If this happens, I think I'd start to believe every rumour ever written. I'd believe it if I was told we were about to make a double swoop for Rooney and Ronaldo and probably tell people too.

I'd even go so far as to say that if this happened I'd cut off all my hair and give up alcohol for a month. This is as likely to happen as Martin O'Neill will ever sign a player in the first week of a transfer window.

I'm not knocking Bolton, I'm using this as an example of why you should never believe what you read in the Mirror. Mellberg isn't stupid; he knows what Bolton is all about and if he wanted to know more reasons why he shouldn't sign he could always ring Smiler or Samuel.

I'd put money on a deal already done for Mellberg to leave and play in Italy at the end of the season and I just couldn't see him going to a smaller team than us - not when he could stay.

Not unless Bolton are offering huge amounts of cash and I think it would have to be really huge to tempt a player with the option of Juventus.

Perhaps he fancies playing in europe which is highly unlikely at the villa.

Mellberg to Bolton or Juve? Now what would i do? Bloody difficult decision that one.Villa would have more chance of signing Kaka than Bolton signing Mellberg!This one is hilarious.

I also noticed in the Mirror that when talking about Sorenson unhappy with the 500k price tag, there was a picture of Preston's badge, not Villa's. They're real clever over in the error-checking department.

Yes Damien, it is stupid - nearly as stupid as you suggesting that we should pay £22 million for a right back!

It could happen if Villa dont offer him a wedge to stay , if hes going for nowt in the summer Villa will take £1.5 million now he could then get a clause in his contract to say that if someone like Juve come in for him , he can go for say £2 million at the end of the season .He could play a part in keeping Bolton up & go in the summer .Its not THAT laughable .
