Adbo9 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 rite ok, thanks for your sensible reply... hahahah ok, being serious now............ playmakers, noone really stands out apart from the obvious players that wont ever be attracted to villa.......... so youd have to say realistically look at players like Koumas or even abroad for some lesser known players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 19, 2007 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2007 change of subject for a moment, most ppl on here have said we need an attacking centre mid, a playmaker, but who? not many realistic sensible names have been thrown into the hat, so i was wondering who? Pablo Aimar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take that attitude we might as well not bother. We have top people in charge now, we have a big name manager, we have a great stadium and large crowds. Why are so many Villa fans so timid when it comes to signings. I'm one of the "older generation " of Villa fans, but even in our darkest days I don't recall such negative thinking amongst the fans about transfer targets. We should compete for the best if we want to become the best, simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby15 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Aston Villa are eyeing Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster. The Birmingham Mail says there are doubts inside Villa over Thomas Sorensen's ability to dominate his penalty area and manager Martin O'Neill is eyeing alternatives. Villa already have United teammate Phil Bardsley on-loan this season and boss Martin O'Neill has been impressed by Foster's form at Watford. A similar deal at Villa Park could be setup for the England cap in the summer. Clicky Would be quality but tribal football aren't exactly reliable.

Supertone Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I agree with Reo-Coker being a good signing - he has many of the characteristics that we desire in the middle of the park. The only question mark for me is his attitude, based on this season at the Spammers. Last season he looked very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity-Tom Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Me too Wurz although I do think we will be signing a striker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Possibly, although I do think we need to give our new signings time to settle in, they have hardly got mud on their boots and they are coming in for stick, amazing! :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we have constantly been linked with players like Bellamy, Defoe, Keane, Bent etc... suggests to me that we are definitely in the market for another striker. Given that JPA and Sutton will be out come the summer, we could do with one. Nugent would be a good shout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that JPA and Sutton will be out come the summer, we could do with one. Nugent would be a good shout though. yeah, wouldnt say no to nugent and I am a big fan of giving lower division players a chance, but I feel to push us on we need five or six players of the calibre and age bracket of John Carew. Some proven international players all over the pitch to really get us competing. Weve enought potential there now, I think we need some class on the pitch. Personally, Id go for a player like Nicky Hunt at right back, solid performer and good defender, then id break the bank for a topclass centreback, maybe someone like Gabriel Heinze, then a top class box-to-box midfielder like Scott Parker, a Wide Right Player like Shaun Wright-Phillips and a striker in the mould of Jermaine Defoe. the team would be: Gk: Sorensen Dr: Hunt Dl: Bouma Dc: Mellberg Dc: Heinze Rm: SWP Ml: Barry MC: Parker MC: Petrov Str: Carew Str: Defoe Subs: Maloney, Taylor, Young, McCann, Cahill etc........... i think isnt too far off unrealistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablopicasso Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i have a feeling that nugent will be off to everton.... if they can afford him, then he has already stated that he wants to go there as he is an everton fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran84 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i have been saying sign defoe but in luke moore we might just have a player already who is just as good.I hope we sign a centre back and reo coker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity-Tom Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I wouldn't want Hunt either. I doubt Parker will leave Newcastle either but Defoe and SWP are likely targets. Whilst Heinze is a top player, I can't see him staying in England if he leaves Man United. I would be happy with Distin on a free though as a centre back signing.
