I added the transfer rumour page for a little light relief over the summer, but then gave it even less attention than it was due because of the World Cup. Let’s face it, whatever I’ve missed over the last few weeks has hardly come to fruition yet.
I was just having a quick nose around to see if there was anything interesting doing the rounds and I stumbled on this little nugget from the ever reliable Daily Mail:-
I know, not
Don’t call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear
And the most tenuous headline award goes to…
Sorry about that. In case you weren’t aware, Freddie Bouma played his first game in an awful long time last night, running out for the reserves in a 3-1 win over visiting Chelsea. Coincidentally, he made his first comeback from the dislocated ankle in this same fixture last season, but later suffered the heartbreak of the
As I wasn’t really expecting much today this wasn’t planned, but a few names are being thrown around in connection with Aston Villa today, so I figured we could use Twitter to keep us up to speed.
Below the fold you’ll find a widget for anyone who is interesting at the moment. Michael Owen and Nicky Shorey being the prime examples right now. If I spot anything else interesting on Twitter, I’ll drag it in here to share.
Don’t forget that
As suspected, Craig Gardner has completed his move to Birmingham City for £3.5m joining fellow ex-Villan Liam Ridgewell. Best of luck Craig and cheerio. I’ve updated the Transfers Page.
You’ve probably seen by now that Marlon Harewood has broken a metatarsal and will be out for 3 months which scuppers any loan or permanent deals that may have completed this month. Marlon’s contract is up in the summer, so I guess we’ll take care of him until then and then he’ll
Martin O’Neill has revealed that he’s not looking to bring in any new faces during January and is equally uninterested in selling anyone from his current squad. So, if salivating over potential new signings in your bag, what’s left to speculate about?
And in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… ‘Aston Villa haven’t got any money!! Randy Lerner isn’t “investing” enough money into the club.’
Call me a cynic, call me clairvoyant if you like, but should MON prove true to his latest
It’s been kicking around for a while now, but I’ve been unable to shoe in the news that Ciaran Clark has signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract at Aston Villa.
Ciaran’s a quality prospect, but having just turned 20 he’s very much the baby of our centre back line-up. However, he’s the captain of the reserve side and has also won his first England Under-21 call up recently. He’s looked extremely comfortable when called upon, but is benefiting from training
It must be a sign of the strength of squad depth that Aston Villa can now boast so many decent players out on loan. It shouldn’t be any great surprise that Nicky Shorey has become the latest to get a short term move away by joining Nottingham Forest until Christmas. I hope it works out for him, he deserves to get some competitive football under his belt.
I’m sure he’s equally frustrated, and it’s something that isn’t difficult to
Stephen Warnock has been at Villa since the end of August, making his debut in the 1-0 victory over City on September 13th, and in that time he’s made the left back position his own, winning himself a call up to Fabio Capello’s England squad to face Brazil.
An impressive performance for the player who holds the record for the least number of minutes played for Enlgand – 6 minutes against Trinidad & Tobago in May 2008. Warnock himself credits

Freaky!!
