Villa have had Lokomotiv Moscow striker Dmitri Sychev looked at a few times now, so expect a bid come the summer, plus a double raid on Wigan for Maynor Figueroa & Charles N'Zogbia depending Ashley Young moves on? (Gerard Houllier is thought not to be interested in any swap deals involving Young as he has his own targets he's set on)

Rumors of Steve Mandanda and Nedum Onuoha also circulating plus a lavish attempt to lure Yuri Zhirkov away from Chelsea.

The usual suspects look set to leave Warnock, Beye, Heskey, Pires, Petrov to Sampdoria?

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}

I have just heard from a close source that Villa are looking to Sir Clive Woodward to come in and help with the mental state of some of the players. It will be based on a similar role that he had at Southampton. It is hoped that he will be in place before this weekends vital match against the Toon Army.

Houllier is leaving Villa in the Summer with the POSSIBILITY of having Steve Bruce (Sunderland) , david moyes (Everton) or Rafa Benitez (Non - Recently fired by Inter Milan)

Bruce possible purchases:
- Gyan
- Gordon

Moyes possible purchases:
- Jagielka
- Cahill
- Distin

Benitez possible purchases:
- Lots of spanish youngsters no-one has ever heard of + Return of "The Robot"( crouch)

What a load of rubbish.

Houllier is staying and is getting rid of a lot of the dead wood at Villa Park, expect experienced players to come in and rub shoulders with the youth team.

He has been told to cut the wage bill, Makoun is on 35k a week, Petrov is on 60 and NRC is on 50k Makoun is seen as a better buy. Bent is on 60k a week is a prolific scorer in the Prem carew was on 70k not as prolific. The board like what he is doing and the blame is on MON the players and the board for selling Milner not GH
