OnePablo Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 WTF is the point in having a transfer spec topic less than 48hrs after the last one finished??? (you don't have to read it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was extremely happy with the transfer window arrivals, and believe we now have a squad capable of finishing in the top 10. In the summer we need to stregthen further and I suggest the following: Carson or Gordon Richardson or Adu Barton or Reo Coker Bellamy, Bent, Defoe or Keane If SWP becomes available we should go for him too! Out will go Taylor, Berger, DJDJ, Hendrie, Angel and Sutton Defence however is an interesting one, there are more question marks here than anywhere else in the squad. Laursen - Needs to prove he can get back to full fitness, a solution would be Ben Haim or Distan or a free transfer. Bouma - Needs to prove he has fully adapted to the English game, a solution would be Bridge. Hughes - Just doesn't seem up to the job, but with Delaney on his way in the summer, do we really want to be buying two right backs in the summer?! I'd Give O'halloran a chance, and make the Bardsley signing a permenant deal. I'd sign Bridge, Ben Haim and Luke Young. Out would go Delaney, Hughes, Samuel, Bouma, Laursen This will give us a first team in a 4-3-3 system of: Carson, Young, Bridge, Ben Haim, Mellberg, Barton, Barry, Petrov, Young, Bellamy, Carew and a 2nd team of: Sorenson, Bardsley, Cahill, Ridgewell, O'Halloran, McCann, Davis, Richardson, Maloney, Agbonlahor, Moore Very Strong in my opinion, might be too many changes just for the summer, so some could take in the next january transfer window.

kingrollo Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 A massive fee for a real top quality keeper is my tip , Foster, Gordon or Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 My shopping list for the summer would be: 1.Stephen Appiah(need to get a better CM than Mcann) 2.Morten Gamst Pedersen(Class Winger)left 3.Sylain Distin(Solid..big...experienced CB) 4.Micah Richards(or any other realquality right back...Richards might be too expensive) If we got these...i would be over the moon...wouldn't this be a great summer lads?

nick76 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 still not totally sure about Distin to be honest....and I don't know enough about Appiah to agree or disagree with you, happy with the other two though. Would prefer Gatusso though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 well from what we saw yesterday we know for a MoN team to be successful, we need to have a ready made replacement for Carew, maybe a younger player, anny ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 We should go for a totally insane bid for a world class player that wants to experience the prem. Something mad LIKE Kaka. That would be fun to read even if it wouldn't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I think Hughes, for his versatility and experience is worth keeping. As an impact player Berger may be useful to keep on a 12 month contract. Buying too many players all at once can be unsettling. I would rather sign 4 top quality players and 2 or 3 18/19 year olds for the future. The only players who should be leaving are Hendrie, Sutton, Djemba Djemba, Delaney and maybe JPA and Samuel (although the latter 2 may be worth keeping for another season).

TRL Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 According to what ive heard Villa is having a 13 year old Norwegian training with them. Any rumours regarding this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricella Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 If we could find a new "Vidic" and a new "Vieira" I believe that we could very well challenge for titles next season or at least get a place for Europe. Now we have pace and strength in attack...lets look at the defensive midfielder role and try to get the central defence a little bit tougher and more skillful.

Richard Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 well from what we saw yesterday we know for a MoN team to be successful, we need to have a ready made replacement for Carew, maybe a younger player, anny ideas ? I stillthink he'll move for Nugent in the summer. A replacement for Carew has to be not a big name who will expect to play week in week out For defence, am I right that Woodgate is only on loan at Villaboro?

Woodgate is still only on loan.......... still has fitness issues for me, I don't think he's played that often, top quality when fit though. As for replacing/covering Carew, also depending on his fitness what about Ashton from newly relegated West Ham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Ashton has the potential to be the new Shearer I think. A genuine talent. I would love to sign him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 He may have a relegation release clause in his contract. Most Spammers do it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Darren Bent for me still, he is the best alternative our there for Villa, and he would be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I disagree Rocafella, although I would be delighted with Bent, I think Ashton has more natural talent, more intelligence and the potential to be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriffvilla Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'd love Ashton at the Villa. I'd love Darren Bent as well. I want to form a super-squad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbuchanan Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Woodgate has just signed a permanent deal with Middlesbrough so we can rule him out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I disagree Rocafella, although I would be delighted with Bent, I think Ashton has more natural talent, more intelligence and the potential to be even better. We do however have a target man already in Carew. Neither Carew or Ashton would score 20 goals on a regular basis as Bent would do. He carried out 19 in his first season for Charlton, and was on his way half through this season when he became injured. Imagine him at a better club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 5, 2007 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2007 I disagree Rocafella, although I would be delighted with Bent, I think Ashton has more natural talent, more intelligence and the potential to be even better. I agree with you although I think Bent will always score more goals without contributing anything else. Bent is the 'Ian Wright' where Ashton is more rounded. I'd love to have either, or both.
