sne Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Rather have Heskey back than sign Owen even if it's on a pay as you play contract. Kenwyne Jones could be good for the right money, problem is none of our players can cross the ball Edit: Actually thought he was younger than (almost) 28, so on second thought it's a no for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastVillan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Transfer ITK @ITK_TRANSFER Also hearing Villa have had a bid accepted for a current premier league forward. #avfc If it is Jones then I'd not be too pleased. Living and working a stones throw from the SOL most Sunderland fans think he was lazy as **** and even his managers said it was so hard to motivate him.

honest_bertie Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 i'd be happy with Kenwyne Jones to Villa if it meant a) a deal involving Hutton going the other way and the price was no more than 5/6 mil. When he and Bent played the one season together Bent got 24 goals and I believe when asked who his favourite strike partner has been over the years DB has said Jones. Maybe not the most exciting signing that we might have been hoping for but one that might work on a few different levels and at 5/6 mil that should leave a few more pennies for other areas we need new signings in. At 28 he's still got a couple of good years in him, might have a point to prove, been off the pace for a while some might say but miabe Lambert might be the manager to get him back on track? Dunno, see what happens I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I wouldn't be thrilled with signing jones. If we aren't going to spend enough to bring in proven quality then I'd rather look abroad or in the lower leagues. I don't think Jones would bring much to us, he's not a great goal scorer and since being a hot prospect at Southampton and starting well at Sunderland he's gone downhill. At 28 he's older than I thought he was and I'd much rather look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I reckon it's Shane Long. Just a hunch, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Think this is right the 2009/2010 season. They started 25 league games together scoring 23 goals. Bent 15, Jones 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 urgh. Jones no. Rather re-sign Heskey. Would obviously back Lambert#s judgement, but would have an air of the harewood about it, in spite of all the well wishing, you know he'd be shite and then impossible to get rid of to another club. Overseas or someone else please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevangrealish Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 the price was no more than 5/6 mil. May aswell have stopped there mate. They bought him for 10. Theyre not going to let him go two seasons later for half the price ( and lets be honest its not as if hes doing bad ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It's one rumour, To be honest wouldn't mind him coming, Think if PL could get the best out of him he would be a massive asset to have. I think we need different options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
