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

[JJ-AV]

DJ Campbell might be a decent option for that price, especially if Heskey's off. But it'd be a bit deflating as our first signing. I really don't expect him to be the limit of our ambitions though.

Gardner isn't good enough. I'd have kept him originally as a squad player but he's not worth buying back.

[Toronto Villa]

We seem to be getting linked with a lot of shit players.

It's inevitable given that we've just appointed McLeish and all of a sudden we're in the poor house again. If everyone remembers, we were linked to all kinds of bollocks heading into January because we were supposedly skint. Then from the back of Randy's settee he found 30 odd million and signed Makoun and Bent.

[ozzjim]

13 in 31 for Blackpool, and a nearly 1 in 2 through his career. For a million quid, he would be a decent buy.

Wes Brown and Barton are the 2 we have been linked with that I am very adverse to.

[pauliewalnuts]

Gardner's a more than decent player, I always rated him.

The problem is that he made himself look an absolute tit with all that badge thumping, "they break yer 'art" nonsense when he went there.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Think for £1.25m for DJ Campbell is worth a punt. Low wages. Pace and has scored a few goals recently. Think we have got past the stage of thinking "he would damage the club" due to a certain position just filled. So lets bring in Joey Barton. He would add that bit of steel and quality we are still short of .......

[Greg N'Ash]

Does anyone know any blose fans? They think dj campbell is arse frankly. I know their opinion of what a good player is probably a bit "iffy" but they can recognise a shite player - they've had enough of 'em. It seems we in a nightmare world where we make every blose fans dream's cometrue. What next, Ridgewell?

[pauliewalnuts]

Campbell is utterly mediocre.

[andym]

not a particularly exciting name or anything, but as has been said he got 13 goals in 31 premier league games last season.  the best carew and gabby have had for us in the league is also 13.

depends whether you think last year was a one off i guess.

[ozzjim]

He isn't a good player, but he has good movement and has scored goals throughout his career. Cheap and likely to nick a few goals as 2nd choice to Bent, just makes sense so money can be used on bigger priorities.

[Mazrim]

Campbell's alright but worth holding up Delfouneso and Weimann? Not at all.

[The Left Side]

Please no DJ Campbell!

[ROBBO]

It just shows how far our expectations have fallen, d j Campbell and Gardner have relegation written all over them. Adam i can take.

It just shows how far our expectations have fallen, d j Campbell and Gardner have relegation written all over them. Adam i can take.

And none of them have signed, or been the basis of anything but idle speculation, so let's save the 'expectations' until we see what we end up with.

[tom villa]

if we get foster 10million dann 10million adam 9million suddenly weve only got 1million left to spend

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Mirror, so probably bollocks, but I wouldn't have any objections to this

New Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish wants to take Birmingham's Ben Foster and Scott Dann to Villa Park.

As for DJ Campbell. No fucking way.
I'd like to see him score 13 goals for a team that doesn't play a 1-1-8 formation.
