Alot of confusion about how far along this transfer is. 99% sure it will happen though, which is the main thing.

Smiths not lazy, just incredibly shit!

"He does have a player in from Boavista"

Like i said yesterday, far too good to be true. IF this did happen, i actually think we will get about 4m for him. They can have him for pennies as far as i care.

Jonathan Woodgate. If there is anything worse than joining the Smoggies it's joining Spurs. The sound of his voice is annoying as fuck.

Alot of people of said that but i really see no advantage to having a double unveiling. However, i fully expect us to be in for other players regardless of the Coloccini situation. Hopefully, Coloccini will be confirmed today, followed by someone next week. there is no advantage but it looks good. Not quite sure the people in charge care about media coups and all that. Think they would rather just get the guys through the door. Doesn't mean for a second that by coincidence we couldn't sign a couple of people in one day ala Faye and Beye.

Fingers well and truly crossed. I can wait until the last day of the window mind, as long as he does go.

On the one hand it's devastating the world will lose such a wonderful man. On the other, he's had a remarkable life and can die with his head held up very high for what he has achieved. The day he dies will be a celebration of his life, not the mourning of his death.

If it is in spain, there is little chance of us hearing about it so soon. On the other hand, if he is meant to be flying in for a medical, i'd love to know what he's still doing in spain. I think most of what we are hearing is bollocks now, just a matter of confirmation, which i expect in the next few hours.

Where does it say that? All i have seen is the stuff on their website?

Given Beye Faye Coloccini Enrique Butt Guthrie Jonas Milner Smith Martins Would be my guess. Needless to say, hopefully Smith won't play.

Better than some of the signings we have done in the past couple of years. Martin O'Neill picks solid premiership players and makes them work as a team. Luke Young was a good player in a shite team at Chalton, ditto Shorey at Reading. Now they will be good players in a good team.

Cracking signings.

So the jist now is that the other days anouncement was simply a verbal agreement, now we have a formal agreement. So should we expecting 12 medicals aswell? I don't doubt this transfer will go through but fucking hell.........

As anyone posted a picture of the guy yet?

So you reckon Shorey is heading to Villa park, good signing if true? The good thing for Villa fans is that you have a young squad, the likes of Agbonlahor, Young etc are all improving and will be a season better. Effectively signings in theirselves. As long as your not selling your best players, you won't go backward IMO. Barry is a good player but Sidwell is a good replacement (even if he's not like for like), in fact in some respects Sidwell is better.

Don't think he will ever get back to his best. N'Zogbia's the better player.

Aye should be, still early though. Reportedly a press conference later in spain.

Sorry mate, bit bored so i thought i'd hurle some abuse about.

Look who's crawled out of his hole.

You think this one has been drawn out? How long has johnson to fulham being going on.... feels like forever. Ours seems done just needs confirmed, we won't hear anything until this afternoon i imagine.

West Ham have agreed to release Ljungberg. Surely if you were Hull, Stoke etc you would take the risk on a player like Freddy?

Seemingly this story is being reported quite alot. Too good to be true surely?

Thing is though, is that at the expense of having two left backs at the club? I rate Enrique but i don't like the thought of N'Zogbia as back up.... for a few reasons. There is Edgar but afer that i am struggling. Unless that bassong lad can do something there, i've been away for three weeks, so missed the crack with the lad? On the other hand i fully agree about the need for them two other positions.
