villab0y Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 My first post, I was directed here from another forum. My cousin plays for Villa (reserves and sometimes the first team!) and has definatley assured me that Kris Commons is on his way to Villa Park. He occasionaly goes fishing with him and there are plenty of rumours. He texts me quite often with the gossip from the training ground and was the first person to tell me Baros was at the club before he signed. Other names bandied about (by the reserve team, so no definate links) are Bellamy, Richards, Barton and Milner (which should be a definate now) Hmmmm Can't see any truth in this whatsoever...

Rodders Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 a notts forest link, the same club that spawned that scurrilous rumour earlier on about one of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sani Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Commons fat? 169 cm and 61 kgs is all but fat...........and he is a very good player. Not that young though, 23 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 The papers today are reporting our alledged target Alan Smith is opting for a loan move to Bayern Munich over us, the Barcodes and Everton in January... maybe he's the makeweight required for them to sign Hargreaves?? I personally think we should be looking to sign a more 'physical' striker who'd give us presence up front and can hold onto the ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin@villatalk Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 hmmmm I think Alan will stay in England tbh - but i can see why Man U would try and ship him out to Bayern. Defoe want come to midlands - think he loves London and would only leave for one of the top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denaldinho Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well i honestly think there will not be any well known names coming to villa park other then Milner. MON is a Diamond in the Rough manager he likes to find that rare breed of player. So my guess will be the championship or scotland etc abroad i dont know, maybe. Freddy east wood i would like to see play for us defo he could be a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam100 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Toon in for Celtic star Nov 19 2006 By Neil Farrington, The Sunday Sun Newcastle are considering challenging Sunderland and several other English rivals for Celtic star Shaun Maloney. The Scotland international is in a contract stand-off at Parkhead and will be free to talk to other clubs in the New Year. And with little prospect of Celtic agreeing to Maloney's estimated £20,000-a-week wage demands, the pressure will be on them to sell him in January. Maloney's ability to play up front, in the hole or out wide is highly rated by teams South of the border. "Shaun knows Newcastle are interested, as is Roy Keane at Sunderland," a source close to 23-year-old Maloney told the Sunday Sun. Story continues Continue story ADVERTISEMENT "There's been talk of Aston Villa coming in - probably due to Martin O'Neill knowing Shaun from his days at Celtic - but we've heard nothing about that." Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are the latest club to consider taking Newcastle's Albert Luque back to Spain in January. Injuries to Maxi and Martin Petrov have left Atletico short of attacking options and pondering signing Luque, if only on loan. my mate showed me this from newcastles version of the mail, looks as though we might not be interested in maloney after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Craig Bellamy was a big name as was Chris Sutton when he went to Celtic. There will be big names, of that I am sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 No other teams exist to the north east press. Therefore only Sunderland and Newcastle are interested. Maloney must join one of them. As if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 heard over the weekend off a reliable source that the Villa management are seriously running the rule over Robert Earnshaw............... theyve been scouring the lower divisions and have identified Earnshaw, Murray & Curtis Davies as the cream of the championship and poss potential signing. Expect Murray & Earnshaw to join in January to bolster the quad, as both there clubs tend to be selling clubs. Im not sure what to make of the Earnshaw link, but his goalrecord is phenomenal at all the levels hes played, and after watching Angel & Baros the last 12months, hes gotta be able to give us more than those two have. ROBERT EARNSHAW STATS: League Stats / Goals: 196app - 118goals FA Cup Stats / 15app 12goals League Cup Stats / 9app 12goals Other Comp Stats / 5app 1goal worth a punt IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would like at least 1 top,top quality midfielder (Mr. D. Beckham please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Earnshaw is playing for a team with an outside chance of play offs, doubt we'll be able to get him Heard the Davis to Newcastle rumour? Would this be a goer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I cant see MON getting rid of Davis TBH........... i think only Baros will go......... but then again I think MON knows what hes doing............. well wait n see come Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbo9 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 hahhahahaha, i doubt even they would................. to be honest though, hes got a contract till 2009 and I bet hes on decent money, so i think the standard of club who are gonna want him arent gonna b able to pay him............... i reckon weve got another 3 years of him being the stalwart reserve team central midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I think DJDJ will go back to France or to Spain. Hm, I'm on the fence to wether I think Earnshaw is the right player for "the next level", if you see what I mean. If MON thinks he is I guess he is, but I'm not sure MON does.
