    Sunderland have just lost a lump up front. I don't think Bruce's plan is to replace him with a quick kid who's had little first team experience. Heskey could still well be in his sights. Also, I would love to see an ITK-off between MM and Gazton.

    At least Sven is a bigger name than Bob Bradley or Gareth Southgate. Regardless of what people think of him, with him as manager we would have a bigger pull to get some bigger names.

    Exactly. So even more sense. How many deals do people think will get done tomorrow? Everyone will want their targets in for the first game of the season. Hopefully it'll be an interesting day of activity.

    Heskey rumour would make sense, now that they have lost Jones to Stoke. Get a big man in to play alongside Bent/Campbell, Heskey is English so would mould easier. I could see it happening. And wasn't he under Bruce at Blues?

    MacDonald odds have been shortened to 15/2 on Skybet. Now third favourite behind Sven (odds on) and Bradley.

    Apparently, it's definitely orange ! McLeish?

    Or it could have been that it was being drawn up before hand, and the board accepted it because they had faith in O'Neill and his opinions on the youngsters. We'll probably never know. But it's good that we're getting more players from the youth team into the senior squad. I do hope they all make the grade.

    Who would have offered him this deal?
  9. heystally!
    He will sign his son and start him every game no matter how shit he is. Bobby Robson is going to sign Bryan Robson for the Villa?

    I think he'd be great for us too. Good post.

    Personally I'm not too bothered about managers on the touchlines. Yes it was great to see O'Neill kicking every ball and celebrating like a jack-in-the-box, but the important thing is results. If the players get the message, the team are playing well, and we're making progress, then our manager could be asleep in the dugout for all I care.

    Emile gives the team great options. He has the orange flavour, mint, and regular. All the other players say he makes great hot chocolate. Racist.

    Sven likes a Brazilian. Apparently. Problem solved. I'm sure he could shave some off the wage budget too. I got that mate, not sure if anyone else did though! :wink: You got a Brazilian? Brave.

    A little thing called rotation, though I grant you it's understandable as a fellow Villa fan, you wouldn't have heard that term recently. Either way, wouldn't we have Delph available in that kind of area, when he's fit anyway? Yep. I think if we had Petrov, Ireland, Reo-Coker and Delph as our four central midfielders then we'd have some good options for the season. Probably keep Sidwell til January until Delph is fit again. Then you could also use Young or Downing (or Ireland too) in the number 10 role if we were going to play five in midfield.

    This would be the second best news this summer if that happened. With the best news being that Ireland is on the way here, of course...
  17. heystally!
    As long as we sign a Brazilian player, I don't care what happens next.
  18. heystally!
    No doubt the wages wouldn't be an issue. I couldn't see Lerner or a new manager paying him more than £10k or £15k per week. And maybe they'd actually play him. But I think Championship clubs get hit harder when a star leaves compared to Prem clubs. So I think we'd be looking at £7-8m at least. Ashley Young cost us close to £10m when he was the same age. But he looks a decent talent. Maybe not needed should Ireland join though. That would be great. All that would leave would be using the Milner money to bid for Huntelaar.
  19. heystally!
    I think it's just the fact that he kind of looks like a paedophile.
  20. heystally!
    Why wouldn't he cost too much? He's probably Reading's best player, and they have playoff ambitions this year. And they are hardly in the Portsmouth/Cardiff/Sheffield Wednesday predicament at the moment.
  21. heystally!
    Let's wait and see what happens Saturday. If any of the names being mentioned here are at the game, it might give us a better indication of who we can expect.
  22. heystally!
    It would be easy to take it with a pinch of salt, if it wasn't for the fact that when I went to work, Sven was 8/1 with Skybet. I've come home and it's now 4/5. And as far as I can see, there's no media story that has come out to justify the increased betting activity.
  23. heystally!
    It's kind of worrying that there seems to be some movement on this amongst the bookies. I'd be quite disappointed in getting Sven, but like anyone else I'd give him a chance. After all, he did bring in some pretty decent players to Man City in his single year there, and took them into Europe.
  24. heystally!
    Skybet have Sven 4/5 odds on favourite. Skybet
  25. heystally!
    Those last couple would be straight swaps, yes?
