I mean no offence to the players that are getting linked to us today, but if these are the players we are going after then our expectations for next season, if things do not work out this one, are going to be shattered before the season even begins.
I'm not saying Martin O'Neill, but the club have done a fantastic job of getting our expectations raised the past couple of seasons and I don't think there has been a transfer window where we can say we were really satisfied.
I know this sounds silly, but we need to see an influx of speculation right about now for quite a few players. You think I'm mad, but sorry, it's not madness, it's planning.
Basically, Martin O'Neill can not finish the season, have his holiday wherever he is going this year then come back and start working on his transfer targets. He's got to get them lined up now and he's got to get as much of the groundwork done as possible.
To some extent, while rumours are quite horrible, it would be stupid of us to think that if Martin O'Neill is interested, there isn't going to be something getting out. People talk and it's sounds stupid, but we want to be hearing rumours.
The two today are Kyle Naughton, a right back at Sheffield United and Mbark Boussoufa, a midfield playmaker from Anderlecht.
The thing is, we need better than these two players we're getting linked to today and while I'm a big fan of Martin O'Neill adding three or four players to the squad he has now, you've got to fancy that he's going to lose one, two or maybe even three this summer, so while I like the slower approach of really building a team it could be that if we don't find five or six players then we're not going to be moving forward.
Again, no disrespect to the players, but it also can't just be squad players that we're after. Martin O'Neill has to look at adding to the starting eleven and in real quality - not blarney squad quality.
But at the same time, I hate rumours, however I also want to see them this year because we need the players if we're going to seriously challenge in anything next season, I mean the small squad excuse was used last season, we really didn't expect it to be used again this one and it can't be used next season, we have a multi-millionaire owner after all.
So, this isn't just about the two players were' getting linked to, but a call to arms. Spend the money O'Neill and don't go on holiday until your job is done. Get it done early and get it done professionally, no excuses next season and if you think we're impatient and unrealistic, don't blame us, it was the club that set our expectations.

... The last paragraph is spot on. The summer transfer window has plenty of time to plan for and if we don't buy some players that are of the class we need to help Villa progress further (or even of the class for O'Neill to actually want to play them!) then I'll be seriously pissed off. I don't want to hear any 'small squad' or 'No strength in depth' excuses at all next season,I've had enough of them! |

... I tend to agree with your sentiments Damian. I mean it's not important we go and get a superstar as such, but we need solid players who we know will strengthen the team. I read somewhere a couple of villians saying that L Young was the sort of player that lacked ambition. I'm sorry but I cannot agree with these fans. L Young has been one of best players this year. Possibly signing of the season? I think if we were to get a couple of signings of his calibre, possibly a little better then we'd be heading in the right direction. We need something more then what we have. I honeslty believe we have a strong squad of 14 or so players. These players are capable of gettin us to the premier league. We need players of that same quality, if not better if we are to progress. I am a big fan of the progression being made under MON. I think, at times, we have overachieved this season but yu must have the quality in order to produce the goods. I continue to say luck has nothing to do with it. Yu make yur own luck. So far this season we have been good enough. We may be having a little speed hump but I have faith in what we can achieve. Sorry this will be a little off-topic but my fear is that if we do not get 4th we will lose Barry. Forget progressing the squad we must try and keep the players of high calibre we currently have. No point in being almosts and ending up like Tottenham. Despite what yu say Damian, Barry will be difficult, if not impossible to replace. Especially at this time. He is an England regular. When he plays he does a good job. I'm not going to say he is the best midfielder in the EPL, or even our best midfielder, but without him we lack something. If we were to lose Barry I honestly believe unless somewone of a high calibre was to be signed we would struggle. Whether yu love him or hate him, and I do not love him, he is needed in our progression. We cannot afford to lose Barry. He is essential to our team build-up and when he has not played in the middle, be honest Damian, we lack something. I'm not sayin he is irreplacable. I'm saying he is irreplacable considering where we stand at the moment. I also hope we crack the top4 because it really will open up the doors for us to progress even further. We have a starting line up that I believe has the potential to challenge the Juventus', Real Madrid's and Barcelona's of this world. If we were to progress into CL add that needed quality, we could be a real force and we have the potential. I hope it happens. If we don't make top4, I honestly can't see us signing any eye-catching players. This wouldn't be the worst thing but we need to strengten. Maybe look abroad? |

