Hutton to Villa is a good shout. Well if we look at things in terms of 'market conditions' then the movement of managers is a good sign.

We had a situation in the last couple of windows where everything was very 'safe' and clubs stuck with what they knew so to speak. Hopefully the movement of managers will lead to a more ins and outs, which should benefit us in terms of getting rid of our fringe players.

Well, that's the theory anyway!

Christ, I'm getting excited now even though the Rossi deal probably won't come off.

I hope I'm wrong.

Added to the fact that Walker is back with us, the RB slot at Villa definitely needs filling - thats bound to be Hutton's likely destination with a fellow Scott to manage him.

We paid 9 million for him - we'll be lucky to get half that. Maybe 5 million tops.

Daniel Levy will get his money eventually.

See Darren Bent.

If the club is ever going to push on and be a force, I guess now is the time todo it. If we do not make the top 4 again, we won't just be discussing the prospect of losing Modric, it will be all our best players.

Stranger things have happened, I get the feeling from all the itk that we're at a later stage than simply putting a bid in for him.

Wait, what am I saying, he wont come to us :cry:

That is what I thought. Does this mean we can put the guessing on this particular cryptic to bed?
I think it's safe to say that Blue and Yellow is referring to our interest in Rossi. That doesn't change the fact he is unlikely to move from Villarreal to Spurs - a move that he would surely see as a downwards step. Imo we have a better team than Villarreal as the strength in depth of the Spanish league does not match that of the English league and we got the same points total. However Rossi will probably see it as they're in the Champions' League, we're not, ergo, a step down. That is sadly the way with modern football.

I would have thought that Wilson would be one of the players sunderland would be after seeing as they just sold henderson , plus Bruce has had Wilson playing for him before at Wigan, but then again sunderland are short on strikers.

After hearing his name linked with Barca I'm 99% sure we have no chance, so am trying to block out the image I have of him in our new shirt :cry:
