ThornTON Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Rumours of a second bid being made for Roque Santa Cruz. Would be a great signing IMO, although not sure where he'd fit in unless MON changes the formation. If they can keep Barry and sign another centre mid to challenge Reo and Petrov I'd be pretty happy with the squad. He'd need to play Carew's role, they couldn't both play in the same team. If we are going to play the same formation as last season, a 4123 almost (it was pretty difficult to explain as Ashley and Gabby ran about a lot!) then we can only have one central striker! Barry can't really stay now, although he'd be wasted at Anfield! I know we can afford Arshavin and he'd be ideal for the right hand side as neither Stan or Reo fit the bill, but I don't think we want a £50k+ player on the wage bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Gardner Knight Laursen Bouma (Barry) Reo-Coker Sidwell Petrov Young Agbonlahor Carew So he moved Ashley round a bit, but still left a central midfielder on the right wing! I feel really sorry for Wayne, he'd fit into left so much better than Reo!! We'll see what he does on Thursday against Hafnafjordur now that we have two fullbacks.

Heard rumour Arsenal were going to go for him but based on the fact only if Adebayor went to Barca. Would be a great addition to either team but for now dont think Arsenal need him.

ThornTON Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Squad list with numbers... 1) Brad Friedel 2) Luke Young 3) Wilfred Bouma 4) Steve Sidwell 5) Martin Laursen 6) Gareth Barry 7) Ashley Young 9) Marlon Harewood 10) John Carew 11) Gabriel Agbonlahor 13) Stuart Taylor 14) Nathan Delfouneso 15) Curtis Davies 16) Zat Knight 17) Moustapha Salifou 18) Wayne Routledge 19) Stiliyan Petrov 20) Nigel Reo-Coker 21) Nicky Shorey 22) Brad Guzan 26) Craig Gardner 27) Isaiah Osbourne 28) Shaun Maloney 29) Stephen O'Halloran which leaves 23-25 or 30+ for Carlos. Give him 23, although a Spaniard wearing that number and we know where the fecking English press will go with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThornTON Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 He's 6'3", his teeth are f***ed. He's Carlos Cuellar, Villa's centre-half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThornTON Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Martin's 750th day in charge on Saturday, so hopefully we can beat Stoke to make it a good day! They've signed a couple of guys who are waiting on work permits (Abdoulaye Faye and Haminu Dramani), neither of which particularly bother me, although if Faye were to miss out, their defence would be significantly weaker!

ThornTON Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Sadly Roque Santa Cruz has signed a new contract with Blackburn, would have liked to have seen MON try and sign him as Carew is the only real target man that we have at the club. Oh well, back to trying to pay far too much for James Milner! Surely there's an equally good right winger that we can get at a far cheaper price???

His agent has told Sky Sports News he will definitely be staying and wil be looking to sign a new contract next summer. Nobody wants to buy Gareth, so we'll try and get higher wages at Villa Park We haven't replaced him so it's probably for the best, plus you have Barry on the back of one of your Villa strips, don't you? Mine have Gabby and Carlos on the back, so no f***er buy them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cawston Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Milners put in a TR at Newcastle, strong rumours he could be coming to Villa. Neither up nor down about the possibility of signing him, always struck me as a fairly average player. Good news about Barry though, looking forward to Sunday now Along the track the train came puffin, Morton 1 Celtic nuffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanieMeany Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Can't help thinking that it is more than a wee bit sad that a bunch of also-rans like Villa merit more posts than a Scotland squad. Now, behave, and put Cuellar up front. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
