Personally, and I know this may come across as being small minded, but we should never do business for players with Blose.

I feel exactly the same

I don't want to see any ex blues shit in a Villa shirt similarly I don't want to sell them Davies either, I'd rather see them go out of business

what about Ivanhoe ?

I've never liked him, He only looked half interested when Houllier arrived

He was playing for Wigan when we signed him a couple of years ago.

Preferably I don't want Davies going (as I still rate him and Villa fans have forgot how good he was) nor Larsson coming. If those inbreds are adamant on having Davies we have to take Larsson too. Take away the player who sets up all their goals.

Think about it.
If he was that good, would The Dog shit let him go?

They're not exactly over blessed with players, let alone creative ones.

I wonder if there really is anything genuine in this. According to reports, its Davies for £3.5m or £1.5m + Larsson, thus valuing Larsson at £2m. Well, how does that work if he was going to Newcastle for £500k and is out of contract in the summer?

I can understand Blose wanting to add a player if they have no cash, but it doesn't mean we should humour them. And if there is a deal to be done than Larsson is worth no more than a nominal fee. Certainly nothing more than half a million, if that.

They do want him but he won't sign a new contract, similar to Ashley Young with us.

Yea.

Considering how many goals he sets up for the Blose it's pathetic how much they pay him.

I don't think Larsson is a particulary great player, but he'd look a lot better in our team with all that pace and players to put the ball back in the net. Mcleish insists Birmingham play 4-5-1 (funny how he didn't last night...) but you can't play 4-5-1 without no pace in the team that's why Larsson may not look that tempting to some Villa fans.

Not a position we need to fill in my opinion.

If Davies goes to the sty, just take as much off them as we can and invest it in a left back / GK / creative central midfielder.

Maz,

You usually post a lot of sense on here when it comes to transfers and anything else Villa are up to. But Ridgewell? Are you taking the piss mate?

Well... yes.

I was just trying to say something vaguely dramatic to emphasise how indifferent I am to signing Larsson.

Phew!

If a player wants out of The Blues surely it is our moral duty to save him???  Larsson would be a good squad signing, for years we have been whingeing about not having enough depth to our squad, now we are whingeing about signing cover for our squad??  Get over it, the guy has something to offer, I don't believe he will start every week but I'd rather him play than cock face Pires.

As for Davies he has already had a 'run of games' while he was on loan at Leicester, if Houllier does not believe he is good enough now, it is time to cut our losses and get him out.  If that menas he goes to the Knuckledraggers, well, I feel sorry for him but fuck it, take the money and run.  You can't blame Curtis for wanting to stay in the Premiership instead of another loan spell at Leicester and having still no guaranteed team at the end of the season.

Houllier has, with the exception of Pires but he was free, made some excellent decisions in the transfer stakes so far, if he feels this is for the best maybe we should trust him, and not act like spolit little girls who aren't allowed a pony for christmas??

It's a good job we didn't have that thought when building our league and European cup winning team.

Larsson is a decent player, would be a useful sqaud memeber and Davies hasn't lived up to his potential so we need to offload. We have to be hard headed about this.

We do not want "squad players" in fact we have just started the process of getting rid of them. Sidwell, Shorey, Gardner, etc. Players we now want are replacements for first team players. Bent for Carew, Makoun for Reo/Petrov. Our Squad players are our up and coming young players. Bannan, Clarke, Baker. Larsson has been valued at £5oo,ooo. How much is Clarke or Bannan worth ? Loan out Davies (not to the scum) and if he comes good, get a better price for him while he is off the wage bill ..........

Davies isn't a bad defender on his day , but we have 4 quality centre halves already so can afford to let him leave, with dann injured he will probably play in the final for them, but when dann is fit I think Curtis will be a reserve there too.
