Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

As an idea, Barry returning, with his experience, could be good.
But, hasn't Westwood shown that he can do that job, with almost no experience, perfectly well?
Barry chose to plough his furrow elsewhere. He's made loadsa money and won some medals.
Westwood did brilliantly for us last season. I see him as part of the future Aston Villa.
Barry is part of the past.
UTV!

Barry too slow and fat? He was a regular in the second best team in England last season.
Like Petrov, if either had been in our team last season, their composure and experience would have easily seen us top half instead of touching cloth til the middle of May.

The Mirror, which for me is the worst paper on the planet, has an article about Stephen Ireland joining Mark Hughes at Stoke.

That's a bold statement. The Mirror is shite but it is a couple of rungs up from the (defunct) NOTW and Daily Heil. The Mirror can be used to wipe your arse. The other 2 would make said orifice even dirtier,

Is this Barry talk anything other than hypothetical? Because I would really like Gordon Cowans in his Taylor days to play for us again.

Can I point you in direction of the thread title. But also a requirement for this transfer thread is a sense of humor and is not to take everything seriously

YES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A JOKE

your name is a joke

Let's be honest, all of the above are shite.  There are only a couple of real sources to listen to, and they appear right here on H&V!!

Worrabout The Soaraway Sunday Sun?

Sounds like a bit from Monty Python.

Or the Rochester Weekly Review.

Monty Python did a Philosophers' Football Match with Socrtaes Nietzsche Marx Archmiedas  now that was very funny. I also think they signing these players would bring a wealth of good experience and creativity to villa

I've seen the kit and no way would Barry's Arse fit in those shorts so it's a no from me

Didn't Karl Marx claim the Greek Phil's goal was off-side?

He would help Westwood, Sylla, Delph and Bacuna. Of that I am sure.

Despite the way he left, I think Barry is a model pro and his calming influence could be what we need in the squad if not always in the first eleven.

Indeed.

I was always a fan of Barry, especially as he came across as the nice bloke who lived next door, didn't bother anyone and would help you out if you knocked on his door.  However he decided to take advice from that twunt Gerrard publicly which annoyed me no end.

On balance I'd have him back but he would have to reduce his salary by about 65% so no likely to happen

We missed Stan massively last year - Barry could play that role for us and more .

At the right price - and if we could ship out the deadwood - I think it would be a great deal . Would rather give him the salary than Ireland et al

[Dante Lavelli]

We missed some experience last year I admit but I'm not sure either Barry or Petrov would suit our tactic of pressing high up the field.  I don't think either would have the energy levels required.

Hope this helps...
