Ed who are the possible winger target aside from the relegated sides, we've been linked with mcgeady which is probably unlikely. Any interest in matt phillips we must have been scouting blackpool with the gilks links. Any targets in other leagues. thanks {Ed001's Note - yes Matty Phillips has been extensively scouted, he was asked about last summer too but Blackpool refused to discuss him. I very much doubt they will discuss him with Villa this summer either, they would to a team in Europe, purely because of not letting his head get turned, but I don't think they would listen to any other offers. McGeady has been of interest for ages, he was unhappy out there, he didn't like not being able to go out without an armed guard etc. His reps tried to get him a deal with Newcastle, which never came about and I have heard nothing since. The main issue seems to be that he wants to be as far north as possible to be close to home, allied to his high wage demands.}

He Irish mate not Scottish so up North isn't home {Ed001's Note - you might want to check up: Although born and brought up in Scotland, McGeady plays internationally for the Republic of Ireland, a country he qualifies for through his grandparents.}

Ed who are some likely left back targets i read of Van Aanholt below but havent seen him mentioned in the press. Has there been any interest in adam matthews of celtic. Also is nathaniel clyne was mentioned as a target is he set for manu... thanks {Ed001's Note - other than the ones I have previously said, I don't know of any. There have been no new ones brought to my attention by a good source, though I did see a link with the left back from Villareal. Not convinced it was solid info, more just because it is know Villa are chasing a left back and Villareal are in money troubles and have to sell. Makes it easy to link their players with all and sundry. I have not heard of any recent interest in Matthews, there was a fair bit in him a while ago, when he was a little unsettled, but I don't know if the situation has changed and he is now settled up in Scotland. Clyne is very much a target, he does seem likely to end up at United, but you never know, he might prefer to go where he is more likely to play regularly.}
