On his Twitter he is asked if he's going to Villa and says nothing concrete, but it would be a dream for him.

i dont know can Italian defenders defend ? :o ;)

Baresi and Maldini certainly could.   ;) ;)

Apparently a decision is close on the Doncaster takeover.  If it goes through Given is a definite target, although Ireland is only being linked because of the consortium being Irish....

Although I'm well into buying cheap and young, seems to be paying dividends, I really feel PL should push the boat out and grab lescott for a couple of seasons, it would really bolster our  defense, give Okore chance to develop and pollyfilla Vlaar much needed assistance.

I was working on my screenplay for a hard hitting docu-drama based on Kidderminster hard men who stash their ill gotten gains in a nearby forest. "The Wyre".




Based upon the North Eastern soap about tough ship builders who "big up" against their close neighbours - "The Wear" (translated by said neighbours as "Weh Aye"

Sorry, do people mean that Twitter account from an Italian player that's all written in English?

hmmmm  . . . . Admittedly if it is fake it implies someone set up a fake account several months ago in the name of an Italian defender and has made a lot of tweets.

I'm not sure which alternative seems less credible!

A Lescott type figure would make a huge difference to us. Personally i'd disregard Clark as a defender unless in an emergency and bring in another centre half.

I'd have Young back in the blink of an eye. He's not set Man Utd alight granted, but he's more than good enough for us

It'll never happen of course.

Just watched Arsenal v Tottenham Sky sports 2008. Hutton made a back pass you would see in a lower Sunday league. Arsenal scored form the error.  !! Please get him off our books by any method possible. Any update on Capauno. Our defence needs new blood and a young Italian U21 international sounds very much like a PL approach to an obvious problem .....

That Marco Capuano twitter account is definitely real.

It might be that he's heard rumours we're after him, but he also says nothing is concrete - which implies there might be some interest there, otherwise he'd just say there's no truth in it?

Look, we can't expect to hear anything until he is stretching the shirt at BH.  The moment he stops twatting about Villa we can get our hopes up.  Stealth football, I like it!
