Sturridge + Bent would be a class frt 2.
Sounds good.

It would indeed.  Unfortunately that's a hell of a lot more likely to happen at Chelsea.

I've always liked Sturridge and wish we tested City with an offer a while back.

Yep. Sturridge looks very impressive. Quite like Ba at West Ham - isn't that a loan. We were linked with Kalinic yesterday. Good player. Bendtner?

Bendtner?

Spectacularly overrated.  Especially in his own mind.

Someone like Lionel Messi for Villa would be perfect but that is about likely as Small Heath winning the Champions League.

So I think we got to spot the next Messi.

Hulk from Porto would be great if have the cash to splash. Agree Sturridge would also be a great signing!

Can the hulk bring his manager with him too?
Andre Villas Boas looks like being the next Special One. He's only 34 or something crazy but has been coaching since he was 17 after impressing Bobby Robson when they were neighbours. Half English too. Not sure whether he'd want to join Villa though.

Good thinking.

Can't imagine why nobody thought of doing that before.

Did you see his goal from the edge of the box yesterday?  Nothing about pace in that.  Just pure quality.
