Nikola Zigic available from our neighbours and he is only 34?

Balotelli and benteke both in form would be pretty good to see. I think we are more likely to sign the chap forest did at the start of the premier league!

Silenzi? Wasn't he utter crap over here?
We don't need Silenz at Villa Park.

Probably never. But I can't help thinking that he looks at the squad, and reckons he's got enough. He has cover in every position, and players that can fill in and do a job. We're the ones that speculate over signings, not him. It's taken eighteen months to come up with this idea of passing the ball to a bloke in the same colour shirt, and he won't want to risk upsetting this and having to start again by introducing variables such as wingers and attacking midfielders. Vlaar's not going anywhere, and I fancy Delph to play on for a better move in the summer than any that might be tabled this window, so they won't need replacing.
Okay, maybe not nobody, but I'll be a bit surprised if there's anything more inspiring than a Holt/Dawkins/Sylla coming in.

Yes by signing him a second time and I honestly half expect it.

So, Vlaar to Napoli, £2m.....apparent done deal but not sure if he goes in January or at the end of the season.

If a fee is involved surely it would be Jan?

Rafa Benitez has set his sights on the Dutch international to strengthen his back four at the Stadio San Paolo - and according to Il Mattino newspaper, Vlaar is ready for the move.

It now remains to be seen whether he will move immediately, or in June when his contract with Villa expires.

Napoli have offered to pay at most €2m for the player, with a contract worth €1.7m per season plus add-ons.

Manchester United have also been linked with the 29-year-old.

There is thought to be one major obstacle, as Napoli must first sell Paulo Henrique to Internacional in Brazil.