... Barry will go, unless 4th is achieved. Harewood and Salifou have to be on their way, why are they still here anyway? I can see Carew going as well, if he does i'm worried as it shows that MON might lack that ability to control slightly wayward players? No need to replace the strikers, IF he goes back to 4-5-1, then 3 strikers would be enough with Milner and Webcam as emergencies. That leaves more room for midfielders as Barry and Salifou will be gone. I agree totally that the quality of the squad (and team) needs improving. Salifou out, Huddlestone in equals better squad. |
Ramon Maklouf
said:
|
... I agree Jonny, but if Carew and Harewood go and MON doesn't buy a striker he will get crucified. We have 5 strikers as is, and people still want Owen, or another 20-a-season striker. I think when fit, Carew can be that player. But nevertheless can yu honestly tell me no-one will complain if Carew and Hare go and no striker comes in ? If Carew leaves it'll also show he prefers, for some reason unknown... Heskey. |
Mike Carter
said:
 |
... Carew will probably go and to be honest I don't blame him, MON is showing no faith in him at all at the moment and that's absolutely crazy in my opinion. Big John is our only striker capable of hitting the net and yet MON looks past him every time. Ridiculous. |
jon
said:
|
... Yeah Ramon, I agree and I think Carew is the best striker at the club but I get the feeling MON would rather play Heskey (who will give him 100% all the time and maybe nick a goal) rather than Big John (Who may not always give 100% but when he does, he is unplayable). Someone said to me a while back that MON is the man for Villa now (top 6 and Uefa Cup) but ultimately not where they want to be (Top 4 and CL) I'm starting to think they were right. |
Christian
said:
 |
... If MON doesn't sign 5 or 6 QUALITY players this summer then something is clearly wrong with him! We've known for 2-3 years that our squad is threadbare, but this season's debacle since January must have nailed it home, even to a man as inept in the transfer windows as MON is... I don't know who this Boussofa fella is (surely someone on here plays Football Manager and can let us know  ) The last Belgian to join the Prem was Felliani- and he's quality so let's not write off this rumour yet! But I think it's a case of seeing where we finish before targets can be properly approached. If we get Top 4 suddenly our stock increases and the likes of Boussofa and Naughton ghet forgotten for the likes of Huntelaar and Valencia, if you like. But, for me, we wont get Top 4. So we best get tapping up Andy O'Brian and Roman Bednar before the others do...  |

... If Carew doesn't start this weekend, I'll start losing respect for MON. Its a non brainer.... A lump who plays more in midfield than upfront and has put our top scorer off his game or someone who is likely to score each time he plays??! I know which one I would choose! MON will lose a lot of fans if Carew does leave in the summer, I know that much! I wouldn't blame Carew if he did either. Will O'Neill change the formation/team come Sunday??? I'm guessing he is too stubborn to make the right decision! |

... Ha ha Christian thats what I thought when saw him in the top right hand side of the page! |

said:

... Agreed that Barry will be gone if we don't get CL, but don't understand why so many think Carew will be going? He signed a new contract only a few months ago stating he wanted to finish his career at Villa. Granted he's been injured and lost his place to the Donkey but if he carries on putting the goals away MON will see the light and he'll soon have his place back, won't he!? Looking at summer signings, we have enough squad players, we need some new blood in the 1st XI with that bit of something extra, someone who can pass the ball and create space which only Barry can do at the moment. Keep Barry and another 2 who has this quality and we'll be a force next season, another defender wouldn't go a miss either. One final thing, sorry of topic. Read in the sun this morning about a proposed new European Super League which will have 3 divisions of 60 teams. The 60 Top clubs which are members of the ECA (European Clubs Association) will be entered, There will be 5 from the EPL, ManU, Chelsea, Livershite, Arse & wait for it, NEWCASTLE! FFS, In the eyes of europe Newcastle are the 5th best club in EPL  . WTF is going on in the world! |

... Villa will not attract the top players such as David Villa whether we are playing champions league or not. MON is building a team that will be challenging for the league in 3 years time and that is the best way for us to go. We having a shitty time at present but the way we are progressing each season is impressive. MON will probably have 2 sets of players he is looking at, depending if we can offer champions league football or not. Just be patient. |

... I dont think we will get any big names unless we do what we have done this season next.. the reason being players will still think we are a one hit wonder. yes we got 6th last season but if we get 5/4th this and 5/4th next then we'll be seen as real threats and bigger names will take the jump. Really see L.young Barry Petrov Harewood Shorey and maybe even Sidwell leavign this summer. |
Michaell Lockey
said:

