the fool.. then opening it and removing any doubt. That said.. I apologize if you didn't mean to be harsh.. but when it's written it comes across a bit like all-knowing.. and rude.. as if the rest of us have no idea about football or have a right just to simply suggest something about what truly is just a kids game. SORRY IN ADVANCE LBJ. And notice were as I like JPA and think he gets the raw deal.. I did DROP him from the attacking line and think he should watch Satursday game from the bench and watch a REAL STRIKER score goals.

I wish! I think its a good idea to drop JPA just behind Baros/Phillips. Angel hasn't been Ronaldinho granted... but I think he'd be a better creative center midfielder then the one's we already have.

No, but having some pace the previous Saturday may have made enough difference to give us 3 rather than 1 points. But IMO I didn't think the ball was close enough the entire game to get a good shot on goal. Lets face it.. it took super grueling work to get the ball up front.. (that is until Nobby arrived)

Your right but I guess my point is is that we can't afford Baros and other players. But if we split up the money and get a striker, midfielder and a central defender would that be more beneficial. To me its like buying an expensive belt that I like.. but in order to afford it I have to buy cheap pants with no hoops on it.

I guess the "quote" signature on each of your postings says it all. Villafan I know what your saying and I agree .. but its just frustrating that every season Ellis says something to douse the revolt and we just swallow it whole... just to realize once again that the old goat bought himself more time. ARGHHH!!! Sorry its a Monday!!!

Because from what I can tell from Aston Villa and from what people tell me.. they are not the biggest spenders in the world and have been known to lie to people in the past. Are you still waiting for the 20 million?

Agree
