aston villa will sign andy carroll for 12.5 million if liverpool reject newcastles loan move and view to permanent deal so carroll to VILLA !!

Believable9 Unbelievable14

A 15mil bid has been launched mate just came from avfcoffical

Agree7 Disagree9

That would be an absolute steal. As an LFC fan I think he is worth 15m+ but would rather him go to AV than the Magpies.My mate is a Villa fan so I watch most of Villa matches with him.

Agree9 Disagree5

I hope your right, but i doubt it

Agree5 Disagree3

£15m from avfc itself? where can i see that myself!?
LFC want £20m apparently though.
Bent & Carroll would be unstoppable!
LFC would probably prefer dealing with Villa as NUFC is closer to the top 5 positions.

Agree5 Disagree3

I said villa were in talks with Liverpool a couple of days ago. If he can be persuaded he will be at the villa next week. Liverpool would prefer him to go to villa as they still owe money on downing. Watch this space Villa fans.........

Agree2 Disagree3

Supposedly, we could get Carroll for a cut price of £15million. This would be £5million less than what Liverpool want because they still owe us money for Downing and this would cancel that money they owe.

Agree2 Disagree5

There is NOTHING on avfc official

Agree3 Disagree1

Its on monday media watch
quote"Lambert has openly declared an interest in the future of Andy Carroll, the £35m striker set to leave Anfield this summer"
lets hope Lambert brings him!
all players that have played for both clubs do s*** at liverpool and good at villa

Agree1 Disagree4

All players that have played for both clubs do s*** at liverpool and good at villa
Super Milan Baros put the S in Hit at both clubs oh and the man beast that is Emile Heskey??

Agree3 Disagree7

Carroll to head in some goals up front and Bent can finish-Carroll would be a good signing

Agree3 Disagree0

Paul Lambert has stated today that he has no interest in signing Andy Carroll, Stop making all this rubbish up!

Agree2 Disagree2

Carroll is a useful player if you can get the ball to him (like Bent). Last season showed us that we should probably work on getting the ball to the strikers before we go and spend a fortune on a striker. Although, if Lambert feels confident that he can bring a couple of attacking midfielders or wingers in, it's not every day you get to sign someone of Carroll's calibre for £15m, so it's a tricky one in my opinion.

Agree1 Disagree0

Patrik Berger did very well at liverpool

Agree8 Disagree0

Quote "all players that have played for LFC and good for Villa" What about Collymore? Possibly the worst buy Villa ever made. Petulant, arrogant, egotist are all phrases used to describe him. When he wanted to play he was great but when he didn't my granny was better!!!

Agree5 Disagree6

Collymore was one of the most mismanaged players in villa's history a great player ruined by a useless money grabbing manager John Gregory

Agree2 Disagree11

How exactly was john gregory a money grabber?? An how was gregory useless? Gregory's time in charge was possibly the most successful period that villa have had over the last 15years bar his final season
>scg87

Agree10 Disagree0

Collymore only played when he wanted to play. It always appeared that he thought that he was better than all the other players. He wasted Villa's money and created havoc among the villa faithful. He set examples to the youngsters that should have seen him ....................!

Agree7 Disagree1

Steve staunton, ray houghton, dean saunders all good players

Agree8 Disagree0

What's Happening with Yachine Brahami?
Also im suprised no one has linked Owen with a Villa move, i could see Bent and Owen do well up top.

Believable8 Unbelievable1

Rennes want a perminant move if this fails we'll get him on loan

Agree4 Disagree0

Old thinking. I have been disagreed with on many occasions about Owen, but I think that he could be good. Some t-ss-r suggested that I came from across the pond because I used the an Americnism. Owen will always score goals which is more than the Villa forward line did last season. AS for Carroll, I would need to be convinced. But in the days of old that I remember Villa enjoyed a big man up front. However what happens to Bent, perhaps Owen and Gabby. Will Gabby be on his way?

Agree0 Disagree0

Carroll would be amazing for Villa he hasn't really put a foot wrong just needs time to settle in somewhere plus he had a great Euro Championship. Gabbys is a difficult one as he loves the club and can be useful but for a striker i just don't think he is Premier League quality and if we are going to keep him we need goals from all over the place cause we can't rely on him. Would love to see Brahami at the club in any form and an optimistic move try to get Carroll and Owen in so we have a wealth of choice upfront?

Hi ed is there any truth to the danny simpson rumour? {Ed043's Note - this rumour is looking more and more likely as reading have signed gunter we look like we will sign him}

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Good brilliant player

Agree4 Disagree5

Young & Hungry = Welcome to Paul Lambert's claret and blue Army

Agree5 Disagree2

Even The Fail are saying "The Royals had been in for Newcastle's wantaway full-back Danny Simpson, but the 25-year-old is now expected to join Aston Villa, as they have signed Gunter

Agree4 Disagree1

Why would we sign him we have 3 right backs now lowthin has signed we need to fill other positions in the team striker winger left back centre back we cant afford to waste 5mil on a 4th right back surely

Agree3 Disagree1

Lowton is a lb simpson is a rb

Agree2 Disagree9

Its 2 million read the front covers

Agree5 Disagree1

APPARENTLY ITS ONLY £2 MILLION

Agree4 Disagree1

Its a replacement for hutton and lowton isn't experienced enough yet

Agree5 Disagree2

Hutton has been left out of the US tour which speaks volumes so expect an exit if another right back is bought.

Agree2 Disagree3

Lowton is a RB who can play across the back an as a midfielder. I reckon he's been bought more as a utility and squad player. There no way we can expect a player who has spent the last 2 years playing in league 1 to be instantly good enough to play prem football! >scg1987

Agree7 Disagree3

Lowton is a right back

Agree3 Disagree0

However regardless i think we would've seen lowton as back up to lichaj i highly doubt we actually will get simpson to be honest

Agree1 Disagree0

Another five or six set to come in and four or five going out. Ron Vlaar looks a done deal just finalising personal terms with the player. Lambert sees defence needs a shake up and is acting on that and is looking to strengthen further. He is still keen on a deal for ramis and the two clubs are currently negotiating. He is in the market for a new LB and martin olsson could be a possibility. Robert Snodgrass is being mentioned but personally don't see him improving our squad. Lambert is monitoring joe coles situation at liverpool and would like to have the experienced midfielder on loan or permanant if he dropped his wages considerably. Another liverpool player Lambert has refused to rule out a move for is Andy Caroll. Hutton is certain to leave after being left out of the squad to USA. Lambert wants to keep Dunne and with the possibility of Vlaar and ramis coming and wanting to use clarke as CB looks like collins will be on his way out. Makoun may also be leaving due to work permit problems although its understood PL would rather keep him.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

What about danny simpson also what about rhodes and joe cole is part of brendon rogers plans dont know about carrol though

Agree2 Disagree0

Hope we get martin olsson he is class

Agree4 Disagree1

We won't get rhodes its just been this dream villa fans have so we immediately think we're linked with him where in reality nothing has really been said

Agree1 Disagree1
