Ashley Young has verbally agreed to join Villa according to SSN.

To be honest we are on the ropes after the drubbing by Birmingham and I'm happy we've got through this game without getting beat. Now we have 10 days to prepare for Villa, get players back fit and reinforce the squad with a couple of new players.

Yep, against Villa.

Hope Anton's injury isn't serious enough to scupper his possible move as he would be a very good addition for us.

Roeder reiterated again yesterday he intends to bring 2 in on loan before the end of the transfer window.

Given and Ramage injured today, surely the crisis can't get any worse. Hopefully they are not too badly injured.

I'll settle for 2-2. Keeps us in touch with Europe. Shame about Given and Ramage though.

http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=440860&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=&title=Toon+in+hunt+for+Italian The 20-year-old only signed a long-term deal in October and Inter are likely to keep the interested parties waiting before making a decision on his future. "We will make a decision on the future of Andreolli on 29th January," Inter director of sport Marco Branca told the club's website. So by the sounds of thst he won't be signed until the 29th at the earliest.

Who?

So Roeder is selling one of his midfielders simply because he could be bringing another one in on loan. We only really have 4 central midfielders, so if 2 get inured we are then down to the bare bones, their is nothing wrong with bringing in an extra player to strengthen the squad.

Pure speculation but I think Diarra's move could be happen very soon. He took no part in Chelsea's game last night and from what I've read didn't even travel down to Wycombe with Chelsea.

Was Donaldson any good? I saw he's scored 5 goals in 4 games and was just wondered if he was as good as his goal scoring record suggests.

Anyone know how the lads are getting on against Norwich?

Signed the contract about a month ago, not realy new news.

McCoist has gone to Rangers with Smith. I guess Scotland gonna have to find a new manager from scratch. At least Souness is available for them.

To be honest their is a bit of a difference between playing in a freindly and actually being offered to manage of the big 2 in Scotland.

Doing the right thing in a way by saying this. The last thing we want is these kids to start thinking they are superstars when they've only played a handful of games.

Link United were linked with Birmingham centre-half Matthew Upson, West Ham's Anton Ferdinand and Chris Riggott of Middlesbrough today, but none of this trio is on Roeder's wanted list. So he's not interested in Anton, I think that sorts this debate out then.

If this is true, then that should end our interest! Why because he is unhappy that he hasn't played single game this season? I'd be unhappy if I was a pro footballer and I didn't get a single game until after Christmas.

Urgh, seriously? He was sh*te at Wolves, Celtic & West Ham! He was excellent last night but I could have made Paletta look a numpty. Haven't ever seen him before but if he was crap at those clubs I doubt he'd make it here.

Why? We are not going to mount any serious challenge this year are we? The way I see it if we buy younger palyers we will be better off in a few years when they develop. Like with when we signed Jenas, Lua-Lua, Bramble, Viana, O'Brien & Ambrose you mean? Yes. My personal opinion is that Jenas was and still is a very good player it's just he fell out with Souness and fell out of love with the city. As for Lua-Lua I think we would all take him back in a heartbeat right now to be out bakcup striker. Bramble has never filled his potential but then again that could probobly be siad about any defender we have signed in the last decade bar Woodgate. Viana and O'Brien were definete failures although I would have liked to see Viana given more of a chance. As for Ambrose I actually rated him as a backup midfielder, he was never gonna make it as a starter every week but i would definetly take him back to add depth to the central midfield area.

Diarra is about Makelele's size, maybe slightly taller. As for my view on Huntington and Edgar to me they both look very incomplete at the minute. Both of them seem to be solid at LB, don't get forward much but don't make too many mistakes, however Huntington must take the blame for a fair few of our goals recently when he has played CB recently.

Warnock is better than Babayaro. That Aladiere lad looked good for Arsenal. Wouldn't mind him on loan for the rest of the season.

I'd sign him on loan until the end of the season or for a very small amount.