... I agree witht he 3 year plan. unless we get bought out by multi billionaires thenw e can buy buy buy until then we have to sit back and wait. |
Keith
said:
|
... I think Harewood, Shorey, Osbourne, Salifou, and Taylor will leave so that means we will need to sign 8 players in order to improve the size of the squad enough to cope with all of the league and cup games we can expect. |
Panos
said:
 |
... We need a striker that will step right in the team and score 20 goals a season. As much as I like Carew, he is not that kind of a player. |
Keith
said:
|
... Panos...I dont agree with you regarding Carew. 18 league appearances this season (7 of those as sub) and 7 goals is an excellent record. |

CSM
said:

... Just found the blog, I was wondering what had happend to it. I was starting to worry about you Damien!!! How frustrating was the Spurs game. Although I have a feeling we might get something from the Liverpool game. I might be completely deluded but we will play 4-5-1 which suits are game. Hopefully there will be less pressure on us and we can feel a bit more relaxed and play our counter attacking game. Totally agree that the players we are linked to are just not quality enough to move us forward. |
Chris Harper
said:
|
... I really want Carew to start instead of Heskey, however, I think its a shame he (Heskey) gets so much stick, because at the end of the day it's O'Neill that makes the decision for him to play. If I were Carew, not only would I be bigger than you, but I would also be knocking on Martin's door asking why I'm not starting. Saying that, Carew may already know the answer to this! I smell a rat  |

CSM
said:
|
... I think after Carew's performance on Sunday he has shown MON that his mind is back on playing for Villa. I hope he starts on Sunday against liverpool. My team would be....... Friedel Gk Luke Young LB Cueller CB Davies CB Reo Cocker RB Aghbonlahor RW Barry CM Petrov CM Milner CM Young LW Carew S I think Milner could do a job in the centre of the park just behind the striker. What do people think? |

CSM
said:
|
... 1874AVFC Fan - I would like to see Reo Cocker given a go in the middle but just feel he would do a solid job at Right Back against Liverpool and Man td. I remember him doing a good job there against United earlier in the season. I know Agbonlahor has been away with the fairies (not you Chris) for the last coupe of months but I think we need to exploit his pace. If we stick him out wide it takes the pressure off him as a goal scorer and might reignite his confidence. Chris - Great minds think alike! |

... 1874- I never rated Gabby when he played on the wing in the past either, but I think if he starts on Sunday, thats the best place for him in a 4-5-1 with Carew upfront. Then as Damian said, on the break we can attack with 4-3-3. This will make the most of his pace. |
Adey Stuttard

... Is it just me or does everyone agree that Carew just has to start this week? I got this joke from a Bluenose today.. HEADLINES.. Since January. Villa knocked out of F.A Cup. Villa knocked out of Europe. Villa lose 4th place in premiership. MESSAGE to special agent Heskey.. Mission accomplished. Return to base! Says it all doesn't it. Why on earth can't O'neill see it???? |

... I read down, then had to go back to the top to see what the subject was LOL  These transfer windows give me a headache, it's like expecting expensive champagne and being fobbed off with cheap cider when the signings are done and dusted. As much as I like cheap cider, I'd rather get p***ed on the class option, but MON likes to work on a budget, is that going to get us success at the top and in the CL? We get linked with dozens of players, some exciting, some cringing, remember the Boswinga link? I was drooling, "Too expensive" said our leader of men, so Chelsea snapped up the class act. Will that go on? I fear it will, believe rumours at you own risk. |

... keef....wher you get thise figures from for Carew OS has his stats as follows 9 league appearances (9 of those as a sub or subbed) 7 goals total appearances 16 and scored 11 goals now if they are correct, thats a bit better thab Heskey |

... Τρυ τηρ Γρεεκ κευβοαρδ Translated as; try the Greek keyboard If past experience is anything to go by we are inn for some frugal times at VP. I believe that RL will allow very little money for player purchases for a year or two. MoN may even be required to sell first team players to raise money for transfers in. I am suggesting that we may need to cash in on Ash, GB and even possibly Gabby to be able to continue building a team. Ok, ok, I know, Ash is our best player and how can selling him be part of building. Look at it this way; we get £35mn for Ash, we buy a winger for £12mn (as good as JM then), we buy a striker for £12mn, we buy two midfielders for £6mn each - cost; £1mn plus additional wages. Result; team is being built. No one wants to see us shedding our best players voluntarily, but if we don't give Ash CL foooty he's gonna do a Gareth and want out to ManU or summat. Whatever happens in the next couple of years we had bettter be prepared for some shortening of purse strings. |

... ginger, I agree, how can our fans boo Gabby? Or at least cheer when he was subbed last weekend. We've got to be right behind them, they do draw strength from us. Some people have said that Gabby struts a bit when he scores - well he has a bloody right to, I like his attitude, he's a winner. He just needs to get his scoring boots back on. |

