Pointless signing imo, why doesn't MON just clear the air with John Carew if he wants a target man in his team.

Yea really pointless. Signing England's best striker is pointless. Jeez! £3.5 million is a snip.

3 goals for Wigan all season, if Heskey is England's best striker then we won't be making the world cup. Even Owen's scored more. Heskey's very useful but Villa are hardly struggling.

There's more to being a striker than scoring, even though scoring helps. Look at how many goals Heskey has created this season. John Carew has hardly set the Premier League on fire this season has he? 5 goals is it? Great signing.

True, but I won't change my opinion that it's a pointless signing. I don't think there is a great deal of difference between Carew and Heskey except the former is a few years younger therefore more of an asset. Plus, as I've said before they've been doing even better without a big target man.

You only need to see Zaki's stats this season to make your Judgement on Heskey.

With clowns like Bellamy going for £14m, this is an absolute steal contract expiring or not.

Expect to see Bellamy move again in the summer.

He's the Trevor Benjamin of permanent transfers.

I thought defensively in the 2nd half anyway Sidwell contributed more, Petrov seemed to run with the ball then hit a brick wall. Agree with the additional striker, I can see MON buying a more experienced striker to play along side Agbonlahor to pep him up a bit. Similar to what he did with Heskey when he got Claridge to play along side him.

Nice call.

I wonder if we'll see:

--------------- Heskey - Agbonlahor -------------

Young ---------- x ----------- x ----------- Milner

for England soon? Barry as well, even.

You have to admire MON for the squad he is creating. I would have loved him to of been England manager, but then Capello is doing a decent job.

I wish we could go back to capping foreign players, maximum of 4 on the field at anyone time.

I was really just pointing out the novelty of four Villa players possibly lining up together, rather than picking my side.

Well, Capello's been talking up Milner in the press recently so we'll see. It's good to have some wide options for a change though.
