Liverpool preparing bid for Young in region of £15m they got money regardless of whether Torres stays and know he would want to move to bigger club and Liv still got connections with our manager! Good source mates with Warnock who still keeps in touch with liverpool lads and hopes for move himself. . If they want to go i say sell em!

I know the Young/Crouch + £10million sounded strange, but howabout now that Spurs seem to going all out for Andy Carroll? That would leave Crouch even further down the pecking order.
Young a midfielder? Not strictly speaking, he's an old fashioned winger cum striker.
Regardless, not happy about it.

"Heard a strange one from a usually very reliable source, Young goin to spurs for £10m + Peter Crouch."

Midfielder for a striker? While we now have 4 strikers capable with a 5th and 6th on loan (I know Carew's not coming back), but why would we lose our midfielder and why would Spurs lose their striker, which is a position Spurs NEED the most.

Lol, Why would Young even contemplate going to Liverpool nor why would Villa contemplate selling him in January? That would be the dumbest thing Villa could do, so enough with the stupid rumours that AREN'T going to happen. He won't sign for Liverpool this January and I can't see him ever signing for them to be perfectly honest.

This is untrue, there are no such reports in the media outlets mentioned. I'm a Celtic supporter living in Scotland.

Unfortunately we have some total fools posting drivel on the Celtic rumours page. I hope they don't start posting similar nonsense on other clubs pages. {ed's note - they do it on all the pages, I am sure they think it funny, but I find it tiresome myself.

Now for some proper transfer specualtion. .We know Villa have signed Makoun and Walker have signed. Bent will soon follow in the next couple of days. I still expect to see a few more new faces at Villa Park before the end of the window. Firstly lets make it clear that Villa will not be signing Benzema, Klose etc. .it simply won't happen.

We are pretty sound in goal, nothing will happen until summer for that, at which point the targets will be McGregor, Weidenfeller and possibly Kucszack depending on what the situatuion at Old Trafford is. We will keep Guzan on and will use him in Cup ties with possibly the odd appearence in the league.

In defense there will be some changes, Warnock's situatuion isn't clear, we will have to wait and see about that one. .but regardless Figueroa will be signed to give us a bit more stability as well as attacking support as our goal scoring record this season has been awful. Enric Spahic will also be signed as Houlier will be staying on, he is a quality central defender. He will Davies replacement in the side. Samba has an outside shot at being signed but its unlikely after he was slapped with a £10 million price tag. We don't have that much to spend on one player after we have signed Bent. RB is sorted.

In midfield there won't be too many more significant changes, we know that Makoun has signed, he will give us a good bite in the center of the park. Adam will join him for a fee close to the £5 million mark. Reo-coker may move on but Petrov will stay as well Ireland who is coming back to fitness. In the wide areas little will happen until the summer, Sessegnon or N'Zogbia will most likely arrive. Young will not leave the club as Houlier will be rebuilding the squad. Downing will stay put also (heaven forbid if either of those two left) All other defensive midfielder rumours such as Van Bommel and Sissoko will no longer mean anything as they will not sign for us now. Seb Larsson will also sign, for around the £5 million mark, this would be a cheeky signing of Houllier, strengthening our team whilst weakening Birmingham.

Up top we will have Bent in the coming days, with the probable signing of Cummings until March with a view to a possible permanent transfer after the loan spell if he performs well. Carew will stay, he is arguably our best striker and Houllier can recognise that.

Beye will move on like Sidwell has, Salifou's spell has come to its end, he will move to a lower league or different country. Davies will also move on thankfully. Osbourne will also mvoe on.

So that leaves us with:

Marshall
Guzan
Friedel
(Parish)

n
Young
Walker

Dunne
Cuellar
Spahic
(S amba?)
Collins
Clark

Warnock
Figueroa

nYoung
Downing
Albrighton
Petrov
Reo-Coker (for now)
Ireland
Larsson
Makoun
Adam
Bannan
Delph< br> Herd
Hogg

Agbonlahor
Bent
Carew
Heskey
Deflounesou
Cummings
Weimann

I have included younger players in my squad because they will feature but not be as prominent as they are now.

Do you agree with me Ed? What do you think?

Villain {ed's note - I have no idea what will happen in the summer, but I do expect at least two more signings to arrive, not including Bent.}

Jan n' Summer:

In: Figuroa, N'Zogbia, Makoun, Bothroyd, Walker(Loan).

Out: Guzan, Cuellar, Warnock, Davies, Sidwell, Ireland, Salifou, A.Young, Carew.

