Yes I guess so, I just thought of Petrov in an "all action role" getting up and down the park. He can do the job, but I think you just lose a bit from his game if he sits anchoring midfield. I guess Davis could come in to do Petrov's role if it came to it.

Petrov would be wasted playing a DM style role

Not if we got Totti in front of him. :wink: Or someone like him.

i'd like to see us play 2 DM's, 2 wingers and 2 forwards. The DM's can then take it in turn top cover, like cambiasso and viera at Inter.

Were you purposly trying to get me over excited ,hehe

Almost like a 4-2-4 style formation so to speak ??

I'd say he was over rated and past it, and not the sort of player we need.

Indeed. Although someone in his mould but better who runs around all day, tackles hard and well, and is generally a bit nasty would be lovely. Nobody young enough or available enough springs to mind though. Even Martin and Randy couldn't bring Gattuso could they?

Now there's a thought. He'd take some prising away from Citeh, where he is treated like a God, though.

I'd love it. Don't think they can but he's the kind of big name that I wouldn't be too surprised to see next summer. If you can see the difference. Gattuso that is, not Savage. :?

Papa Bouba Diop?

I thought that "The Porndrome" was nearer than Villa Park is to his parents' home.

I'm happy to accept anyone Martin wants to bring in. But, I would not say no to going the Spurs route by bringing the best young English talent into the club, such as Barnes from Derby, Bale from Southampton and Murray from Wolves.

Up front you get what you pay for, I would be happy with any two from Keane, Defoe and Bent, I also like the look of Nugent and Eastwood does score for fun, but so did Guy Whittingham before he joined us.

Pedantic hat on...

Bale's Welsh isn't he?

...and off again.

You're right though John. I'd add Ashley Young of Watford to that list
