Nicky shorey wasn't the best transfer from MON so­ villa need a player like leighton baines to replace him­ and a back up centre back also get rid of reo-coker and­ buy someone who has more attacking qualities and maybe­ buy leo franco for a replacement to big brad

sidwell and shorey are truely rubbish, wake up villa­ fans!! its only the likes of milner, young, barry wen­ he was there that showed true talent

villa should sign distin and jenas . They are perfect­ for them

Steve, he's been strongly linked with us (Spurs)­ and Inter Milan and Bayern. Being linked doesn't­ mean a thing, if you have a bid accepted for him,­ Martin O'Neill will have a hell of a job persuading­ him to join. If he manages to pull that off, then fair­ play.

Karl, we'll see he's been strongly linked with­ Villa in the last few weeks.

Steve, Wesley Snejider will not become an Aston Villa­ player. He'll go to a bigger club, who are plying­ their trade in the Champions League.

I'm expecting at least one more signing before the­ end of August and that's Snejider from Real Madrid,­ who should end up being our Barry replacement as­ he's a creative midfielder. Our goalies are both­ excellent, midfield with a fit Petrov, Milner, Young,­ Downing, Sniejder and Delph to pick from is nearing one­ of the best in the premiership if they all play well­ and I can see us playing with Gabby up front in a 4-5-1­ formation quite a bit, or perhaps a 4-4-2 with a­ supporting striker.

Either way, my only concern is­ defence, but once we get Young (L) and Bouma back, with­ Davies and Cuellar in the middle, it should be more­ than enough. As long as we can get a run as we did last­ year and not collapse in the new year, we'll have­ done well.

Top 6 would be a good result this year, any­ higher and I think tbh, we've done very well. We­ need some world class signings to threaten the top 4­ consistently, but I do believe in the next few years we­ will get there.

The trouble we will have is holding­ onto the likes of Young. We do however have a raft of­ promising talent coming through the ranks as well which­ is good to see.

cameron w u r mad +crazy MON rocks

as a long term villan , now residing in dundee i saw a­ lot of carlos cueller and can not see why he did team­ up with lausen last season in central defence .the guy­ was immense for rangers a couple of seasons ago­ .starting him along side such a rock in central defence­ would only have honed his already cosiderable skills to­ help him adjust to the more demanding leauge.
he may­ not have been able to fill the hole completely when­ laursen had to retire ,but would have been a much more­ capable central defender . he seems a little wasted in­ his current position.
perhaps a chance missed by martin­ o'neil ,but apart from that he is doing a bostin­ job.

LOL...!!Shorey is better than Beye...!!And Reo­ Cocker??central midfilder??..LOL...Sidwell is in11

Even you jimmyrice should know that it took ferguson a­ good few years to win anything with Man Poo! MON is­ doing the business for villa. We've shown good­ steady progress since his arrival and i guarantee that­ in the seasons to come villa be be a thorn in the side­ of many a club! A title? perhaps not just yet, but a­ trophy certainly very soon! With the superb Randy­ Lerner at the helm and the way MON is looking to bring­ thru kids (remember Fergusons - scholes,giggs,nevilles­ etc) there are serious foundations being laid on which­ the future success of the club will not only be built,­ but sustained!! UP THE VILLA! (villa to finish top 6­ again)

Nice blend of youth of experience, I would start Carew­ ahead of Heskey, Bouma somewhere in defense and Downing­ in the first team too...This team is capable of­ challenging for a champions league spot

cameron w u r an as s hole

Jimmyrice man u are champs again - You just prove the­ point Man U fans know nothing about football.

@ 2, friedel is a quality keeper, what are you talking­ about. sure, he aging, but hes still miles ahead of­ kuszak or foster, the only options manure has now.­ villa do need a quality defender and midfielder, with­ those they could really push arsenal this season.­ we're winning the title tho
