Lets hope he bags a striker aswell as Makoun while he's out there because that should be the No 1 priority

Stopping leaking goals should be our first priority. Our defensive performances have been absolutely shocking so far this season.

I still CANNOT believe we're being tight pricks regarding Makoun's price. It's £1 million extra Lyon want, we're prepared to pay £6 million, is paying another million really going to put us into doom and gloom? Wind your fucking neck in Houllier and just stop being so immature. Why are you bidding for both Adam and Makoun? Do you realise how much of a joke you're gonna look like if you don't sign either one?

Perhaps Houlier values him at a certain price and isn't prepared to go any higher or he's just trying to get the best deal for Aston Villa. Just because the selling club values a player at a certain price doesn't mean that the buying club piles straight in and meets that price. I think it's called negotiating.

That's something coaching should be able to fix rather than spunking £10M/£20M on a new defence.

Save the money for that really special player.

Sissoko has been slating the Juventus manager and board in their papers, our papers reckon that means that he is definately, maybe joining us for £6m.

Not too sure about either of them to be honest.

Apparently its in relation to the Makoun deal.

Stands a chance but there are plenty of other reasons why he might be visiting his homeland. I just think that other site gets carried away inventing whole scenarios from minimal information.

Maybe, but it's Mat Kendrick saying he has gone for that purpose though.

Never really noticed Figueroa, apart from that wonder goal at Stoke. A new left back or left back cover is needed.

I've always rated Rodallega, in a (currently not much) better team I think he'd be very good. Good movement & he can finish.

I think they are both quality players, but the story could be bullshit.

I'd be surprised if Wigan were to let their 2 best players go, it would virtually guarantee their relegation.

Wigan always drive a hard bargain.

I'd imagine they'd want £15m for both.

Edit: The report says £10m for both. I'd be happy with that.

I'm probably in a minority but I'd prefer us to buy European players, the South American lads always seem well off the pace after flying back from the many internationals games.

I think that there some supporters who will not support Houllier no matter what he does, oh he hasn't got three world class players in yet, just proves how crap he is.

Yep. Signing Spurs reserves and bidding for a fat bastard from Blackpool
