Is Clark not suspended?...

I would go for .....

..........................Guzan.........................

.................Vlaar...........Baker...............

Lowton........................................Lichaj

.............Herd.....................Delph..........

N'Zogbia.............KEA................Ireland

..........................Bent............................

Good opportunity to drop Given, give him a kick up the arse. Mind you it is against his old club.

Got an awful feeling we'll be trotting out the 'we tried, but we ran out of time' line of bullshit come Saturday am

We've had all **** summer to get folks in and now with less than 24 hours to go we're up shit creek

And we'll probably end up panic signing some turd like Doyle for 8m or something equally daft because of it

I am going to bed and I will dream that tomorrow we complete the signings of

Christian Benteke......£7m

Jordan Bowery...........£600k

Charlie Adams...........£5.5m

Yossi Beneyoun.........Season Loan

Emmanuel Frimpong.....Season Loan

**** I would be happy with that.

From what I have unfortunately read over the past 600 odd pages is that nobody is the wiser about any transactions we will be making over the coming days. Nobody on VT can even confirm what positions we are looking at. Personally I would get shod of Given on his £70kpw.

But the gist over the last week from VTers is .......

Left back..... Olson/Bennett/Cresswell

Centre back.... Douglas/Dawson

Defensive mid....Frimpong/Huddlestone

Midfield...Adam/Brahimi/Beneyoun/Ince/Phillips

Strikers....Sturridge/Bendtner/Keisling/Defoe/Doyle

Did I miss anyone.

Most of these players would improve us. But I feel we need a real midfield destroyer so the attackers can focus on attacking.

Etienne Capoue from Toulouse is one of the best in the business.

This is the sort of understated signing I hope we make in the next few days

£6million for adebayor is a steal. If spur can afford him, we can.

Maybe Ba for £6million instead.

Or Kaka on loan.

Get adeybayor on loan from city....sorted.

I think we have nicked enough shite off rangers.

Be a while before rangers have anything worth nicking as well

A few seasons ago against the scum we came out to Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros.

It was sensational.

Goosebump city. Someone please attach clicky as never learned how

Next step: Galactic Scouting.

Yeah, we should definitely start scouting Omicron Persei 8.

Not too many from that quadrant can play left back

He can also run off the ball, into space and dangerous areas which most of our team cannot.

Irrelevant as he has gone to sociadad, where he excelled last season.

Just saying this is the type of player I feel we should be going for

He can also pass and score

If you're going to look at Chamakh you may aswell look at N'Gog

We shouldve been in for Carlos Vela, He can play wide as he did brilliantly last season. He's got technique and guile which we are sorely lacking at the mo.

We are going to need a few loans in to fill up this squad. Missed out on Lakaku to WBA. Frimpong might be another

Why are man city selling him?

He's 20 and is currently behind 4 other strikers. He's good but still unproven at Premier League level in comparison to Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Dzeko. Man City may not be happy to sell but Guidetti no matter how good he is, is facing the possibility of being a bench warmer at City for another 2-3 years which he may not want.

Wouldn't they be better off loaning him again? I'm sure there would be a number of good clubs willing to take him on loan after the season he had in the Netherlands.

Seems like they would be silly to sell him so soon, can't see it myself.

Don't forget Adeybayor who is available on a free aparently!

Welcome Ron

I love lamp

Fletcher is a good striker, and his movement is excellent considering the balls that were played to him over the past few years at the wolves/ burnley.

Final offer Jez........£6 million + the Fonz.

Take it or leave it

Keoman, De Boer, Stam......they've had a few good ones

And Vlaar!!!!!!!!

Always seem to say it like William Shatner.......Khan!!!!!!!!

Daniel Rose sucks the sweat of a dead man's balls.

Parker got the armband so the international press could understand the post match interviews

That Ajax game was one of my favourite matches at VP in recent years. Midweek under flood lights, the crowd were bonkers.

The winner of the Europa League should get a champions league spot.

Teams would take it a lot more seriously then.

Fitting reward for an extra seventeen matches.

Get Hoilett

Failing Ireland as 'vice' captain, buy samba or Hangeland

Ireland playing international football has nothing to do with his grannies or miscarriages. But rather while away on international duty he was held down by four international team mates and his hair plugs were ripped out of his bleeding scalp, personally can't blame him for not going back.

It's quite embarrassing that we have no leaders left.

Someone said earlier they didn't like keepers as captains- tell that to the two European finalists. Given has bags of experience but can't even organise his own defence most of the time. Esp. At set pieces.

Ireland is a good shout, might mature the boy. Lead by example.

Buying it.

With Frimpong on the back!!!

From todays express and star

Former Braga boss Domingos Paciencia has emerged as one of the candidates to have expressed an interest in the vacant Aston Villa manager’s job.

The 43-year-old led Braga to the 2011 Europa League final and was most recently in charge of Sporting Lisbon but was sacked by them in February after they fell well behind Benfica in the Portuguese title race.

Paciencia appeared to fit the young and hungry manager profile Villa are looking for and his coaching credentials were recommended to Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner who agreed to consider his application for the job.

However, it is understood by the Express & Star that Paciencia, who managed Porto’s B team while Jose Mourinho was in charge of the club, is some way down the list of prospective replacements for Alex McLeish.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains the favourite for the position and the odds on him taking over at Villa Park tumbled to around 1/8 last night amid rumours on Twitter that the Norwegian had been appointed by the club.
