Baros to Villa pt.1,357

- Start date
Definately. Angel has been offering very little, he needs a firm kick up the backside. Our squad needs pace upfront and someone who can finish - something we lacked when Vassell was racing forward, getting into good positions only for Angel to miss sitters like Savo. Angel would hold the ball up well, and play the ball through for Vassell, but we'd all know what would happen next.
Baros is as fast as Vassell, but more skillful. Phillips is a natural goalscorer and a predator - something we've missed since Dion.
Now all we need is a decent central defender, and right back and - something we've been missing for years -
A FAST, CREATIVE MIDFIELDER. Can you hear me, David?

Firstly, I don't think that's true, but even if it were, it doesn't stop Baros being average and Villa being, at best, an average side.
You'll be going on and on and on about 'only' being 8 or so points off a European place as long as such and such wins the cup and such and such wins the Champions League and so on - from 10 games in, until about 3 games to go, when you'll shut up and start speculating about who's in the reserves at Newcastle or Liverpool who you can pick up during the close season.
What IS the point in your club?
Except for giving failed managers a temporary job and feeding cash to above named clubs.

I could write a lot of speil about Everton.......
.....but fuck it. Its the start of a new season, we've just signed a player that will give the squad a lift, and I'm looking forward to the ride. Its year 0 as far as last season goes, and it counts for very little.....
...well it will do for Everton tomorrow night away to Villareal.....

Except we'll be in the UEFA cup at worst.
Now, this thread isn't about Everton. We haven't just signed Baros, and nowhere have I claimed we're the 'dogs bollocks'.
So, when was Villa's last good season? Actually, there wasn't even anything about a 'good' season in my posts above. When was the last time Villa fans had ANYTHING to get excited about - good or bad? When they got promoted in the 80s? League Cup win early 80s?
I hoped Baros would stay at Anfield this year. Him with Crouch would perhaps have worked better than other forwards he's played with (seems to work well with Koller for the Czechs).
If he could improve his technique when one on one then he'd score a lot more goals, or at least he would have done last season. The amount he missed in key games really ended an excellent spell he had at the start of last season. It probably killed his confidence and Rafa's confidence in him. I don't know his record after Christmas but its probably something like 3 in 20.
At Villa his hogger style will just run rampant with the rubbish you have in midfield, especially if Solano goes. I still expect him to be a success and if he stays injury free, he'll probably beat the 13 he scored for us last season.
With the World Cup next year, if he can repeat Euro '04 and top score, then another couple mil will be added to his pricetag and he'll fuck off to Barcelona or he'll have a new dream club.
Its win-win if you're Villa, I can't believe he's choosing them over champions league footie at Lyon. Must really fucking hate Houiller.

I hope Relahni's right about this. I'm just hugely relieved that we've got another striker with Premiership experience, even if he hasn't really fulfilled his potential with Liverpool.
I just hope that we haven't given up Solano in exchange - seems we may find out today.

He's fast, he'll score goals - he's a good player
If i was being critical, I'd say he can be a bit Forest Gump - head down run with little knowledge of what is around him.
His passing isn't great - he loses the ball a lot when up front.
Was a bit annoyed that he never got a fair crack of the whip under Houllier due to Emile Heskey!
I think he'll do ok at Villa.....
Now, can we have Solano please......
Dr. Furface
One small step for me

If you wait a year his contract's up and you'll get him for nowt.
maximilian ping
Grrrrr
i must say i'm still gobsmacked by the fact Liverpool spent £7m on Rodney out of Only Fools and Horses and dumped Baros for £6. but time will tell.
and I'm glad villa have actually bought someone from a team that wasnt relegated the year before.
We desperately need a solid defender, like Relahni
, and a creative midfielder, like gary shaw 
. only then will we have a remote chance of euroballs

Gary Shaw? He was a striker!
We need a creative midfielder similar to how David Platt or Paul Merson played for us. We also need to sign a central defender that can actually play more than 10 games a season (cough, cough Martin Laursen), and a left back who is'nt always on another planet (cough, cough, J'Loyd Samuel) and walking around like a friggin' zombie....
