Bad news, fellow supporters.

He won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable now.

Time to move on to our second choice target, which, if it's anything like the progression down the list of managerial options, will be Tommy Tynan.

Gutted.

I can't think of any other players who have names like Aston Villa. A sneaky bid for Anton Ferdinand as his first name is only one letter off?

Super Marc linked with Rangers...as if
Albrighton rules out Rangers move
15/12/2011
  Winger Marc Albrighton has pledged his immediate future to Aston Villa and dismissed reports linking him with a move to Rangers.

Albrighton had struggled to command a regular first-team spot during the current campaign before returning to Alex McLeish's side against Manchester United 12 days ago. He scored the opening goal in Saturday's 2-1 win at Bolton but is adamant leaving Villa never crossed his mind when out of favour.

Academy product Albrighton, 22, said: "I have a mate at Rangers but I won't be going there anytime soon. I don't want to think about leaving at the minute. I know things have not been great. But I am a Villa boy and I can't think of anything worse than leaving the club that's given me all my games and all my happy moments."


 He added: "One day I may have to leave, and that will be a sad day for me, but at the moment I am concentrating on playing well for Villa.

"I want to fight for my place here and see if I can establish myself and get back to my best here. I don't want to take the easy route.

I note that MON has been linked with signing Jelavic from Rangers for £10m, bless.

Marc on DJ

"Stewart will be coming back with Liverpool and I'm looking forward to seeing him.

...

"It will be good to see him again. I think he made the right move for himself and you can't argue with that.  He's gone on to better himself as a player and become an established England international which he's doing at the minute.

Yes there are bits he says about he wouldnt leave yet, loves the club. But still dont like seeing little comments like this from him.. Him, Gardner, Grealish and Gabby are my little hope for a Never-Leaving-Villa-Supporting Core to the team.

As soon as we are "linked" with Villa he suffers a serious injury.

Is there any hope of us being "linked" with re-signing Downing?

it's a shame Albrighton thinks Liverpool are somehow bettering Downing.  He was a regular England player when he was with us.  Odd comment.

Anyway, hope the lad recovers some form and fulfils the promise he definitely has.

Liverpool are bigger and better than us at the minute. That is undeniable.

true, but for all that money they've spent they're not much different to us and the other 15 teams looking up at the CL regulars. only thing Downings gained is a bigger wage packet. which is probably enough for him.

Landon Donavon to Everton again - great deal for them, which should ensure they remain well clear of the bottom.
