from all the rumors ive heard and looked into a bit id like to see how realistic this team looks for villa:
GK:camp. the majority of people reckon foster but can anyone really see him coming to villa from blues
rb:walker
cb:dunne
cb:upson
lb:enrique
rm:albrighton
cm:petrov
cm:parker
lm:nzogbia
st:bent
st:ba would prefer someone beter than ba but he can score

TBH I can't really see us signing enrique or parker because both players are getting intrest from clubs like liverpool and spurs. foster a possiblity but i also think given's a chance. Defo need a better cb than upson. Personally I think villa should go with players like :
hanglehand, samba, cahill or even dann.

if we had giving martin o neill the moeny to buy player Aston Villa would not be in this mess and lose great players! !

30 May 2011 15:43:15
Why hasn't houllier retired yet we need a fresh start and fast if he don't go we are screwed and will end up with a load of French youngsters. Get moves or benitez in then I back Ireland and warnock to shine again next season once the idiot has left

"villa park will be named the nike arena with a 60 million being given to the new manager."

i really cannot see happening while doug ellis is alive, yeah he is not exactly everyones favourite person, but lerner is a respectfull man and gets along with ellis. Its a good call for the future to but this decision would lay down on the fans head and even then i doubt they would wanna change the name

We should never be thinking about survivibg again, we need to look to at least europa leaue places

failed at everton a while back, not worth a punt at all

From a friend of my father (a long time fan), who is a respected steward of the club, Houllier is set to leave, due to obvious reasons, Moyes has been linked, reportedly wanting to bring along, Leyton Beines, Tim Cahill, and possibly Arteta. Young and Downing are set to leave, reports suggest Liverpool with chance of N'gog involved in the transfer.

That rumour got carried away. Moyes can't just say come on lads we're off to villa! Players belong to efc!

hi rangers fan here what the chances of us getting big stella cuellar back? any info for me ed? {Ed007's Note - Rumour is he wants to go back to Spain. His attitude isn't the best, as you as Rangers fan should know}

id love to know what these "attitude" problems are??

-he left rangers for villa, because villa met his release fee. . .so there was no demanding of a transfer

- he was played our of position for 80% of his villa career but never complained

- He has been on the bench most of the season watching poor performing centrehalves infront of him (dunne and collins, im looking at you) and still hasnt grumbled

- he has good interaction with the fans via twitter and facebook

- the couple of times i have met him, he has been an absolute gentleman and signed autographs and got into pictures with little ones and was always friendly

so if he does leave, i will be hugely saddened but will completely understand as he needs to for the sake of his career. . . but poor attitude. . give me a break! !

Cueller's stated that his happy at villa, he loves the fans and loves the birmingham people, no chance of a move + his just had knee op and with villa having best rehab facilities hes going to stay there

I hope if Carlos was to leave villa it would be to come back to the gers.he was treated like a god in govan and I know that he still has strong feelings for the club.so maybe it will happen. Airdrie bear

Gary mac said after the liverpool game there are too be alot of changes in the summer this is what he means :-

Outs :- Friedel, Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Cuellar, Reo-coker, Petrov, Pires, Agbonlahor, Carew, Heskey. Askley Young and Downing will obviously be chased but they don't want to lose them, the other i believe will either be released or on the transfer market. Im not going too sit hear and lie too you all and say ive heard it from a realiable source because i havnt its just a guess :-)

Are you crazy??

Be realistic friedal warnock dunne reo-coker petrov carew heskey and ash will be on the way way out these are names constantly batted around

Obviously someone who doesn't know much about the way villa work. Main ones to go, Friedel, Dunne, Warnock, Petrov, Reo-coker, Carew and Heskey, Walker will come back, Ash will stay, Signings including Foster/Given, Meite (as rumoured hell be released) and Milner

You must be the only person in England that thinks ash will stay at villa. Face it, he's off!

Hitzlsperger will return to Aston Villa for £5 million

22 May 2011 20:57:06
Friedel, Beye, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock, Ireland, Petrov, Pires, Makoun Carew, Heskey, and Young.
Looks like a team bound for the championship. Apart from one it seems a good job that they will be on their way during the holidays. Not Much money coming in as some will be free and others about £3.50p. I wish Ash all the very best at United and thank him for the £25m that will enable Rafa to bring in three or four new faces. Some others will be offered to other clubs who are looking at underperformers. Reo Coker will probably be offered in part ex for Scott Parker. Carlton Cole will not be arriving at VP! ! I remember him when he was lauded as one to watch for the future. All he did was watch. The season ended with us in 9th place and who would have thought that some weeks ago. Blues went where they are best suited, but that won't matter to the as they beat us and that is all they wanted. Next year must be better than this year or Villa may well join Blues unless they go down again. what a lovely thought to carry through the summer.

his attitide was always spot in with rangers a truely great pro.thats why he earned his big money move. {Ed007's Note -He was quoted as saying "I want to stay at Rangers for life", was given the number 4 squad number when Buffel left and never wore the shirt, and then was away the next week to the first team that showed any interest, and now he has went in a huff because he lost his place in the Villa team}

21 May 2011 17:28:38
Ed, what's this person on. . Who's big elk? To the other poster about Ashley young, we all know he wants out and have done for 6 months he's refused to sign contracts and is linked with man u & Liverpool!

Some other things you might not know:
We signed Darren Bent
Warnocks on his bike
We will need new winger in to replace young
We will need new right back if can't keep walker
We need new keeper
Richard dunnes a cart horse so we need to replace him
NRC wants 80k a week and not going to get it so he might go
Expect a busy transfer window for us! {Ed007's Note - I can only guess that he meant Big Eck?? Alex McLeish}

20 May 2011 03:43:10
lol reading some of these fans putting names forward that villa will buy in summer is funny comedy, , , villa won't be buying many and if they d it will be cheap championship mid table at best players, young will not be sold for 27 million or even anywhere near that price hes in last year of contract and wants out of villa, so id say round the 15 million-18 million mark if that.

As the season crawls to a close now there is an inevitability of change in the air at Villa Park. This week, Randy Lerner s right hand man, General Charles Krulak, made another contribution to one of the many Villa blogs claiming that the club and board know what has to be done in the summer to ensure that we don t endure another season like this.

What this means for the Houllier regime is unsure but what it implies will surely leave him fearing for his job. However, Houllier s transfer targets have suggested that he is aiming high (recently losing out to Real Madrid for Dortmund defender Nurin Sahin) and in doing so he has raised the expectations of fans.

I for one would be sad to see Houllier leave as recent results have suggested that the players are finally warming to his football philosophy but his recent heart problems may prove that the job is too much for him.

Assistant manager Gary McAllister has said that his recovery is going well and that he is in high spirits claiming that he fully intends to return, showing that the anxieties that plagued his years at Liverpool is not there.

It may have been a stop-start first season for the Frenchman but it s clear that he needs a full season to mould his own team with his own players and only then if he fails will fans be justified in chanting Houllier out.

If he doesn t return though then I wish him a happy retirement and I will admit that I have lay awake at night wondering what Rafa Benitez or David Moyes would do with the team if they had the chance (both of whom have been linked with taking over in the off season.)

Either way, one thing you can be sure of is that there will be some drastic changes before next season kicks off.
