There might be a few, but NRC might be as good as it gets in terms of quality.

A depressing thought.

4. Randy does NOT do cheerleaders.

I'm sure his wife will be delighted to find out...:winkold:

i couldn't disagree more. we need an out and out GOALSCORER!

something which he is not, ditto Carew & Agbonlahor

Gabby can be.

Think he could easily develop into a 20 goal a season striker.

Gudjohnsen is pure class.

I'd love to see him in a Villa shirt.

Technically superb, we wouldn't better that signing this summer.

No point us signing Giuly.

He's an 'off the ball' player and needs quality around him to be effective.

We don't have sufficient quality for him to succeed.

So apart from this Hugo guy, who else have we been linked with over the past 5 days?

Ronaldinho joined the club, but then he released where we were situated, so he joined Everton instead. Something about his Missus throwing away his dinner.

Everybody thought Kaka was set to join, but he went to Schalke.

Nesta had his heart set on a move to Villa, but after reading through Jez's posts, he was persuaded that Spurs were the better option.

I'd take a handball winner every game for 38 games if it meant we won the title!

We offer 23mill to hamburg for kompany,de jong, and van der vaart.They are well worth it and would improve our team vastly.

Hamburg were in a relegation battle for a time in a poor league.

If these three are so brilliant, the 8 supporting them must be awful.

Steve Sidwell. (I am positive MON tried)

Sylvain Distin.

Tricella, don't ever go on a quiz show.

When you get the answer wrong, I don't think 'I'm positive that's the answer' will cut it.

Just be honest, you have no proof that any player has rejected us.

most midfielders should - IN THEORY - find full-back a doddle (I mean, Steven Gerrard is probably the best right-back in the world but what a waste that would be )

True that about midfielders at right back.

Essien is probably better than Gerrard to illustrate the point.

West Ham are the new Boro.

Linked with nearly every player in the world, especially ones we are after.

£6mil is way to much for Koumas, £4mil at a push. Ideally we will get Sneijder though, fork out the extra £4mil for real quality.

I think Koumas would be bought for the left wing, not central midfield.

Hasn't got the work ethic or all round game for central midfield.

He doesn't strike me as an O'Neill player, would be surprised if it happened.

Daily Mail....

West Bromwich midfielder Jason Koumas has revealed that Aston Villa have joined the race to sign him.

Koumas, 27, is also a £6million target for Everton, Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland and Celtic following Albion’s failure to return to the Premiership.

I'd say so.

And I think Man City have had a terrible pre season so far and will go on to be in a relegation battle.

General, what sort of knowledge of The Premiership did you have when you first come here? Did you know of all the clubs or just the likes of Manchester United?

You have a good understanding of everything surrounding the game now or do you think you're still learning?

Let''s face it, you don't become England U21 captain for being shite do you?

I think Jeffers set records at that level, so I wouldn't write home about it.

At this moment in time, Reo Coker is probably the worse of the three.

But I'd also say he has the most potential, hence why Wenger was interested.

But I also think he's an arsehole and has to change his attitude. I also hope he isn't going to do a Baros and see us a stepping stone to the big four.

As if you're going to get real opinions on Reo Coker from West Ham fans.

If we were buying Lampard, they wouldn't be able to put their personal opinions aside and admit he was good.

Why is Koumas being compared to McCann/Gardner?

He's not even trusted to play central midfield in the Championship, so there's no way he'll be playing central midfield in The Premiership.

Koumas needs to be compared with people like Young and for me there's no contest, Young is streets ahead.

Just can't see the point of youtube videos of players.

The worst player in the world can be made to look good with a compilation video.

:roll:

Yea, that article sounds like a 'come and get me' plea rather than there being any actual interest from Villa.

I think we'd all have to seriously consider what direction we're moving in if Titus Bramble comes in.

I thought we were supposed to be aiming for the champions league, not the championship??

Titus **** Bramble?

MON OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm only half joking with that second part. TITUS BRAMBLE??

Post of the year!

Has to be close.

It was accurate and to the point.

Good comedy timing as well after Tricella's essay.
