If, as we're being told, Liverpool have 'declared their interest in Ashley Young' without making a bid, then is this not tapping up of the most heinous variety, and worthy of several days' venomous bile squirted from the devil-boned quills of London/North West scrote-necked hacks? It fucking should bastard well be.


of course it is, but they are allowed because they used to be a top 4 club

We get accused of being a selling club - bad bad villa

we buy a top striker from an over achiving team - bad bad villa

we cant win !!

they all go on about why would he leave top 6 for us in bottom of league

its very close and lets see who finished where ?

i am sure we will finish above sunderland this season

With Ireland set to go to Newcastle, Carew gone to Stoke and Sidwell gone to wherever it is he ended up, the wages situation must be in our favour now despite the money on Bent. Might free up another loan in too towards deadline day.

All 3 confirmed loans out? Read about Carew-Stoke, thats about it and Sidwell out to Fulham, wasnt it?

Two premier loans allowed in (Walker) Sidwell is sold. (Fulham) Carew on loan. (Stoke) so we can still loan another premier player. And at least two "foreign" players or players from another division or league .......

Bent was a decent bit of business, but we need at least another defender (or two).

Good as he is, he can't do it alone and if we defend as we have for most of the season his impact will be minimal. Unless we're expecting Bent to score 2/3 every game.

Figueroa and Samba in, Davies, Warnock and Beye out would do me nicely.

Don't forget we've got rid of Bouma & Harewood off the wage bill since last season also.

Houllier says he isn't interested in Figueroa, I very much hope he isn't interested in Samba, I agree with the others.

Why can't we get rid of the likes of Salifou and Osbourne who are never going to make it?  I suppose it's because nobody wants them as their ability doesn't match the wages they are probably on so hopefully they can be moved on when their contracts expire. It beggars belief that they have contracts.

Makoun has been given the number 17 shirt, which is Salifou's.

Make of that what you will

Purely speculating then...

So that is Bouma, Harewood, Sidwell, Shorey, Carew, Salifou, Milner - about 260k a week maybe off the wage bill? With Ireland, Beye, Osborne, Reo Coker and Freidel likely to be by the end of the summer too. Another 200k - 450k a week ish overall -

Ins - Makoun maybe 40k and Bent 70k ish so 110k back on. Get 3-4 more in the time between now and the end of the summer, even on 50k a week we will have cut the wage bil by 4 million a year at least players wise.
