Working on the presumption that the Milner money is there to spend, what would people predict as likely signings by our prospective new managers?

If it's Koeman I think he'll go for Huntelaar, although that might be wishful thinking on my part based on the Hollan connection and the fact I really like Huntelaar. You'd also be hopeful of him finding a good midfielder from Dutch football.

K-Mac has no track record so it's hard to guess what he'll do, but I'd suspect a domestic signing only that he'll have good knowledge of, so maybe the rumoured Keane deal would be completed?

Klinsman is a funny one for me as I somehow don't think he'd to the predictable and target German players. I wouldn't be surprised if he told Randy to hold on and he'll assess the squad then spend in January.

Leicester city want Heskey ... *prays*

If we sell Heskey to Leicester it's going to cost us a fortune in the wages pay off he'd demand. We'd be better off flogging him to a PL club, if at all possible!

Well, we might get a couple of million for him, which would obviously be batter than having to keep him AND pay his vast salary.

Now don't laugh,
A delivery driver who comes to our building is a season ticket holder at Leicester City and we have our football chats about Martin, Leicester and Villa and he told me that a good source at his club and several of his friends have told him that Ivanhoe will be joining them this season, possibly on loan.

Not saying I wouldn't take that, just that £2m from Leicester would really speaking be a worse deal than £2m from someone like Stoke or Bolton.

i am praying that emule will be leaving... i dont care where, or for how much, i just dont want him polluting his crapness anywhere near the villa...

Heskey on loan is a waste of time.
We'd still be paying his bloody wages, and he'd end up coming back !

10 million for Heskey? Oh go on then Mandaric, you drive a hard bargain.

Hope somebody buys Heskey, rather than loaning him out. He's contracted until 2013 (cheers O'Neill), so need to sell him.

Heskey has three years left? Surely not, he'd be pushing 36 at the end of his contract...

eamonn · « **Reply #9298 on:** August 20, 2010, 03:48:25 PM »

Pretty sure he signed a 3.5 year deal when he signed, January last year meaning he'll be out of contract at the end of next season.

Signed age 31 on a 3.5 year contract.

How much use we thought we'd be getting out of a 33 or 34 year old Emile is beyond me.
