Villa Sign Hutton and Jenas (loan) and a untried youngster in Stevens.

Yet we need a CREATIVE midfielder and a striker to be a second option from Bent WHY not get Bentdner and SWP as N'Zogbia isn't proving his worth at the minute

Believable14 Unbelievable13

31 Aug 2011 16:10:03
Villa in for Joe cole, just what we need! It's been awhile since we had a real creative player! Villa should also bid for walker rather than Hutton and whats Bendtner doing going to Stoke? Randy, what's the problem with the wage budget, Man city, Chelsea etc don't seem to care

That's such a stupid comment lol They can afford their wages that's the difference, this isn't fm. And the players they have on high wages r worth it.

Expect villa to sign hutton and jenas, then that will be that.

Cole has signed for Lille. Yet again we leave it to it's to late ! With only 9 1/2 hours left of the transfer window let's hope we do have some signings lined up, otherwise the count will be pretty dismal a dozen or so out and two in. Have the board forgotten how much being in the PL is worth financially ? Let's be honest with our current squad we struggle big time against the good teams.

Demel & Hargreaves to join Villa on a free transfers
Rhys Williams is to also join from Boro.

huddlestone deal will be concluded if Parker joins Spurs.

Believable6 Unbelievable4

30 Aug 2011 07:23:44
Young was on £40-50,000 a week
Makoun was on £60,000 a week.
Hogg was on £10,000 a week.

That gives Villa quite a lot of wage clearance to buy big before the end of the transfer window.

Hutton is pretty much certain.
Huddlestone deal depends upon Parker joining Spurs (which is quite likely now).
Hargreaves looks to join on a pay as you play deal.
Benayoun will join at VP as he'll offer a lot of a attacking flair to Villa's play.

Up The Villa , This squad could be the making of Aston Villa back in the Champions League.

Believable7 Unbelievable4

29 Aug 2011 19:14:00
We need at least three signings before the window closes. A new right back, Hutton is the obvious choice, a CM, Gibson has been linked and wouldn't him as well as Hargreaves on a pay as you play deal. Up top we need a target man. No idea who but Bent offers goals and Agbonlahor offers pace, now we need someone who will offer us height but NOT Crouch.
Come On You Villa.

29 Aug 2011 18:10:26
Villa are interested in Owen Hargreaves as Makoun is close leaving on a season long loan with a view to buy. Also Allan Hutton has been in close talks with Tottenham and McLeish over a potentially move. Also a move for Huddlestone is being considered but it depends on whether Tottenham sign Scott Parker. A move for Benayoun has been delayed to see whether he'll be made as a makeweight in the Luka Modric deal with Chelsea.

28 Aug 2011 12:06:36
Surely the poor crowd against Blackburn and the pathetic attendance yesterday shows Lerner he simply has to put money in to the squad before wednesday? We desperately need a striker to support Bent and only a defender and recognised premiership Midfielder and one big name signing will get the crowds back in and us excited again. We have made a solid enough start but against weeker teams. we wont let many goals in but we are also not going to score many and we really need to score when we are on top as we were for the first 20 minutes yesterday otherwise we will be picked of and punished against stronger teams who have more ambition than Wolves did.

Villa's best right back for 10 years Luke Young has signed for QPR its a sad day as he was blantantly missed today against wolves and were getting a player as replacement who cant even get in the first team at spurs in Alan Hutton also looks like Makoun is going and Kayal is coming in

Huddlestone deal strongly dependant on the diarra or/and parker deal going through for spurs. Hutton deal very close.

Believable8 Unbelievable4

26 Aug 2011 19:45:43
from the villa website big eck said the following "QPR have put a bid in for Luke which the club have accepted and he is talking to them now with my approval - as long as we can add to the squad," added the Villa boss. "The deal is not done yet but the indications are he will go to QPR.

"We will be looking to bolster the squad with an experienced player. If we are thin on the ground, it is (in terms of) experience.

"We have got a list of players. We have to be ready with some names for the board."

Tottenham full-back Alan Hutton would fit that criteria and the Scotland international has also been linked with Villa.

