very nice

Nice kit, seen Given has signed on a 5 year deal. Interesting.

It's a Given that he will be a fantastic signing.

I think you'll do well this year.

Ahh very good - I see what you did there Pip




Yeah possibly so he can end his career with us, or if hes bad in 2 years time, he'll still be worth some because of a remaining 3 year contract



I reserved that post to add links in at the end of each day, like the Given Signing and The Kits. So there will always be somewhere to refer to, to look back at old news.

Any rumours on wingers for you guys? We've signed Young and Downing's off to Liverpool so i'm sure you'll be in the market looking for someone

Please buy that shit cunt Van Persie off us ?

@Kuled, they had an N'Zogbia bid rejected I believe.

Erm yeah Whelan (Wigan Chairman) apparently said 9 million for The Zog so we did that, then he publicly says 10 million, so I think we're lining up a new offer for him. However if they/he rejects us, then according to some Italian newspapers and SkySports we could be in for Juan Manuel Vargas,

Don't make me hit you

Just seen this on the Premier League Transfer Rumour Page on FaceBook:

Official Ashley young twitter account, he twitted you cannot buy a Everton shirt with the name 'Rodwell' on the back? just saying folks.

Vargas is a great crosser of the ball. I rate him alot, he can play as a left back/winger I think he'd do well at Villa.

N'Zogbia and Vargas would be great but apparently McLeish has said, only one more signing for us, so its either one of those Id say. For instant premier league impact I'd say N'Zogbia, but I'd be more excited about Vargas

I'm off now lads, don't spam the thread with too many comments, otherwise its a lot for a newcomer to get his head round hahaha, however if you do have any rumours/news/gossip please feel free to share!

See ya, bent

Night

I'm glad you signed Given, it means you won't come in for Lee Camp now


Do you go to Villa games or have a Season Ticket? And what do you think of McLeish being your manager?

Lee Camp is wank ffs

Isn't Lee Camp going to Swansea?

If it wasn't Given it would of been Foster/Green - So happy with Given tbh.


Yeah I have a season ticket, was undecided for this year with all the disasters that have happened, but decided to stay and support the team. At first I saw McLeish being linked with Villa, then he resigned, and I shit myself. But now he's done all the right things, signed a quality keeper, and now we just have to support the team!

What are your opinions on Emile 'God' Heskey?

N'Zogbia.

Better than Young.

Nah N'Zogbia as good as Young, could be better. Contributes a lot more for the team, goals wise though.



Heskey. Overpaid. Useless Sub. Should get him off the wage bill, 500k to Leicester would do me nicely.

N'Zogbia was statistically the most successful dribbler last season. Would he be given the license to dribble at Villa ?
The Hesky thing is a joke going around on the forum btw.

Yeah I know, Gotta love a bit of piss taking of Heskey

Yeah I like N'Zogbia and he'd be an instant impact already knows the Premier League so for 10 million it's a great bit of business to sell Downing for double the price haha!

I cannot respect this opinion.

There's a few Villa fans at my college (im not sure why) and there all big fans of Bent!

I bet you were happy when you were getting bent

My worst nightmares have come to life...a Villa fan on The Playmaker
