he is a proven goalscorer in recent times, but i wouldnt pay more than £15m for him, even £12 would be pushing it. but £18m is the initial fee villa paid for him.. it'll rise to £26m depending upon appearances.
So far villa have bought:
Makoun for £6m + £2.5m depending on appearances
Bent for £18m + £8m depending on appearances
initial fees paid: £24m
add-ons: £10.5m
those add-ons will hit us hard if they dont perform well. that could be two decent players worth or one quality player. but im staying positive now, hoping for the best. i think downing might be moved into the centre, unless houllier opts for three up front. and competition is hotting up for the central midfield with petrov, clark, bannan, makoun, ireland, reo-coker and possibly downing. if downing isnt moved into the centre then that means either one of him, agbonlahor or albrighton would start on the bench... and i think that'd be a mistake.

crazy.. i know.
i thought i mentioned bent not breaking into the england squad. we paid so much for someone whos barely an international. i did make that point with my friends however.. all true.
carew looks like he's heading to stoke on loan. villa's main priority of course is to stay up, but i would say a top half finish can be realistic if we pull some good results together and stop leaking goals.
babel looks like he might leave then. getting suarez would be a good move.

that was a really good display by Liverpool earlier. was a big change from what has went before this season.
i mean the 3rd goal even had 31 passes in the build up. and Meireles was brilliant and scored a great goal.
i hope Meireles isnt moved form that position when Gerrard returns. If that means playing Gerrard on the right or left then so be it. although its likely he will just come in and replace Poulsen, who had a good game today until he ran out of steam in the second half.
