I'd be pleased with keeping Heskey.

They say they want to bring down the wage bill which is fair but we have signed a massive deal with FX pro, Seat, Heineken, sold 29,000 season tickets, We finished 6th last season and got to Wembley twice!

Where is the money?

Also Harewood, Shorey, Milner & Bouma are off the wage bill and we have sold Miler at a profit so why can't that money be put into the team?


Our wage bill last season was 85% of turnover, Randy wants to get it down to 60%. Our turnover has increased due to the sponsorships meaning that the 60% is going to be closer to where we were anyway. I would guess that RL didn't want to see anymore Marlon Harewood's seeing out their contract and leaving without really being a part of the squad and having no value at all, that's fair enough for me. I fully expect money to be made available if required.

I would be very pleased with Heskey to Cetic.

Rumours up here that he might not be the only former Villain to be moving to Parkhead in some capacity. Indeed, I was accosted by someone in the street who mentioned it earlier today.

What on earth is Steve Bruce doing?

Currently, his first choice back four will presumably be:

Angeleri, Turner, Mensah, Richardson

Which leaves:

Onuoha, Bramble, Kilgallon, McCartney, Bardsley, Al-Muhammadi, Nosworthy, Ferdiand and Da Silva as defenders left on the books.

I'd be pleased with keeping Heskey to carry the balls and wash the kit.

Kenwyne Jones medical at Stoke........Heskey to Bruce?

They've signed him for £8m. Good deal for them.

Over priced, over rated one season wonder as far as I'm concerned

Just think, this time tomorrow Stephen Ireland might be a Villa player. A signing. Jesus in Heaven, I won't know what to do.

If he is that'd be great, the money talked about plus Ireland for Milner would be terrific.

And I concur. File alongside Cole, Carlton and Zamora, Bobby.

I know exactly what I'd do if we sign Ireland tomorrow. Celebrate madly!

There's a reason Jones is signing for Stoke, it shouldn't take one too long to work it out!

Heskey can cover at centre half, he did it at Leicester...

He'll recognise who to pass to.
