The 1st 2 lists are a disgrace. How are we suppose to push to europe with sean scannell,kevin doyle etc… did you miss the bit about 100 million>?
My expenditure comes into 66 million and look at the quality there. Also very reasonable targets. AND we’ve already got sidewell and agreed a deal with guzan!!!!

Keep Barry! he probably doesnt deserve to play for ouyr club after his NOTW outburst, but make him apologise then convince him of our ambition with the signings above! liverpool won’t come up with the money anyway, and i dont think arsenal is seriously considering him, wenger will want someone young and foreign. and plus Barry will help push us forward, even if it is off the bench haha

JONARD - “3rd highest goalscorer in the bundesliga!,”
He’s shit, old and we don’t need him.
Gibbons the hoop - “Villa-till-I-die Buffon is worth bout 25m not 8m”
no no no no no. Buffon? 25m? Are you in a k hole?
villa-til-I-Die - July 19th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Gibbons - I dont even think Fergusson would pay 25 m for Buffon. But maybe you’re right - he’s worth more than 8, but maybe you’d get him for 15. depends how many years you would get out of him as he’s 30. But look at Friedel.
Villan 34° South - July 28th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Brad Friedel is a good pair of hands but at 37 a bit of a risk. I was always a fan of Sorenson. Why do we have to keep losing our best players when we are doing so well in the league? It’s goalscorers we need. Splash out and spend some cash - it will be returned within two years.
