FrenchVillaLova Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Abdulkader Keita would be a brilliant signing. Plays as right winger for Lille, available at around £6-7m a realistic target. Quick, strong and very tricky...easily the best right winger in french Ligue1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Unfortunately Keita and Lille are playing Manchester United in the CL in Feb. What chance do we have, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 That Harold Bishop look alike at Charlton has said that Bent aint going anywhere in Jan, when asked about Curbs signing him. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCresswell Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Phillip Bardsley linked in the newspapers today. Another one to file under "Let's hope it isn't true as it's in the newspapers" I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 We are again linked with Keane, this time it states he is the no 1 target for MON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 gareth bale... looks an excellent young player and touted as a superstar... worth a look... I would love Bale. I think that a Barry/Bale combination on the left wing would be great. Man U supposedly in with a £7million bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Its more to a left back then a good left foot though. Would be wicked getting those sorts of talents, but that movie which was linked, aint exactly promoting his qualities at left back IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be wicked getting those sorts of talents, but that movie which was linked, aint exactly promoting his qualities at left back IMO. I didn’t watch the film tbh. I ve seen not that much of him, but I know a few Southampton fans who say he’s great. Its more the combination with Barry that excites me; when Samuel was onform that season, it was the combination with Barry that made it so exciting. They complemented each other. I think Samuel has sadly lost that, and Bouma is just not good enough. It depends on the price, but we have to make a gamble and I think that he will be available....

Guest LennonVanVliet Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 MON was after Bardsley in August, so a loan move may be likely. What is he a right back? We definitely need someone in that position and he is highly rated at Manure. I've also heard that Nugent is a nailed on deal in Jan. If we are following the Spurs route of signing promising British talent, thats ok by me, but I'd also like a few good 27-28 yr olds as well.

Gizmo Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I don't think Darren Bent can keep Charlton up. The only realistic chance of survival they have is cashing in on their only valuable asset and use the money to get a few cheaper players that might keep them up. I'm not saying Villa should get Darren Bent (they might not even want him) but in my opinion, Charlton seriously need to consider selling him.

I'm not saying Villa should get Darren Bent (they might not even want him) but in my opinion, Charlton seriously need to consider selling him. Agree. In January they could hope for £12million or so for him. That could be spent on 4 or 5 new additions (and they need new players all over the park) to keep them up. What happens if they don't sell him and he suffers a loss of form or is injured? I'll tell you what, they're completely **** and they wish they'd sold him in January.

Pelle Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Unfortunately Keita and Lille are playing Manchester United in the CL in Feb. What chance do we have, really? Well, we can always offer him 2 games at OT before Lille gets there and then at least 2 fixtures with them every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 17, 2006 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2006 Just an observation; Tottenhams two goals today both scored by young British players bought from lower leagues I like Tottenhams plan where they bought in Davenport, Huddlestone, Dawson, Lennon, Defoe, Carrick, the Irish fella that's now at Charlton and probably one or two others that I've either forgotten about or that didn't make it. Then started to supplement them with European players. However I do wonder if they got lucky, is there this much talent in the lower leagues at the moment ?

Rocafella Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Don't know about Bardsley, he hasn't excelled at Rangers as expected. He is better than Hughes though, much better at passing the ball and being available for link-ups. He has been nurturing from the imfamous Gary Neville Curtis Davies I am all for; he is strong and a good header, and Wenger wanted him before he got Gallas. Not a bad review.... But Randy Lerner; if you know anything about soccer you should buy David Beckham, or at least make an attempt. He would solve the right-side crisis, the low attendance-crisis, the set-pieces and everything. It has been a long while since we had a real hero at Villa Park.
