They have another wing(both Ronaldo and Young can switch wings). Also Arsenal need a wide player, and Pennant has hardly set the world on fire at Liverpool. Put it this way ive seen him a few times, he doesnt excite me. And spending more than £6 million on him would be a waste of money, in my opinion.

Another way of looking at it is that if any of those clubs WERE interested, we wouldn't have a hope of getting him. So I hope you're not suggesting we only be interested in players we haven't a hope of signing Cuz that's a vicious cycle and it's akin to saying if he's not good enough for ManUre then he's not good enough for me - which is simply not true. Im not saying that, but a young player worth £10 million surly one of the top 4 would be interested? Im not saying that if his not good enough for Man U, his not good enough for us, but if the asking price is around there for a young English player, why are they not interested?

Lets put it this way, rumors have it that watford want £10 million for a good young player. Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal dont seem to be to interested in him, in my opinion think its a bad sign.

I think there will be as least 1 player in this week. I quite confident.

There is very few people who know who we are really after.

Hi General i have to admit i agree somwhat with Risso. We need players in now. Certanly before our game against Watford next week.

Agreed - but if Darren Bent is the Aston Martin - we know he is available.......The cover has been blown me thinks Would you pay up to £15m for him? When you see that Kuyt went for £10m and someone like Huntelaar is available I would rather spend it on him. Rather have Nugent for £6m than sign Darren Bent for £12m I dont know Bent id young and quick and IMO would suit our 4-3-3 system, with Moore and Gabby(or somone else), because he played all last season up front on his own.

Manchester United have over £25 million to spend, yet bring in Larsson on loan. Last season Chelsea brought in that Manich(**** how you spell it).

Its so great that you came on here so quicky after the game. It was a great effort, i hope this point can give us confidence to push on a little.

Fansfc. Does anybody read all there shit?

I realise that with modern technology that its not hard to run a football culb outside the country. But its nice to see Randy in the crowd(im sure he loves being in the crowd too). Anyway get back to chatting to all them players.

Could it be possable to put in a few cashpoints around the ground? Might just be me, but many times i forget to get out cash, and its a bit of a walk to the closest. You can charge 1.50 for the privalage.

from the express and star come on MON sign him up :nod: http://www.expressandstar.co.uk/2006/12/29/villa-chasing-chelsea-star/ I hope its just that list of players after him, because i would be quietly confident. I cant see him going to West Ham, they are in a relegation battle.

nice article on the General. link

Guardian or the sun for me depends on what i want to read. I do hate the mirror because its shit and the daily mail/express because of the amout they still go on about Diana, also one of them kept going on about inheritance tax on 90% of the front pages.

Rumours in the some papers linking Alan Smith to Villa in January. Thoughts?

Well he must be good he gets in the England squad above Bazza.

CAN I JUST ADD WHY IS HEINZE NOT 1ST CHOICE. EVRA IS ABSOUTELY SHIT. he is only 1st choice because heinze is just recovered from injury Evra has slighly improved from rubbish to bad. I dont think youve seen Evra this season. His been superb. No really he has, being that he was so awful last season, his the most improved player outside Villa park i would say.

Hi Sir and welcome to Aston Villa. May i say just this little thing means so much to so many people. Only a few months ago, this would have been impossable. I have 2 suggestions. 1. Its only a little thing, but it matters to me. Is there any chance of getting the words "FOOTBALL CLUB" or "F.C." back on the club badge? Its not a biggie, i just hate the fact Aston Villa (and other clubs) have become more brands than football clubs. 2. Its a big thing to me. Villaworld has the worst commentator in the world. And im not over exaggerting either. Im not one for complaining either, or for getting people the sack. But he is truly awful. I just wish you could listen once. We dont know whats happening in the game, he talks utter rubbish, and his not even a Villa fan. Thats all really. I already like what im hearing. Building for success and building a club, is worth way more than a club selling its soul and winning things like Chelsea. Although i would enjoy the ride, i dont think Chelsea have been successful more Abromovich has brought success. Anyway welcome and enjoy the sunny sights of Birmingham.

Bridge at left back is a good shout, i bet with the Chelsea sell off prices we could pick him up for about £3-4 million. Ild add Milner to that for another £4 million and i would have a pop at Nugent at Preston. His strong quick and good in the air and only 21. Then maybe a crack at Wright-Phillips.

My house mate is an Aberdeen fan and they have 2 stars on there shirts. One for winning the cup winners cup and one, Wait for it its a good one. really its good. for winning the European Super Cup.

A thing thats come to my head. When the full takeover happends can/will we have F.C. put back on the badge?

Are all their fans retards????

Yeah ive always wondered why they think consortiums are such a big things. These so called "billionairs" have big egos,i really can't see why they would like to share control of a football club, when they could do it by themselfs(like Lerner)?

**** great point, but im too pissed to go on a rant.
