Interesting wording in that Lescott statement.

Interesting wording in that Lescott statement.

ie "I'm content to sit on my arse and pick up my wages".

Never heard of Coutinho, which club does he play for ?

Google say Inter Milan go on Sneijder and Coutinho  for double transfer please and Alan Hutton and Stephen Ireland can go other way

I dare not believe the Coutinho link in the slightest.  Still a kid but he could turn out to be one of the best players in the world in a few years, 2 footed, quick, can pass, can shoot, good from set pieces and, to draw a comparison, carries the ball in a similar way to Maradona, just shifts direction so effortlessly and has the ball on a string (for anyone unsure of him there are loads of good youtube videos).

If he's available it's because he's not quite lived up to his promise so far but, that said i can't imagine that no champions league team will want to throw £8m at inter and see if they can get the most out of him.

Lescott getting his 'I'm not going to ask for a transfer so you'll have to pay me off if you want me out' statement in then.

That's what I thought (and hope!).

from what I've read on the back pages it would seem that we're the only club that Sneijder hasn't been touted out to, shame.

If Lescott wants to be paid by Citeh to join us then forget it. We've already signed two from them that way and neither of them have ever appeared pleased to be at Villa or indeed shown it on the pitch.

[Duncan Shaw]

Harry wants Lescott, said it in his post match interview.

Dunne's first season wasn't that bad.

I really hope QPR go down!

Ireland's been a waste of space but we've had many good games from Dunne. Lescott would be a good signing for Villa. He's most certainly a Villa fan, as my sister knows his mother, and he spends a fair bit of time back in Birmingham. More importantly he's a bloody good centreback, and that's just what we need in our team.

It's not Lescott's fault that his employers agreed to such generous terms of employment. if they now want rid, he's within his rights to be a bit arsey.
