O’Neill: I want value for Villa money

MARTIN O’NEILL has warnedhe will not pay “extortionate” money for new signings to bolster Aston Villa’s push for a Champions League spot.

Villa will be looking to cement their place in the top four of the Premier League when they visit out-of-form Portsmouth tonight.

O’Neill is keen to add more than just striker Emile Heskey — poised to make his Villa debut at Fratton Park — during the current transfer window.
