Only if another centre half was coming in.
I've no problems having Craig back.

Just heard Collins to S'land and Gardner back to Villa. I'd take it if true?

Well, Gary Gardner does need someone to clean his boots now he's left the academy. Beyond that, what's the point of signing Craig?

So it looks like Spurs freshen their squad and Villa stay content with players seeing out their contracts.  Craig Gardner on loan why not? Would get goals help give our midfield bite and help his brothers development. Villa really are a poor shower at the moment.

With our midfield options as they are at the moment he's a decent squad option.
Not that I believe the rumours yet.

If it is true (14m for Defoe), we should all bow down to Daniel Levy for proving himself a true master of the transfer system once more.

Levy's probably sewn in a '£1m for each goal Defoe scores' clause, too. And Liverpool would still take that.

Rumours about Liverpool having a £14m bid for Defoe accepted.

Mental money if true.

If that's true I could see Carroll being at Spurs before the end of the day cos 'arry loyaks 'im innit.

Saha for spurzzzzz

Gary will come through regardless. But they could play together.

Saha to Spurs is a wierd one can only think it's short term cover so they can allocate funds from selling Payblochenko to other area's of the team..

Certainly apart from QPR no one is buying without selling ....just the player's we would like to move on are
1)Not worth alot
2)On suck high wages no one will take them !

Slightly off topic,although I spat my dinner out at the sheer ridiculousness of this comment regarding Mourrinho and the England job.

http://sport.uk.msn.com/football/mourinhos-madrid-exit-could-lead-to-england-job

and scroll down a little bit

'the same tired names keep cropping up to be the next england manager, Redknapp, Pardew, Houghton, none have won sod all worth talking about, i don,t care if the poxy fa give the job to the wop, but what about trying something new, go for a guy who knows where he,s going, Paul Jewel, he,s successful, sensible, clever and english, they woulden,t  have clough, this guys the best iv,e seen since brian, lets try him, i think the guys got something special about him'

Paul Jewell.....deary me

And doesn't this guy love a comma?! wow


It just seemed more interesting than hearing that Villa will be signing nobody. I hope I am proved wrong.

I suppose Paul has to keep busy somehow, nothing wrong with a bit of self promotion!

He won't be playing. They need someone to serve the rich white men drinks, and fan them when they get hot as another Andy Carroll header goes way over the bar.
