mansonAVFC Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 What about someone like Wes Brown from Man USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoat Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Personally I think we need a left back as Samuel defensively is a major weakness in the team. Either that or let Barry play there again. As for strikers I think Baros could be a better signing than Miccoli simply because he has the experience and power for our league whereas Miccoli is a midget though strong with it.

olivilla Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Wes Brown is right sided and they probably wouldn't let him go either, good player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoat Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 There's no way Man U would let Brown go as he provides cover across the complete back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hasn't he been linked with us before? Hasn't his Manure career been questioned before? Think he would be a good addition as a central defender, but I'd rather see a central defender able to play to the left too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCresswell Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 With Marcus Bent on his way out to Charlton, and us desperate for a striker I wouldn't mind him and he'd be cheaper than /baros meaning Doug can have some more money for his medical bills.

SoccerHQ Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Everton would be stupid to get rid of bent- scored for them today. If we did sign him, at least then we'd have a forward who know's how to play in a 4-5-1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villafan306 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 We should go for Fryatt and Bent if we don't get Baros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mansonAVFC Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Fryatt, Rasiak and Lescott thats who I'd go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 saw Fryatt in the U19 games and looks a very good prospect for one million and for the future an excellent choice. However we need a fix now and not for the long term and we have to get someone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daholteend Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Fryatt's price tag is going to run between 500,000 to 1.5M . It could be better if Doug (what a joke) asks Merson for a discount and Merson has a sense of humour Hoddle has said that Lescott is not for sale and has turned down offers in the 5M region. All that means is that Hoddle wants to keep the lad and may have to resign himself to selling him for 6 or 7 I can also see some one saying "Well isn't that nice young "boy" Liam playing well at the moment ?" which in Dougspeak means " I would rather go with some one from the academy than spend any money at all" So already we are up to 7.5M for two unproven players in the Prem.... These two purchases alone would seem to go against DOL's grain and Dougs "If I can't get a discount , I am not paying" mentality. Fryatt for the money is a no brainer. Lescott raises a question, If Villa valued Distin , a proven player at 6M, why would Villa pay more for an unproven one ? Fryatt's agent's are in Lichfield, not a stone throw from Little Aston. The chauffeur could drive by their offices hand over a nice cheque and at the same time hop over to Bescott in time to take Matty to Bodymoor Heath to get in a couple of hours practice before setting off for the Portsmouth game. Oh how easy it is from my armchair LOL :roll: We all know that these two would fit into Villa perfectly since they are both locally grown products and have talent. The only three people that can't see this would be HDE, SS and DOL . After the stumbling and bumbling is done this week, I would consider it a divine miracle if either one of these two ends up at Villa Park. I will be watching closely but I am not expecting any Thunderbolts to strike the ground at B6 this week Are you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 23, 2005 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2005 Denilson has just gone on loan from Betis to Bordeaux. I love this player and although he hasn't lived up to his billing when he first moved to Betis, would surely have improved us greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafan306 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Maybe we can sign another Liverpool striker - Cisse? That's if Ellis has a spare £14m lying around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Jefferson Farfan or maybe Sparta's (The Dutch ones) number 10... cant remember his name, but both play as attacking/creative and are bloody good from what ive seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 My suggestions (no links with reality whatsoever). Btw I have little knowledge of the overseas leagues and more importantly dont play CM :? GK. Kiely ( I think DOL will stick with Tommy S) Defence. O'Shea, Clement, Kronkamp ( all doubtful ) Midfield. Van Bommel, Parker, Hargreaves, Petrov ( Parker and Petrov first choice and more likely than the other 2 ). Take Berger to replace Hitz. Winger/Creative. Boa Morte, Saviola, Van Der Vaart ( none likely) Striker. Baros, Yakubu, Oliveira ( Probably none of these either ) I suspect a summer of and the excuse that we couldn't get the players the manager wanted so we'll bide our time I congratulate Bully on being the first poster to suggest Baros!
