mattley

Has been mentioned mattley, with much better spelling too

Its been a long day!!!!!!

my bad :oops:

Sorry if this has already been covered by Silvan Dostan has left Man City, aparently talking to Pompey and goping on a FREE.

Wouldnt mind it if we tried to sign him, would you?

The quality that is the NOTW is linking us with:

Defoe, Nugent "& Arthur Boruc today

You're telling me that of all the soccer sites in the world, there's not a single one dedicated to transfer window speculation?

:winkold:

My favourite player for long periods.....

Hero in my eyes and a great guy

No if's not buts:

Olly & Laursen

Mido???Awful lazy player often recieving red cards!Keane didn't play yesterday :idea: Who knows:)

My mistake he played but we can still sign him

edit: removed

take it with a large pinch of salt (try a decanters worth) but a bloke at my work (who supports Walsall) reckons

that this week Robbie Keane had been seen down Villa Park.

Even though its more than likely bull, he's a player I could always imagine in a Villa shirt........

I can't see Spurs letting him go in January unless they have an instant replacement lined up. That would leave them with Defoe, Berbatov & Mido up front (unless I'm forgetting someone) and Mido has been linked with a move away this window also.

Well with Spurzzzzz reportedly entering the race for St Etienne striker Frederic Piquionne who knows hey?!??!?!?!?

we missed a trick with Lauren

he could have played on the right of midfield as well if needed

Totally agree, Lauren would have been a very good signing for us.

Shame!

I'd love to see Barton at Villa, £5.5million is peanuts for a player of his quality.

Yah Id love to see him in our team too. Cant see him going for £5.5 mill though, thats just the fee someone would need to pay to activate the clause in his contract, I think the fee would be higher. Probably closer to £7-£8mill when you consider whats Young has been valued at!!!

Any news today in the newspapers or is it still worryingly quiet?

..... its between wham and spurs for young aparantly, hope not we should be in on that deal i think!

Yeah would like to sign Young, just 8mill is a bit over priced in my eyes. Id say closer to 6mill.

Players getting over priced again, typical of the Jan window

i would love, parker, bridge, g johnson, milner and ashton....

Doubt the barcodes would let Parker go, and im sure Glen Johnson is on a season long loan at Portsmouth so would Chelsea really be able to sell?

Id be happy getting in:

Milner

Bridge

SWP

+ a striker

Those additions would give us some pace and even more stability at the back plus some more goal pwoer

I think I read somewhere that a guy from the forum had been told be his broker that Lerner had already attained the needed percentage of shares?!?!?

Also, someone has just bought 1 share....why?

Villa Park is Villa Park.

Its where Aston Villa play and I dont want it changed

There are plenty of other ways to gain commercial sponsorship without re-naming the stadium

Do we know what %age Lerner is at right now. Im not a shareholder but was wondering if its possible to find out how many people have agreed to sell their shares?

Its turned my hangover monday into THE BEST DAY EVER

its just all getting boring now TBH, im sick to the back teeth of all this TO crap, just wish it would get sorted.

Weren't the AV06 consortium meant to be having meetings with the board and with Rothschilds early this week? Im sure i remember NP saying so in his FiveLive interview last week????

I honestly donmt think we'll hear anything until the takeover has been agreed, or when Villa say somethging to the LSE becuase I fear media attention will start to drop off now

Nothing you dont know already Jez

Nothing new since Doug on SSN yesterday really

Cheers Bicks, the SSN interview where Doug basicly said he was going to sell in next couple of weeks?

This interview relaxed me about the TO becuase its pretty good to hear Doug come out and activly say 'yes I want to sell' again, especially after the last few weeks and to hear he is in ongoing negotiations.

Im not a hige fan of the bloke but im pretty sure he was telling the truth there, and that he defo wants to sell which has got to be like music to the ears of fans and potential buyers.

I dont think he was there at all but he would have been definately keeping a watch on the developments just like the other consortiums.

Hopefully Lerner has seen how passionate we are about our football and more importantly about our club

Macho Man Randy Lerner says "SELL ME VILLA NOW!"

quality Lex!

oooooooohhhhhhh yeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Look, its over, you can relax. Martin O'Neill would only join if randy Lerner was the guvnor.

PB, i hope to god your right

Come in Mr Lerner...............proceed with the takeover

that earlier this morning Mr. Lerner's plane touched down at Luton

Lets pray to god that he was here and he was in talks to buy us out. And that those talks went well and he is heading home 100% sure that he wants to buy AVFC

None of them seem very likely to me, when MON wasnt even talking to Ellis two days ago and was reported to be furious with him, and when MON turned down no fewer than 2 deadlines from Doug to sign, the latest of which was Wednesday night, and when the negotiations for his contract had to be handled via a third party for fear of fruthber leaks to the media if ellis continued to handle them

Are we 100% sure on this or are we basing our comments on media speculation and rumour? I never heard any quotes from MON saying he was 'furious' with Ellis?

Dont get me wrong im far from pro Ellis, its just im so worn down by being excited then being let down over the past sevceral weeks that im basically questioning anything I read or hear about the TO etc

I agree...... I cannot believe that O'Neill would work under Ellis for any length of time.

But the sad fact is that HE IS!!! :shock:

How do we know this?

Because ellis is still in charge and ellis is still the chairman (crys as he writes that :cry: )
