I think M'Zogbia should be signed as Young's replacement and Adam signed to give creativity through the middle. Keep Downing too it is a bonus. Bent, Downing, N'Zogbia with Marc and Gabby to come in, would be nice going forward. Stick Reo Coker, Adam and Petrov with Delph, Bannan and Gardner as back ups behind and the squad would actually look pretty formidable.

I'd like Foster, but we'll have to pay through the nose, and he's still prone to dropping the odd bollock. Other cheaper options we could pull off would be Green, Given or Robinson. I would shit myself having Green in goal. He looks top class when he's on it, but he makes too many errors. I'd be very happy with Given or Robbo. Given has been one of the most consistent keepers in the Prem. Very, very unfortunate not to have played last season. He was superb for City previously, not to mention always a rock at Newcastle. He may not come off his line at set pieces, but if we get a good centreback pairing and organise them right, that won't matter (see Friedel 09-10). There are few better shot stoppers around either. Robinson likewise has been superb for Blackburn.

There's lots of decent options around, so if McLeish gets this one wrong, he's asking for trouble.

As for N'Zogbia, he'd be a good signing. My concern would be that his move would revolve around Downing. If Stewie signs for Liverpool then I'd fancy us to sign him. If Downing stays, I think Liverpool will look at N'Zogbia.

Providing its not the ball he can drop whatever he wants.

McGregor
Simpson - Collins - Dunne - Warnock
Makoun - Nige
Albrighton - Ireland - Downing
Bent

Marshall - Clark - Young - Petrov - Delph - Gabby - Heskey

On paper, that's still a side that can upset the top 6, IMO.

Simpson isn't up to much.

I think we will be playing Gabby and Bent up front this season.

I'm gutted Kieron Westwood has signed for Sunderland along with Seb Larssen.

Well according to MM on the other site, NRC could be coming back but not much chance of C.Gardner. Dann too expensive and R.Johnson not much better than weve already got. According to questions asked McLeish at the fan-forum held. Apologies if already stated somewhere.

Worth going over to VT to have a read of what AM had to say at the forum - MM and DW both in attendance. Wasn't sure if it was the done thing to copy and paste it over to here?

Luke Young is better than Danny Simpson. Seen there comparitive statistics somewhere and tackles, aerial domination etc were all overwhelmingly in favour of Young. Been through the Gabby scenario since we signed Bent. Love him to bits but he is not clinical enough and lacks any technical ability. Goalie Got to be Robinson. He was brilliant last season and would be relatively cheaply priced ..............

Hi guys

newbie on here a huge Rangers fan and admirer of the Villa

as you will know there is a lot of talk of King Carlos returning to Rangers but today rumours are that it will be in a straight swap deal for Madjid Bougherra has anyone heard anything from down there ?

also Good luck with the new season and big Eck as manager, He is a good manager but very frustrating at times, I wish you well in upcoming season

Welcome Ger.
Haven't heard anything about Bougherra.

I think it will be Cuellar to you for straight cash.

Don't be too hasty - maybe we can lure Gervilla81 into a swap deal with McGregor??

Sorry mate at the present moment I don't see many better keepers in Britain than the Shagger so would have to pass up on King Carlos if that was only deal on table

would love to see Carlos back a Ibrox though he was immense for us and IMHO has been unfortunate that he has been mainly used at right Back for Villa.

any Truth in Barry Ferguson teaming up with Eck again ?

I'm a bit surprised that the Rangers Chairman tells us we won't be signing McGregor, but they want Carlos Cuellar, cheeky sod!!

No way we can make top6 with that squad.
First of all Ireland is useless.
Albrighton cannot handle the winger positon alone. We need a N'Zodbia class player.
Simpson not good enough. Luke Young is better. If Simpson comes, I will be happy, I like him, but for now he should be behing Young.
We also need a class Central midfielder.

Not that I'd think he would come back (yet) but Milner was offered the same money to stay at Villa as he got at City.
According to General Krulak.

Also Carrick is very shit indeed. Please stop mentioning him in case fate decides that he should come here.
