Adel Taarabt from QPR to replace ashley young in summer. His quick feet and skill will be the sort of playmaker that we just need.

I do not have connections or sources at Villa or any rubbish like that, these are just my thoughts on what has been thrown around in the press over the past few months. The squad has looked better in recent weeks with more and more players coming back from injury. As i see it the rumoured massive clear out won't be as massive as thought. However admittedly there will be changes.

GK: IF Friedel signs a new deal then the likelihood of their being any activity is pretty slim, other than perhaps an understudy being brought in for back up. Probably a free transfer with someone like Kirkland being a likely, cheap option. Guzan will probably leave for a Championship side as he doesn't have a realistic hope of coming into the starting line up.

Defence: The defence has been shaky to say the least, we have gone from the best defence to one of the worst. This is down to a lack of consistency in the wider parts of the pitch. Walker won't be staying, i just can't see it. We will probably bring in Hutton, he's fallen out with HR and a move to Villa would interest him. Also i think the left back spot is between Izaguirre and Figueroa, one of those will be signed however which one? Im not sure. In the centre of defence we could lose Cuellar, but he's been rubbish this year anyway! Diakhate could join for 3 million.

Midfield: You never know, Young could stay, although that isn't a likely outcome to the transfer saga. Milner won't rejoin, he's said he did the right thing to leave so let him stay put. Downing to stay. Reo-Coker unfortunatly may depart, that would be a tough one to take as he has finally performed in the centre of midfield, arguably he has been better than Makoun. A cm will be found, probably Kallstrom along with Fofana, two good, cheap players one with experience and one with youth.

Strikers: Carew has gone, bye bye. Heskey will stay, Agbonlahor will stay but could be deployed in a wider area. However Gervinho's arrival could see them swap positions which would be interesting to see. We tried to sign him in Janaury so i can see Houllier moving for him again, after all he does speak French.

Ins: Kirkland (Free), Hutton (5 million), Figueroa/Izaguirre (5 million), Diakhite (3.5 million), Fofana (1 million), Kallstrom (6 million), Gervinho (12-15 million).

Outs: Guzan (500k), Lowry (released), Cuellar (4 million), Warnock (2.5 million), Beye (released), A.Young (12 million), Reo-Coker (free), Weiman (Loan).

What do you guys think {Ed007's Note - Not that clued up on Villas business mate, so changed that a bit, hope you don't mind}

Rumors circulating that Villa have made an enquiry about securing the services of Daniel G iza from Fenerbahce for a cut price of around 4mil

main priority is still to bring in a playmaker so expect to see more movement during the summer.
