January Transfer Window Talk 5

Kevin McDonald from Dundee (Lol)

Are we mad or sad on here? Is there any other site that attracts the amount of posts we generate? UTV

another straight swap david nugent for jpa

well this is the best Villa site ive been on. In your face Holte Enders

Pongo - have a look on the Watford site, their one member must have been dying of lonliness until us Villa fans turned up.

bugger tottenham have scored i hope they don't win coz lemonhead's gonna be unbearable

good idea or maybe an adopted Villa fan

fingers crossed lads

yea that would be nice having the real Lennon play for Villa him and Gabby would be great together

hitzlesperger any one ?

hitzlesbeger sd that 1 day he may come back hopefully his the 1 mon is after he is a fans favorite, BAROS hasnt even mad the bench for the lyon game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he has and his playin now his number 7 big thigs ahead for him maybe

great if we can we sign Hitz I cant believe he wasn't givern a new contract

Zoltan Gera from West Bromwich Albion. Perhaps not the eye-opening signing that the Carew and Young deals were, but I really believe that this guy could do a good job for us.

The Tainio rumor never came to fruition, I still think another "powerhouse" midfielder would complete the squad this side of the transfer window.

Go on James put in a transfer request to Shepherdellis the big bald fatty

Chant of the night..." Two nil and you f***ed it up, two nil and you f***ed it up".Deary me OAL must be crying in his fruitshoot by now. Ya never know Arsenal might only play half their first team in the second leg.I reckon sidwell, maloney would be good shouts but really whoever comes will make us stronger.

One love - the problem with that chant is that it reminds me of the time we stuffed up against small heath. Only just got out of councilling too.

Pongo that spurs thread is quality it could even pass as therapy. Apparently they have decided the under 10's will finish the job off.

It was a dissapointing night for every spurs fan today, We sing constantly loud throughout the game and to be rewarded with this display is simply not acceptable. Let wenger play his youngsters again at the emirates and we will show them how to play. "Spurs are on their way to Cardiff"

honestly they are hilarious they've completely stopped talking about the game and are arguing about who's a peadophile are spurs fans born this stupid or do they take lessons

Class, you could'nt make this up..you boys got spanked, with your best team at home, against the weaker side of your arch rivals......after you were 2 nil up.The facts don't lie...maybe next year.

sorry I made a mistake one aaron lennon cant be my father my dad is in bed at the moment

arsenal had a few key players missing aswell i noticed like whats that guys name the one who can do abit oh yeah Thierry Henry and am i the only one who's noticed huddlestone is one fat b*stard

Gazzvilla not sad, devoted we love to Interact..... with each other :-)

I dont think were linked to anyone today

Angel off to Celtic as Maloney comes the other way? http://avfcblog.com/content/view/1521/70/

sorry guys, iv got some more songs for you. These are for the big man...... to the tune of doctor who (the daleks) John Careeeeeew (he's massive) John Careeeeeew (he's massive) or He's Big, He's claret, we f****d off w***ker Baros John Carew, John Carew sorry but I have to let my creative urges out somwhere

my bad, it said that spurs were given a bye. probably just saves on further delays to the cup as spurs will throw away a 2 goal lead and need a replay. (he he!!)

I would actully have preferred to play feyenoord rather than get bye if truth be told, for 2 reasons, Our record in the UEFA cup this season is great(6 games played, 6 games won) and the other reason is that Spurs will lose revenue if we don't play, i.e gate receipts and t.v rights.

lol Bobby a spuds fan say sorry, as much chance as a liverpool fan not wanting a minutes silence for a squashed cat.

Lemon - your first comment went something like "why you think you a big club all of a sudden blah, blah, blah" How did youe expect us to take it. If you want to debate on here then fine but you must admit you have deliberately said a few things to get a response on more than one ocassion

returning swiftly to the transfer front, who's next then lads?

Just one more comment please - has anyone else seem this: http://www.caughtoffside.com/17-year-old-left-back-to-solve-all-tottenhams-problems.html Looks like Jol wanted Young, and Bale's not all he's cracked up to be. Hohoho

Maloney coming our way?Angel going to hoops? Man i hope not ?Any truth in this rumour?Im gutted if true . Im not saying Angel is the greatest but a swap for Maloney :-(

sorry mr fear, we didnt mean to abuse the use of the site. but he started it!!

what we need is someone experienced, someone who osbourne can learn off. he says he models himself on viera, so why not get.....(we can afford him!).

