Fofana - wow from youtube clip. he can pass and defend perfick. That the sort of signing I want to see for Aston Villa. He can play for us for years with Delph, Bannan, Reo Coker, Young (assuming he want to stay) and Albrighton and Gary Gardner. The midfield will be sorted for a decade and could be our famous middle 4 like Arsenal famous back 5 with dixon, winterburn, adams, keown and bould.

I don't want experience players 28-30 as they won't be hungry. Especially in Premier League

Every club is a 'selling club' if stupid money is offered.

If we're offered a ridiculous amount, let him go and use the money to bring others in.

If the club signs these sort of players , it will make the like of Ash Young etc want to stay...

Our team has declined from the peak of 2008  because we did not have the financial power   and  management  know how to buy  better players to  kick on. This has resulted in likes of Barry, Milner and now Young being enticed away by Agents who were able to sell them the "dream ticket". We need to sign  these  exciting players from abroad to re-inforce the belief and  give  ourselves a chance of  keeping the  likes of Albrighton and Bannan in 3/4 years time.

There's a clause in Ireland's contract which will allow us to cancel it if he is certified insane.

But his agent claims there is no sanity clause

You're wasted on these Philistines.

Well, it depends what "crazy money" is.
I want to keep Ashley Young but if a daft offer comes in, and lets face it, that could really only come from Man City, Chelsea or Real Madrid, you'd have to consider it. Especially if he hasnt signed a new contract.
I'd rather we sent out the message
'Not for sale under any circumstances'
Losing Milner weakened us, but losing our most threatening player would really fuck us up.
It would also confirm that we ARE a selling club.

Uncertain and worrying times.

I agree with the not selling Young plea, and for the same reasons.

I also agree that we are in uncertain times, but for some strange reason I'm not worried.

I still have faith in Randy & Co.

Captain of the France under 20s, looks quality on YouTube. £800k?! Sounds unrealistically cheap!

He's into the last six months of his contract with Le Harve I believe, so that figure, if accurate, is a good price for all parties in the circumstances. I'd like to think we're adding sell on clauses or more money after so many appearances or international call ups, to keep Le Harve sweet and that we're conducting ourselves in the gentlemanly manner which helped us steal a march when acquiring Fabian Delph from Leeds.
As said before teams like Le Harve, who have a reputation for blooding good youngsters, would make very good allies in the long run.
