A CB and a decent left back and then we'd be in business.

I did not realise that Enrique only has 12months left on his contract, so we could actually benefit from circumstances for once, getting him reasonably cheaply.

Is Foster that good really? Not sure about players bombed out of Mold Trafford by Sir Alex,he doesn't get many wrong bar the odd God-like exception of course. Not sure after one season Foster is the answer. I'd happily have another year of Brad plus Robinson.

From what I have seen, Foster is excellent, without him they would be down allready and they would not have even got to the LC Final let alone win it.

Pique, Rossi, Shawcross, Forlan, Tevez...

That's probably enough to be going on with.

Just raid whoever goes down.

With that mentality, I'm hoping for Wolves - Hennesey, Jarvis, Doyle and O'Hara please.

Hargreaves on a free. Probably not worth it but he'd be worth checking out.

Sorry if you're being incendiary.

Foster is a bloody good keeper, and has stats to prove it this season. Blues would have been relegated weeks ago if for Foster.

From Mail on Sunday, Man City expressing interest in signing Ash.  As much as I hate Man City, this could prove beneficial if we could get Adam Johnson in part exchange.....

Adam Johnson is far too good for them to let go..... Milner in exchange however....

Rumour circulating yesterday Ash to City and Milner back to Villa with cash 

Cant see it but would drive Ashley to manchester and collect Milner for the round trip forget the extra cash !!

Mancini clearly doesn't rate either that highly as he rarely starts them. I think Johnson has failed to live up to the hype, he's got ability but doesn't seem prepared to put the work in, of the 2 I'd take Milner every day of the week. That said, it's almost certainly not going to happen.

And if you were to break down on the way up, i'd come and tow you the rest of the way, no sweat.
