cicottrell Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Barton is the closest thing to Roy Keane in the English game today and would be a huge signing for us be criminal if he went to a lesser team than us Agreed. I think 3 major signings will completely turn Villa around: ------------------------Tommy-------------------- Bardsley --- Mellberg ---- Laursen---- Bouma SWP -------- Barton ------ Petrov ------- Barry -----------------Bent---------- Moore ------------ Which leaves: ------------------- Taylor ----------------------- Hughes --- Cahill --------- Ridge ---- Samual Gabby ---- Davis -------- McCann --- NEW PLAYER --------------- Angel ---- Baros -------------------- as our backups. Ozzy and Gardener to stay of course, I think we've seen the last of Delaney, Hendrie and maybe even Sutton. If we can get SWP, Barton and Bent now, then a backup left winger, keeper and 2 strikers in the summer, things will be looking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncy_chris Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Here's some sad sad maths for you: 380 pages with 15 posts on each page, at an average post speed of 3 minutes, equals 285 hours of time spent posting in this thread alone. That's an awful lot of time people have been discussing the transfer window, and we've only managed to sign Phil Bardsley. Woopdedoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan3333b Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 If we do not bid the 5.5m for Barton i will be shocked, it will be a huge jump forward in terms on player quality and ambition... but since its Villa i wont be shocked if it does not happen! If i was MON i would be busting my balls to get players liek Barton in even if it meant paying over the odds... WENEED IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeMoore Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 i think barton must fancy a move Why else would his agent come out saying this But as he's an everton fan he'd probably choose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be proven wrong but I just don't see it, if you want a thug in the middle of the pitch then yes he is quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattley Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'd love to see Barton at Villa, £5.5million is peanuts for a player of his quality. Yah Id love to see him in our team too. Cant see him going for £5.5 mill though, thats just the fee someone would need to pay to activate the clause in his contract, I think the fee would be higher. Probably closer to £7-£8mill when you consider whats Young has been valued at!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I admit he is a bit of a thug, although I think people hold what happened with his brother agaisnt him a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be proven wrong but I just don't see it, if you want a thug in the middle of the pitch then yes he is quality. barton is far from being a thug on the pitch.hes committed and determined in his play but not a "thug". he is rarely in the papers for bad challenges or sending offs.and only in his last game he showed his sporting side by asking the ref not to give a yellow to gardner after he challenged him. 5.5 million would be a steal. unfortunately i think he will see villa as a sidestep rather than a forward one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsa Party Animal Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 To the Colombian - Send the tape / DVD about Juan Pablo Pino to Villa chief scout Ian Stoney-Moore and let him know about his quality. We could do with new generation Carlos Valderrama in our midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted January 16, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2007 Barton is valued higher than £5.5million there is no doubt about that, but because of the clause in the contract Man City would HAVE TO accept a bid for £5.5million. We could though just give a big contract to Barton, he's only on like £25-30K a week I think... I really, really, really, really want us to sign Barton; PLEASE!!! EDIT: Also just saw this on WILTORD INJURED With Lyon down a striker perhaps a renewed interest in Baros may be on the cards, and it also looks like they are resigned to losing Carew... Maybe the deal could be struck? Valued approximately the same I do believe as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
