HI fellas, FIRST just confirming ZAZA arrives tomorrow morning as scheduled, BONY has cooled off at present, whilst REMY talks proceed, VALENCIA, don't be swayed by talk which is out of context, the 15m euro bid, was made by LAZIO some time ago, at that time as I stated previously WH should have bitten their hands off, but they didn't, this has absolutely nothing to do with villa bid of two days past This can easily be revived as soon as others have signed BURKE will be leaving on loan their is now a list of clubs that want his services from the championship SB is not keen to send FLETCHER out on loan BUT depending on whom arrives, it may be the best thing to give the youngster more game time, ARSENAL, I know a lot of our fans wanted us to sign LUCAS PEREZ. He apparently is close to joining arsenal, whilst they continue. SLIMANI talks as well OBVIOUSLY we need a right back, this has been confirmed by WH as they failed with a Janmaat bid, I am hoping for a pleasant suprise here, like we all hadwith FERNANDEZ, nobody including myself saw that one coming! Back later IRONMIKE.

I would be very happy with Calleri, Remy and Zaza as our attacking threat this season. Shame we couldn't get one in before tonight or Sunday but at least we then have a bit of a break so players can rest and familiarise themselves with the club and its players.

I still feel we need the RB situation sorting out and whilst Micah Richards isn't ideal, he is better than what we have!

I disagree phil I don't think micah richards is better than byram at all, he's better back up than we currently have though, remy I'm not sure about he had one decent season for newcastle the other 3 seasons in pl been mediocre to say the least plus I'm not sure he can play that lone striker role that Bilic likes given the choice between him and bony I'd tale bony every time, I like zaza though think he would be good.

Hi Phil

I think Micah Richards would be a great addition, I have always liked him as a player, and thought he would have been a England regular, I think he may have got injured or Man C got rich or both and kinda put his career back, granted he was not great at Villa last year, but none of them was but I would still have him all day long.

I remember watching Micah Richards last year at the Villa game. He was very very poor. Maybe team morale was low but his head was down the whole game, no effort running back, no passion. I would much rather play Byram there. Byram is looking more confident than before and if SB gives him some serious game time - I feel confident he will just get better and better.

If we signed Zaza and Remy I would be delighted. Still like the idea of Bony personally but in Slav we trust!

Richards won't come as back up and I bet he's got a huge salary. Still need cover for byram if only for his yellow cards! Maybe Burke might stay as full back cover like young centre halves used to. I would prefer another young talent of byrams level so they can push each other on to higher levels.
