You're a very, very silly man indeed, mate. I'm in my late 30s and have been supporting us since I was 5. In that time I've seen us win one European Cup, one league title, one European Super Cup, and four league cups. Your turn.

Most Villa fans want him to leave tbh. In fact, MON isn't even that bothered - he just wants to get a huge fee for him. the thing is, that he could go on a free end of the season, so 18 million is far too much He's got two years left on his contract

Sadly, we've been linked with both of them. pair kaboul with zat knght and you're we're lauging Zat did alright last season. True fact. As for Harry, if he told me the earth was round, I'd check it out on wikipedia.

Sadly, we've been linked with both of them.

I remember when he had his fall in the bath and became a quadri-spazzed. Noelle Gordon was a season ticket holder at the Villa.

Just signed a new 4 year contact with Racing Club Sphincter.

Please, Christ, no.

Was he talking about Crouch?

Villa said to have had bid for Zigic accepted by Valencia. I know nothing about him (don't do FM) other than he is huge. So I'll nod my head appreciatively.

We're after every right back in the world, or have been at some point, he just seems to have a mental block on fucking well buying one. Great manager, but so fucking frustrating.

Martin. BUY A FUCKING RIGHT BACK.

Thursday I was watching SSN and they breathlessly reported "Manchester United have made an offer for a player". No hint as to the player or anything. Absurd.

Away from home? Yep.

Villa 1 up in our Intertoto game after 6 mins. Carew.

So "delusional" he will end up with both the players he has so called "done it" to this window. The issue being with Benitez that he hasn't actually got the money to buy the players he wants, so he has to resort to this kind of behaviour to put Spurs and Villa in an untenable position.

Hardly tapping up - Spurs have tried to flog him to Sunderland, and then informed him he has no future at the club. Keane clearly wants to play for Liverpool, they're his club. Benitez drops into an interview that Keane is one of the players on his list. That's absolutely fucking outrageous behaviour, and not the first time he's done similar this summer. Two weeks ago he was doing the same with David Villa. Before that it was him then his captain doing the same about Barry.

All very well. Until it happens to you. Ferguson is a cunt, but at least he's not a delusional cunt like Benitez, who has done it several times this transfer window.

Modric will have gone to Spurs at least partly because if he wants to hang around with other young Croatians, there's plenty of them around. Newcastle, I imagine, doesn't have much of a Croatian population. That's a gross simplification, but he's opted to live in one of the three or four most exciting cities in the world. For a young man with shit loads of money, that's a pretty big pull. Incidentally, pretty much nobody (except Spurs and at a push Portsmouth) has spent real money so far this season, it has been very slow. I think what will happen is a few big transfers will happen (Barry, Bentley, Ronaldo, Berbatov) and that will unlock a bigger wave of transfer moves. Things will get going soon enough.

Hleb wasn't all that. Song, Walcott, Diaby will all step up I am sure. Hleb last year put in probably the best 45 minutes I've ever seen from an opposition player at Villa Park. Well, best for a very, very long time, anyway.

MON was annoyed that, two days before a crucial end of season game against Wigan, Liverpool make an offer and it leaks into the press, to the Liverpool Echo. In those circumstances, he is going to have to comment, and he was asked about the offer in his weekly press conference. Then shortly after we get Gerrard talking about how Barry needs to leave to play on the CL stage, and how Villa fans should understand this etc etc - kind of ironic after Gerrard almost walking out on Liverpool to go to Chelsea not too long ago. It is all very shabby and not the way Liverpool used to do things. After these unsettling tactics fail to work, the player then gets his agent to issue a statement slagging off MON for not being in contact / not making him feel "wanted" (incidentally, his agent has been hawking him around - primarily to Chelsea - since the start of the year, so this really doesn't wash). As for MON going on about it - he hasn't. He has consistently said that we've got a figure we want for Barry, and Liverpool haven't matched it. Until then, there's nothing to talk about (which there isn't). The implication from Liverpool is that we should roll over and let you have him, or you'll take your money elsewhere. That might have worked a few years ago, but we don't need the money, and we don't need to sell unless we want to. If you want him, Benitez knows the price. If you don't want to pay the price, go elsewhere, but the underhand snidey stuff is really not very nice at all.

Me too. In fact, I'd prefer us to do that than keep him now, the fat-arsed cunt.

Yes. I'm surprised he has gone there, I too think he could have done better (I think Albion are after a keeper, for example). Although on the whole I'm just glad he's not coming to us. His decline after the Croatia blunder was just awful to watch. Good luck to the bloke though, said to be a nice chap, he could do with some luck. I just don't think picking the ball out of the Stoke net 4 times every match is going to help get that confidence back.

City are seriously fucked up. 25m for a washed-up, fat waster who is clearly only ever going to go there for the money? Jesus.

I think the internet should be SHUT DOWN in the summer months so we could all go back to getting our transfer news from teletext. Also, you'd still get players being sold and saying things like "the first I knew about it was when I saw it on teletext". Although, having said that, most players are so mentally backward, they probably can't work out how to use that there internet.

8. I'll get "Alan Smith is the new Cruyff" tattooed on my forehead.
