Can't believe one of you actually thinks you will get Carrick from united. You do realise they only have about 3 midfielders fit-him being one of them. It's not loike fergie ever buys in jan so he aint going to be replaced. Plus Fergie loves him.

marty the messiah wants gabby and u want gardiner so just give us 10m and thats quits

We don't want Gardner and Gabby is Villa through and though so good luck while he's playing well and wanted he'll stay at Villa like all players who support the team they play for

Gabby is worth 20m easy and Gardner about 8m pull the other one

Think MON is more likely to get Heskey than Gabby, as for Gardner we already have the better brother why should we want him back, he could never get in the team anyway !

Wouldn't be surprised if that was a geordie pretending to be a mackem saying that, i like gardner and would have Gabby off you if he was for sale, hate to say think Bent is going but we told you so doesn't quite cut it

I think Bents problem is that he likes to be the main man. As soon as Gyan started showing some form and getting the fans going the great sulk began. Last season at Villa he was the main stirker-happy days. This season Gabby starts in sparkling form and suddenly the rumours begin...

Pppppffffffffffttttttt 20 million for gabby, hes got a goal ratio of 1 in 4.6 games, he only got 3 last year, 11s his best ever total and hes got only 53 goals in all competitions for the club at 25 nearly 26, so please show me this 20 million pound player? your deluded hes 10 million tops, and thats only if a few clubs come sniffing, gabbys not in great form, he has 4 goals, great form is van persie, dzeko balotelli, rooney, aguero, adebayor, all players in double figures, proper strikers, he has as many as velios at everton and defoe at spurs, the first only playing 60 odd mins footie in total, geez a few of us need reality checks

would anyone consider making a bid for that Nathan Redmond guy who plays for birmingham. could be the next Ashley Young and would provide a lot of crosses for bent

Why?bent wont be here

Not so much a rumour but a fact

Alex 'the Mack can't manage' McBeef was only brought in because the board knew Villa would be in the relegation dog fight and just in case Villa went down, Alex is the man they want for 2nd tier football.

Watch for all the 25k+ per week players being got rid of

And sadly no Qataris as much as I would love it!

Really don't get why Villa didn't sign Demba Ba when he was FREE, we were obviously the better team than Newcastle. Also don't get why Mcleish didn't sign Dann or Johnson, the only useful players Birmingham have.

I would of liked to of seen Larson and Dann signed by Mcleish instead of Hutton and N'zogbia but hey were probably in for some more sh*t signings in January as the only decent player we've been linked with so far is Zamora and taking Mceachron on loan from Chelsea

Zamora ? Decent ? ok then.

Have you seen who Villa have been linked with he's the best out of a bad bunch other than Barnetta who i don't think will come to us

Yeah fair play we have been linked with some s**te loll although David villa :p broken leg or not he's still better than emile heskey . (dont worry I know it wud neva happen )

And also i think randy lerner should leave because he has been desstroying the club for years, making managers sell our best players e.g barry milner young downing

Like many villa fans I was prepared to give Mcleish the chance to prove himself at Villa, but I have to say he is failing the examination. Our performance for the first 70 minutes on Saturday was appauling, the players didn't look interested and there was no great motivation (almost as bad as the Spurs game) we were poor at the back, lacked imagination going forward and gave Man U far to much space in midfield. If Mcleish builds his teams on defensive qualities then, apart from the odd bright moment and with the exception of Shay Given, this strategy isn't working, our defending from set pieces this season as been abysmal. Let's hope that January brings some quality signings, a wide player to provide service for Bent would be a start, before he decides to join the exodus, and hopefully Sunderland might be in the market for some of the MON signings that haven't made the grade ! we all know who these are.

absolutely woeful. easiest 3 pts utd will get all season, their under 16 team would have got 3 pts too, get it sorted mcleish its embarrassing

What Keegan said was true ! If you want entertaining football he could be the one at least it would not be boreing

GET OUT MCLEISH UR A DISGRACE UR DESTROYING VILLA,EVERYONE HATES U ,DO ONE NOW

Sunderland are very lucky to have O'neill . If only lerner would have give him the 24 mill that he gave houllier then we wouldn't have a manager that knows nothin about football and we would be far from having the threat of relegation looming over our shoulders. I would be very surprised if sunderland don't start shooting up the table now (even if O'neill signs players like Davies and sidwell :p )

There were some things O'neill did exceptionally at Villa but also some dodgy decisions and buying some cracking players but also alot of s**t players and all of them were on big wages which he agreed.

Which is why Mcleish has to work with what he has as Villa will have to wait until we've either sold or ran down the remainder of O'neills contracts down then Villa will be able to balance the books and look to bring a few more stars in.

It's not Mcleish's fault he has a lacking squad if he had the squad we had 12 months ago he'd have Villa in 4-6 position but the fact is we've lost 17 players and 4 of which were key players and brought in 3 players with only one of them being a shrewed buy in Given if anyone is to blame it's Lerner he let o'neill spend stupidly and closed to purse for Mcleish despite sales of 40m plus.

SO BLAME LERNER AS HE LOST CONTROL IN THE GOOD DAYS AND NOW WERE SUFFERING FOR HIM ONLY NOW RELISING IT.
As Mcleish cant do much with what he has any manager would struggle with the squad we have now

Not true . Whilst i agree that we are not as strong as a squad when o neill was in charge i also think that if o neill were in charge with the players we had now we would finish mid table and win more than 3 games so far. Any manager could do that with the squad we got now. Problem is mcleish's tactics. 6 defenders on the field at tottenham , unattractive football in most matches this season. Slowly we are becoming birmingham city. However i agree that lerner is at fault as he has lost the passion for it. Time for him to sell up to be honest.
