Richard...Google, it's a marvellous thing. I found this: Judging by that, he'd be happy to take Bellamy back and Bellamy never had any run ins with him, so he probably wouldn't mind playing for him. O'Leary should set Mellberg on Bellamy if he gets too mouthy.

Solano said Angel and DLC being here was a major factor when he signed for us, it could be the same for other south americans if we bid for them.

We could have easily got Ashton, but O'Leary was too busy sulking, claiming he had no back up target.

Steed Malbranque was brilliant today, as he was in his last game. Just shows that form is temporary, class is permanent.....we should definitely bid for him, he is so much better than any of our current midfielders.

I'm going with Palace. I think Dowie's done a great job. Don't want the Baggies to stay up because they screwed us over twice this season and their fans are thick. Don't want Southampton to stay up because of Rupert Lowe. Norwich because of Delia Smith.

We'll hopefully have a new striker in the summer, which should mean Angel won't be on the pitch to link up with anybody. He's always injured, rarely scores, is a troublemaker, he's south american and lightweight. I think most of you only want him because you've heard he's good or you've seen him on FM. D'Allesandro has nothing to offer us IMO. Nothing like Bowyer. Bowyer plays regulary, hasn't been in trouble for most of his time at Newcastle and most importantly he's proven in The Premiership.

So D'Allesandro is leaving because he's a troublemaker, he rarely plays and when he does play, he's rubbish.....yea lets get him! :roll:

Drat, dig the article out if you want. I said Liverpool were there for the taking and we had a great chance, I didn't say we would beat them, just that we could. Everton have shown that 4th place up for grabs, like I said. *Puts blanket on Drat's cage, tells people to stop rattling it* :wink:

This whole thing started from my article. In which I said Liverpool were there for the taking in the Premiership, which Everton have shown. I was right, I never mentioned how they would do in the Champions League. JC is just getting his fanny in a twist.

How can you laugh at the suggestion of Mellberg, then include DLC? Mellberg hasn't been at HIS best, but he's still been better than most. DLC is only getting picked because he's gone from awful to average, still nowhere near one of our better players. Tommy and Ulises' Moms must post on here. I think McCann was our best player this season, he was playing well up until his injury, which cannot be helped.

Jez You can put that bit about me being your hero in your sig if you want, it might catch on...... Round of applause for me.

Such ashame it takes the rest of you 10 months to catch up. I was saying all this about Angel that long ago. Just like I said Sorensen wasn't in the top 5 'keepers in The Premiership and Liverpool and Newcastle were easily beatable in the race for 4th place....I don't get the credit I deserve.

I think Beasley is going back to America.

Viduka's a great finisher, bit lazy, but he knows where the goal is. He'd be a good signing. Lee Camp has signed a new 3 year deal at Derby, he was supposedly a Villa target.

Dean Ashton. Has 5 goals in 11 games. He's strong, bit slow, but he had a trick to beat a man yesterday. Wouldn't be a bad alternative if we don't end up getting a 'top' striker like Keane, Smith, Yakubu etc.

Van Bommel will join Barca, apparently. It doesn't matter how much money we offer, he'll be off to them.

John Terry. Great leader. He dominates games, he never loses a header. He was brilliant against Bayern in both games, he held them together against Barca. He scores important goals. He is the best defender in europe at the moment. Lampard will win because he scores spectacular goals.

Martin Laursen is supposedly quicker than Rommedahl according to the Denmark coaching staff. He regulary beats Gronkjaer and Rommedahl in races. Laursen is definitely the quickest defender I've seen this season, mainly noticed it when he misjudged a couple of headers against Boro so he had to chase back after the ball.

For certain? I can't see this. They're one of the poorer teams in the 2nd tier. I imagine most of the other teams in the 2nd tier will be in for him.

In an ideal world? Bernard on a free. Parker. Yakubu. Gera. Svensson I'd take Svensson, the ginger one from Southampton. Been out for most of the season, but he'll be cheap if they go down and he's one of the better defenders around.

Nice edit Lancs :wink: JC, it's easy to rubbish all the players we are linked to. 'Malbranque has been poor this season', 'Gera is built up by the tabloids', 'Parker only had half a good season at Charlton', 'Keane is too unpredictable', 'Yakubu was rubbish against us', 'Berger is old', 'Huth is reckless'...these are some of the comments on the site. They are some of the better players in the league, they are all better than Hendrie, Hitz, Berson, Moore, Cole, Ridgewell IMO. In the end we will run out of targets because no player we 'chase' is perfect. I'd say all the players linked so far would be improve the squad. They may be built up by the media, they may have bad patches, they may not destroy Villa, but they're better than what we have.

I know we have signed alot of players depending on how they've played against us, but it's not the best way to do dealings. Rooney was shit against us, I take it nobody would want him at Villa because of this?

Available on a free. He only signed a 6 month contract with Southampton.

Alan Brazil, Mickey Quinn, Thomas Brolin and Jan Molby hopefully. Our team lacks presence.