N'Zogbia Replacement 4 Ash

Aston Villa Rumours
"Outs: Guzan 2.5M , Cuellar 3M , Davies 2.75M , Warnock 5M , Young 20M , Ireland 4M , Sidwell 3M , Carew 3M.
Total:43.25M

INS: Walker 3.5M , Sakho 9M , N’Zogbia 10M , Makoun 6.5M , Keane 7.5M. Total:36.5M

Net Spend: -6.75M "

Guzan is on loan. Cuellar's our best defender, to lose him for 3m when he was wanted by Madrid, wants to play for Spain and absolutely was our best player and kept us in the game against Sheffield United would be STUPID. Davies can go, Warnock can go. Young can't go unless we get a great replacement, N'Zogbia's a great player but not Young talented. Ireland should cost more than that, still a hugely wanted player, ego managers like Fergie or Bruce would want him because they think tehy can get the best out of him. Sidwell's gone and Carew's not going to West Bromich.

Walker most likely won't sign permanently as it's a test by Redknapp so we'll stick with Lichaj. Sackho? We can't afford him with Arsenal and Juventus around. N'Zogbia would be a good buy but not needed. Makoun only cost us 5m with a possibility of 2m more. Keane for 7.5m when a bid of 4m was accepted? Laughable, hugely laughable.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2011 21:29:55
Aston Villa Rumours
Solution For Us Transfer Wise (Jan & Summer):

GK: Theres No Sign Friedel Is To Old In His Performances And Probably Won't Be Replaced For The Time Being. Guzan Will Be Sold For Around 2.5M. This Gives Us Three Keepers: Friedel , Marshall , Parish.

DF: After The Shocking Decision To Let Warnock Go On Loan , Its Very Likely He Will Be Sold. Sakho Or Figuroa Will Come In At 9M And 6.5M Respectfully. Kyle Walker Also For 3.5M. Cuellar And Davies Will Be Sold.

MF: Ashley Young Will Leave For Around 20M And Will Be Replaced By N'Zogbia For 10M. Ireland Will Be Sold Along With Salifou.

ST: Hopefully , Villa Will Hijack Keane's Move By Offering 7.5-8M For Him. Carew Out , Most Likely To The Albion.

This Leaves Us With A Squad Of:

Friedel , Marshall , Parish
L.Young , Walker , Lichaj
Collins , Clark , Dunne , Beye
Albrighton , Pires
N'Zogbia , Downing
Reo-coker , Makoun , Petrov , Bannan , Delph
Keane , Agbonlahor , Heskey , Delefouneso

Outs: Guzan 2.5M , Cuellar 3M , Davies 2.75M , Warnock 5M , Young 20M , Ireland 4M , Sidwell 3M , Carew 3M.
Total:43.25M

INS: Walker 3.5M , Sakho 9M , N’Zogbia 10M , Makoun 6.5M , Keane 7.5M. Total:36.5M

Net Spend: -6.75M

Villa will look at strengthening their back four and striking roles. They will sign Wayne Bridge on loan from Man City and could sign Samba from Blackburn. Villa will sign Guillermo Andres Lopez (unknown player check news) from Villareal. Finally will either sign Neymar (probs too expensive) from Santos or J.Bothroyd from Cardiff

Moran Svareski from Steau Bucharest for a fee of around £2,000,000. Is in talks and he could be the man to fill in that gap up front. Svareski has earned the nickname of the Sharpshooter from the Bucharest fans. Though he is 30 years old, the hitman has still got it after bagging 19 goals in 25 games last season in the Romanian league.

Cheap but good.

Houllier either needs to be sacked or given money for new transfers.
Some of the players who have been looking for a move might start thinking about waiting abit to see if a new manager comes in.
Ireland, carew, sidwell, davies
this would mean no player sales, so no money for new transfers.
And hes already used 2 loans out of the 3 available on players that are not premiership standard.
So if he is not sacked or given money soon expect there to be very limited activity in the transfer window.

06 Jan 2011 09:48:39
Aston Villa Rumours
With villa seriously looking at houlliers position they will not spend money on people that randy leaner doesn't think will improve the squad, or that he knows nothing about.
Samba - Davies + 3m
Maybe 1 more loan deal

These arhttp://www.astonvillarumours.co.uk/editRumours3751.php?q=3751e the only transfers that will happen before the next prem game.

Also villa will not be selling warnock, although he is useless at times with lack of left backs at the club villa can't afford to sell him.

Id love to see fofana or diarra at villa, these are two likely players as they're french and houllier loves the french, so much so that he bought an ageing pires which lets be honest is a poor transfer but shows his faith in french players so expect french talent to come in. Especially in the midfield. Dont get your hopes up as villa fans always do in the transfer market, there is not going to be a huge amount of transfers. From what i hear 1 or 2 at the most. lerners looking to settle the books too so don't think it will be a massively big name like benzema and you can practically rule out santa cruz as his wages are stupidly high. so expect holding midfielders! stay locked.

Aston Villa Rumours

With Guzan on a short term loan at Hull , Marshall will deputise for the time being. Given may join on a season long loan in the Summer but not in January.

