Cheerio, Cheerio, Cheerio

A few days have passed now and the initial shock of Martin leaving has set in and we begin the thinking process while we wait for official words from the club.  It is unfortunate that so close to kick off that we have no manager to run our club.  I can’t say that I blame MON for wanting out of Villa as I reflect back on a few things that have occurred recently.

A New Chapter in the Book of Villa

Of course I was absolutely shocked at first. In my mind, if Martin O Neil was to ever leave the club, it would be Lerner who let him go, not O Neil leaving on his own.

Parker, Barnetta and Eduardo

With the World Cup over for our country once again after the national disgrase they called the England football team lay down and died against the Germans the rumours are back in full force.

Despite West Ham declaring that all there players have a price except Scott Parker apparently we are ready to test there resolve by making a £10 million bid for the England International.

Parker, in my opinion is a fantastic player and one I wish we took full advantage of when he left Chelsea but I think the greedy Hammers owners will demand to much for a player reaching the later years of his career.

Tranquillo Barnetta

Tranquillo Barnetta is a Switzerland international who played a big part in the Switz World Cup Campaign even though they were sent packing in the group stages.

I don’t know a lot about the midfielder except that he’s 25 years old and that he helped Bayer Levukusen to a fantastic early season run last season – courtesy of Wikipedia of course.

Apparently we will make a £4million offer for the player, which does sound like the kind of cash Martin O’Neill likes to splash around but he doesn’t have the British pedigree that he tends to go for.

Eduardo

Now we was linked with Eduardo earlier in the summer and over the past few days the rumour has come back from nowhere with Talksport announcing it yesterday.

There is no doubt he is a quality player but I’m pretty sure a lot was made about songs sung about him at the Emirates by Villa fans when he broke his leg which would make me question why he would have any interest in signing for Villa at all?

Never the less despite him not regaining the form he had before his injury I still think he could be a fantastic player with a new club and a fresh start so I would welcome the move.

The World Cup, Prediction League and Transfer Rumours..

With the World Cup just a matter of days away now there isn’t much football talk relating to Aston Villa at the moment because as you would expect its more about the biggest sports competition on the planet.

Incase you wasnt already aware we will be covering games on Avillafan.com that features Aston Villa players so this place will still be active.

Transfer Rumours

As I already stated there isn’t a lot to write about on this front. We have been linked with a possible move for Martin Petrov who has been released from his contract at Man City – a player I wouldn’t mind being given a short term contract.

‘Arry Redknapp is reportedly willing to offer around £10million and Robbie Keane to take Gabby Agbonlahor of us which I don’t think will be happening any time soon seeing as Gabby is one of O’Neill’s golden boys.

England v Allstars

James Milner, Stephen Warnock and Emile Heskey all featured in Englands 3-0 victory over local South African side Platinum Allstars yesterday afternoon.

All three played the second half and now many believe Heskey will be the player to start along side Wayne Rooney against the USA on Saturday.

England’s goals come from Jermaine Defoe, Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney.
