Now that Wales are out I'd expect us to unveil Williams very soon.

Which one Peter?  I think Gunter would be a decent buy for us.  Had a big move early in his career and didn't quite work out for him.  Only 26, an experienced international now and had a good qualifying campaign and tournament.

Seems he can cross a ball too. Hutton, bless him, would hit the first man even if he wasn't there.

blimey,  this guy makes Dr X look like he hasn't got two bob to rub together.

I believe Villa have been sold to the Recon Group, not Dr. Xia per se.  Recon seem to  have an awful lot of assets and funds set up which makes me very confident that money is no problem for them.  If Wolves get taken over, bring it on.  It's great for the West Mids and we need real competition to spur us on.


So a mega rich Chinese guy is looking for a Midlands football club to buy, and he didn't know about us?

Puts a shift in, though, running up the wing between calamity defending (positioning), crap crosses and slow trotting back into position.

Obolensky? Isn't he the Russian cat that played on the wing for the England egg chasers?

They have investigations in Russia? I thought they just pushed the people Putin didn't like out of windows.

Its amazing how clumsy some of the journalists in Russia are you know. There's been scores of accidental deaths these past years.

Tony. If you ever read fan forums then for the love of God read this single bit of advice.

GET OFF TWITTER NOW.

Honestly just get off it. Nothing good comes from being on Twitter. Dont waste your time on it. Just focus on the club & fans.

Whoa whoa whoa. You know they have ears everywhere.

And I for one applaud their right in defending their motherland whilst also showing the appropriate response to any security thread. Pereceived or otherwise.
