Links? Can't be srsed to look through all the news sites.

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-player-reveals-closet-7850874 I just think for the little he would cost he is worth a punt.

What did we do before Google hey. Assane Diousse sounds like a good prospect but I'd be reluctant to sign another African due to the ACON.

Quickly looks him up on Google....only joined Anderlecht in the summer. No eff all about him...Any other suggestions?

We desperately need a decent and reliable replacement for Sanchez. He just doesn't isn't good enough for this league imo. Veretout & Gueye are new to the League so deserve this season before being completely written off. Westwood has performed solidly and admirably, play him in the right games with the right players and he is more than good enough for our squad. Gardener-gutted for the had but it seems injuries have robbed him of his chance. Im not up to date with the current football manager so can't pluck a name out of head for a realistic DM but surely there has to someone who is an upgrade on Sanchez who is obtainable?

I wonder how many games he will play before he gets written off for a second time and people shout we should of signed a decent LB in January. I predict 2-3 games unless he has morphed into Roberto Carlos whilst being in the Porto reserves. Glad to have him back as an option over Richardson.

Nick Powell anyone? He's s Villa fan, he only has 6 months left on his contract so should be cheap. He had a touch of class about him at Crewe, lost his way at UTD. He just needs to (apparently) sort out his work ethic/attitude and get over his injuries. I'd say he is worth a punt though and If we do go down a handy player to have next year in the championship or whatever they are calling it this season.

Tin hat on. Given our position I'd take him on loan (unless there is a better option available obviously) Quick, direct, knows the league, point to prove to Woy plus has experience of relegation battle with QPR.

I agree about Guzan, but we were linked again with PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu again today. Intrigued about the possible signing of Cole as a stop gap whilst recalling one of Bennett or cissokho getting rid of Richardson. Recall Senderos to the squad. Townsend is a good loan option given our position and he knows the league and then a striker.

Erm I completely disagree. A Darren Bent proven goal scorer is exactly what we need to stand a chance of staying up. I'm still not defeated and believe with the right signings we will stand a great chance of staying up. Just need a GK LB midfielder & striker.

Didn't he take a pay cut in exchange for a 4 year contract. (I may be making this up) but I thought his £65 grand a week 2 year contract was replaced by a £32.5 grand a week 4 year contract with bonuses ?? Don't rate Gabby or particularly like him but I think it was good business by the club protecting an asset with a contract extension. However shit he is, he is a shit player on a 3 and a bit year contract as opposed to 18 months so hopefully can squeeze a few more pennies out of whatever sucker wants him. Can see him as a Pulis signing. Offer 12 million plus Gabby & Clark with extra bonuses for Berahino. That would be the perfect start to the new year ( aint gunna happen I know)

Hope fades & reality bites. But I'm Villa till I die !

http://www.teamtalk.com/news/villa-boss-garde-confirms-interest-in-signing-ashley-cole I know the press don't usually know shit but I'm clinging to the hope this once they do and Randy has given Remi extensive funds to help our chances.

I see silly season is here from the daily star http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/480720/Manchester-United-Youri-Tielemans-Anderlecht-Scouting-Signing-Rumour-Gossip-Latest I know it's the star but they state the source is Anderlecht online. Still it's worth a laugh Edit: we were probably looking at Praet not Tielemans and the press don't know shit.

Charley musonda from Chelsea seems to be available on loan. He needs games before the euros, we need a talented midfielder.? Could take Joe coles squad place. The kid is highly rated and could walk straight into our team. Benteke could hav a word.

Can't sign gray as he has already played for Brentford and burnley. Right player wrong time. Next ! Edit just seen HanoiVillan post the same. Ignore

To be fair you never hear much from villa full stop, I actually like the way we go about our transfer business in a quiet and discrete fashion. The first your usually hear is when the we are close to a deal. I agree with the players you suggested. I like the sound of the kid from Walsall, unsure over Naismith's due to how much he would likely cost given he is 29 and would rather replace Sanchez with the $$$ it would take to prise him from the toffees.

Let's hope we can get him fit Asap and maybe he could be our version of Eric Dier going on the descriptions of him.

Cheeky bid for bony

Ok fair enough, I don't know too much about him other than he turned down Chelsea and that big Italian teams and Valencia want him. Just thought he might have something about him.

How about trying to get Andrej Kramaric (on loan?) from Leicester ? Turned down Chelsea for 1st team football but has only played 4 games this season. A different option upfront. Struggling to think of realistic targets for January given our position.

Peter Crouch ????? WTF

Glad to see he is being given another run out rather than being benched as I'm my view it's the only way he will adjust (or not) to the league and build confidence. Only after an extended run of games can a measured judgement of his ability be made.
