Agree that I'd much rather have Walcott and think Wenger might be tempted and hopefully the player too. He's not exactly guaranteed a start at Arsenal.



Gabby and Walcott up top would give players like Ireland and Young floating about in midfield a hell of a lot of room, just from how deep you’d have to defend. Unless you’re Bolton of course where you’d play your annual suicidal highline against us.

Have we heard from anybody more reliable than some tabloid gobshite that Milner wants out then?
I'm prepared for it although it will be a bit annoying and I'd rather he stayed.

If so, I hope we take the complete piss out of them and get Ireland, Richards and Hart in return. Then we can spend our budget and whatever funds we get on a striker, right winger and quality defensive midfielder.

You know those people who used to come on and say they have cast iron inside information about some transfer activity  --- well where are they?

I miss them. We need something to give us some excitement even if it only lasts for a few seconds.

okay. I know he's going. Can't tell you how, just have this feeling that he'll start the season in a Man City shirt. In fact I'll bet anyone any money it happens.

Peter, wont that confuse our midfield if he is running around in a shite blue shirt when we are all in claret and blue?  I dont think the ref will allow it to be honest

It's no more statistics than a game of Championship Manager is. It's what their people think a variety of players are worth. And they are more often than not massively wrong.

They value Delfouneso at £1.25m and Heskey at £4.5m.

They value Milner at £15.3m and Barry at £16.5m

They value Vedran Corluka at £13.5m and Gareth Bale at £5.85m.

They value Jamie Carragher at £15.3m and Gary Cahill at £5.25m

They might as well be playing some ridiculous transfer market version of pin the tail on the donkey.

Quite suprised to see we have one of the oldest squads too at average of 27.6 yrs old, although I guess Brad Snr skews that a bit

One thing that isn't their own opinion is the agew thing and I'm slightly worried about our squad being the 7th oldest.  I don't think the starting 11 is a problem, but I would like to see the players shipped out replaced with younger versions.

Yes me too. Though Bouma and Harewood, and probably Salifou, have already gone, and that'll bring the age down a bit.

Ship out Luke Young, Shorey, Sidwell and Heskey to boot.

I'm pretty sure the likes of Fonz, Clark, Albrighton, Gardner 2, Weimann etc could be more useful than some over the older donkeys we have. For starters they'll have a bit of youthful exuberance.

Having Friedel in the squad will increase our average age by almost a year. With Marshall last year as well that aged us considerably.

Milners gone. He decided well over a month ago to leave Villa.

I think most of us real people on here know hes gone. Its just getting the right price for Villa.     I was gutted at first when I heard but when I heard what the fee could be, it softened the blow.
