Aston Villa are ready to listen to offers for striker Marlon Harewood.

The Mail on Sunday says Villa have put £4 million-rated striker Harewood up for sale.

Stoke City and Wigan are among Premiership rivals keen on Harewood.

Not sure whether I really trust Tribal Football usually - most of their stuff is just a rehash of what they have read elsewhere. However in this case they are probably right - I do think Harewood will leave in January and ourselves and Wigan are obvious clubs who are interested. Ourselves beacuse he would suit TP's style and Wigan because they need to replace Heskey either in January or in the summer.

Is he good at flick ons, we may need him if so!

[Tuncay Stryder]

Forget flick ons what about goals?

[bygeorge]

Erm, his flick ons create goals? Fuller is only half the threat without mamas service. If he aint replaced we will struggle no doubt about it.

[redditchpotter]

Don't want him he is shite! Been saying it for weeks now,his attitude is questionable

[Bick]

I like him a lot, good again yesterday, works hard, perfect for stoke.

Tell Wigan we have dibs on him

[robwahlmann]

I'd be very pleased to see Harewood in a Stoke shirt in January! ;D

[duane_the_tog]

His experience at this level willb e good for us, and he knows how to score at this level too. not sure about the 4m valuation though.

[serpico]

I wouldn't grumble if he signed, but I don't see how Villa can ask for 4m for him, they signed him for that much and he's done nothing at Villa to justify his value staying the same or going up, if we got him for a couple of million then I'd be happy, he'd probably fit into our system fairly nicely.

[th05]

I wouldn't grumble either, decent signing I suppose.

[RAF]

4 million quid and 30 grand a week waste of funds IMHO.

[bayernoatcake]

4 million 2 million tops ta!

[stokelad84]

Sign him up! 4 million would be the going price seen as championship players are being touted for £5-6m

People who think we will get him for £1m or 2m are deluded

[bayernoatcake]

I don't think we could get him for 2 million. I just think that's his value.

[viiistokieviii]

if all else fails, get harewood, hes better than Vince n Cress, stil i think there must be someone better?

[oatcakeeater]

Swap for Kitson?

[march4]

If Dozy Dave cost £5M then anything less than £4M for Harewood would be a bargain. There again Kyle Lightbourne looks a bargain compared with Kitson.

Realistically, who could we attract who's better? Decent record, Prem experience, quick and strong.

[riproaring]

this is harewoods prem record according to wikki a lot better than i ever thought he was, nearly 1 in 4 but not really done owt for villa, any injuries to know about with his downturn in goals ?Season Team Apps Goals
2005/06 West Ham United 37 14
2006/07 32 3
2007/08 Aston Villa 23 5
2008/09 3 0
Total 95 22

[viiistokieviii]

I wouldn't swap him for Kitson, complete different players, both could do us a job.

Im stil a believer in Kito n his abilities

[rambo61]

If Ledleys worth 6 mill (which I hope we don,t pay ) then Harewood must be worth 4 mill ! Villa fans are divided on him but say he always gives 100% which is more than can be said for Pennant who isn,t even bothered about playing!!

[Linx]

It would be interesting to see, if the deals are very similar, whether Harewood would choose us or Wigan. We''ve got more potential than they have, with our tradition and larger support base, but they are longer established. If he came, I reckon it would be a bit of a coup.

Oi, viiistokiethingy! Lay off my avatar!

[Stokie-Jiggz]

4 million is too much