... To be fair Damian we do deserve a resonse. If ole have had an agreement with you and paid you $60,000 then it's only fair we get a rebuttle to the comment ole have made about you. After all it is us fans that have made you all that money...! If it was not for us then that blog would not have survived and a few of us stayed loyal to that blog and especially the forum. We deserve a better response and not having our posts deleted. My post was not offensive and did not break any blog rules. Is this a dictatorship now Damian. |
Damian
said:

... AA First I did not delete your comment, just a link. If you want me to make linking to OleOle is not allowed a rule - then it is. It´s not a dictatorship and you know that. As for you deserving a response, you actually don´t. I´m not going to wash my dirty linen in public. I said what I had to say on the first day. I will say this though, as it has changed slightly; I did instigate the transfer of the domain name - they have all the authorisation codes and it was before I was made aware that the agreement was terminated. |

... AA stop playin devils advocate. There are two sides to every story. If yu read the original post of this blog, which I have no doubt yu have, then you will see Damian's side of the story. I've read OleOles side of the story and there seems something fishy. With that said I probably have some biased because I was introduced to OleOle through Damian and as such I know where my loyalty lies. As far as I'm concerned so long as Damian keeps blogging here then I will follow him. It is a shame what happened with OleOle. As I said there are two sides to every story and whoever yu decide to believe is entirely up to yu. I think OleOle shouldn't have put prices up. That's pushing the lines for me and I don't care how much Damian was supposed to get paid. At the end of the day it's not our business. I'd like to know what 'really' happened to AA but with that said, I'm not demanding an explanation nor do I deserve one if Damian chooses to keep it private. Keep up the goodwork Damo! |

... Cheers Ramonicus We are going to do our best, but they have a five year lead on us now! AA I don´t mean to be disrespectful, but my business is my business and while what they´ve written is probably a rebuttal to what I wrote, this doesn´t need to back and forth. |
Ramon Maklouf
said:

... Damo, they have a five year lead on you this is true. But they have a five year lead using your own work! You know what you wrote, where yu stand and more importantly where the people who follow you stand. At the end of the day they lack the know-how and I don't think yu have anything to worry about. Quality doesn't come overnight. You will continue to reap the benefits of your hardwork. This won't happen overnight but many blogs have come and gone. They will probably hold up but at the end of the day which do you prefer? The original or the reproduction? Btw Damo, is there any way I can deactivate the email notifications? They're clogging up my inbox to say the least! |

I thought if it was if i kept this page open because it was saying there has been a comment left on a article yu are viewing but I woke up this morning and had like 40emails for here.

... My god...Get a room you two! '...the people who follow you...' Whats all that about Ramon? Since when did Damian become the leader of a religious sect..? All I asked for was a rebuttle to what was said on the AVFCBlog by Douglas Knittle. At the end of the day I will be right behind Damian if he is right, but if there is truth in Knittles version then I'll stay with the AVFCBlog. Ramon, you and some others may want to blindly follow Damian to this blog, but it's people that blindly follow, that end up getting used..! (not that I'm saying you are at this stage Ramon?) It's the people that post on the blog that make it, not the blogger alone. If ole ole have done nothing wrong then why leave it, just because Damian has said he has been locked out and started another blog. You mention the original blog keeps going. Well the original blog did not, because it moved to oleole over six months ago, so it got sold out did'nt it? I'm not playing devils advocate Ramon, I'm just seeking what the truth is, because we have two different versions. So shut your mouth until you know what the facts are. What have I done to you? But if you want a debate I'm more that happy to give you one. Don't bother though, because it will be a waste of your time..! |
Damian
said:
|
... AA The facts are as I posted on the first day and above. On the day this site went live I had not instigated the domain transfer, however I did very soon after (edit: or it might have been before - I´d have to check). My agreement did not say anything about me not being able to set up another blog. The first I learned of this agreement been terminated was about three hours ago when someone pointed me to the post. You can believe who you want to believe, I for one am not impressed with that post from Doug Knittle and I suspect others wont be either, but that is just my opinion. Note this though; the first I heard of it was tonight. My last email to OleOle, apart from one tonight that was sent after that went up and my first post on this site said I was committed to OleOle - clearly something else happened and this is the last time I am going to comment on this subject. Really. |
Damian
said:

... AA I think, I´m not checking now as I´m in the middle of a few things, that I also stressed how it was the community that makes a site - I fully support that and like I said, I´m not checking but it might very well be in my first post. |

