I have it on good authority that we will be making a surprise bid to Corinthians for Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. He may be 33 but he has 415 career goals from 606 appearances. Despite being in the shape of his life, he is due to retire in 2011.

I would be devastated if we signed Robbie Keane. Hated him for years at spurs, overrated, no real step up in quality. i dont want to be proved wrong. Same goes for C. Cole, does no-one remember what he was like at Villa?! dreadful. (maybe we could pinch berbatov for 2/3 mil, probably around what he's worth these days.) Gotta sell/get rid of Sidders, Shorey, Heskey, Beye, Bouma, perhaps a few more. Not sure I agree about C.Davies because Ricky D and Jimmy C's form really dipped toward the end of the season and Curtis has played very well for us in the past. I suppose now we have Carlos we are fairly well covered. Must endeavour to keep Milner and Young but if the right price is offered... we could really improve our squad- if we trust MON to buy well. Which frankly he has only done 50% of the time, at most. Wouldn't mind seeing Bellamy and others of that ilk but wage/transfer demands make that highly unlikely. Basically I predict a depressing summer. England out by QF's, Villa offer Sidders a new contract and pay 12 mil for C.Cole. who then gets 6 goals all season.

Our opener was initially the least celebrated goal i've ever witnessed. where we were sitting no-one had a clue what had happened, comical. Thought villa were great tonight. I was particularly impressed by Downing, who I've been slating of late. actually looked up for it today which was nice to see. Essentially we did exactly what we needed to, I think most would have said that was a must-winner if we are to retain interest in the league. Milner was outstanding. Our fans were typically loud and boisterous despite the very very poor wigan attendance, I bumped into a load of blackburn fans who were going to it in the wigan end for free.... very strange. Anyway, more of that please!
