theboyangel Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The Egyptian lad has been you-tubed! It appears he's a midfielder/forward who actually is willing to take on players and shoot!!! He's the montage - Aboutrieka I know montages can easily make any player look good but he's supposedly hot property in African football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 SkySports said: Adrian Boothroyd has rejected bids for Ashley Young, but insists Tottenham have not made an offer for the Watford winger. Young has been among Watford's most impressive performers since the club secured promotion to the top flight. Though The Hornets are bottom of the Premiership, Young's displays have caught the eye of several bigger clubs. Reports have claimed that Spurs will look to lure the England Under 21 international to White Hart Lane in January. Boothroyd refuted those rumours, but the Watford boss confirmed he has knocked back offers from other clubs. "Spurs have not made any bids," stated Boothroyd. "I have had bids from other clubs and I have rejected them. "Ashley is a key part of what we want to do here." Young recently revealed he would be happy to stay at Vicarage Road, even if the club are relegated back to the Championship at the end of the season clicky Do you think that we made a bid for Young???? Good Addition?? Look at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFart Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I quoted a similiar story about this a few days ago and nobody took an interest in it....... :cry: :notsure: :? No doubt JC thought it would get more attention by opening a separate thread for it. So now he's probably guilty of: a) pinching your story and using it under his own name setting a bad example to other posters c) a lot of other bad things too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANNY_DYER Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 What about defoe? After what Defoes done for Spurs recently, especialy against us ! I have thought they'd be a riot at White Hart Lane if they let him go. Apparently Keane wants to come to Villa and this was THE red hot rumour last month but not sure how bad his knee injury is ???

I seem to remember some quotes from keane earlier this season before we played spurs at Villa Park where he was singing O'Neill's praises. I hope he wants to come and that we sign him also as i think he is class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that would be hugely underwhelming I recall similar doubts being raised when Ron Saunders signed Peter Withe and I was among them. :oops: But, he turned out to be the final piece in the jigsaw back then and who knows Marlon might be one of the pieces Martin sees us needing now. If he does, I will back his judgement. OK I would prefer us to go for Villa from Valencia, but that is not going to happen in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandysVilla Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 On skysports a couple of bids are in for Lucas Neill do u think we cud be one of them,also on there in the transfere part , a blues fan has heard Matthew Upson is on his way .

John Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 BBC Football report that Spurs & Manchester United have had bids turned down by Southampton for Gareth Bale. Newcastle, Arsenal & Liverpool have also been reported as having made inquiries. Is he waiting for Chelsea or us? But, I hope we can follow Spurs lead and sign some good young players like Barnes at Derby, if not Bale who have real potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 a blues fan has heard Matthew Upson is on his way That would be a real blow to the Noses RandysVilla, so I can't see them selling him to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcinwales Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Have we signed anyone yet ? Obviously 4 weeks in January might not be enough time to bring in any decent players, Harewood excluded of course Beckham at Villa what a waste of a good rumour, Defoe, and Keane were bad enough SWP even but Beckham, we need players who can play in defensive point grabbing formations, accept high balls all day long, left wingers who can play at right back, left backs who can play as centre forwards surely, although his free kick expertise would certainly be an asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us obviously, why join the second top club in the Prem, in the top part of the country on the best wages when he can come and play for Martin, no contest.

Denis_B Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Perhaps he may think a manager like O'Neill will give him a chance to play and develop and not get wasted like SWP etc that have been wasted at Chelski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
