Comments for Mellberg to sign with Juve and Moore off to Glasgow at http://www.avfcblog.com , comment 1 to 41 out of 20 comments http://www.avfcblog.com Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:09:05 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15371 i think its best for everyone that moore goes, i as much as anyone wanted him to get a chance this year, but his hearts not in it anymore (anyone see his brother got released too)and rangers would be a great move i cant see us going for falcao, too much unlike MON, even though our position at the moment is perfect for the risk - we wouldnt depend on him to score and he'd have time to adjust - brett Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:56:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15369 What is SOTC and UTV? Why is the club website so s**t? When are we going to sign someone? - parker Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:35:53 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15362 The Falcao rumour came from 'OLE', a newspaper from South America. Let's get some wind behind this signing, he's gonna be the shit. - Arrlui Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:22:54 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15361 With the news that Olof Mellberg is set to leave at the end of the season, i think it is only fitting that we show our thanks and respect by naming the home game against m,boro on the 8.3.08 olof mellberg day. So grow you beards for this game in respect to a true villa legend. Send this email or text this message to every villa fan you know. - huggie11 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:30:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15357 ok impressive - how has the rumour come about for us to sign him? apart from the angel-river link? - pazzler Wed, 23 Jan 2008 19:57:00 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15356 think id better watch me a clip of this falcao player. - pazzler Wed, 23 Jan 2008 19:51:59 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15349 alexb you could be right but i hope ur not - mossiewalsh Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:31:37 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15345 Falcao all the way! AV33 and Melbourne have got it spot on. O'Neill is getting rid of the Dreary, no matter how much we love them. We need to press on, right? Melly, you are and always will be a legend. Thanks for a great 6/7 years and for the Freddies fight. Legend. Play us for Juve and we'll do 'em like they were a half team like Inter ;) Right back and we're set. - Arrlui Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:16:19 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15344 Apparanntly 2 other premiership clubs have enquired about marlon king from watford Whats the odds that we are one of them? Would be a typical MON signing a la Harewood, Knight, Salifou (i.e. out of the blue when things are quiet, underwhelming etc) I hope not I but wouldnt be suprised - alexb Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:50:47 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15343 owen coming would be nice,he would be one hell of an impact player coming off the bench when we are struggling for goals - ste23 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:49:21 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15342 a mate of mine has a friend who works in the athletics world as a sprinting coach. he tells me that he works with alot of premiership teams in training there players. he has told my friend as he knows he is a villa fan that he has been approached by the villa to work with us. he believes that we are trying to sign micheal owen from newcastle and for the rest of this season he will not have a first 11 place but will remain on the bench for the rest of the season and played if we need him to. the reason for this is so he can tone down the muscle he built up to overcome his injury so he can build his pace back up and return to his former glory and get into the startin 11 next season. now this is just a rumour i dont know the sprinting coach so it could be a lie but if this is true i think its a possibilty. owen doesnt like keegan because of previous england experiences and i have always had vision of owen in claret and blue. - GonzoAvfc Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:29:32 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15318 While the squad is small and we have been very fortunate with injuries, I think its time to lose the dead wood and bring in something that can add some value. Moore: 3.5 million - Heart not in it and based on recent performances can't hit a barn with a banjo. Has had some lovely chances but just can't do the business Cahill: 4 million - Likely lad who also has always come across as very determined and eager; but he dosn't want to be fourth choice at centre half, and fair enough too -> 7.5 million of 'free' money to invest in one player of talent, or ask Mr Lerner to throw a few extra pounds on top to pay over the odds to get a Crespo or someone similar here now It might seem hard to let some of the local product leave, but we did move Davis on and he's not exactly burning up the pitch @ Fulham, so if MON gives these the green light then I think he's thought long and hard about it. UTV - Melbourne Villans Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:58:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15317 