Deadline day transfer gossip
The transfer window closes at 5pm this afternoon, giving Martin O’Neill very little time to secure any of the signings he (and we) was hopeful of making before the window slams closed and shuts the cold and snow outside and all the Premier League players in. The final day is rapidly becoming known for its madness and rushed deals, and also for a LOT of money changing hands.
What does this mean for Villa? Well as everyone knows; Villa are very secretive in their transfer dealings. They keep it as secret as they can and then once the deal is done, they never admit the fee, preferring to label it ‘undisclosed’. This practice resorts the press, the Villa blogs and the fans to speculate. Speculate to accumulate they say, and that’s what we wish to do. Accumulate a squad big enough and good enough to compete at the level we have recently found ourselves.
So in the last chance we’ll get before the summer, let’s dive deep into the transfer rumours and discuss who we do and don’t want at the club. Read more
Juicy transfer gossip
Considering we spent over 3 weeks to make our first big signing, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Emile Heskey was the extent of Villa’s spending in this transfer window, but would you be right?
The last few days are always a hub of activity and, with over £100m already spent, this is shaping up to be more of the same. With the rumours that are flying around, it seems that Martin O’Neill treats signings like I used to treat my English Literature homework; leave it to the very last minute.

Cup revenge date sealed and transfer window clock is ticking
Cheer up Dave, they're a great bunch of lads
After embarrassing ourselves in 2005 by losing 3-0 in the League Cup to Doncaster Rovers, we will now be facing them for a rematch on Saturday in the FA Cup 4th round. Donny last night defeated Cheltenham, by that fated scoreline after the 3rd round tie initially ended in a no-score bore-draw.
Back in the David O’Leary days, Villa travelled to Doncaster with hope of getting a decent cup run, but were totally outdone by the lower league lads, who thrashed us 3-0. It was a very different age for Villa. O’Leary was in O’Neill’s seat and the confidence he injected into the team was less than zero. He had a talent for making even the good players believe they were crap. They were a lovely group of lads though!
