This was a bit unexpected I must say though. It would give us options though I suppose.

Poor old Archie will wake up and have kittens this morning when reading this rumour.

One flyer is enough and we have taken that with Adebayor.   This has all the feel of an agent trying to make something happen.   His arrival would send out very mixed messages and dilute the excellent work which has been done so far.   In addition I think if Adebayor is to come good he must feel that he is the magic man.   He clearly wants to be loved and we must at least give him the impression that we do.   Adebayor could be the new John Carew.   Berbatov would certainly be the new Robert Pires with added Ginola.

there is no way we should be looking to sign a player like Berbatov, he would be a massive backward step for me

If both he and Adebayor are our front 2 then the opposition defence wont have much running to do!

I thought the days of signing players like this were done and we had learnt from our previous experiences - obviously not

If TIM keeps thinking of Spurs players from a few years who used to be good then he may as well play himself!

That's it why don't we give Ginola a contract as well.
After all he's worth it!

thoughts? incandescent with anger. As if one thirty something greedy lazy cnut wasn't bad enough we now try and sign the laziest 34 year old cnut in football - does he intend to play him in a wheelchair role? Just when you thought we might be making progress a double whammy. Awful and ghastly Tim

Incandescent with anger? Really?

Anyone would read some of these comments and think we were resigning Harewood.

As it happens, I reckon he's been sounded out on the basis of us not getting Adebayor.

It seems likely he's being lined up in case Adebyor or Tottenham ask for too much money. I wouldn't be keen, I must say. On the plus side, he looks a bit like Dracula, so we might boost attendances by attracting more goths to Villa Park. Only for the night games, obviously.

This would be lengendary if we had him in for a season. I think he'd offer far more than Joe Cole due to less injury prone. Another player grealish can learn off. Berbatov cud play in midfield or behind striker or up front. I'd rather have a proverb winner than a loan signing. Berbatov isn't lazy like adebayor.

It's come from the same paper who are saying that parts of Britain will reach 30c this weekend, I don't believe that either.

More Goths? Joe will be happy.

For all the exciting arrivals our defence is a big worry. It was awful and completely disorganised under Sherwood and I'm worried we're not concentrating on it enough. Would definitely be up for a centre back signing

I think you might be right, Richards never looks too far from an injury, Senderos is nowhere to be seen and there remains question marks over Clark and Baker, the former looked a little lightweight to me last night.
