I'll have an E

Villa will be linked with lots of players, but won't actually sign very many. Fans will be divided on whether MON should be criticised for this or whether he is still the messiah.

You heard it here first, folks!

Annoys me no end this does. I'm not kidding, we were linked with over 150 players last summer, they were counting on the avfc website. MON will buy some half decent 22/23 year old for £3m, stick him in the reserves, give him a meaningless UEFA cup game and let him hang around for years until he's any good.

If we want top 4, we NEED to buy quality.

Can we limit drunkmaster to 50 charactrers per post? No offence fella, but you go on WAY too much.
 
What sort of excuse is this? We all know Wenger rushes players back, I for one was surprised that he wasn't playing the next week. Thats what normally happens.
But he did rush him back! I mean, sure, he waited for the break to heal, got him through physiotherapy to repair the muscle, started on basic training to re-establish him before slowly progressing to more demanding routines, played him in a few reserve games, and then introduced him gradually into the first team, but after all that he totally rushed him back! Hence why he got another injury so soon. Damn you Wenger when will you learn. :mad:

Give us the options then. I only do multiple choice exams :p
a) Because Eboue is gash.
b) Because Eboue is gash.
c) Because Eboue is gash.

I think this one might a be a little more tricky! :cool:

So... don't need to guess which side of the Villa fan divide you sit on? :p

You're almost certainly right, though. :(

Although - I do have the feeling we'll see one surprising incoming transfer to B6 this summer. And then nothing until 11:55pm on deadline day, when we'll buy two defenders from the Championship and a midfielder from Burkina Faso who no-one's ever heard of...

Tottenham star considers options.

Tottenham star Darren Bent admits he will decide on his future in the coming weeks.

The England striker is the club's top-scorer this term but with Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane both returning to the club in January - Bent is far from guaranteed a starting berth.

Bent, who has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane, admits his international ambitions will play a role in his decision.

"No-one likes to sit on the bench," said the 25-year-old.

"I'll have to see what happens and take it from there. My season has been up and down.

"The end of the season is coming and we'll have to see what happens after that. I would have liked to have played more games and scored more goals.

"The manager has got decisions to make. He's got fantastic strikers and you have to bide your time.

"If you don't play for your club regularly, you won't play for England. As long as I can keep working hard and scoring goals, hopefully I'll be in there."

Bent admits he is still confident he can become a regular in the England side under Fabio Capello.

"(Wayne) Rooney is obviously the number one, and there is always a fight for the other spot," Bent admitted.

"As long as I can keep scoring goals and playing well when he's watching me, it's all I can ask for.

"Fabio is the best England manager we've had for a long time. He's told me on a personal level what he wants from me. He tells you face-to-face what he wants, which is what you need as a player."
