The players linked to Villa have sank from the exciting, to the interesting, to the potentially OK, to the possible, to the 'well if we have to', to the 'only if we are really desperate', right down to the 'Oh no! Please not him'.


Who were the exciting targets you talk of?  Maybe there were a few under Houllier but they were tenuous a best.  We hardly been linked with anyone exciting since Juninho in the Gregory days.

I've gone from hoping we sign some good players in this transfer window to hoping the transfer window closes before we bring in any poor players.

If we're going for freebies/loans let's go for the likes of Joe Cole as opposed to Alan Smith for Christ's sake.

I might be wrong, but doesn't McLeish have form for random last minute signings?

Zarate, Hleb, Martins, Beausejour etc.

Yes, given the choice of signing Ridgewell or no-one, i would be over the moon with no-one.

Given a choice, I hope we sign no-one as well, i'd rather have his name on the back of a shirt than Ridgewell's.

I suppose you could say the same with O'Neill and Routledge, Maloney and Salifou.

Pete Colley on Twitter saying we are working on 3 deals, and definitely not in for Dempsey, which is a shame, as he is a quality player.

Are you actually Brice Jovial and you've been testing the waters here with the Villa fans before you move on deadline day. I have to say you have a pretty good scoring record all in all, well done!!