ahh there is one yes mellberg but he wants to leave because of playin in europe not because he thinks martin is a bad manager Transfer window causes trouble at villa lol they should ban it - Villa_Rules Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:23:04 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15316 The ones who want out are the ones not good enough to take villa forward Luke moore scores goals in freindlys never in the leauge Cahill we can get better players than him and we do allready have better players than him Sorensen again we can do better Have you heard any of the first team complain??Nope nor me - Villa_Rules Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:20:00 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15315 Howdooo..hope everyone is ok Just thought i'd add my two bob's worth to the comments. That Falcao geezer looks like the dogs don't he?! If it's £5m thats relatively cheap in today's market so let's have him in MON...to replace Luke Moore. Carew has the obvoius understudy in the new favourite, marvellous Marlon ! But if Luke leaves, he will need replacing and this Argie bloke looks a bit spesh. If Olly goes, i wish him all the best but i'd rather he stayed with us and realised the dream he's helped to create. But if security for his family and a cushy end to his career is the plan, fair play to him. I hope Villa give him a testamonial game against Juve as part of the deal. Although we were a bit stop/start against Scouse, i think it highlighted what is right and what is wrong with our squad. Gabby and Ash look knackered, maybe some real competition purchased in the next few days might first of all give them a rest and then make them play out of their skins to regain their places. I'm sure i read on these pages during the summer that the right back deal was done for January. Who is it and where is he ? Onto the John Arne Risse thing, i can see some mileage in this. He didn't play against us the other night and isn't injured. I rate him and if you think about the philosophy of two players per position, he'd fight it out with Bouma at LB and can also play left midfield with a wicked delivery and shot on him. Before i go, got to mention MON's pre-match talk with Setanta. He slipped up big time when asked about Scott Carson. MON said that Scott is not allowed to play for his "old" club. He then looked real embarrassed and said something like "i mean the club who we have loaned him from" with a wry smile. Scotty boy is ours baby...believe me !! All the best all and UP THE VILLA ;) :D ;) - AV33 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:51:41 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15314 if cahill was that gud then he hav better teams than birmingham bolton sunderland and derby after him,id take the 4m 2b honest.not 2 worried wit mellberg leavin either cos if he really wanted 2 stay he would hav signed a deal by now so i think he no longer wants 2 play 4 villa...disappointed not to see at least 2 signings by now could hav sworn o neill said he had right back lined up at soon as window opened in january,lets b honest mellberg aint doin the business.he just boots the ball up da pitch and gets us nowhere, we need some1 2 run da flank and swing in crosses..moore aint good enuf either i think,he has had enuf changes 2 prove himself nd didnt do it.. - stevievillaa Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:47:45 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15312 I vote Falcao - Arrlui Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:28:30 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15306 i agree with jeremiah, MON seems to be getting rid of all david olearys men. hughes, McCann, davis, jp angel, baros, hendrie j lloyd samuel. all of these player were obviously willing to play week in and week out and not giving 2 fecks about the club or where it was going. now he is bringing in players that want to play and win things and most of all, win things at aston villa and under MON - Kieran McGrath Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:15:17 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15303 I've watched Falcao play for River a few times. He's a good player. You never know how guys will turn out when they reach the Premiership, but the Argentinian league is a good one, so who knows. I think MON is getting rid of O'Leary players and bringing in MON players. That's what I think of the players asking to leave or being sold. Hopefully that is something that he's almost done with, though, and we can start actually building up a squad. - Jeremiah Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:51:10 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2178/70/#comment-15302 Let Moore leave, he has no commitment to the club, is lazy and believes himself to be far better than he actually is. Harewood showed last night that he might not be the most skillful player in the world but he put in loads of effort and thoroughly deserved his goal.I would rather have Harewood than Moore any day. I think that we will see at least three players arriving next week, theres no way MON would allow these players to leave if he did not have replacements lined up and knowing him they will be far better than the ones he's allowing to leave. - DSB1 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:37:20 +0100