If Big Eck is able to get rid of some players or when he is able to he'll move to bring in Hutton,Gibson,Kayal and Dann

Believable7 Unbelievable4

25 Aug 2011 11:28:03
Reports suggest Big Eck has several agents at work to off load L.Young,Ceullar,Makoun,Lowry and he's even offering Beye on a free just clear his wage off the pay roll

If He's able to do now or in January he'll move to bring in Hutton, Kayal/Gibson

Believable7 Unbelievable6

25 Aug 2011 11:16:58
Alex Mcleish has stated today he's hired agents to attempt off load some of Villa's high earners as villa's annual wage bill is 80 million now who are Villa's high earners and would we want to go?

Bent 60-90k, N'zogbia 60k, Given 55k, Makoun 55k these we know so who are they O'neill signings therefore must be
Ireland,Petrov,Warnock,Dunne,Collins,L.Young,Beye,
Heskey,Ceullar
Then there's Gabby who surely the club could of monitored his pay as he's from the Academy and cant see the rest of the squad being on much as they haven't established themselves yet. I honestly struggle to see the issue at Villa they Let 14 players go 6 of them on high wages and they cant get another player or 2
least next season Heskey,Beye will be gone and it'll be farewell to L.Young and Ceullar so hopefully Villa then buy wisely and get some good replacements

I read that Holloway wants Barry Bannan and is prepared to bid £1m. Seems to me that this is the same person who wasn't to pleased when villa made a cheeky bid for Charlie Adam in January and was very vocal in his criticism of Villa and Houlier. Yet here we are and he thinks £1m is a genuine offer for Barry, dream on mate ! you need to add a zero after the one and you will be closer to the correct valuation. Barry Bannan is a fantastic player with great prospects, a villa great of the future

The reason Villa's wage bill was sky high was O'Neill only got the players he wanted first because he offered them insane wages (£60-80k a week).

Villa do have finances to get 2 or 3 new players.

Expect some lower league transfers.. We signed Young from Watford for £12m.

Delph from Leeds for £8m.

Villa will make some more signings like these.

Believable9 Unbelievable8

17 Aug 2011 20:46:59

Believable11 Unbelievable1

17 Aug 2011 16:46:27
This is INSANE everyday as a Villa fan i'm looking at the team and thinking yeah fair enough we've let 14 players go and made estimated 36-40m brought 2 players at 13.5m so how can the wage bill be that out of hand with at least 5-6 of the players gone were on big money so we should be able to go and get at least 2 players and were being told they need to sell before they buy as the wage bill is so high hearing that Cuellar and L.Young may go before we sign the 2-3 players that Villa obviously need being another winger a creative midfielder and a striker now. Now if Lerner hadn't wasted so much on Houllier we wouldn't have had 3 managers in 1 year.
Worrying times at Villa at the min as the 5 youngsters we have of quality to step into the first team arent enough to cover whats gone with Ireland, warnock, Given and N'zogbia anyone can see we need 2-3 players whether they come on loan or transfer

Villa to send Chris Herd out on a season loan to Forest in order to sweeten a 4.5 million rising to 6mill for Lewis McGugan. Mcleish and Villa's scouts have been watching his impressive start to the season and see him as the attacking force we are missing in Midfield. His age and the fact he is English have persuaded Randy Lerner to stump up the transfer fee.

Believable5 Unbelievable10

14 Aug 2011 11:42:35
Mcleish is still working to bring in two or three new players before the end of the window. For all the people posting on here there will be no new signings listen to Shay Givens interview post the Fulham game yesterday on Talksport if you don't believe me.
It is now obvious to all at the club that we lack any real fire power apart from Darren Bent. Yes Nzogbia will score & create goals when he is amtch fit and there is no doubt that Gabby & Heskey will work their socks off but neither will make double figures this season and with this is mind Lerners hand has been forced to stump up for new players. It is more likely to be loans rather than purchases but Mcleish wants to bring in a forward, winger and midfielder. Players being looked at are Pedro Leon, Swp, Adam Johnson, David Trezeguet, David Bentley,Niko Kranjčar, Jermaine Defoe & Thomas Hitzlsperger. Villa would also be interested in Bendtner but is more likely Arsenal would want a cash deal and also Emmanuel Adebayor but with talk of 100k a week this is a non starter.

a rumor gaining momentum on a villa forum is suggesting Villa chiefs have met with an unnamed premiership player over a free-transfer, apparently this took part in a hotel lobby in Skelmersdale (west lancashire) - no idea what player would be based in that area?

