Given signing set off a transfer merry go round

Keane to Tottenham.............maybe

Cris Ronaldo to Fulham

(one of them isnt true)

No im asking - is he on about Roque not leaving or about relegation?

If he's on about the latter than I disagree 100% - we will stay up easily

Not wishing to speak for pm but I presume he meant relegation.

I admire your confidence but I'm nowhere near as sure as you we'll stay up. Under Sam I'm sure we won't lay down and die against the top 4 but if we were to lose those 4 away games we could need eighteen or nineteen points from the other eleven games to stay up!

Aaron Mokena is rumoured to be going to Sheffield United for the rest of the season.

Nicko, anything like to happen transfer wise at Villa in the next 24 hours?

Hopefully see the back of him

Have you looked at our upcoming fixtures yet? We've just had the easy games...

If we don't at least get someone in on loan I'll be dissapointed. Even with the very real threat of relegation looming we still can't produce any transfer funds.

Your run in has a few 6 pointers, chelsea away will be an obstacle but there are still about 7 teams with just a couple of points between you, I think you'll be safe,

I guess west brom and stoke will go down just a matter of who will join them.

Kuranyi's wikipedia entry

Not bad by the looks of it but can't believe we're contemplating such a huge gamble at this late stage.

Kuranyi is hardly a gamble, he is proven quality. If we were to sell Roque I couldn't think of a better player to replace him with like for like

Roque has scored 3 goals this season. I don't understand where this idea that we'd be losing a great deal if we sell him is coming from. Last season is looking more and more like a flash in the pan, especially given his previous record.

Many of the match reports that I have read described him as "not interested" during the Boro game.

If we sign a "decent" striker and make a tidy profit I will be very happy.

He hasn't played in the Premiership before so that makes him a gamble in my book. Might be really good, might not settle.

Roque hasn't been as effective this season as last but made a real difference when he came on against Bolton and you could see his quality. Probably the main reason we salvaged a point.

i thought poggy was a good rumour, german chaps even better. not counting any chickens yet like until they wear the shirt but this is awsome speculation, we'll probably end up with kevin davies though!

santa may not have banged em in this season yet but class is permenant and i'd much prefer to keep him.

I wouldn't class Henri Camara as decent. I would label him average.

I suppose I should resign myself to a feeling of disappointment hopefully followed, as the season progresses, with pleasant surprise.

Agreed. Keeping Santa Cruz is our best option for the relegation fight. Other suggestions are too big a gamble in our current circumstances.

Roberts: 14(4) appearances, 6 goals

McCarthy: 10(6) appearances, 7 goals

Santa Cruz 14(2) appearances, 3 goals.

Roberts has come on and made real differences at times too, although his end header should have been a lot better against Boro his influence was big after he came on. He's been getting himself into those positions a lot more than Roque and thus has scored more despite his terrible finishing.

I'd happily jack in RSC to be honest, he's just not as interested, wants out and seems to have a very similar scoring record this season to his record at Bayern which wasnt too good either.

I remember very similar statements being made about Benni McCarthy not so long ago.

Simple fact is - We won't be able to sign anyone near Roque's quality.

Keep him.

Tugay says hi! :lol:

Although Roque was superb I can't make my mind up on him this season to be honest casue on saturday he did look only half interested to be fair. If we could get a genuine replacement and a profit it has to be considered.
