Summer 2010 Transfer Thread: B*llsh*t, Rumours & Wishes
Posted by KONSPIRACY on 12 Mar, 2010 00:43
Based on the presumption that MONs available transfer budget may depend on where we finish this season, what level we'll be competing in Europe next season, and getting rid of some of the current squad...which players do you think we should be realistically targeting to bring to Villa Park in the summer?

There will be a lot of players putting themselves in the shop window during the World Cup, so which players have caught your eye and could improve the current Villa squad?

I'll start the ball rolling with a few that have already been mentioned on here:

GK: Joe Hart
MID: Jamie O'Hara
FWD: Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
FWD: Nicklas Bendtner

Just seen Heskey described as a "defensive striker" wow that sounds so official it almost sounds acceptable ........ O`Hara top shout. Need a foreign unfound gem ??

id get rid of beye and sign nathaniel clyne as back up to luke young, wouldn't mind park from man utd as back up to ash and downing, altho i doubt they'd let him go as i reckon he's worth a fair bit to them in the asian market, we obviously need a creative midfielder such as van der vaart and a striker like darren bent wouldn't go a miss, piece of piss this management lark ;)

I still hold the opinion that Mikel Arteta & Darren Bent are the creative midfielder & 15-goals-a-season striker we're looking for.

As for luke25's suggestion of Park Ji Sung, he's one of Red Nose's trustable player hence doubt he will sell. If he intends to sell &/or the Korean wants a new challenge, I guess there would be a line of clubs willing to sign him.

Park is brilliant for United as he works like a dog wherever he is played, and as such Fergie would never let him go. I don't think he would be that good elsewhere either.

Striker - we should have bought Bent a year ago, and should still buy Bent.

Liked the look of a couple of the Lille players last night. Creative midfield and defensive midfield need buying to challenge Milner and Petrov, while I think a really fast winger that gets to the dead ball line would be useful.

Arteta would be great. Getting on a bit, mind. Won't happen, but it's a good shout.

Joe Cole is nailed on to go to United isn't he? And in fairness their midfield needs a couple of top players to improve them sufficiently, so doubt Cole will be possible.

I would like us to go and get Ireland - think that is a very decent shout. I would have a nibble at Pavlychenko too, and maybe take O'Hara, always looks a good player.

Eden Hazzard and Carlton Cole.

Both gettable, and both would improve the two areas that need strengthening.