I agree on Sidwell, £3 to £4 million might be enough to prize him away now. Wouldn't it be great to get Owen Hargreaves. Well that's enough dreaming today!!

Chris Burke signs new three year contract with Rangers.... Good

Tony Butler has said it on his radio show tonite

Tarzan, your Sparticus!

Tarzan - before we signed Carew he was took straight to the training ground, and Ashley Young for that matter. This suggest to me the majority of transfers are conducted at Bodymoor Heath not Villa Park. However id love it to be true mate.

I like the sound of Barton and he would be great but i think he'll stay put until the summer.

Go away mate you are boring.

Hey check it out, the Lemons got jokes. Wow.

I thought that this thread was for VILLA fans to discuss and exchange views on OUR team and possible transfer targets. Why do we have to put up with some muppet from Spurs wasting our time. BAN HIM!!!!!!!

Can't ban hairylemon but he should tone it down...all the rubbish threads are on SSP so he can spout of there. Keane, yes please. Barton/Sidwell yes please.

We need a midfielder now. yes bardsley is only on loan, but that gives us breathing space until the summer for a new fullback, and hopefully he will sign a permanent deal then if we do well between now and the end of the season.

saviola did not want to come to villa as he thought it would be a backwards step to his career. Riquelme would be fantastic but he would want champs leauge football at an instant. villa aint there just yet. how ever if he was convinced he could sign even though his wage demands would probably be massive. he only signed for villaunreal for 2.5mil sould we probably get him for about 9mil me thinks. MON is still in for SWP for what i have seen on the net - birmingham mail and what else does he have up his sleve?

SWP would make a fine addition, but it would likely only be loan anyway.. hasn't MON already said SWP stated he believes his future lies at Chelsea and so doesn;t want to move permanently? I would love SWP to change his mind, but i doubt he will.

Keane would be a fantastic signing. Now that would really send out a message. On the midfielder front i wouldn't mind seeing Edgar Davids on a loan deal until the end of the season.

think it'l be the summer before we get swp in now by the sounds of martin,id be delighted at that even then.what about young lad diarra of chelsea think he is available after row with jose,looked like makelele mark 2 everytime i have seen him.

Would love to see Ryan Babel of Ajax at the villa he is quality, the barcodes and arsenal are keen on him but would love us to snatch him from under their noses, Van Basten says he could be the next Thierry Henry, cheaper and probably better than SWP...!

i would love to see that hunterlaar from ajax, he is meant to be the next ruud van nistlerooy

gentleman, lets refrain from the up word

A selling club tarzansbrother, you seriously think that. Spurs are more of a club that buy youth and develop them into internationals(theres too many to start saying names). Can you name me another player that spurs have sold for big money???

no not really - probably because they have not had that many class players like carrick to sell. granted like villa you have bought in some big names i.e beratov but then there have been players like rebrov - 11 mil and the fella leaves for next to nothing. and then there sol cambell. could have gone for millions. generally the spurs board are poor business people.

Posted on BBC wORLD service - Matusiak gives ultimatum to Villa Matusiak is the leading scorer in the Polish Premier League Poland international Radoslaw Matusiak has told Aston Villa he is too good to go on trial with them. Villa offered the GKS Belchatow striker a trial last week but the 25-year-old says the Premiership club must travel to Poland if they want to sign him. "I'm confident of what I have to offer and as a national team player I need to respect myself," he told BBC Sport. "If somebody is interested in buying me, I invite them to Belchatow so they can see me playing for local team." Matusiak is the hottest property in Polish football after scoring nine goals in 17 games for minnows GKS Belchatow. The forward has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for £200,000 but has an agreement with Belchatow that he will not leave for less than £1.3m. - SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER "PRIMA-DONNA" -FORGET HIM! Matusiak has attracted interest from PSV Eindhoven, Celtic, Spartak Moscow, Sampdoria, Livorno, Chievo and Roma but says he is keen to move to the Premiership. "The opportunity of playing in the English Premier League would be a massive challenge for me," he said. "There is no doubt it is one of my favourite leagues in the whole world. "The final decision about my future should be made in the next seven days." Both Fulham and Villa told BBC Sport that their interest in the forward had cooled.

i would really love to see Nedved in the claret and blue of Villa Juventus arent going to be in the champions league next season and if O'neill can show he is putting together a strong team that could challenge for a CL place i can't see why he wouldnt come he is fast strong can defend and score goals and a great striker of the ball the only downer is he is Czech so i'm sure Baros wouldn't advise him to come and i know he is getting on a bit but would really help push us towards europe if he was used sensibly and he could really help the younger lads

I know this may seem stupid but if we have the money, how about putting in an audacious bid for Cahill from Everton. The guy can tackle, distribute and score goals. He can play in the middle or upfront. $10 Mill??

