So Heskey wants to leave, who can blame him? He rarely starts for Villa and its even rarer for him to actually make an input when he is playing. All this makes it unbelievable that he is still playing for England, but even still, Heskey wants a seat on that plane next summer.
In my opinion [...]

Bentley circus rolling into Villa Park?
By: Chris | 4 Comments
They called him the next David Beckham, which only raised two problems: he’s not, and he listened.
From a promising youngster with silly hair, David Bentley has gradually grown into one of the most lamented wastes of talent in English football. The Arsenal youngster (described by a Gooner mate of mine as a “silly chav who [...]

That’s right, folks – Bouma’s back!
Aston Villa left back Wilfred Bouma, by far my favourite player and one who could form part of a rock solid back four with Martin Laursen, Curtis Davies and Luke Young next season, sustained a particularly nasty dislocated ankle way back in July. He picked up the injury at Villa [...]

Hungarian midfielder Zoltan Stieber has left Villa Park for 2. Bundesliga outfit TuS Koblenz. The 20 year old moves to Germany in the season he would have been hoping to make his Premier League bow.
Stieber has fallen behind Barry Bannan in the pecking order at Aston Villa. I wish him well in the future.
Meanwhile, Villa [...]

It’s typical, vintage Villa: bugger all news in 23 days of the transfer window, and then a flurry of activity out of the blue.

Well, Villa have made their first signing of the January transfer window, securing the signature of Dutch teenager Arsenio Halfhuid.
Elsewhere? Rumour after rumour after rumour. We’re after Emile Heskey, apparently. And Craig Bellamy and Roque Santa Cruz. And Matt Upson. And Kenwyne Jones. And Roberto Canella and Aiden McGeady. It’s a list that goes on [...]

CCFCSleepingGiant.com is reporting that Cardiff City’s on-loan winger Wayne Routledge will join Queens Park Rangers from Aston Villa in January.
Routledge was signed by Martin O’Neill from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2008, Villa’s only signing of that particular window. He’s found first team opportunities hard to come by, but has played well for Villa’s reserves and [...]

Eagerly awaiting the transfer window?
Well, Aston Villa already have the wheels in motion – apparently we’re close to signing 17-year-old Dutch defender (seems he’s a centre back or right back) Arsenio Halfuid. Halfuid plays for Feyenoord and his agent, Willie Haatrecht, told Sky Sports that Villa are busting a gut to seal his signature.
But the [...]
Category: Transfer NewsHas Martin O’Neill learned transfer lesson?
By: Chris | 8 Comments
If Martin O’Neill could describe his managerial ability without resorting to the self-deprecating charm that makes him the darling of fans and the media, he’d say it is “really excellent”. And he’d be right.
But way back in July, I got a tad bit frustrated with O’Neill’s apparent refusal to strengthen his side over the summer. [...]
