MON set to take Gabby sunderland for a fee of 8m and one of Collins/dunne will go with him as in different reports they change which one is going but a senior centre back will go with Gabby in a deal totaling 10-12m

Would be sorry to see Gabby go, but £8m for a guy who's scored something like 8 league goals in 2 seasons is a great deal. Would bite their hands off, as long as Lambert is given the money to reinvest. I would throw both Collins and Dunne in for free - they are useless !!

If we can get £8 million plus for Gabby we should rip his arm off. Gabby never looks like scoring and when he is through on goal my money has always been on him missing. Take the money and run the same way we did with Luke Moore

How long has it been suggested MON wants Gabby?!? about 1 1/2 years! (including 2 transfer windows).
Offer £15m & I'll be intrested in selling Gabby , otherwise no deal!

Good deal for Villa if it happens.Looks almost to good to be true.
CR

Let him go for that much without his pace he would never be a prem player take £8 million and try and get defoe or maybe zaha if want young player

O'Neill's wanted Gabby for a year and a half? Really? Why would O'Neill have wanted Gabby when he wasn't even in football management? {Ed043's Note - im sure o'neil will have kept an eye out for gabby when he was out of managment as all managers do with players they like or think would be good signings}

Hi Ed

Hearing that Villa are chasing Celtic's LB Emilio Izaguirre, Honduras international age 26. Any news on this as would be a great replacement for Warnock. Also linked with Bertrand from Chelsea although this bid appears to be coming to nothing as Chelsea see him as Ashley Coles long term replacement. {Ed043's Note - the rumours about bertrand apear to be true and chelsea have been rumoured to have rejected a bid for bertrand, as for iraguirre there has been a few links and i would imagen that if we cant obtain the services of bertrand we will more than likely go for him to replace warnock}

Warnock is on his way out - finally!
Izaguirre is top quality but Bertrand would be ideal as we have a name for creating English stars.

Villa and qpr interested in defoe but qpr are favourites at the moment

Villas-Boas has stated he isn't for sale!
Bent & Defoe would be great but I don't see it.

^ You're forgetting Bent and Defoe didn't exactly work wonders together at Spurs!

They were never given a fair crack! Jeanette was always first choice then Defoe then bent. They never had a good run together which I think would be a good strike force!

Keane!! Whoops haha

Whilst I like both Defoe and Bent as goalscorers, they are way to similar, extremely one dimensional. Would be great to have both in the squad, but not in the same team, and we can't afford to pay someone the wages that Bent/Defoe are on to sit on the bench. Never gonna happen. {Ed043's Note - Defoe is not on as much as you would expect because spurs have a low wage cap and with the amount of wages that are leaving the club it is possible however i highly doubt that defoe would be willing to leave spurs as he recently built a house right next to the training camp so would probbly not be willing to leave}
