You've got to wonder where the papers get these rumours, but the one today is that we are after a new right back and that we are leading the chase. His name is Miguel and this isn't the first time we've 'led the chase'.
For those that don't know, Miguel is 29 years old, is a right back, so plays where Luke Young plays, where Habib Beye plays and where Carlos Cueller and James Milner have has done a very decent job as cover this season, so naturally, we are desperate for him to come.
We actually might be. Is Luke Young Happy? I suspect Habib Beye isn't and Carlos Cueller isn't a natural right back so there is every chance that a right back would be needed, but this was found in The Sun, and it really isn't even the second time his name has come up.
Martin O'Neill has someone in Portugal. Okay, I'm not sure of that, but we have been linked to players in Portugal almost since the day O'Neill arrived and we were extremely interested in Bosingwa some time before he went to Chelsea, but we hesitated on price, which was a lot cheaper than the amount Chelsea finally paid.
So, there could be something in this, but take it with a pinch of salt for now, because for the first time since O'Neill has been manager, right back is a position that is well and truly covered.
Right, first post of the day and I think today is going to be a busy day, so probably something later.

... early post damian !!! We have been linked with this dude loads of times i suspect it is papers churning over their old stories as nothing concrete or even a sniff has come out of Villa regarding what or who they are going to sign in January. I can see why we would sign this bloke but i dont think for one minute we are leading the chase as i suspect there is not much of a chase at the minute  |

... Nothing in this rumour. Just sloppy journalism where the papers are digging through old transfer history and bringing up a story that was never going to happen. |

... I have heard that Guzman, Chelsea had been linked, is a pretty good bet to be coming to Villa, dont no much about him but i have heard he is very good plays in midfield |

... Early one today.. did someone s**t the bed!! , Right back isn't a priority position so wouldn't read to much into that.. as said before we are now at a stage were we want to be adding the "icing on the cake" signings...that's why im amazed damian thinks mon should only be given this season . That's like asking a builder to dig out the foundations, do the brick work and then sack him because your not happy with the job... when he hasn't had a chance to finish the job. We have to give him at least one more year because he has built solid foundations, there's nothing wrong with the brick work and we have to let him complete the job. |

... We need 2 really top players to finish off our team and squad, a creative midfielder and a striker, i think they will be signed in the summer, dont expect much to happen in jan, we will finish 7th i think this season, disappointing on the whole but thats reality |
SidCowanslovechild

... de Guzman looks pretty good, scores goals for Feyenord but has had some injury problems. I look forward to having Guzan, Guzman, L Young, Ash Young, James Collins, other James Collins, Delph and Delph in the same team, sign David Villa as well and that should really confuse the commentators PS Frosty, when I compared Defoe to Torres, Van Persie and Drogba it was to say that he was probably the next best striker in prem after these players, not that he was as good as them - there is something of a gap |

... Vijay, I think 7th is realistic but with a bit of luck we could be higher and 4th is unlikely but not out of the question. The bar has been raised and we could end up with more points than last year, ahead of Everton but still 7th. Some will argue this is going backwards but i'm not so sure. I'm not expecting January to bring quality reinforcements but you never know |
Chiefy
said:
|
... Oh the joys 7th ??!!!?!??!?? come on i reckon we are going to sneak 4th if we really get lady luck on side if not i see 5th is where we will finish. Optimisim dont you just love it. Downing is back, Emule is about to start banging them in for fun now he has scored everything is rosey Guzman in Jan we are going to finish this season strongly i just know it |

... SidCowanslovechild the bar has been raised, but who raised it? wouldn't it have been nice if it was us? there is also an argument that actually, it hasn't been raised if you look at the fortunes of liverpool and everton and while manchester city have the money, have they really raised it? what i'm getting at is, it might not have been raised really and we might be surprised this season or we might not be and if we are not, then we cant really use the excuse that the bar was raised when others around us and actually above us last season, might not perform at the same level or end up with the same points |