All Gabby leaving for Bolton rumours are false.

The only deal that might be done with Bolton is the re-signing of Gary Cahill, which would cancel out a sell-on-clause.

A loan for Bentner is apparently also on the cards with Heskey being forced out of the team as Big Eck plans changes.

Expect youth to be the strongest team influence this year.
Clark , Albrighton , Bannan & Lichaj to be pushed into the team to give them a shot of the EPL.

New figures show Villa's debt is at £110m

This figure has shrunk to £86m due to left over money from Young & Downing sales + N'Zogbia & Given purchasing funds.

Villa will not make anymore signings , only young ex youth players will be playing from now on as Villa look to cut their big debts.

S.w.p is not a target but James Milner is and has been all summer. I don't know if its loan or buy but would think loan is the more likely. Where has this come from... Paul Faulkner Maybe a PR rumour but he has said Milner is who they want. Don't care if you believe me or not and by no means saying it's going to happen but JM is the man they want.

does anybody else not think that all this crap about the wage bill is taken a bit far. i mean scott parker i can understand as that would be an 8 million fee coupled with 70 k wage demands. But i read in the SUN today that were priced out of a move for barton cos of the wage demands. Im sorry but there is no transfer fee involved and he wants 70k a week. We did that with ireland when he was a makeweight in the milner deal so i just don't understand why we cant sign loan players or free players. Baffles me to be honest i mean what are mcleish and lerner expecting, players wont play for free for gods sake. Rant over. UTV

Just heard that Man City are offering Milner to Villa on a long season loan + first shot on buying him at the end of the year.

We would have to pay 65% of his wages though.

Expect a reshuffling of Villa's centre backs with Dunne & Collins expected to be sold & replaced.

Clark could be one of the replacement respectively.
Lerner also seems to see a move for Scott Dann a good investment.
Villa struggled last season in defence & a back four of:
Cuellar , Clark , Dann , Warnock

Could really push our quest for reaching the top 6.

McLeish is planning to win over the critics with aiming for Silverware.O'Neill's Army Man.

Not that bothered about tonights result against Derby as it was 90% team of fringe/young players and some looked ok....but at least Mcleish has admitted.....(and it was on Sky Sports before you non believers say he has already said he is not spending anymore money)....that we need to improve the squad...expect to see a flurry of signings/bids over the next couple of weeks. We have contacted and spoken to Bartons agent already so its just a case of how we sell Aston Villa to him as he is going to decide where based purely on football reasons. Expect bids for a few of Spurs squad players Defoe, Hutton, Jenas and like wise city players Wright Phillips, Milner, Santa Cruz and possibly a couple of frees Der Hammer, Upson etc. We will also watch developments on both Samba and Dann and act according to interest and maybe a few unexpected younger signings too. Exciting times before the end of the window...watch

We can massively strengthen our team in the free transfer market alone, upson would boost the defensive options. Hitzlsperger can play anywhere in midfield so he is a great option too have, and barton can be that creative talent that we badly need to help supply the likes of Bent. If we buy anyone else i hope we sign Hutton and Long to be honest. What do you think ed?

Totally agree with the thoughts about our lack of attacking options without DB, we didm't have one shot on target in the first 45 minutes against Chelsea and only one shot in the entire half. Definately NEED a second striker of quality. ND tends to prefer to play in wider areas which lessens the threat he poses to goal. Thought Bannan was impressive during his short spell but again disappointed with Ireland.

Rumor that Mcleish is plotting to bring Gary Cahill back to Villa park for a reduced fee of around 9 million, essentially canceling the sell-on fee villa would receive if he was to move elsewhere, this coincides with another rumor that James Collins is leaving for Blackburn for around 3 million.

Villa also hope to sign Wesley Verhoek before the season gets underway.
