Now he is 30 - so if that arguament was brought up, fair enough, but saying he isn't good enough , or "average" is absolutely stupid !
It's not. He's a completely pointless player. Can't tackle, can't score, can't run. He can pass fairly nicely, but if we want somebody who does nothing apart from move slowly and pass it then we still have two years left on Petrov's contract.

You're not going to get 1 season of reliability out of Hargreaves. If he was a horse he'd have been shot 2 years ago.

Aren't you the poster who also said Cameron Jerome had a comparable scoring record to Gabby too?

I tell you another that for totally nothing, could be a great signing - Hargreaves !

We all know about his injuries, but if you could get that one season of fairly reliability - you have the best player in that position in Europe.

better than Salifou, Osbourne and Gabby !


Getting one match of reliability out of Hargreaves is seemingly a problem.

And if your definition of someone being a good signing is 'better than Salifou or Osborne' then you have the lowest standards ever. I'm assuming the Gabby bit was a joke.

You'd be lucky to get 20 minutes football out of Owen Hargreaves, never mind 1 season. Way way too much of a risk, he should call it day. In fact i'm surprised he has'nt already.

I'm assuming he's just walked in from the pub.

a) jerome - no not me, I dont think I've ever actually watched him play - so don't bother putting words in my mouth in future,

And for the one above that

B) - sorry mate, are you pissed or something. You are an utter joke,

Michael Carrick can't do anything you say.

tell you what - you'd better get yourself to Wembley coz you are clearly a better manager than Alex fergusun aren't you, coz he has picked this utter clown of a footballer for 10 of the 11 champions league games this yeat and I would have thought, without your devine intervention, he will pick him again !

QUICK - get down the M40 !!!!!

(utter joke, I sometimes think Villa fans have just crawled off the set of Crossroads !)

Bassong rather? Boumsong was the donkey at Newcastle.

I wanted him when he went there but he seems to have had a poor time of it. I can think of worse players to sign. A move might be what he needs. I do think he will need a strong and dominant partner.

I'm usually the one having  a go when we sign players from relegated teams but to be honest I'd go down the road, offer the alliance about 5m for Dann , about 8m for Foster and then go and get Der hammer back on a free.

Foster and Dann to start, Hitz as a bench player , all for about 13m (although I think Dann will end up in Scouseland) and then we can spend the real money where we need it

Oh what a surprise

Carrick starts !

You lot are ridiculous do you know that !

If Carrick said he wanted to come to the Villa, I'd throw roses down at his feet and smell his farts.

he is a better and classier midfielder than we have had since Cowans.

Who you gonna say is not good enough for us next - Messi, Rooney , maybe Puyol ?

  For me if Downing and AYoung go, and we get N'Zogbia and Adam, then i would'nt be too disappointed with that.

  We need to sign Walker, and as for LB, i would sign the Wigan LB.

  Goalie, Foster for me, and sign that Capote for central midfielder.

  Would'nt be too bothered if Gabby goes either.
