Charlton Rumours

LIKELY
Wordsworth - In contract discussions already. Fee agreed.
Nunez - Transfer listed by Leeds. No fee agreed as of yet but CP big admirer of him.
Baldock - Between Charlton and Ipswitch for this young striker, however the temptation of no relocation could sway Baldock to cafc.
Quinn - Sheffield United centre midfielder. CP looks to add this good passer to bolster the Charlton squad (If this fails for some reason, Charlton could turn to Gleeson)

POSSIBLE/AMBITIOUS
Ward - Pompey RB thought to be a good addition to the squad but doubtful whether he would choose the Addicks and worth 500k+ to be second choice to Solly.
Antonio - Unlikely but looking to steal the pacey winger from under the noses of Sheffield Wednesday.
Powell - From MK Dons. Player and Charlton both keen for the move but fee might not be agreed between the clubs. Still a long way to go but possible.
Sterling - Loaned through Liverpool. Arranged through clause of Jonjo Shelvey deal. Not certain but Powell looking to inject pace on the wings into his team.

Main improvements to the addicks look to be in attacking positions, with only cover being added for the defence. New GK expected to join up with the squad this summer too.

28 May 2012 17:55:06
if nick powell form crewe goes to man utd for 8 million suppsely he will be loaned straight back out to hull city

Brett Pitman. Please RFC need a proven goal scorer at the highest level. Where is our ambition! Brett score 7 or 8 goals last year so might as well keep Simon Church!

28 May 2012 15:26:05
Is it just me or do barnsley fans agree that keith hill could not land a trout never mind a player. As our recent snubs will bore out.

Dont be suprised if Sir Alex Ferguson has a sniff at Craig Gordon. He's Scottish, free and a very good goalie.

Hes going to celtic

28 May 2012 13:55:29
Burnley have already began to look at players to sign with the £7+million pounds from the Jay rod sale

Ins
CB - Jason shackell - from derby for £3million
CM - Jacob mellis - free agent after being released from Chelsea for smoke grenade incident
ST - Lewis grabban - from Rotherham united for 800k
ST - Joe Jackson - from norwich for £1.1million
GK - Alex smithies - from Huddersfield for 900k
CM - Lee Lucas - Swansea for 400k

This adds up to £6.2million with the rest being stored in the bank for January

Lol shackell 3mill rip off useless

28 May 2012 10:21:35
This is how I would have the united team for next season.

GK - De gea and linderguard to battle it out for number 1 spot....Kuzcuak and Amos sold...Butland in and loaned straight out

Rb - If people are ok with pushing Jones towards becoming a right back then I think this spot should be for Jones and Rafeal to battle for. If people aren't ok possibly purchase Van Der Wiel

Cb - Hummels in...vidic and hummels first choice partnership... Ferdinand and Evans on bench...Smalling loaned out for experience

Lb - first choice signing would always be Alba but when we fail (dont even make an attempt) to get him we will most likely get Baines...Baines and evra to fight for that spot... Fabio out on loan... Should also look at some young prospects for the future as in jetro williems

Cdm - currently we don't really have a player who plays this role but I think we should get someone to help control the game aswell as support the back line...My choice would be either Strootman, Martinez or m'villa and then also look at youth to learn from them and eventually fight for the spot....Scholes and Carrick also able to drop to this spot for support

Rm/Rw + Lm/Lw - Currently I think that Valencia (only right) young and Nani are playing excellent... I think Valencia and Nani to fight for the right (must give nani more playing time)...Bring Hazard in and have Hazard and young fight for the left with nani and young able to switch sides

Cm/Cam - Fletcher may now become abit of a liability so I'm unaware with that one...I think Anderson should be loaned out (in the premier league still)...look to bring in 1 (or 2 if we raise enough money) Kagawa (close to been done) gotze, eriksen (both look to be staying put another year) Lucas moura (looks expensive) kroos, Ganso....Cleverly to fight for this spot with whomever comes in... Park on bench (make a lot of money from him)...giggs to retire and move to a coaching role like scholes did

St - Owen has gone, berbatov looks to be going, everyone is saying lewandawis (excuse spelling) from Dortmund but I think if anyone we should go for Doumbia from CSKA then we could have 2 fast, goal hungry power houses in him and Rooney and 2 speedy goal grabbers in Hernandez and welbeck...Macheda loaned out to a team that play him to see if he shines if not sell him

4 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 1 formation

It may cost a fair bit due to around 6 high quality signings but if it was done wouldn't you expect city to fear us again

Aston Villa FC (More than just a Wishlist!, some more likley than others)
At some point this week..as long as Financial Guarantess are assusred by RL/PF (True footballing people & Ball Passing/atttacking players with Steel determination & individual character irrespective of youth or maturity)

In Favoured Order

Managers In:AVB/OGS-not concluded/Capello/Poyet/Hoddle/Rodgers

Assistants In:Zola/Wilkins/S.Clarke

Director of Fooball:Although not previusly wanted -F.Arnesen/Houllier

Players In:Lukaku/Carrol/Balotelli/M.Richards/N.Redmond/Dembelle/Ince/Dunk/Lindergard/Theo.W/A.Ramsey

Players Out:Gabby/Nzogbia/Dunne/Warnock/Hutton/Delph/Makoun/Given

1st 11 Youth to be built around:Carruthers/Bannan/Clarke/Herd/Redmond- if bought

I then predict for 2012-13 season the New Villa Fc will be Virbant/Attacking/Determined/Unpredicatable/Passionate/Unlrelenting/Peak Fitness

This will definatley happen if Randy still has the belief in AVFC success, we do need a project of Innovation/Vibrancy and to distroy the dogtag of a feeder club, get rid of deadwood thru out the club, including fitness coaches/striking coaches/defensive coaches as average or just ok, never exceeds expectation in football/business or competes with innovative ever improving rivals.

#Randy YES YOU CAN, Be Prepared!!

Law - Villa all day every day!!

Dont talk pish never going to happen

Absolute tripe !! how deluded.
