Summer transfer rumours, speculation and out-and-out b*ll*cks.

Alex McLeish will have a £40m war chest to help him hit the ground running in his new job at Aston Villa. Full story: Sunday Mirror

Well I hope that's true and doesn't take into account Ash's transfer fee, but I doubt it.

He's going to need at least that much just to sort the defence.

Lest we forget, we've no goalkeeper, no right back, a left back who sits in the corner crying all the time, two centre backs who need to leave the club as soon as possible, and another one who, as soon as he can walk again, wants to go back to playing in Scotland.

wes brown of 10 years ago maybe.. he's managed barely a season's appearances in 3 years. We'd be calling him deadwood if he was here and at 33 he is.

[Mazrim]

The Sunday Mirror say McLeish is being handed a "£40m warchest".
Because they would know this.

brown is easily a step up from anything we have - who would he not get in our team in front off now?

would collins or dunne keep him from centre back? maybe luke young at right back?

wise up - brown (as indeed would o'shea) would stroll into our defence

Debateable. I think he's bloody average.

Brown is ok, that's it. He's not better than what we have.

bloody average is still a step up from our 2 centre backs

after last season i would not want dunne near a villa shirt again, Collins is basically a clown, gives his all no doubt, but a clown none the less

Brown is fucking rubbish.

He's the classic example of "shit player who gets on because he plays with lots of really good ones". I hope that's not the kind of deal we're mooking around at.

if they want Young, they can give us the money, not a not-very-good player who is clearly going to be coming here to coast.

but thats the message we have sent out this week

villa are going to coast along now with your sunderlands and your fulhams etc etc

wes brown fits our bill now

[madirishvillain]

its ok he is being linked with everton for 3million

we wanted their manager as well

[Toronto Villa]

just because Brown is linked means nothing at all as we all should know by now.

I was listening to Warnock on Sky and it got me wondering of our current outcasts who will get a second chance? I have feel Warnock might, and despite him being a bit of a tool last year on top losing form, he can be a very useful player. We need a steady LB, so if he can himself sorted out, why not him?

[TheSandman]

I completely disagree with people who are saying Wes Brown is average.

He is utterly shite. At least Collins and Dunne can argue they have been shit due to a loss of form. Wes Brown has always been shit.

[madirishvillain]

warnock can get to fuck - his toys out of the pram pish was embarrassing last year

hopefully never again will he get the privelage of wearing an Aston Villa shirt again

[The Situation]

Please tell me that McLeish signing Wes fucking Brown is a joke?

I agree with you and posted similarly a few days ago.
However, quite a few people disagreed and so I looked up his record.  He's actually played far more games over the last 18 months or so than I thought.
I still don't get his attitude, though, so if he's that unhappy we should offload.  Now there's a challenge for McL!

louzie0

he has to go, all he has done is yap and cry in the media - i think he was getting found out big style - the chelsea 7-1 game was the one that showed how poor an attitude the guy has

another bad thing for eck (not his fault) but every ****** that was acting up last year will be starting with a fresh slate so to speak

good luck with that

[The Situation]

I don't think it's even possible to be worse than Johnny Evans but Wes Brown probably is.