I notice they can't even spell your name right Damian? and fair play to you if you managed to get that wedge of cash off them for a blog followed by a couple of hundred fans, they must have been on smack or something writing that cheque out?!? I don't see why any of it concerns anyone but you and them so why they feel they need to write it all in plain view is beyond me. I'll go to the blog where the people are and the people and content are/is and as far as I can see thats here. What an odd state of affairs! |

... Ive seen Kyle Naughton play a few times. He seems to have everything needed to be a top player. But anyway with I would say at least 3 players going out we need a bunch in. Although you have to remember that guys like Delfouneso and Bannan could play a larger role as more involved squad players next season. But I think replacing Barry will be the biggest priority in the summer. Followed closely by getting a new center back. If Carew stays healthy he can get 20 a year. But who knows if him and MON have had a falling out he could be leaving. And the thought of that is giving me nightmares. |
Ramon Maklouf
said:

... I'm not blindly following AA. Difference - I've heard both sides. I didn't like what was written on the OleOle site and I think it was looking for scapegoats. It made excuses and refused to take any responsibility. Nothing was said differently to what Damian said in terms of how the arrangement was [except WHEN the trasnfer of the domain was supposed to happen] and it was a matter of interepretation. Why do yu need a rebuttle to a rebuttle anyway? Damian has given his point of view. To me, there seems to be a little lack of communication between OleOle and Damian and that's the message I got. For the record, I don't need to know what went on between them. It doesn't bother me. Yu say yu want both sides to see who is right and where yu allegiances lie AA? Well Damian has already said where he stands. And Doug Knittle has said where OleOle lie. If yu can't make up yur mind now then yu never will. If your smart enough, which from what I gather yu think yu are, then read OleOle's response then compare it with Damian's original post and compare the two. If yur going to depend on what was ''last said'' then yur not going to make up your mind. Yur obivously a fan of Damian AA. So why start trouble? Yu want answers? What is it too yu what went on between OleOle and Damo? All yu need to know is Damian doesn't blog there. For the record, I probably will check out AVFC Blog to see the content to put up. I have nothing to lose. Damian has never told anyone to stop using OleOle. He has just banned any links to them. fair enuf. At the end of the day, they have 5yrs of his hardwork. Leader of a religious sect? HA you're funny AA. No really. Upload some youtube videos of your comedic genius. Funny how you said ''we'' earnt Damo that money therefore we deserve an explanation. Yu therefore FOLLOW what Damian writes. Yu therefore know his viewpoints on certain things [ie: Milner, 451] and he knows yours. Yu also say that bloggers make up a blog as much as the original writer. Teapot meet Kettle. And don't tell me to shut my mouth.. I'm entitled to my opinon as much as you are. You haven't done anything to me AA. But there is a time and place for such arguements and if Damian says he doesn't wannr talk about it, you should respect his decision. You want things to ge messy by all means go for it. Why don't yu create yur own blog and let someone buy it off yu then fuck yu around? Or fuck em around and see if yu wannr talk about it? I'm not saying Damian is right or wrong, I'm saying that what was said by OleOle was probably overboard. Yu wannr debate AA? I just ripped every arguement yu made. Please it's not wasting my time. This is what I do for a living AA. |

I don't appreciate being told to shut my mouth either. If you really want to continue this AA I will send you my email and you can email me. There is a time and place. |

... Ha Ha I like all these kick off's between AA and Damian. Very good. Ok so I think AA has a point in wanting to know what happened but come on do any of us actually really give a toss? The only thing that has changed for me is the address in type in when I turn the computer on.. We have still got the sweden based Villain talking about the lions on a daily basis then going on the lash.. What more do we need?! |

... I just had a look on the old blog its some gimp talking who obviously knows nothing about football and more importantly Aston Villa. Oh and guess how many comments there are so far.... a big fat 0. Think there's only going to be one winner in this blog feud! |

... Ramonicus... What do you for a living.... Arse licking..?? I work for a law firm in Stockholm and i can tell you Ole Ole would have had legal advice before putting that post on the old blog. The information it gives tells is everything about the contract and the finance... it wouldnt be put up without the backing of the law..! |

... No more baiting please. As fas as I'm concerned now this matter is closed on here. I've added something to the bottom of the original post, just so I don't have to comment on it again. Any more comments or baiting on the back of this will result in this page getting locked. But well done AA for getting it all started, but I suspect he is in bed now too. |

... I'm not about to comment on you or O****e Damian, I just want to add a bit about running a site. I've been running a Villa forum for a few years, it's about to close, but believe me it's a nightmare, I made no cash out of it, but put some in to try and keep it afloat, didn't work, so if anyone can make any money at all from doing this sort of thing, good luck to them, I'd want a million ££'s to even consider running a forum again. Hope this doesn't get the page locked ;-) |