Firstly Richard Dunne is not leaving the club in January or in the Summer, his heroics on Sunday against Chelsea have drawn great praise from McAllister. Curtis Davies looks like hes on his way out. Carlos Cuellar is also heading out Spain being the likely destenation. Joleon Lescott may also join in a 6M deal.

In Midfield not much will happen though Niko Kranjcar will join as he is out of favour at Spurs. If Ashley Young decides to leave (15-20M) , the likely replacement is Charles N'Zogbia (11M).

Lastly the ongoing situation up front: (Carew , Delfouneso , Heskey and Agbonlahor have only scored 4 between them this season) Carew will be shipped out , probably to the Baggies. In response Robbie Keane will join as part of a combined fee (Kranjcar) of 12M.

Leaving the club will be Davies (5M) , Cuellar (4M) , Sidwell (2.5M) , Salifou (Release) , Ireland (6.5M) and Carew (4.5M) .

This Leaves Us With An Outline Squad Of:

Friedel , Given , Marshall , L.Young , Beye , Lichaj , Warnock , Lowry , Collins , Dunne , Lescott , Clark , A.Young/N'Zogbia , Albrighton , Downing , Pires , Reo-Coker , Petrov , Delph , Kranjcar , Bannan , Keane , Agbonlahor , Heskey , Delefouneso.

Villa will sign makoun as he is french. But they will also attempt to sign Robert lewandowski from borussia Dortmund. But as hes just joined he won't proba join. He will sign another striker who will probs be an unheard starlet.

Aston Villa Rumours
With Guzan leaving on a short term loan we could push Parish up the ranks or Marshall into covering for Friedel. Friedel will stay. McGregor may make the switch to Villa Park in the Summer but not in January, Given is another possibility. This area is not a pressing concern for Houllier as we are pretty strong.

Firstly Richard Dunne is not leaving the club in January or in the Summer, his heroics on Sunday against Chelsea have drawn great praise from McAllister (if you don't believe me look for yourself on Villa website). As well all know Curtis Davies will be on his bike, he is in search for a new PL club, Blackburn will be the destination as he will be used as the make weight for Chris Samba to join us for aroung 6 million. I don't see any LB joining the squad unless we make a loan move for either Bridge or Lescott. Thats the Defence Sorted.

In Midfield no more than a couple of changes will be made, Reo-Coker will be involved more and players are coming back from injury that have done well for us in the past. For thsi reason i see one of Sissoko or Makoun to join, Houllier has worked with both these players before, i think he will favour Sissoko due to his Premier League experience. Wide areas are more or less covered, Kranjcar will not be joining, he will stick at Spurs for the time being. Bentley will not be signed either. Sessegnon is a potential signing, Houllier will probably go for French players as that is his area of expertise so Sessegnon may join to allow Young to have more freedom in the middle of the pitch.

Lastly we have the situation up top, Carew, Deflounesou, Heskey and Agbonlahor have only scored 4 between them this season - a shameful tally considering the fact it is January. Carew will be shipped out, probably to the Baggies. In response we will sign one of Adebayor, Bendtner or Santa Cruz. Adebayor or Santa would be loan moves i would think with a permanent switch to be more likely at the end of the season. Cummings is likely to join on loan also with a view to a $2.3 million switch in summer if things go well.

Leaving the club as previously mentioned will be Davies and Carew. Expect them to feth arounf 7 or 8 million. Lowry will go out on loan for first team experience. Beye will leave the club for a small fee and Sidwell will leave the club, probably to West Ham but he seems to be stalling.

Our first team line up will be:

Friedel

Young
Dunne/Samba
Collins/Samba< br> Warnock

Petrov
Sissoko

Agbonlahor
You ng
Downing

Santa Cruz

Thats all for now from Villain!

Expect Safari at left back and Makoun in midfield for a combined fee of around £10 million. Villa will also get Adebayor or Macheda on loan. Villa also have an interest in Samba and may let Davies or Warnock go in the opposite direction.
Carew and Beye are going along with Sidwell. Dunne is back in favour and Ireland is now doing well in training so may stay as well.
If the Makoun deal does not happen expect Sissoko.

Players from the French League appeal to Houllier as they are the players he knows best, i would expect 2 Frenchmen to come in, Sessegnon and Makoun. Sessegnon would enable Young to play more centrally as this is becoming a preferred position for him. Bendtner will be Carew's replacement, which would be a great piece of busienss and finally Samba will join in a partial swap deal for curtis davies.

No actual quote for these links but there more believable from the nonsense some little villa fans post on here especially the comment below me from the little gimp.

Ins: (probably)
Samba/Davies swap
Fofana (young DM, french U19 captain)
Possibly jean makoun
Rumour of adebayor on loan
Bafetomi Gomis
Wheater

Only expect maybe 2 signings made possibly 3, Lerner does not give two s* ts about the club so he won't invest much.

Outs: (The obvious)
Ireland
Dunne
Carew
Sidwell
Beye


And im afraid possibly Young, if not january then the summer.
