That lot for around 30 mill. That'll sort our side out.

 

sad thing is - its probably more than £30 million that lot.

30 million National Lottery tickets.

[Matt Collins]

Shinji Kagawa

Not that he'd be likely to want to come here

I think we should exploit the fact that there's a world cup.  a few squad players would probably welcome first team football (at minimal cost):

1. Kagaawa
2. DE Bruyne
3. Schurrle

Therefore spend 15m on a star, loan one player and have, 15m left over for the summer.

You'd think villa would have shown enough of their intent to manage these sorts of expectations by now!!

Make that 15 million.

You really think players who have signed for Chelsea a few months ago are going to give all that up to come here for less than 1/2 the wages they are currently on?

Apologies, they were the sort of players I would be targeting for a loan move (i.e. players that need to be playing to get on the plane to the WC), I'm not suggesting that they'd sign permanently.

I object to Luke Young being included in that list. He was a very good full back for us ...in both positions. Far better than we have now.

I imagine he is on the list as he we could have signed him for £2.5m, but we decided to wait a season and spent £6m on him instead.

He was average at best, and got a nose bleed going forward.

I like Luke Young. He was solid and reliable, if wholly unspectacular. But honestly he still epitomised O Neill's worst tendancies. 5 million for an aging player on a long, big, contract. And as had been suggested, Luke Young had been made available to us a year previously for about half the fee we ended up playing, but O Neill didn't go for it.
