Kevin Phillips is probably the most famous to have done three of the four in recent times.

Ahhhh If Only........... DD

We are the ones paying Derby £3 million to take Big Vic off our hands right ?

We bought BV for £6 million, and if we sell him to Derby for £3 million that'll feel like we're giving Derby the player and £3 million. Capiche?
Also, did we get Joleon Lescott for free off Man City? If so, any fee Villa give us will be pure profit.
And on a similar basis, we ought to give Saido Berahino a new five-year contract, with built-in pay rises, naturally, although I could financially advise him how to live on £14,000 a week AND set himself up for life if he made that sort of money for only the next 5 years, let alone the 10 years he should enjoy. And then we would really cash in if and when we sell him.

£14,000 a week ?
How can any pampered, self-centred out of reality modern day footballer survive on that ?

Seems like the Mat Phillips signing might not be that far off...

[talkSAFT]

It certainly looks like Pulis wants to play 3-5-2. Chester & Evans will provide the missing pace, with GMac in the middle. Brunty's ideal for the left side of the 5, but who would the right side be? Manamana?

[Squirrel Regis]

Think Mcmanaman is going to be a big player this season, fingers crossed.
Not sure about 3-5-2 as TP seems set on 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 or 4-5-1 ?

[silverbaggie]

With all the CB's we seem to be acquiring I think it's more likely to be 1-9-1 Rondon you've got an awful lot of running around to do.

Who for though? Villa have been linked with him.
I do wish Albion would stop faffing about with long-term transfer targets!
