BOF Posted May 11, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2010 My hunch not ITK Richards Man City or the Bulgarian full back we went in for before Young PSV Eindhoven's Stanislav Manolev. Has a few suitors around Yurp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know he won't go nowhere near him but we should enquire about Edin Dzeko of Wolfsburg as a striker perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yossi Benayoun please...very very underated. Always thought he would be a very good signing, but not so sure about him now. How old is he? Would he be a very good squad player or starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted May 11, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know he won't go nowhere near him but we should enquire about Edin Dzeko of Wolfsburg as a striker perhaps? Not a chance IMO!

Jasevilla Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Jermaine Beckford could be a good shout. from what i've seen of him seems to be pretty good. Good shout,have been on about him myself but,spurs and a couple more are on the case.Bright lights of brum or london and champs league,dont think he would come or out bid spurs at the moment. I'm not always right though,ask my misses. But she's a woman,what do they know. :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Richards is a good shout, he's lost his way at Citeh and they seem to be buying Boateng to replace him. Benayoun would be good but I'd prefer someone younger, Doyle I think can score buckets with us. Immense in the air and actually moves in the box. Dorrans would be an upgrade from Sidwell and young enough to become a first teamer, Parker is too old. Think we'll see Boyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'd definitely go in for Benayoun, he runs at players and actually goes past them, opening space up for other. Exactly what we need at times.

BOF Posted May 11, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah I think Richards is very realistic. He has certainly lost his way at Citeh and MON is a long term admirer. appy arry is sniffing around Yossi so he'd probably choose Spurs. I think Doyle would be an excellent replacement for Heskey as he'd do all the things (like, y'know, score goals) that Heskey doesn't do while still doing the things Heskey does (on occasion). Doyle is also better in the air than Heskey and braver. But he'd be another 8 figure signing. Dorrans is unproven and would be over-valued. Don't forget we have Delph still to come in as a (considerable) Sidwell upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanscott Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Owen? :shock: I'd honestly rather someone who was MORE fit than Carew, not less. I don't know, I'm thinking Owen, Santa Cruz, Gabby, Fonz and possibly Heskey/Carew would give us pretty impressive options, allowing us to accomodate Owen's inevitable injuries. Only if Owen if free though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus...Owen is injury prone and not value for money. Santa Cruz is just shite and more lazy than Berbatov! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if Owen if free though. But Owen is basically never 100%. You'd be buying a guaranteed sicknote who you'd be trying to accommodate on the rare ocassions when he's not crocked, breaking up the front line in the process. I think you'd have to go a long way to find a worse signing. And I'd take Doyle over RSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Unless Manure decide to cut their losses and ship out Berbatov I don't think many strikers will be leaving their respective clubs that are worth buying, so Doyle or Rodallega would be our realistic choices IMO.

You might have a point there but I'm not sure if RSC has been injured a lot or just not in the team? I think he would be excellent if he got a good run of games, a mixture of strength and finesse. Anyway, Owen and RSC would only be replacing, possibly even adding to, 2 other injury prone players in Carew and Heskey, so I don't think it'd be bad at all.

Houlston Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Although we have decent wide players I'd quite like to see Nzogbia in a Villa shirt. Benayoun, Ireland, Boateng (not the Hull one) would be decent signings. Doyle is probably likely, again decent player but hardly gets my heart rate going, but then to be honest I think the players we could get or will get probably wont be that type of marquee signing. If we had loads to find a decent striker I'd love to see us break the bank for Suarez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottenM Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Using a method of young English "talent" at lesser clubs as favored by M'oN i present to you his shortlist... Jamie O'Hara (i realize he is a Spurs player but, whatever...) Mark Cullen Chris Eagles Danny Fox (Scottish i know, but did play for Celtic so...) Carlton Cole Mark Noble Freddie Sears James Tomkins Zavon Hines Junior Stanislas Victor Moses Matthew Jarvis Michael Kightly Gary Cahill (what?!) Fabrice Muamba Mark Davies Fraizer Campbell Jordan Henderson Lee Cattermole Martyn Waghorn Ryan Shawcross Phil Jones Steven Taylor Andy Carroll I give you a Rafa style guarantee that we will sign one of the above, i would hapilly have Cattermole, Noble, Shawcross and Moses out of that lot. Also our annual player from the Scottish league will be Kris Boyd. And the M'oN Joker signing this year nobody knows, i'm gonna pick a random Dutch player in David Mendes da Silva. Cos we need a holding midfielder, and he can also play right back A couple of other potential signings i believe are Joe Cole and Michael Carrick. My two cents ended up as more like a Nickel, sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTERYMAN Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Re strikers : We lost Sturridge because of the money he was offered at Chelsea and we thought we were well on the way to him signing I know his dad had been to Villa on a number of occassions as a Guest and it was at one time pretty close . Re Boyd Villa believe it or not were unaware he was at Villa the night of the Blackburn game yet I am told by a Box Holder who had moved to the Sky Lounge for the night that Boyd was with his agent in the Sky balcony in Trinity Road . Villa are saying they were not aware he was there :?: Delfounso will get far more game time next year and Weimann is very well thought of but only as a bit part player maybe get at best sub in a few games unless we reach Euro Group stages then he might get a game.