Yes its true that spurs are going to find it very hard to hold onto our best talent, however spurs are building for the future and would want to hold onto their key players. Anyway, nearly all of our best players have signed new contracts, e.g, Lennon 2012, Huddlestone 2011, Defoe 2011, Taarabt when he signs 2012, King 2011.

And on the comment that the spurs board don't know how to do business, Carick wanted to leave for Man U, and if we didn't sell him for as much as we could he would have ran out his contract and left on the free. Does Sol Campbell ring any bells?

Lemon - i am gonna cut you a bit of slack as you seem to be in a sensible mood today. Must ask though why so many posts on our website?

Whoever MON is targetting then now is a great chance to get them after last weeks media spotlight on the club-a lot of players will be looking at the Villa and fancy it,Distin,Arteta and Smith please !!

PLEASE can we have some more pictures of the Training Ground on the site.....please pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

only stupid clubs would pay 10mil from a unproven premiership player from QPR! villa should be oing for de la pena and saviloli and kezman sort of players

agreed glensider. id be happy to see if smith can offer anything at all, and i think he could. And if nothing, at the end of the loan, back to old trafford he goes, to stagnate yet again! But i do think he would not disapoint us

he wudnt cost more than £5mill and would be a better bet than havin smith kezman would want to have another go in the prem

Koolbill, try the official site for some photos of the training ground. Only the shell at the moment I don't think they have put in the interiors yet.

i would take alan smith 2moro,proper centre forward he is.

What a difference a few days make ? this time last week I was worried that Ashley Young would sign for Spurs ! I also believed we would sign no one this january . Now ! I think we have 2 good players who will do a good job for us for the rest of the season . I also think we will be pushing for a european place ! Deluded ? I know ! It's great being a Villa fan again ! Let the good times roll ! As for transfer gossip , Robbie Keane please !

Yeah, hes hard as nails that lad. He is definately worth a shot. i never really liked him much when he was at leeds i thought he was completly overrated never scored any goals but at united he did for a bit, but was shifted back to midfield and looked shocking. but i think we should definately give him a chance, definately better than having angel.

Abel Xavier from Middelsborough has apparnetly demanded he be released from his contract so he can persue a new challenge, at Villa maybe? I'd take him, he's not too bad, not as good as he was before he got done for his pill popping antics or whatever it was

youve got to love oneaaronlennon hes now taking part in unbiased sensible debates about the villa.fair play

True Aussievilla, true. p.s. Gazvilla it's www.holteenders.com - two e's. Cheers. Kean and SWP yes please...still think we should have a crack with Cooke - MON is a wonder with young fellas and could mould him over the next few seasons. Gera also, great header, wicked shot, and BRAVE.

tough one gazvilla,if smith gets back 2 his best then they would both equally be as good as each other so cant really split them at all,any one of them would do for me.personally i think martin is going to pull another rabbit outa the hat(eg. carew) to be honest for are next signing though.

Who saw Aaron Lennon's performance yesterday. He is brilliant, he can play right and left flank and sets up goals and scores goals. If he carries on like this England will have a great chance to win Euro 2008. There is only one person i can compare him to, CHRISTIANO RONALDO.

that woukd cost 20-30mill! mabye in the summer

any gossip today? Been away in the jungle for the weekend with Jane. I heard that tactical genius Allardyce is after Samuel for 500k, rather too cheap if you ask me. When does his contract run out. Samuel (or his agent has always struck me as a greedy little thing). Cna't believe the Baggies vs. Wolves wasn't on TV - disgraceful

Tarzan, didn't you say we wern't allowed to mention the R**ha**son word?

Why does Lemon keep coming on here and pimping Spuds? Ok, so he's a potatoe head but this thread is for gossip about transfers to/from Villa and has no relevance to how well Aaron Lennon did or did not play. Please go and play with the traffic or something equally usefull Lemon!

Thought this thread was about possible signings for villa, not talking about Spurs. I hope MOn gets Smith, good player, if he's good enough for Man U he's good enough for us. I think we stand a good chance of getting Bardsley on a permanent basis too, if he really would like to sign for villa as he is supposed to have said.