... Looking forward to spurs tommorow? im a bit pissed off cause i cant make it there. I have given my ticket to a work mate, so unfortunatly there will be a spurs fan in the villa end, although in my eyes thats better than an empty seat. To the match ive told him the same thing im going to write here, if hesky starts we will lose. We might see downing, milner and young, just behind gabby, with petrov, and agaist my better judgment sidwell (should be coker) playing as holding nids. if we play this we will win. If we play the same team who started agaist burnley i fancy a draw. I shall wait till i see the team news before maing any bets, my money im afraid is on a loss or draw. i doubt we will see the 4231 formation, and i have a deep fear that hesky will start on the merits of one goal, which he nearly missed from 2 yards anyway. |

... Miguel is 29 years old and for the 25th year in a row we are linked with him due to this falling out with his coach. Must be the easiest job in the world making these rumours up and then using the same one's over and over for years. |
ronrabbit
said:

... Also if we are talking players the one i really want is krasic from cska, he tore wolfsberg arpart, and they are a pretty decent side. He is young, he can drop deep, he runs at players, He looks fantastic. Cant say he is o'neill's type though, he is russian (foreign), small, creative, and can pass the ball along the ground, three things o'neill doesnt look for in the transfer market. |
ak_27
said:

... ronrabbit i meantioned that Krasic lad after they played Utd as well. He was class. The ball just stuck to his foot and nobody could get near him. |

... Damo, Man City and Spurs have raised the bar and made it more difficult to get top 6. What I was getting at is we might get more points this season and be closer to 1st in terms of points but still be 7th or even 8th if Everton turn it around I think we are improving but there is more competition for top 6 now. Yes I would prefer it if we were dramatically raising the bar but it ain't easy We will see |
SidCowanslovechild
said:
|
... Chiefy hope your right, 4th is possible as I say but I think this one is a slow burner and we won't really be a really good team until the likes of Albrighton, Fonzi, Delph and Clark mature |
Damian
said:
|
... SidCowanslovechild i know where you are going, but have spurs really raised the bar? as for man city - i fancy, if the money is for real (which i suspect it is) that they will one day win the league, but can any of us really see them doing it with mark hughes? i wouldn't say spurs have raised the bar, i'd say they have just gone back to where they were three or four seasons ago and well, mark hughes has had nearly a third of the season and they are hardly setting the world alight ... the last thing i want to here at the end of the season is that we didn't do as well because other teams around us raised the bar when actually, they might not have |

... Just listening to talk sport, all their pundits were just saying Spurs and Villas squads are now better than Liverpool and Man Citys, and we are more likely to get top 4 than either Liverpool or Man City.. They were all glowing with praise for Oneil and what hes done as well. Thats what we want , some positivity !! Why cant villa fans be more like this UTV |
Chiefy
said:
|
... Villarobin - i am like that everyone thinks i have blind faith but i am merely optimistic and positivity breeds postivity and being postive makes life easier than being a pessmist |

said:

... I agree Chiefy, but negativity breeds negativity too!  I'm just looking at my mug.. It says 'Better to understand a little, than to misunderstand a lot!'  We don't need a RB, we need a creative Midfielder if anything. |
villarobin
said:
|
... Chiefy - Exactly, I dont have blind faith but for the life of me i cant fathom why in the position that the club and the team is in at the moment anyone has grounds to be pessimistic.. |
villarobin
said:
|
... Villa / Spurs and Man City, have all raised the bar because they have all got their acts together, they are all obviously now alot closer to Liverpool and Arsenal. |
Damian
said:
|
... villarobin it is easy for someone to look in from the outside. its like me looking in at arsenal or manchester united and seeing something that maybe their supporters dont for pundits, looking in occasionally, it is easy to see positivity but we had all that, at pretty much the same time of the season last time round and the one before that the proof will be at the end of the season and some aston villa fans don't actually see the standard of football improving. we might be wrong, but we saw it last season and the season before, so we are working on something other than the occasional look through the window i'd love it if we finished 4th and for me, the target has to be 5th this season as that will be real progress and that is what i want .. get my 5th and i'll be the happiest aston villa you will ever meet basically, we have ground to be pessimistic because we were here last season and the season before ... fairly solid reasons i hope you will agree |
villarobin
said:

... I know what you mean Damian and i know you are not a total pessimist for the sake of it like some are. But also , yes we were in this situation last year and the year before, but again surely that is a good thing, not a bad one. We are up there again challenging for the top 4, we are stabalising ourselves as a top team year on year. this is a good thing. Hopefully we have learnt from the last 2 years and we wont slip away after xmas, and i believe we have learnt from it because the squad is now alot stronger. My point is the pessimism should start when we start slipping and not before. At villas stage its a results game , not a pretty football game (Although I do think we play good stuff as well sometimes) |
villarobin
said:

... Top 4 by any means necessary even if its long ball, and then start attracting the better players |

... This for me is the million dollar question. So far MON hasn't used the squad size and we could very well be once again worn out by the end of Jan. I don't think our first 11 have played too many games less then they had played at this time last season as we actually didn't play our first 11 in the carling cup or most of the UEFA cup games last season. I would like to see the stats for players minutes played and compare them to this time last season. If MON continue's down this path of playing the same 11/12/13 players for most games and not using subs then i think we are in for same poor form come Feb onwards. Squad size doesn't count for anything if it isn't utilised. |

... Miguel is a good player and MoN likes him. If we could get him in for less than £5m and offoad Beye in the summer for close to what we paid for him what would be the harm in that? Basically upgrading Beye for a couple of million for a player who has been a quality international for many years. If it's rumours then fine, but MoN has his favourites in the transfer market as well. as in the first team and this would not surprise me in the least. ak, i meantioned that Krasic lad after they played Utd as well No chance mate, Wenger is all over the deal. and the younger one a CSKA too but his name escapes me. They'll both be at Arse in a year. |
Damian
said:

... villarobin the thing is, we are not the first club to float around here are we. spurs and everton did it / are doing it and now, we have another team that has entered the fray in manchester city; because with mark hughes they are not going to enter the top four despite all the money they have and all the money they spend my point is, are we seeing the real progress needed to break into the top four or are we seeing the progress to see us be the best of the rest? only time will tell as none of us can see into the future but if you had to put your house on villa finishing in the top four this season, i dont think you would. i dont think many would and i think quite a few would be very nervous about putting their house on villa finishing 5th or even 6th but i'd put some money on spurs finishing 4th .. |
Juan Pablo Angel
said:

... We scraped 6th two season ago. Last season we threw away 4th and were unlucky to finish 6th This season we are up there again and have a bigger, better squad than ever before. I'm confident. Charlie Nicholas was talking about tomorrows game on SSN today and was just harping on about Spurs, didn't even give us a look in. Looks like we are being written off again and I like being the dark horse. A win tomorrow and perhaps a few people will sit up and take notice. |
ak_27
said:
|
... JPA i really feel sorry for Beye. He hasn't been given a fair shot at Villa really and the Newcastle fans really rated him. Then again they are Newcastle fans and they really have never had a good defender so what basis have they to judge him on. Where did you see Wenger was after them? He did look like a Wenger player though. Reminded me of Helb. |
SidCowanslovechild
said:

... I have just been listening to MON on the BRMB Forum which Badger posted. It has made me feel more confident because he was really addressing the issues most of us worry about head on ie he acknowledged Moscow and described his dilemma, bringing young players through (notably Fonz), talking about improving technical ability of the team, underperforming centre forwards and signing foreigners. If he'd covered subs and squad rotation would have been a full set. So at least we know he is thinking about these issues and was also bullish about Champs League Football soon and winning pots. He was also very intelligent and charming which I know doesn't necessarily make him a good manager but must help with man management. Feeling a bit more confient now but still going to be tough, the Spurs match should be a good indicator Posting the link again if people have missed it - a must listen http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/player/default.asp?s=14&e=115104 |

... Juan Pablo Angel if last year we threw away fourth then the same could almost be said for the season before. we were in a very strong position in that january and all we brought in was wayne routledge ... yes, there was a bigger gap last season from 6th to 7th but we were still in a very strong position in his second season |

...If MON continue's down this path of playing the same 11/12/13 players for most games and not using subs then i think we are in for same poor form come Feb onwards. He will, there isn't any point making your team any weaker at this stage. Get as many points on the board as you can and players will naturally get rests through injury and suspension over the course of the season. If we get to March and a player looks tired then we now have the depth to give him a game or two off. You also forget that by this time last year the team had played 9 games more and had been playing competitive matches since July. Without the Intertoto and UEFA cup we will be a lot fresher than last season after Xmas. |

