NurembergVillan Posted July 5, 2007 Moderator Posted July 5, 2007 OK, a simple question and not a transfer speculation thread - who will we sign next?
trekka Posted July 5, 2007 VT Supporter Posted July 5, 2007 I personally think we may be in for a few surprises. I think we pulled a surprise or two out of the hat in January and so there's no reason why we aren't close to signing anyone that we've been very canny about and one that hasn't been disclosed to the press (which is a good thing!).
nrogers Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Wesley Sneijde would be the right answer.... but it wont be... it will probably be Marlon Dingle, I mean Harewood. :roll:
OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2007 Moderator Posted July 5, 2007 I want SWP. Gabby, Ash and SWP would strike fear into defenders across the country. Stick a great big chunk of John Carew in the middle and they won't know if it's tulips or Tuesday !
Derryvillan Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Wesley Sneijde would be the right answer.... but it wont be... it will probably be Marlon Dingle, I mean Harewood. :roll: No need for the Sneijde remark Nick. :winkold:
cyrusr Posted July 5, 2007 VT Supporter Posted July 5, 2007 SWP. Malouda deal seems to be nearing so means SWP will be shown the door straight into our nice new training ground 8)
kkr Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 SWP. Malouda deal seems to be nearing so means SWP will be shown the door straight into our nice new training ground 8) That is how i see it playing out also.
VillaN.I Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I get the feeling Bellamy will be in MON's sight next as Rafa B said he is for sale and Crouch is going nowhere.
terrytini Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Bellamy - definitely not wanted at scouseland, a pretty good scoring record (better than SWP and comparable to Defoe), and can play in a 5 man midfield with Ashley/Petrov/RC and Barry, or in a two up front with Carew - SWP is too similar to Ashley (and Maloney)
terrytini Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Also there was that quote from Barry a couple of weeks back - the only time we've done that
sam100 Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Sneijder for me, with SWP a close second but i'd be more than happy with any of them bar Harewood (who i probably wouldn't mind that much if he was our 6th or 7th signing, as a replacemnt for Sutton) edit: oops i read the question wrong, i thought it was who would you want us to sign next. Not a clue who our next signing will be, Jaaskelainen maybe
AVFC_Rock Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Luke Young, or another defender. Getting rid of JLS and AH we are in need of cover, if not quality...
Grant(aka_eddy) Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I think it will be a right back. That is currently our weakest area with only Mark Delaney a specialist in the position...... and he is made from twigs and spittle.
JulieB Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Although we may well nab SWP, apart from MON's statement that he wanted to come on loan in January, we have nothing concrete to say he wants to move to Villa on a permanent deal. My money is on Jussi cos he's made no secret of the fact via his agent that he would love to come and play for the club
sheriffvilla Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I selected SWP but you know, thinking about it that is probably more who I want to come next rather than who I think. It will probably be a less spectacular signing like Young or Jaaskelainen. The latter, by the way, would not be a 'bums on seats' player but would would be a cracking signing, IMO. I can't believe anyone has selected no more unless it was a) by accident or a deliberate attempt to antagonise. If it's your genuine belief, you need your head looked at, seriously.
avsteve Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I went for SWP. I hope it's not just wishful thinking.
remotevillan Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Basking in all the optimism of our classy new signing, I'll go for SWP. Why not? He'd be good for us and we'd be good for him. I hope our next one will be the opposite of the NRC saga. Reported, done and dusted within 24 hours. We deserve a couple of them after what we've endured, even if he is worth the wait!
