Better add a number 6 to that list.
-
I would be happy with,
1 Given or Foster
4 Naughton or Enrique (would prioritise a fb over a cb now unless Carlos is sold, right or left ok as Young can cover both)
6 Parker
8 N'Zogbia
10 Kranjcar (or a similar wide option, who could play inside as well if poss)

Shefki Kuqi?
Saying that I'd better not tempt fate...
-
What a crap squad that looks :(
-
I'd expect us to 'fill' 1, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 15
Would've been much scarier if all those numbers had been taken, at least this shows we're looking for a number of first team players.
-
Let's all choose them as lottery numbers!
-
Missing ones i would like to see include ;
1 Given
4 Cahill
6 Parker
8 N'Zogbia
10 Defoe
-
I don't see the appeal of reuniting Bent & Defoe, it didn't work at Spurs so why would it work here?
-
Sturridge for Defoe and you've got a deal Dazvillain

Don't dislike your selections against mine but i think Sturridge will be too pricey and maybe McLeish knows more about Dann than us and is not worth pusuing. He had surgery in late January and may not be recovering well enough as he has not played since ?
-
Parker would have 8.
Surprised Marc didn't take 8, Delph 6 and Clark 4 though, tbf.

An addition now...thats another an additional gap, not incoming
Now we are looking for at least a 1, 4, 6, 8 ,10 and now 24

Any suggestions for the bonus ball?
-
It will be a bloody bonus when we sign someone. By my calculations if Cuellar goes we will be 15 gone and nil in.
Downing, Young, Friedel,Coker, Carew, Salifou, Cuellar, Walker, Pires, Osbourne, Forrester, Arsenio Halfhuid, Ellis Deeney, Calum Flanagan, and Durrell Berry .
What sort of bonding/pre season is he planning ?
Only team in Premier to have nil signings, on top of all those outgoings, its pathetic

Spurs still have pavchenko,keane,crouch,Hutton and a few more taking big wages and Everton can't shift any players either. Yes our youngsters will have a big part to play in the squad but surely our new manager can now go out and buy 4/5 players.

Another day gone, and still no numbers filled up...gonna be a thread bare squad this year

Who's Nathaniel Clynne? He sounds like an escapee from a law practice in a Dickens novel.

The new number 42 with be the answer to everything
An experienced impact player to bring on late in the game.

At last...no 1 captured, now 4,6,8 and 10 to go, for starters
-
They pick us up then drop us down...reported tonight that McLeish has said only 1 more signing...why didnt they utilise the 1-11 numbers in the squad more effectively...Albrighton could have had 10 etc
-
We desperately need a superstar at number 8.
What's Robert Pires up to?

In his interview at press conference with Shay Given. On AVTV. Said that would prob be just 1 more as wanted to utilise players which didnt feature last year like Warnock and Ireland

In the late 1990s, I was at Fenway Park in Boston for a game. Two guys behind me were discussing the retired numbers displayed on the roof of the right field stand. They ran thro' the numbers but got stumped at the "42".
Numpty 1 - "Why's 42 in blue but the others are in red ?"
Numpty 2 - "That's for Mo Vaughn, its ub a different color because he hasn't retired yet"

I thought that they were joking but they were being serious
This was followed by a certain Brit having to explain the story of Jackie Robinson to a pair of Americans ::)
-
James Collins has been given the Number 6 shirt.
-
Wonder how many people have had Collins 29 on their new shirts?
-
N'Zogbia has been given no. 10
-
Surprised a change has happened this late. Should have given Delph or Albrighton 8.
-
James Collins has been given the Number 6 shirt.
Where did you see that, still 29 on the OS, mind you Zoggy not even listed yet

Cheers, suppose that makes sense as Downing was holding 6 at the original listing. On that basis, wondered if Cuellar could have had 4 as it doesn't look likely there are any more coming in now. 4 and 8 still vacant in the "first 11". Albrighton could have had 8 maybe. Anyone think we may have a couple of loan signings ?

