Is Gabriel Agbonlahor on his way to Arsenal

Gabriel Agbonlahor is an interesting choice for Arsenal, it’s not too much of a stretch to see him in an Arsenal side. He’s fast, fairly skillful and knows how to pass. What’s intriguing about this rumour is that the transfer is based on Agbonlahor improving his [...]

Richard Dunne to Aston Villa

Friday, 08. 14. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Premier League

The Express seems to think that Villa are interested in Richard ‘Big Bum’ Dunne, as a replacement for the formerly excellent Martin Laursen. If we were to go on Dunne’s form of 2 years ago, this would be an excellent and eminently sensible decision. However it’s not, and since the arrival of Sparky [...]

Ashley Young to Chelsea : Update 1

Friday, 07. 17. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Chelsea, Premier League

We’ve covered this before, but there seems to be some new action, now Villa are willing to come to the party, but they’re demanding a £25 million appearance fee.  The fee seems about right, factoring in Young’s inconsistency as a cost reduction and his English heritage as a massive cost increase.  Chelsea also have the [...]

Aston Villa Summer 2009 Transfer Window Preview

Friday, 06. 19. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Premier League

What they need
With Martin Laursen forced to retire due to a knee injury, Villa are in desparate need of a commanding centre half to lead their back line. Their squad is paper thin, so they need to strengthen in ever area across the pitch. They will also need a central midfielder to replace [...]

Michael Owen to Aston Villa

Monday, 06. 8. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Newcastle, Premier League

Going against conventional wisdom which states that a players value can be measured by what they contribute on the field, Aston Villa have offered the welsh midget a 2 year, £55,000 contract to bring his medical staff to Villa Park.
The hope is that he will be able to “re-ignite” his partnership with Emile Heskey,  he’d [...]

Gareth Barry to Manchester City

Tuesday, 06. 2. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Premier League

It seems that Gareth Barry is in talks, no having a medical for Manchester City. So much for realising his dream of playing in the Champions League. The repercussions of this move are likely to colour the rest of the transfer season. Firstly, it makes the Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid rumours [...]

David Bentley to Aston Villa

Thursday, 05. 28. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur

The mirror contends that Bentley could be pulling on the sky blue and claret next season at Villa park.  In an exceedingly brief article, it suggests that there could be some kind of swap deal mooted for Gareth Barry.
On the surface this is believeable.  In spite of the fact that Bentley has been rubbish since [...]

Gareth Barry to Everywhere

Tuesday, 05. 26. 2009  –  Category: AC Milan, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City, Premier League, Serie A, Tottenham Hotspur

Up until this weekend, it seemed to be a Fait Accompli that the rumours pointing Mr G. Barry in the direction of Anfield were finally coming to fruition. Sadly, it seems that this massively drawn out saga is not going to come to a close any time soon. It used to be a [...]

Brede Hangeland to Aston Villa

Monday, 05. 4. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Fulham, Premier League

Brede Hangeland didn’t have the strongest start in the Premier League, with Fernando Torres destroying him, but he’s progressed rapidly this season and has developed into one of the most consistently performing centre halves in the English Premier League. Villa’s season has lost its momentum since Martin Laursen has been out. [...]

Rafa’s Shopping Spree Special Part 4 – David Silva, Gareth Barry & Raul Albiol to Liverpool

Tuesday, 04. 28. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, La Liga, Liverpool, Premier League, Valencia

It looks like a fairly typical summer for the Reds, maybe 1 big signing in (David Silva, Fernando Torres, Robbie Keane), a couple of journeymen (Gareth Barry, Raul Albiol, Alvaro Arbeloa) and some young players that no one has ever heard from, and will never hear of again.
The other key highlight of today’s news from [...]
