Mazrim Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Perhaps it was just 5% of Darren Bent as the other 95% is signing for Spurs....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 If Totus Bramble is to be one of our first summer signings, I do not think he will be announced on his own. I think it will be alongside another player, possibly two. I can imagine the press conference. MON: "Esteemed members of the press, fans, board members. I would like to welcome our two new signings, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Ronaldinho. Oh and by the way, we got Titus Shambles too. That will be all." MON beats a hasty exit from the press conference leaving everyone stunned and bemused as Shambles trips over the table and spills his water. Can't really see it happening, can you? Ronaldinho and Huntelaar signing?! No. I can't believe I just read the last 23 pages that I had missed from last night, and the biggest link is to Titus Bramble!! Why do I bother?! There was that more 'official' link, if you like, to Joey Barton, and he would be a FANTASTIC signing! Get him in MON. Pass, shoot, tackles, has fight in him - would be a crowd favourite IMO.

MrT Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Clubs can agree deals outside the windows, but the players can't train or move to the clubs til the window opens e.g. Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson - ManUre, Muntary - Pompey, Samuel - Bolton, Toni - Bayern, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.Smalljob Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I hope you are all sitting down because I've just been told, by a normally reliable source, that we are currently holding talks with Titus Bramble :shock: Oh jesus god no! If Mon wants him..... Whacha gonna do? Not give him a chance, he might be good? Or just not support Villa.... remember this post? well i did :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 So you were told Bent is in Mere Green. You didn't actually see him yourself? A few of the lads in my office went over there for lunch and they saw him. They are dirty noses and came back going mad about it. Obviously I knew i'd get abused for posting it but....bovvered. I'm not abusing you. I just wanted to know if you saw him or somebody else did. Not you mate, but wait for school to finish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V111A Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Without the if and buts would you take Barton for 5.5million... Yes or No..... a Yes from me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Villa linked with Finnan raid May 31, 2007 Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill is reportedly interesting in pinching Irish full back Steve Finnan from Liverpool. Finnan is on the verge of agreeing a new contract at Anfield after helping the Reds to last week’s Uefa Champions League final. However, manager Rafa Benitez has already signed a potential replacement for the 31-year-old defender in the shape of Alvaro Arbeloa - and rumours continue to link the Spaniard with a big-money move for Sevilla’s brilliant Brazilian Daniel Alves. And that has prompted O’Neill to intervene with an offer to take the former Fulham star to Villa Park. Thursday’s Irish Sun reports that the Villa chief is willing to splash out €3.8m, or approximately St£2.5m, to land the Irish star this summer. http://www.eleven-a-side.com/acrossthewater/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=27943 Would really welcome this signing. He sets up so many of Liverpool's goals, aswel as being a very good defender! Older than I thought, but for that kinda money, I'd take him. There's a reason why he is normally one of the most expensive defenders on fantasy premierleague!! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the player’s registration does not effect where they can train or if they can play in friendly matches as it only affects them appearing in competitive games. Or so I understand?

Spoony Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Finnan would be an awesome signing but i think there is very little in this If we sign Bramble i will be very embarrased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ah the man Liverpool fans claim are as good as Gary Neville and the most under-rated player in the Premiership. I differ to that claim though, but he is one very good right back and would suit us perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Not a massive Finnan fan, but at £2.5mil he would be a good buy. Ideally we would also sign another right back for competition with him then, perhaps a youngster and see the back of hughes, most likely to fulham for a mil.

JB Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Didn't realise Finnan was so old. A class and under-rated, if unspectacular player. Whilst I'd welcome him with open arms, i have a natural aversion to us signing players from Liverpool. I'm sick of the arrogant Scousers going on about us taking their cast offs!

deaceydeaceyaggro Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Finnan would be an awesome signing but i think there is very little in this If we sign Bramble i will be very embarrased Finnan's too old. Bramble is complete garbage. If we sign the latter then maybe we don't have as much money as we thought we had. I think both stories are rubbish anyway (he's says in hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
