Comments for Carew to Porto and Bosingwa to Villa? at http://www.avfcblog.com , comment 1 to 44 out of 20 comments http://www.avfcblog.com Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:16:04 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10037 One day to go - Carew's not going - Defoe's not coming. MON will be spending tonight and tomorrow in a last ditch attempt for a Right Back. My money - he'll continue his English-only strategy and try to get Glen Johnson - Goldfinger Fri, 31 Aug 2007 03:59:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10032 Blog speculation at it's worst. Not even loosely based on a recent article. MON thinks the world of Carew and there's not a chance of him going anywhere. And with the purse strings seemingly removed from the purse, there's no need to entice feeder clubs with our few genuine stars. - BOF Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:21:13 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10031 A name im surprised we havent been linked with is Adriano, was quality a few seasons ago, but was poorlast season, but wants to leave inter and has one hell of a strike on him, i wouldnt complain if we made an appraoch for him although i read its likely to west spam who get him. On the Defoe front i dontthink this will happen either, I am a massive fan of his and think he is probably the best consistent english striker and i dont understad why he doesnt play. If he cam to villa hewould be guaranteed first team football and could see him putting away 20 a season. And i dont think we should sell Carew either. a great target man who, whenfit, is a big asset to the team - mike_roberts Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:07:39 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10025 Carew lately not been at his best, looks unfit. Once he regains his full fitness there is no question he is a huge asset to our team playing with a smaller striker, god please let it be defoe! Those two together are the ideal strike partnership to compliment each other .... lets just wait and see, i have faith in MON to deliver the goods - Claridge Thu, 30 Aug 2007 20:29:07 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10021 if we sell carew we wont get europe for sure!!!!!!!! - JJ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 19:32:15 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10017 Villa Dave, Defoe scored 18 last season while not even playing week in week out, twice as much as out top scorer, I would pay 15-18 million to get him. - #1Villan Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:55:54 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10016 Don't sell Carew. Please, don't do it. - Villain from Texas Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:51:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10015 WOuldn't want to sell Carew he is quality and will be one of the only players who has experience of european football for next season. I just have a feeling that the RB situation might force the hand and in all fairness Porto are in Champs League and its better weather too!!! Come on MON, Davies in by 10pm, Heskey to follow overnight, Boswingwa by Friday 5pm followed by Glen Johnson, Routledge and finally SHAUN WRIGHT PHILLIPS!!!!!!!!!! all by 00.01 01.09.07. - Dai74 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:34:59 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10010 You are all bloody mad, Why sell Carew?.Mr Lerner promised to fund Martin O'Neills plans for January and this transfer window.Either he hasnt done his part or Martin has struggled to attract the players he wanted.IF M'ON can attract players like carew and curtis davis(maybe) then why cant he attract the likes of boswinga and defoe?.Defoe at VP is garanteed first team football, He'll be the first name on the list.So keep Luke Moore as a 3rd striker, Defoe and Carew upfront with ashley on the left, gabby(with his pace to burn) on the right and Barry and Reo-coker in the centre.Im praying to the forever faithful Villa god that davis, defoe and a DECENT right back, sign tonight or tomorrow before 12.00.00am. oh by the way, The sporting lisbon vs porto game Boswinga was dreadful.[b][/b] - Cunnilingus85 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 16:59:56 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10008 Even if Defoe comes we need Carew to support him. Man Utd might use just pacey strikers but MON is definetly a 'big man-little man' kind of manager for attacking. However, we need to stop lobbing the ball at Carew in games, he's even said he prefers the ball to his feet since he can pass and dribble as good as he can head or in our case, have the ball kicked at his face and bounce to a teamate. - Dizzy Mugs Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:59:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-10006 No way, no more selling at all this season please. - Dizzy Mugs Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:56:10 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9998 £15M for Peter Crouch would be my target. He can score goals, but he also creates so many free kicks, flick-ons, takes defenders out at corners, comes back and defends well, lays the ball off well and is always 100% heart and has said that he would like to come back one day. The only reason some people don't seem to like him is because he can be clumsy and he's misses some right sitters at times. But the fact, he keeps getting back up and trying means he's worth his weight in gold and he's still young. We made a big error selling him but I think a high bid would bring him back. - stuartstech Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:22:55 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9997 Villa Dave is spot on with his verdict on Defoe. There is a lot of fans who just want to see Villa spend more than Spurs, West Ham and Pompey, regardless of a players lack of finishing ability - meangene Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:09:55 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9995 As I said a couple of hours ago, Wigan have just bought a striker from Holland, Vassell may also be on his way there, get ready for Heskey to appear at the training ground v.v. shortly!!!! That will mean Carew to Porto and Boswingwa the other way!!! COME ON ITS ALL HAPPENING NOW!!!!!!!!!! - Dai74 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:53:18 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9990 Villa.Dave you must be tripping? Last season he scored something like 8 in 10 from the bench. Check this: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jermain_Defoe[/url] - Luke Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:37:05 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9988 Carew is a spartan, we need him at the club. I'd like to see Defoe in and would be happy to even lose Moore to get him. Ashley obviously has to stay, although I'd say Gabby is a fringe player at the moment as I haven't seen one good ball from him yet this season - lots of pace with no finishing ability so he could go for all I care. Defoe is class, nothing short, stick him in the box and he'll bang em in. I know we have some talent up front, but apart from Ashley we don't have anyone with a truly class finish. Defoe alongside big strong Carew as a holding player is what we need. - Si Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:33:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9985 Villa.Dave are u taking the p*ss??? Have you ever seen Defoe? He is better than all our strikers put together - The Cas Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:22:19 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9978 We can't let Carew go without suitable replacement. Same goes for any player now. The squads too small as it is to beletting any players go. - merlin1 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:06:07 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9977 Its just been anounced as breaking news on Sky that Davies has been given permission to speak to Villa (2.30) - remolds Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:03:37 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1922/70/#comment-9964 Carew is a better player than Defoe. He is twice the target man Crouch is. Benitez slapped a £15mn price on Crouch, Rafa is a masterfull coach he knows how important having the options Crouch brings is to Liverpool. With Carew it is not all about his chances to goals ratio, it is also about the assists and work, and keeping two defenders off his strike partner. Defoe is very far from being a 1 goal for every 3 chances striker - meangene Thu, 30 Aug 2007 13:27:37 +0100