I know its not the place for this post but all the best to Roy Aitken in his coaching role with the Scotland team.

Hoss: Was just thinking exactly the same thing myself...let's hope so.

It always goes crazy in the last day, I don't think MON has finished yet. and as for the visiting Lemon it is obvious he wants to be one of us and knows deep down that one day Lennon will come to play for MON at the Villa. Lemon its ok mate I understand its hard with family/friends supporting he spuds and you want to fit in. but its just so much better here, you could become oneashleyyoung now that has a ring to it, don't you agree?

starting to get really annoyed with spuds fans coming on here and bigging up there team, go and do it on the vital spurs website please

Villa fans are just saying that Ronaldo is miles better than Lennon because they know that no one with the same amount of talent as Aaron Lennon will play for them. And on the point that Ronaldo scores goals and creates goals out of nothing, yes he does, but does Lennon not do that??? Ronaldo is better than Lennon but Ronaldo is 22, Lennon is 19.

And when Spurs get Bale and Barnes, we will have the best young talent in the prem i.e Lennon 19, Taarabt 17, Bale 17, Barnes 18.

melon....you have struck lucky with lennon,we will have him in a year or so when everyone wants to join the mighty "VILLA".

Hey Lemon, I take it the numbers after the players' names are their respective IQs. Which makes them a whole lot brighter than you if you can't understand that this thread has feck all to do with Spuds and who they sign.

melonhead.....only one name worth mentioning.....whats your point?

dont want your cast-offs....we will cherry pick your talent later.....melon plums.

I can name one player that Tottenham developed that is better than all the players that you just mentioned and his name is LEDLEY KING.

After the Smith story appearing to be a no-goer, it's all quite on any kind of link. Even the Carew story had some legs a few weeks before hand. Must admit I'm getting a little concerned as methinks we need a couple of decent players.

I don't really want to post comments to get a response, however when some people say some stupid things about Tottenham, or anyone or anything for that matter, i have to respond, not to get a response, but to keep you lot within your boundaries.

I know that many people are looking forward to some more signings, but what if there are no more? Personally I still think that we have a stronger first team lineup than before the window, so we have moved forwards. What is the point bringing in second or third choice players that have no long term future? I would rather take what we have - survive this season and then look at strengthening again in the summer. Somebody did suggest that we utilise all of aour allowed loan deals. This makes so much more sense. Loan in Wes Brown, Diarra and another midfielder will give us a bit of strength in depth.

mackaavfc. Well put. I'm in complete agreement - treat his posts as if they weren't there! I'm in.

im in agreement with mackaavfc

Can we have Owen Hargreaves please? I know it's not going to happen but I can make the request. You never know what Santa will bring at xmas, similarly you never know what Randy will bring in January.

Get gera in, could be a decent first team regular. loans would be a good short term fix ie smith. any ideas

barton is well worth £15 million.....lets announce our arrival.

Gera. Keane. And that big defender from West Brom - can't remember his name. 'Nuff said (apart from that defenders name). ;-)

I posted a while back and got no response. Who do people think we'll sign and offload? I agree with my brother that either Davis or Gera from the Baggies, they'll want cash as Spurs and the Toon have tried part ex. This won't work as the Toon tried to offload Wilfred Bramble and he's on 50k per week. We need a right sided midfielder and support for Maccan (preferably a youngster) and a defender. See above for who I think will come in

tarzan, do think we need to get another defender in. A couple of injuries and we are in trouble again. Also, another battling midfielder would be great. Can't just leave it all to McCann. Is Diarra available from Chelsea on loan, meant to be a mini Makelele.

Come on people - who do you think we're in for? I think its agreed that we need a Defender, midfielder (Right wing and support for Maccan) and possibly a striker if we are to challenge for the top 6. Problem is that we need to start winning games and scoring goals. We are drawing too much and need to be in a position where the players can play with freedom and not look over thier shoulders. Samule won't be away then.

Poppa Bouba Diop late swoop to support Mcann and as for right midfield its got to be SWP.

Here here for Healy!!

Just daydreaming -- what a signal it would send out to British, nay, WORLD football if at 11.59 tomorrow we got Wright-Phillips!! I can dream - to be honest I am already delighted with who we have got and would be quite content if we got no-one else. However, the official site keeps plugging how MON is working hard on adding to the squad over the next 36 hours. Surely there must be someone else on their way? My gut feeling tells me it may be Alan Smith on loan!! But I have nothing to base that on!!
