If we still had Bentley this signing would make more sense to me.

Is it unfeasable that you could loan him back? By all accounts, now that we have Downing, i can't see Villa going for him, so who else? World Cup year and all that.

Would you guys want Bentley back for a season?

[T4E]

I'd take Bentley back in a flash.

I think most fans would take him back, but i can't see him being open to such a move.

No question.

I think his ego craves bigger things than Rovers these days.

i think after his `clubbing` in london the other night, homely boring lancashire will suddenly seem all the more appealing again. a house in the quiet picturesque ribble valley would be a good place for a young couple expecting a newborn to be living. i would not rule out a return for bentley, considering spurs still likely owe money from that deal.

something has stopped the villa deal happening, is it the man himself?

[nicknj72]

Well if nobody comes in for him and he isn't gonna get anywhere under Redknapp, i don't see why he wouldn't. If he's performing regularly somewhere, and playing well, perhaps Capello would include him in the squad. Stranger things have happened.

Must admit, i would have liked him at the Villa, but....well, who knows what goes through Martin's mind !!! haha

It could happen if he is still on the Spurs books come the end of August. Possible as I am not sure who out there would meet Spur's exhorbitant asking price now Villa have got Downing. CIty have bigger and better targets, everyone else is skint apart from Sunderland. Maybe Everton could fancy it?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I think the only thing holding Bentley back is his pride.

[Tom]

As a thought, Hoillett looks real fast, he could work well playing off someone like Zigic or di Santo who should be winning all headers.

Still no official announcement on Hoillett though

downing is left sided, bentley right sided. maybe the villa deal will still happen for bentley after ashley young gets sold for 20 odd million to chelsea or somewhere..?

I'm not even sure this tale will get much in the papers tomorrow, with the Open and the cricket, but for what it's worth...

As far as I know the number one target is now Nikola Zigic...Sam has been looking at him for a while and he is the most available striker in the price range. He is the man most likely to arrive as we speak and I believe something will move shortly.

Plays for Valencia, who don't want him but are trying to create an auction. Giant Serb, possibly improving with age. Possibly not.

Can't say I'm a fan, but it's not down to me.

The only other name getting a serious mention right now is Kenwyne Jones, But I think if Zigic's price is right - in the £6 to 7 million range - that he should be on his way soon.

Feel free to throw rotten fruit at this stage if you wish.

And before anyone asks that was the 11 o'clocker.

Burnley fans will already be aware of the Ecuadorian.

In a small snippet elsewhere Danny Simpson, once briefly of this parish, is talking to Ipswich about a full-time move from Man U. Not agreed terms yet.

Which Ecuadorian is this? Have I missed something?

[nicknj72]

I think the only thing holding Bentley back is his pride.

I'd rather lose pride than gain spinters from the subs bench

Don't forget he came with an ego the first time, would love him back myself

well this is one of the things in discussion on the Villa forums, but it "appears" that Young is going no-where. I think MON will play him in a free'er role, closer to big JC.

Anything can happen in football though, and i'm not gonna log on the Villa forums if he does go, cos it will be mayhem !!!!

Zigic reminds me of yang Changpeng

True but he had to put that to one side and knuckle down to hard work to establish himself at Ewood, would he be prepared to do that again i very much doubt it with his partying in london, millions in the bank and his beach bar abroad. Dont get me wrong id love to have him back as he was, just not much faith in him anymore.

Fernando Guerrero.

Speedy Gonzalez's wee brother.

[Fraserkirky]

Zigic for 6m is a good deal, target man check, with Di Santo for back-up.

Surely we need to focus on some pace now or a goalscoring midfielder.

Should have a decent wad left over as well.

[Hi Mack]

Regarding Zigic.....

I think some people should have a reality check! Zigic is a very good option, especially for a

club like Blackburn. I think some people are still in 95. Can anyone seriously say they have seen

Zigic play? Ive seen him on a few occasions....granted he didnt get much of a chance at Valencia but who is

ahead of him? David Villa......possibly the No1 striker in Europe. Who do people realistically think we can get?

In a nut shell hes better than Jones and for the cash being talked about hes a better option than Crouch and Bent!

[super_arran]

2mins 40seconds.........boom

[Hi Mack]

2mins 40seconds.........boom

3mins 35 seconds...........How good is that header?

[modes98]

I really wouldn't mind Zigic. Decent player, no world beater but at these prices it is difficult to get better.
