Yet again, the report was rubbished. Let’s wait and see what happens. All this speculation is enough to drive you crazy. I wouldnt surprise me though to see it get to the end of the month and see a couple go, just to late for us to bring anyone else in. Duxbury is clever like that.
What happened to his statement that no player was on more then 56k a week (still obscene)
What happened to the 11 million we made in transfers in the summer?
Don’t believe the press, dont trust Duxbury either!

If he’s not sold in Jan could we have Tevez back on loan till end of season, him and Bellamy would terrify any defence.

The boy knows where his home is. We could even have an agreement with Sir Alex that we wont field him when we play Man Utd then rip it up before the fixture, icing on cake would be if we draw Sheff Utd in the cup, we could play him against them too ( :

Sorry,but Villa boss Martin O’Neill has just said he has NOT put in an £11 million bid in for any of our players so it’s all a load of cobblers!!
Three quarters of what is written is tosh so why do we take notice of it?

If Parker is on 70k then we should sell. Thats at least 30k too much. Then we can give 10-15k of that to Rob Green.

Don’t want Bendtner. Too wasteful in front of goal. We should ask for Abu Diaby or someone else instead….one of their up and coming youngsters.

This is getting ridiculous – a non existent Villa bid is rejected!

A Daily Mail journo is heard to have said, ‘ We’d heard Upson would be playing in claret and blue after January’.

And these people have the cheek to complain about ‘standards’ in kids education!

I’ve read that we are in a battle with Everton for the services of Michael Johnson. This would make perfect sense to buy a player with bundles of potential and at the same time keep the medical team busy. Should get 5 – 10 games a season out of him.

Villa didn’t even produce Barry, they tapped him up and then nicked him from Brighton for next to no money… I think Brighton later sued for compensation…….

DevoDevo,

You may be thinking of Davide Lanzafame that is co-owned with Juventus and is on loan to Bari as of December. That is who sprang to mind when I read the rumour about Palermo meeting Nani. Fits Zola/Nani mould better than Mark Bresciano – he seems more a traditional West Ham import (used to be good four years ago) oops (Di Michele, Tristan!!)
