Two arrivals today at #AVFC. Alan Hutton and J Jenas from #thfc. Moves for Hargreaves and Steven Davis failed.

Normally I'd be complaining that we'd be after Jenas. But right now, I'd take just about anybody. We need bodies.
Thats all he will be a body.No thank you.

So who would you like?
Messi.

LOL we would all like Messi in our side but lets be realistic. Every name that seems to be linked with Villa, there seems to be an opinion of "we dont need him" or "he isn't good enough" etc etc s o who is good enough for villa in the current situation we are in?
Jenas would be a disaster.Phil Neville would do a better job than him.And I never thought I would say that.

I will ask you again, so who is good enough for villa in the current situation we are in? Not who isn't good enough for villa.
This is what I dont get.It looks like we are buying for the sake of buying.If the players coming in are the same quality or worse whats the point.Squad fillers at best.

How would we know who is good and not good enough for Villa..................We don't look.

Villanation, im looking for opinions of who people think are good enough as so far, every name that is mentioned for villa, they are either past it, shit or just not good enough according to peoples opinions. Not one person has suggested a REALISTIC target who we could get.
I personally think, Jenas, Cole and Hutton would be decent additions to the wafer thin squad we have.

Good news..I hope..

Here's our Midlands man Stuart James with more on Aston Villa's move for Joe Cole. "Just been told that Aston Villa have made an approach to sign Joe Cole but they fear the former England international has already decided to join Lille."

Well done Lilly then, sigh of relief, so who's next?

Well, that's what happens when you make a last-minute move for someone who's already in talks with a club in France, and is reportedly actually in France.

The strategy and planning we've been deploying this summer is stunning, I must say.

Can Joe Cole play full back, centre back or as a central midfield enforcer?

I hope Joe Cole doesn't come to us, but regardless we have made an utter cock up of this window. Once again we are desperately searching around at the last minute and will probably end up with nothing.

What's more important than hanging on to vain hope of useful signings is can we make it to 1000 pages.

I don't believe in Joe Cole coming back to his best so please not him. Please not Jenas. I've never seen anything from him to justify his outrageous transfer fees so far. JJ would be as uninspiring signing as it could get.

Cole loaned to Lille.

1235: DONE DEAL There was talk of Aston Villa making a late move - but as far as Liverpool are concerned, Joe Cole is joining Lille. The Reds have announced on their website that a deal with the French champions is agreed and the 29-year old will join on loan for the remainder of the current campaign.

Love the way he's in a Chelsea shirt in the photo......I think his time at Liverpool can be described as 'underwhelming'.....

Next....

With joe cole now not happening, surely we should move for benayoun?! i know we rejected an offer for him because of wages, but his wages can't be too far of cole's could they?

Pheeew....*wipes brow *...cole to Lille....

Close one that!

timeoutbigbar · « **Reply #13438 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:41:20 PM »

I'd rather give Ireland or Bannan a run than sign Cole or Benayoun. They're both getting on a bit now aren't they?

Thought it was about £120000 a week or something ridiculous
