So there's quite a few rumors knocking around at the minute, these are the ones I think are A) realistic and B)worthwhile

Zaha on loan (quite a few clubs interested and think he'll create a lot of chances)
Which leads to my next one
Jordan Rhodes, proven goal scorer, clinical and think he would get on well with Paul (especially being a Scottish international)
Lescott (possibly on loan) I know there's a whole wage issue but I think it would be worth paying them for a season or two, he's a class CB and would add experience.
Joey Barton, I personally really want this to happen, besides all the off-field actions he's a top midfield player who, let's not forget, was in and around the England set-up before certain incidents, and he's passion would rub off on the younger players on and off the field.
Bertrand & De Bruyne, Chelsea "normally" stump up some or all of the wages for players on loan and they are both clearly top top players, and with rumors of cole heading off perhaps a loan deal for Ryan would suit him more than a permanent one.

Are you the real Mr Bojangles?

Bertrand a top top player? I don't think so.

All the people banging on about helenius, he is young and expected to improve but isn't ready yet, been average when he's played. Kozak is scoring goals regardless of how bad a footballer he can look. Bowery works hard and will out himself about which lambert likes.

Also those saying play Gary Gardner, he's not played regularly for years and half the player delph is!

Still carrying a few pints then.

Helenius IS ready, he is an International mate.

Kozak scores goals that are gifted.

Bowery championship material at best.

And Gardener would figure under most managers with the squad we have.

It will be interesting too see if the fa cup match will be an opportunity for helenius and Gardner.

Gary Gardner best footballer on villa books Kozak is a donkey, if its about working hard I put a shirt on Delph lookingg like last year, villajk

Villadave u are crazy. I'm not the person that wrote that above but I agree with all of it. I can't believe you think helenius is a premier league standard player yet. He could be but definately not yet. I go to work with a Everton fan and after we played them he came to me the next Monday and said I quote ' that helenium is the worst player I've seen' he played for 10 minutes in that game. Helenius is not anywhere near the standard you think but he could be in a few years time. And how many times have you seen helenius play? Maybe 30 minutes worth. Lambert sees him everyday in training and knows how he is progressing. We did only spend 2 million on him and if he was playing everyone would be complaining about how 'championship level' he is. Give him time

Hi whoever you are.
"Thanks for the crazy label"

It is an opinion I have "not a fact".

I have not said he is premier league standard, I have simply said he is ready to play in our side, he needs a chance to be brought up to speed.

I have seen Helenius play probably 20 times or more the full 90 minutes,
you seem to forget what I have posted before, I trade on football matches and have a set up where I can watch live games in Europe all day long, and I make a part time living doing it.

I watch at least 2 games a day every day, I have four screens.

I am not saying this makes me any sort of expert all, but it does help in understanding different countries football styles and player development.

So please don't say I have never seen him.

villadave

Hi Dave, my angle on it is that I think helenius needs to build up his core muscle strength before being able to hold down the rigours of the premier league.
Finch

Hi Finch.

I know what you are saying, but don't be fooled by his build.

The Danish league have some pretty tough cookies playing, and have seen Helenius take some bone breaking tackles mate.

What about Crouch?

Like I have said he ain't going to toughen up warming the bench is he

villadave

Remember the players don't learn everything from playing matches he will be delveloping from training with a player like benteke

If that's your thinking fine.

But I don't know anybody who thinks a player becomes a player from training, they learn yes, but playing games is the only way mate, it doesn't matter which way you look at it.

villadave

Either way looks like he'll get a chance to impress in the cup this weekend.

Well I said months ago On here Pl wants defour and Rodwell and I was laughed at and called a dreamer. Now others are getting links months after they will be fab signings and bla bla bla. Well kingvilla told you first and both are very real targets as up to 3 more experienced players will come in this windows. 2 midfield players and another striker and also a lb if the funds were there but that's probably for the summer more.

Iv seen you post about 100 names on here so far. your rumours are fabricated from your mind and not factual.

Finch

You didn't say we were linked with that you said we had signed them! Good to see your ludicrous comments again though king villa
