geez Figo is going to sign for a Saudi Arabian side. Why didnt we make an offer? David Dunn going to Blackburn for 2 million... if he could be fit he would be an asset but i guess we have enough of those 'if he stay fit' type players.

agreed. hes already got 12 goals. Probably not as many games.. his goal scoring record is actually quite good. I dont care how much he would cost as long as we get the players we need. Were not run by Ellis anymore.. were not after bargains.. were after quality. Hopefully.

not long now!

We might have to create a new thread... JAN 07 transfer window - CONFIRMED SIGNINGS

hes 17.. but whats age got to do with it... What age did our very own Gareth Barry make his debut? in a similar position also.

whos that Spanish striker.. Kepa we were linked with... was that bullshit? or from an actual paper.

we need 5-6 players of real quality.

Viduka.. is exactly what were missing.. we needed to get him3-4 years earlier though... boy hes got power and can hold up the ball well..

we desperately need someone who can take set pieces or a free kick specialist... that Bale fella is known as a free kick specialist and is a left back.. may be a good bet.

I think if we get a decent free kick/corner taker it may add 5-10 goals extra per season.

How many have we wasted... especially in the last few weeks..

the last week of January is when its a frenzy.. dont expect anything for a while.. teams try and get the most $$ for a player and last day is desperation. Cant wait.

superb signing. Wouldnt 'replace' McCann.... just take his spot.. and McCann on the bench. We need McCann even if we buy another bulldog type midfielder. Its all about squads.

In addition we haven't signed the **** yet and already people "do not rate them" at least give them a chance to show what they can do in Claret and Blue.

I'm sure we would all back them and give them a chance to prove us wrong. I personally would be disappointed with signings from the championship.. as their not really exciting enough for me... id be disappointed but id give them a chance to prove me wrong for sure.

I think quite a few in my boat.. want a big signing for the 'wow' factor. To show we mean business... someone to bring in the crowds.. of course i trust MON.. but doesn't mean i have to agree with him. He will make mistakes.. hes not God.

I would back the players he signs.. but if I'm disappointed when they are signed.. then i don't see why thats a bad thing. I expect us to sign at least one player of REAL quality to improve the squad. More Petrov type signings.. than potentials.. we already have so many young future stars... lets bring in some ready made stars to improve the side.

surely McCann would be cover for Re Coker not the other way around. But anyway we definately need someone like him.

RL is an astute businessman, MON an astute manager. Do not expext huge signings next month, just a couple of solid professionals who will solidify Villas' league position. Uefa Cup quaification would be a big success.

The real Villa revolution will take place over the course of the next 3 years, sl,owly building a team that can play in the Bernabeu, Olympic stadium, etc.

enjoy the Villa getting better, but let it happen in due course. We are still a ways off

Well MON said it himself.. he only wants to sign players who improve the squad.. with quality players

how much money do we really have to spend this January? Weve been linked with championship players..... its as if MON is under Ellis. Is he not planning on bringing in big players to improve the side.. and bring in the crowds... or is it being kept a really big secret of who we really are interested in.. or is the money MON has to spend less than 10 mil...?

i hope were at least trying to go for some bigger and better players than some 'potentials' in the championship. We have enough potentials in our squad. We need more players who would walk into our team with a bit of experience and improve the side. Petrov type signing.

no way hes worth 15. I think 8 million would be fair.

yeah reporting of a straight swap with Griffin and Hendrie... wed be getting ripped off if that was the case.

we'd be getting a deal our manager wants if thats the case, not ripped off.

and youd be happy with that? I like MON as much as the next bloke.. but surely with a decent transfer budget you would be disappointed with Griffin signing?

I very much doubt this rumour anyway. He cant make Portsmouth side with all the injuries their having. Yes hes impressing at Stoke.. so is our beloved Hendrie. So im sure MON thinks nothing of it.

MON will find better players.

yeah reporting of a straight swap with Griffin and Hendrie... wed be getting ripped off if that was the case.

surely Klose would rather come to Villa than Juventus... hehe when was the last time we could say that.. Not only are they in Serie B... but they have no european competitions next season.. we may have

they were heroes the day they ousted Douglas

Neill is a better centre back. Was sensational in the world cup there.

Id loooove for the australian skipper to come to villa. Hes a massive Liverpool fan though

Anyone reckon a cheeky bid for Shevchenko..... wages would be a struggle even with our new board..

He looks very similar to Ronaldo but with more tricks.

So like a big girl with a really slappable face?

Pretty much. :winkold:

yeah well its hard to get in the Barca squad. Riquelme failed as well. The guy plays for portugal. I cant see why he wouldnt succeed in the Premier League. He looks very similar to Ronaldo but with more tricks.

how much would it cost to get this guy signed up. Theres someone who could make us top 4 contenders. Flair.. can take free kicks.. scores.. sets up.. has pace and boy this kid has a wicked cross.
