Like who?????????????? Do i look like the chief scout at Aston Villa?

Theres no excues if we cant get our main targets... we should always have back up plans. Surely we do.

i wish we signed a few unknown talents (south american type) and they became superstars. That Beto kid that Liverpool bought for 2 million looks very good ( although i only saw highlights) he looked very pacy and skilful.

just be patient lads. far out... 334 pages and most has been ? when when who who.. We will sign few more players.. give it time.. do you want scrap signings or the best players possible? if its the latter.. be patient.. its not easy to convince a world class player to come to Villa. I have faith in MON, Randy n Co.

seems like Mr Wenger doesnt like players after the 29th birthday. First Freddie Ljunberg now Lauren...

MON is the most motivating and articulate manager.. if he cant convince them to come... then our club is not ready for these big signings.

He is in a Birmingham hotel at this very moment. do you have their number so i can call it

but you know everyone will click on the 'both' option

Reo Coker must be priority. Our midfield isnt upto scratch and often gets outrun.

mate thats the best first post in ages. Well done mate and welcome aboard. Spot on. Trust it came from an aussie... ( i am too... from sydney.. not paying you out )

and have we signed Defoe yet?

6 January 2007 REO-COKER AXED AND WILL BE SOLD EXCLUSIVE By Darren Lewis WEST HAM skipper Nigel Reo-Coker has been sensationally axed from today's FA Cup tie against Brighton and is set to quit the club within the next week. Tottenham are to make a shock bid to take the England Under-21 captain across London while Bolton are also among the prime candidates to prise him away. Spurs are also in the hunt for Hammers striker Marlon Harewood as White Hart Lane chief Martin Jol has fallen out with Egyptian striker Mido, while Bobby Zamora is being lined up by Reading. Advertisement Click Here But in an amazing transfer merry-go-round Harewood and team-mate Hayden Mullins have also been offered to Charlton in part-exchange for Darren Bent, put up for sale at £15million yesterday - a valuation that desperate Hammers may be ready to meet. Ruthless West Ham boss Alan Curbishley is also set to sell Yossi Benayoun to Portsmouth for £4m and has beaten ex-Hammers boss Alan Pardew, now at Charlton, to the signature of Dinamo Moscow's former Chelsea midfielder Alexi Smertin, who will join on loan with a view to a £2m summer deal. Surely we should be in for him. Young.. english.. cheap... very talented midfield player with an engine as large as a 747. Even Benayoun for 4 mil is good business. Reo-Coker/Benayoun Defoe/Keane/Hunt/Dica Bardsley Id be stoked with those three for the summer.

Would Baros and 6-7 million tempt Martin Jol to sell Keane/Defoe

he did the medical where he was seen at the hotel...... signed the contract.. and is waiting for them to finalise the deal.. until then he was told to go back to Spurs. He wont play tomorrow for Spurs I think we should be after SWP more than anyone... we need a right winger.. and theres not that many on the market.

New system, it's in one of the annoucement threads. ah ok thanks mate. ill have a look. Its far too messy. lol

Why are their so many threads with Rumour: on it... usually they get closed down? whats going on?

hahaha its 11am in Sydney.. im at work and ive done **** all as ive been reading this thread. You guys are legends. Keep it up.. only 5-6 hours left for today.

According to some that will be some sort of super tactic on MON's part!! I hope it is. Id be extremely disappointed if he brought in some wasteful signings ie Sutton Agathe. He has had plenty of time to look at our squad and see what we want and plenty of time to search for players that he can get.. Plan A..B or C... not another 'short term' signing is needed. Heres hoping anyway.

going by what MON said when asked by SkySports after the Chelsea game... he doesnt sound confident of getting anyone.......

Hey General, Just a quick question.. i know you wont mention any names... but can you at least tell us if were in deep talks with any players? If so can we expect anything in the next week in regards to a new player(s)? If Randy really wants to impress and fill out Villa Park.. tell him to go get Klose from Weder Bremen.. and MON would be ecstatic. In all seriousness.. if you could let us know as some of us cannot wait much longer!

Benayoun would be awesome. Add him and SWP to our midfield and suddenly our strikers may start getting some decent chances.

damnit.. we havent signed anyone yet!!! ok ok.. im a bit impatient.... lol Prediction for our first signing? I think 4th of January.

money can be very persuasive.... i always wondered if Randy would back MON with big wages? That was never told. I assume he would as they pay a shitload in the NFL

**** Bent...... Randy if you mean business throw the bank and get us Klose and SWP. Yeah Right. Argh.. how frustrating is it watching Villa.. boring as bat shit.. we created nothing. Petrov is wasted on the wings. Our midfield has no creativity. Strikers cant finish. I cant even remember the last time we scored a goal in general play.

would be brilliant to get him. I rate him really highly.. even through his poor chelsea career but i remember that game for Man City he just completely carved us up. Throw some money at Bale... remind him he wont start at bigger clubs where as the left back position is all his.. and so are the free kick duties.. then throw some money at Werder Bremen and get Klose and were all set for January. Ahh.. shhh.. i can dream
