[QBVILLA]

Diouf,Bellamy and Barton.What better chance would he have of moving up the popularity league than to sign those odious turds?

If I was Mcleish, Barton and Bellamy are exactly the kind of player I'd be looking to bring in. Both combative and vocal. Neither are the type of character to go missing in a fight, and what Mcleish will need in the opening couple of months of the season is every ally he can find.

We won't sign Bellamy given our focus on keeping wages down. I would also expect we will see a focus on younder players that have a sell on value.

[Billy Walker]

Foster, Gardner & Dann.

£20m.

Add Sturridge up front and things are taking shape.   I think Sturridge and Bent could make a great strike force.

[jibba81]

1.  Keep Sid on the coaching staff.
2.  Add Laursen in there somewhere also.
3.  Make K-Mac his assistant.

He'll need to surround himself with proper Villa men to stand a chance.

Not bad shouts John. I'd keep McAllister around too.
Its not like McLeish has an award winning staff to bring over anyway.

Keeping Sid around is non negotiable as far as I'm concerned. If he is ousted I will go down there and make the Brixton riots look like a Teddy Bears picnic. I'm talking throwing my own shit at the big screens and everything.

There's no protest like a dirty protest

[jibba81]

Ferguson will be first, then Foster and then Jerome.

Barry Ferguson would disintegrate as soon as a Villa shirt touched his skin

[taylorsworkrate]

Would not be surprised to see Joey Barton as 1 of his first signings, McLeish likes a midfield of battlers

Oh I see what you've done, you've used the word battlers instead of the proper term: Sub human scum who have no place in society.

[Toronto Villa]

For me, we need to sort the GK our first. Get in Foster or McGregor. Get rid of Dunne and replace with Dann. We need to get the spine of the team fixed. Now, I'm going to get crushed for suggesting this because this player is world rated wanker, but Joey Barton is very good and would make us nasty. We need to get nastier with the complimentary pieces around Barton being skilled and creative. Roy Keane was a tosser at the best of times (yes, I know, not on the same level as Barton), but we've been too soft for too long.

If not Barton, somebody like him that take no prisoners and who's job is to run around like mental case, win the ball and give to the creative players to do their thing.

Give me a second to reach for my tin hat....

[KRS]

If we do end up selling Downing as well as AYoung then that *should* make approx £40m available for transfers this summer plus significant reduction of the wage bill with players being released.

Would you be happy to bring in Foster, N'Zogbia, Dann, Sturridge and keep Walker at the expense of AY and SD?

I agree with this bit.

I know....I know. He's a very good player. Shame he's such an idiot, though he has been a lot better of late. Still leopards, spots and all that..

Agree that  it would be nice to at least have a Villa presence in the back room staff. If only to stop that Peter Grant coming across the city. Seems to have a dreadful record wherever he's been. The noses looked a better side when his predecessor Roy Aitken was there.

I'd be happy with that lot, but with another winger and a first-choice left back thrown in as well.

Foster - Maybe, decent, but not as good as advertised.

N'Zogbia - Yes.  Lots of ability, worth the gamble although I'm slightly worried about him going missing in games.

Dann - Yes, very good defender, praise that should go to him invariably goes to Roger Johnson.

Sturridge - No, not sure he'd compliment Bent too well.  think we'd need more of Pavlychenko type player.

Walker - YES, quality right back on an upward curve.  Not gonna happen though as Spurs will most definitely have realised this.
