Dunne Fee to Villa Agreed ?

The Daily Mail are reporting that we have agreed a fee of £6m for Richard Dunne of Man City after Lescott deal was done. Really hope this is true as he offers experience and quality at the back and is a natural leader at the back which we need. However the Daily Mail’s record is [...]

Distin hands in transfer request and possible bid

The Sun is reporting today that Slyvain Distin has handed in a transfer request at Portsmouth. This will come as no surprise to anyone, because we know Distin has to move for his last big pay day and his career. I said before he had agreed to joined us two months ago but Pompey refused [...]

Liverpool 1 Aston Villa 3 – What a result

Well what can you say about that We were in our worse ever run I can remember, we seemed to be self imploding amongst ourselves and the fans and yet produce THAT performance This will do immense good to our confidence and self belief and hopefully shut up some of the moaners and whingers who [...]

Liverpool preview and 8 days to go

Well just over 8 days to go until the transfer window closes and whilst it appears we are close to signing up Warnock, even I am a little worried at the centre back issue. I don’t think any Villa fan can quite understand why we sold Knight with no immediate replacement and then we see [...]

Warnock to Villa this weekend

News came from Radio 5 earlier that Stephen Warnock has bee left out of Blackburn’s sqaud for todays game. This follows on the back of news overnightthat we have agreed a deal for Warnock for the left back position as I think it is clear that Bouma is not expected back and we have been [...]

Rapid Vienna vs Aston Villa – 1-0 – Full Time

20:06 – Full time 1-0 defeat and I think we played well without creating anything of note 19:52 – even game now and Lowry on for Davies for his full debut 19:40 – Good save by guzan from a breakaway 19:38 – Pressure pilling on the pressure now, Young just over from a free kick [...]

Distin move closer ?

Remember I posted back on the 1st July that I had information that Sylvain Disitin’s move was close ? Well the Times today are reporting with Liverpool having brought a Greek defender and that Lescott will move to Man City it now leaves the field open for us to get Distin, as Pompey can no [...]

I would welcome Upson as he fulfulls the requirements of a dominating centre back and is left footed Skysports.com understands Aston Villa have launched a bid for West Ham defender Matt Upson. Villa are in the market [...]

This week and anger

I have hated this week. Ok the result on Saturday needs no further debate but the reaction I have seen from some people on the forums, Villatalk, Vital and H&V is disgusting. Any old rumour is being peddled as truth and used to smear MON with, we even have people on vital Villa saying it [...]
