Asked whether he had spoken to Bent about the transfer speculation, McLeish replied: "We kid him on. There's the banter: 'When you off?' – that kind of stuff. He says: 'You probably know more than me,' but I don't. He's another one that I don't think will be going anywhere.

"We've heard stories saying this one and that one is going to try and buy him but we say he is not for sale and, secondly, nobody has contacted us."

What a strange conversation to have with a player.

because no-one can understand it John. If it was a view to a permanent deal then you could at least understand it if not agree, but 2 months as a reserve behind Gabby and Bent for 750k because he's "better than Heskey" just seems mental

and is all that set in stone, we know its 750k do we ? we know all the ins and outs of the deal that hasnt even been done yet.
listen i wouldnt be rushing down the street to sign Keane, but i dont see it as the catastrophe its being made out on here to be

true but id prefer the wages to be spent on someone who will play a part in Villa's future longer than March especially as the wages thing has been drummed into our heads constantly by the club. He's better than Heskey - so what? A corpse carried between Dunne and Collins and dumped in the opposition's box at corners would be more of a threat than Heskey, and a lot cheaper than Keane.

If it stops Heskey getting a game, I'm all for it.

whats Cascarino doing

[Louzie0]

ok I'm having another go.

Is it alphabetical like fielding a team from A (supermarc) to L (lichaj - but he's injured)?

[ozzjim]

A back flip goal celebration?

Field the England and Ireland number 9 together?

Have 2 players with over 100 pl goals to their name in the same side?

[E I Adio]

Does it have anything to do with cartwheels?

Good shout, I thought this was it as soon as you said it.

But Yorke and Cole, Sheringham and Ferdinand and Bergkamp and Henry have all done it.

I said we've done. Other clubs have done it before.

I meant specific to Villa, would have thought Fowler and Owen at Liverpool would have too? And Lampard and Drogba at Chelsea.

[JJ-AV]

Ah fair enough. I take it that's it then?

[dave.woodhall]

No it bloody isn't. Keep guessing.