... Sid it was a great interview. I just wish that guy hadn't wasted a question on is there any team you like to put one over on. As if he was ever going to answer that. Would have liked to have heard how the wage structure works in the club and will they break it to sign quality? |

...if last year we threw away fourth then the same could almost be said for the season before. we were in a very strong position in that january and all we brought in was wayne routledge ... I disagree, we were there or there abouts, but I would say in the second season we were over achieving with what we had available and had a really good season. We didn't capitulate like we did last year and I think anything above where we finished then was out of our reach. Last season we were excellent for a long period. We were in with a title shout if you look at the table last february which was ridiculous and we really did throw it away. You can't argue that last years team wasn't any better tha n the side a year before and imo despite not really clicking yet this is a better side again. We have improved every season MoN has been in charge and as long as that is happening i'm very happy indeed. The club operates like a big club, not an outdated mid table sleeping giant. We actually have a great deal of clout and respect these days and long may it continue. |

... JPA i was trying to work out how many extra games we had played last year. I didn't come up with 9. The thing is in many UEFA cup games we played a second string team. As i remember it was only Ajax at home where we played our first team in. Put it like this at this stage this year i would say Ashley has played probably at least 4 games more then Rooney has. Never mind adding in 20mins here and there when players are taken off at other clubs all this milage being put up now will take its toll when we need our players to kick on. The other top mangers seem to use the rotation during the entire season to get its maximum effect but MON does not. |
Juan Pablo Angel

...JPA i was trying to work out how many extra games we had played last year. I didn't come up with 9. OB Odense - Home and away FH Harfsnarfsnarfsnarf - Home and away Litex Lovech - Home and away Ajax Zilina thats eight with Hamburg looming on the 17th December. We had tired players who'd been playing since July, we lost our Captain and best defender and had a crisis of confidence. We are better prepared this season and the players will be much much fresher. |
ak_27
said:
|
... Id forgotten about 2 of those ties. But in reality we have only played 4 less this season if you factor in Vienna home and away and also carling cup 120mins. I think we played 2nd string team in Zelina at home and one of the Harfsnarfsnarfsnarf matches as well. But we do have better options on the bench so hopefully this won't affect us again. Onto the game do you think MON will risk Downing from the start? |
Juan Pablo Angel
said:
|
... ak, fair enough mate there is a difference between flying to Hungary and getting a coach to Sunderland tho. And when you say second string I think you'll find if you check the team sheets the side looked something like this: ---------Guzan-------- Gardner--Davies-Cuellar-Young Milner--Petrov--Barry---Young -------Carew----Gabby-------- Bannan, Brights and Fonz were introduced towards the end of games, but we only ever really rested Laursen and Friedel and Barry for one away game, I think in Hamburg. The only game when a proper second string started was away in Moscow. We could send a second string this year and it would probably win. ------Guzan------- Young--Davies--Cuellar-Bouma Albrighton-NRC-Delph-Downing ----Delfouneso---Heskey----- Big big difference to the quality and Depth of last season. |
ak_27
said:
|
... Fair enough JPA. I hope MON plays NRC this sat. I think we will need him in there to put Huddelstone under pressue. He could really cause Huddlestone a lot of trouble as he isn't really the quickest of players and NRC's drive could really upset him and stop him creating too much. Have a feeling it will be Sidwell though. He is really getting a very bad habit of diving in needlessly and giving away free kicks. |
vivavilla
said:

