ClaretMahoney Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 This club deserves its own thread, much like the Toon and SHA ones. I find it incredible how many players this club is buying WITHOUT even offering European football, it's simply astounding! These players are moving there to sit on the bench and rake in loads of oil money, lining their pockets to play for such a small club! They've already got loads of strikers! How could any striker want to go there knowing they've got such a fight for their place?! Eto'o to City is just astonishing, I can't believe he might even be considering it, it's madness. Going from a club that just finished best in the world, to play for a club that won't even be playing Sevilla in competition. How many players do you think will leave in the January window next year? If they aren't in the top 4 by Christmas I think we'll see an exodus, and hopefuly Villa will be in prime position to pounce on a couple of their more talented players!

ClaretMahoney Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Just Wiki'd it and they have 9 forwards. 11 defenders, and 12 midfielders!! INSANE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian_Angel_M Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It can go both ways, either they break the top 4 or they'll sink in midtable obscurity, for entertainment ala Newcastle citrcus i hope they get into a relegation battle with the filth and hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm hoping so badly that those Arabs get bored with the lack of success and decide to leave. The club would be ruined... more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Why are people obsessed with the large squad they have. A load of them are out of contract tomorrow and then others will be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thing is... it's not just money now.. it was at first when they signed Robinho, but now the ball is rolling and the calibre of players are increasing they can lure players with the chance to play along side these other good players, and probably will challenge for Champions League, possibly even the league. If you were a footballer wouldn't you love the chance to play alongside Tevez, Robinho, Eto'o.. They've made some sensible signings (Given, quality keeper.. Barry, solid holding player.. Lescott, if they get him quality centre half).. and now they're threatening to add flair to that with Eto'o and Tevez. As annoying as it is, they're not just throwing the money around like Chelsea did at the start.. They're throwing MORE money around, but more sensibly.

Barry will have a hard time competeing with kompany and de jong, both are very acomplished holding midfeilders and I can't see Ireland not being first on the team sheet. I give til November before he throws his diamond encrusted dummy out of his pram. Wouldn't it be funny if he's on the bench at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
