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.

agree, I'm a little envious of the filth getting Chester. He might be costly but he's a good defender and I'd imagine he'd stick around for more than a couple of seasons.

Carlos Sanchez could do a job at centre back as can Crespo and even amvai so think we re okay there. Though James Chester would ave been nuce

I suppose we have Okore as well but the lack of height with him partnering Richards is a concern.

I've not seen a great deal of him but I do wonder how good he is if only the Albion and Leicester have come in for him.

 Sherwood and Wilkins will want to play midfield too. I remember reading about big Ron fancied himself in training matches. Dont know if it was him or some player but a book extract said Ron was like ginola or so he thought ! Or maybe I'm confused

If you look at in from the other side, Leicester fans might think "why would he go to Villa when we have just finished above them"?

Limited squad sizes and home grown quotas stop teams from stockpiling players like they used to. Which is where clubs like Southampton have been quick to cotton on that they can buy young ambitious players and then make a big profit on the ones that prove themselves. It appears we have belatedly woken up to the possibilities.

Surely Berbatov isn't really happening?

Berbatov needs a taxi to get around the pitch these days!

I hope we're not in danger of doing a QPR. They're mostly young players which is good in many ways

If we signed berba and adebayor it would just scream Harry redknapp to me

They do both like their dinners, maybe that's where the comparison came from.