... That second string team is a mid table Premiership side if you ask me. Massive step up. |
Juan Pablo Angel
said:
|
... Viva, This one is top four ------Friedel-------- Cuellar-Dunne-Collins-Warnock Milner-Petrov-Sidwell-Young ----Gabby--Carew---------  I can't wait to see how we fit Downing in once he is properly match fit. It just sudden;y feels like we have a bit more quality in there. Instead of wondering who will play out of NRC and Sidwell it appears neither are guaranteed a place now. |
Rios.Jockstrap
said:
 |
... Well we will find out on Saturday (or when Collins is fit and ready to return) whether this story is true or not, because i can see our tacticly astute gaffer persisting with Cuellor ahead of Luke. I would say though, that recent comments from Martin and Luke concerning whether Luke was fit enough to play or not, do contradict each other. So is there friction between the two? To be perfectly honest, until the arrival of Luke into that position, its proved to be the Gaffers achilles heel. How long did we have to wait for a right-back to arrive, and how many have played there. Then when we buy one, Martin plays him at at left-back. Luv martin to bits, but he dont half muddle my head up! |
Juan Pablo Angel
said:
|
... ak, Sidwell is a squad player, a perfect example of a transfer that wasn't big money for a player who has talent and we signed him in the hope we could find the best of him again and it didn't quite work. It was a fairly low cost gamble that didn't pay off, much like Heskey, Harewood, Routledge etc. At least he's a decent squad player. If NRC leaves and we bring in a replacement of real quality Sidwell may well find a first team spot tough to come by towards the end of the season. He's had a good run and a chance and hasn't taken it. He needs to be scoring goals from that position and he just isn't. Despite his short comings size wise and lack of experience Delph looks like he could be the goal scoring passing midfielder we need, I hope he develops quickly. |
Juan Pablo Angel
said:

...To be perfectly honest, until the arrival of Luke into that position, its proved to be the Gaffers achilles heel. I agree, RB was a pain in the arse ever since the mighty Delaney went tbh. Hughes was ok, but he does pretty well at CB for Fulham these days and Bardsley wans't good enough for us. Luke Young is a really good player and I like him. It may be that after the emotional upheave he had over his brother took it's toll more than the club is at liberty to say. There was a small altercation between the two in the summer, but I think this has been blown up a little too much. Plus we know that O'Neill is a big fan of Cuellar and he was in all fairness playing decently. I think playing Cuellar at RB when Dunne Collins came into the side has vastly improved his understanding with them at the back and has helped when he has come in while Collins has been out. Young will play against Spurs. |
vivavilla
said:
|
... O'Neill obviously sees something in Sidwell he likes. There must be a reason why he persists with him, I'm just dying to know what it is when pretty much every single Villa can see he's taking up a spot that can be much better used by Delph or Reo-Coker. |

... Has anyone seen this, by Shorey, about going to Forest? “The prospect of being involved in a club that appears to be moving forward in the right direction is certainly appealing.’’ Now, that strikes me as a) a bloke who could definitely have worded that better or b) a bloke having a real dig at the club. http://www.birminghammail.net/...-25267800/ |

As has been mentioned 1000 times already, this Miguel rumour is really old news and most probably just being dredged up by some reporter who can't be bothered to get his finger out of himself and do some real reporting for a change. Perhaps it would be a nice idea to collect all the naffest rumours right up to the end of the January Window, then pick the 10 best, put them in a poll for absolute worst and then present the bloke who came up with it, with a little token of our appreciation (A small cup, engraved with their name, paper and the fact they came up with the worst/most blatent lie rumour of the period?

... As it's never going to happen anyway, it would be nice to be linked with some exciting players from time to time. Sneijder, or however you spell him, was exciting for a while. As for tomorrow, well what a game to put down a marker ? That jovial chump Lawro even has us down as a win. Can't help thinking Reo is on the same course as Shorey - who sounds a little bitter from his stuff he's saying. Nice of Warnock to show sympathy too regarding the same thing happening to him at Liverpool. And Warnock is still better than any left back thay've got now or have had since. So, Up The Villa ! Study the oposition MON. Think about it. We need to snuff them out early doors. Impose ourselves on the game. Take control of the midfield and go after them. Play Reo and Delph MON in a five man midfield - Carew is too unreliable, Heskey is too crap. If we need to chase the game, take off Coketasticker, bring on the Fonze, and go 4.4.2. Now is the time MON Seize The Moment. |

... Pancho Reo would be perfect tomorrow I think but can't get my head round where MON is going with him. I don't think it is cut and dried that he is off as he has not shut him out completely, he was captain couple of games back. I am expecting Petrov and Downing to start in the middle - we will have to see if that pairing has enough bite to subdue those fancy Dan Southeners |

... Thanks Darren, I needed some MIME thingy to hear Interview. Listening to that made me realise what a top man MoN is, and JC for that matter. Do you think that MoN has shares in the Broad Street Traders' Association? |

... Habib Beye hasn't made it and will leave. Luke Young needs competition and is injury prone. Wouldn't be that bad a signing - but I wish the focus was on a goalscorer. |
