    Agreed that we shouldn't speculate about these guys would or wouldn't do based on their net worth. Their net worth doesn't tell us much of anything.

    I live in Dallas and follow the Rangers closely. Here are my initial thoughts, for whatever they're worth: These guys will stay quiet and behind the scenes. Don't expect them to say much or do interviews (unlike Liverpool's owner, Henry). They will want to field a competitive team. The Rangers' General Manager (who is essentially in charge of the team, strategically) has said that he has never asked to spend money and been turned down. That said, I wouldn't expect these guys to come in and spend bucket loads of money on transfers. We wouldn't be the new City, or really anything close to it.

    There is no truth to the rumors that I'm the billionaire buyer from Texas.

    My dad got prostate cancer at about the same age as your dad. He found out the day before I got married and told me the day after I got married. It sucked. It really sucked. But he's survived and been clear for five years. So your dad can crush it, too. Good luck, for real.

    This seems like a signing West Ham would make.

    Naw. I'm fairly certain that Messi wouldn't go missing.

    This dude is a baller.

    It's gotta be a number ten. But I'm not holding my breath for another signing till we shed Ireland, Bent, and Given. And even if we don't sign a number ten, I'll still be happy with our business this summer.

    We scored quite a few from distance last season. In fact, I can't remember the last time we scored more from distance. Lowton, Benteke, Vlaar, and Holman all scored some cracking long-range goals. I voted for Okore, because who doesn't want to see a repeat or two of his performance against Chelsea in the Champions League?

    I know nothing about Bacuna apart from what I've read in the last two or three days. And from what I've read, he sounds a lot like Reo-Coker: great energy, box-to-box, and not great technique or passing.

    or a bigger player renewing his contract? Or both? or a bigger player renewing his contract? Or both? Every summer, people speculate whether a new player will be magically revealed, to great dramatic effect, during the kit launch. And that has never happened, at least not while I've followed the Villa, so I don't expect it to happen this season either.
  12. Villain-from-Texas
    Confirmed by whom? The club? No. By the likes of Mat Kendrick, plus countless other reporters? Yes.
  13. Villain-from-Texas
    I would agree, if we had a better option. But we don't. Whom do you want to play there? Holman? Ireland?

    Olsson turns 30 in March.

    We beat City at City. Yet people don't think we can beat Norwich at Norwich?

    I don't quite know what people expect from Lambert. Look at our squad: it isn't exactly overflowing with quality. I reckon he's done a solid job so far, especially when you consider the squad's age and the relatively little time we've had to play together. Benteke, Westwood, Lowton, and Vlaar were all good buys whom I expect to do plenty of good for us this season, not to mention the seasons after that. Today's game against QPR and Tuesday's game against Reading were poor, that is true. But we're in a better spot now than we were 6 weeks ago.
  17. Villain-from-Texas
    Why does someone tall need to play with him? He and Westwood looked OK together on Saturday. This goes against popular sentiment, but I'll say it anyway: Herd is terrible. Just terrible. He's the quality of player who starts for a team in 17th place. Which is what we are. But we can't reasonably expect to move higher in the table with him in the starting eleven.
  18. Villain-from-Texas
    I don't see what the fuss is about. Thought he was a nonfactor today.
  19. Villain-from-Texas
    Bannan is our only good corner taker? I couldn't disagree any more heartily. Albrighton put in peach after peach from the corner today. It wasn't his fault that no one got onto the end of them.
  20. Villain-from-Texas
    At first glance, I thought the tackle deserved a red. So I cant fault the ref for showing a yellow. But on the replay, it in fact looked like a perfect tackle. It wasn't even a foul.
  21. Villain-from-Texas
    If We have an improved offer and Kendrick knows we are prepared to go higher then why would he make it public. Clearly Genk won't accept our current bid now!!! Because he's a reporter, not an employee of Villa.
  22. Villain-from-Texas
    Why are folks moaning about Jordan Bowery? He costs peanuts and is a prospect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this signing. If he doesn't work out, how have we been set back?
  23. Villain-from-Texas
    People need to take a few deep breaths. He has cost just 500k. I really don't see the problem.
  24. Villain-from-Texas
    Presumably we'll up our bid for Stephens. I can't imagine that we'd cut and run after having one bid rejected.
  25. Villain-from-Texas
    Despite knowing nothing about Bowery, I would say the odds are pretty good that he is.