By Paul Brown
Reading unofficial fan websites, it's fair to say that the signing of Charles N'Zogbia has really captured the imagination of supporters - and that's certainly showing up big time in shirt sale in Villa Stores.
A total of seven in every ten shirts purchased from either Villa Village or New Street at present features the combination 'N'Zogbia 10', showing the esteem he is held in already by the claret and blue faithful.
His all-action style, ability to score and set up chances has obviously already endeared him to the Villa Store shoppers.
He is still a way behind Darren Bent who is number one on the shirt name and number list so far this summer.
'Bent 9' has sold in excess of 2,000 shirts already, a figure head of merchandising John Greenfield describes as "phenomenal".
Stan Collymore holds the all-time record for shirt name and number sales.
During his time with Villa, 40% of shirts sold bore his name and number. Greenfield admits, however, that Bent is well on his way to surpassing Collymore in top spot in the all-time list.
Bent, he says, is second in that countdown but is chasing Collymore and should beat him, given a good spell of time in the Villa shirt.
Interestingly, there is a definite trend towards the 'young lions' too in popular combinations.
Bent is number one, followed by N'Zogbia while Marc Albrighton and Fabian Delph come in third and fourth respectively.
Greenfield is particularly not surprised.
He added: "We are a club closely associated with bringing through quality youngsters all the way from the academy to the first team.
"In the past we have seen Gabby Agbonlahor, Gareth Barry and - even further back - the likes of Tony Daley and Mark Walters blast into senior reckoning after coming up through the ranks.
"Villa fans appreciate this and shirt sales follow suit. Marc is an immensely popular lad. You only have to hear the reception for him at Villa Park on matchday to see that.
"Fabian is a young lad looking to make a big impact and supporters have obviously been listening intently to the comments of Alex McLeish who has said in his press conferences this season already that he expects Fabian to be a class act in the future."
Shay Given also appears in the top five list, following his move from Manchester City.
Other popular combinations in the Villa Stores are 'Villa 4 Ever' and 'McGrath 5' as fans show off their loyalty to the club and their former heroes.
The Villa Store at Villa Village should be buzzing even further over the next month, too, with news that we will be having player signing sessions on designated days in the coming weeks.
It's a move that Greenfield is extremely "excited" by, along with the mass of fan support in Villa Stores over the past few weeks.
He added: "I know it's not a particularly healthy time economically but I've been delighted and excited by the level of support shown by our fans in the shops.
"Shirts, training tops, tracksuits - you name it, fans have been buying it. I have been thrilled. Long may it continue."

Collymore? FFS!
-
With Collins switching to the number 6 shirt, potentially 9 of the starting 11 at Fulham could be made up of players wearing 1 to 11. I know it's a totally pointless post but I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to the numbering of shirts and position played in accordance to shirt number.
I was delighted when Bent got the number 9 shirt, if only we could find someone worthy to wear the number 8.

Same here mate.Can't be doing with forwards wearing number 4 etc.Mind you I remember Harewood getting the number 9 shirt...........................

Never before or since have i felt such excitement about a signing only to ultimately end up so disappointed.Winds me right up whenever that tosser refers to "My beloved Aston Villa".Disgrace

Get in Parker and Barton for numbers 8 and 4 and we're sorted.

Agreeing with you now.

What a wasted talent.that night against Athletico he showed what he was capable of.Unfortunately he only showed it very briefly.I had quite a heated row on the Holte with a fella who was giving Dublin stick saying he wasn't fit to lace Collymore's boots.If not so super Stan had a tenth of big Dion's desire he'd have been a world beater.How he's got the brass neck to spout his guff on radio is beyond me.

Why didn't Makoun just take the number 4 shirt?
-
Get in Parker and Barton for numbers 8 and 4 and we're sorted.

Would be well happy with that.
A decent number 7 would be good as well.
-
Why didn't Makoun just take the number 4 shirt?
Ha always has 17. In respect to a friend of his who passed away
-
Why didn't Makoun just take the number 4 shirt?
He wears 17 as a tribute to his late friend Marc-Vivien Foe.

If you take transfer price inflation into account, the price we paid for Collymore is one of the highest fees every paid for a player in the Premier League era. Heskey and Wright-Phillips right up there to.

Mat Kendrick has tweeted that Villa have clarified McLeish' comment about strengthening - "avfc tell me Eck's 'need to strengthen' comment referred to putting more senior players in with last night's line up, not new signings."
-
What that actually means is that he wants to strengthen but we're not going to so don't raise your hopes.
