superfint

If the price is right (20-25 million) am all for selling him if he wants out. Who will we get though? Players outside Villa won't be impressed seeing us sell our top players year after year. Bit gutted, hope we tell Liverpool to Jog on and keep him for another year & sell then if he still wants out.

15 million bid for DJ , on skysports now , jog on king kenny you scouse tosser!

VillaMatt Matt Smith talkSPORT Price for Downing is being touted at around the 17-19 million mark, led to understand he has told #avfc he wants out. Has to be bullshit. He cost 12million with a broken leg!!! I can't believe we would do a deal unless it was a deal of "Milner" proportions! (ie- 20million +)

Mat from Talksport just tweeted that he thinks DJ is a gonner! Villamat "To all asking be about Downing, I believe he will leave within the next few days. #avfc"

Am not, well i wasn't a big fan of them but IMO Coldplay were fantastic at Glastonbury last night, downloaded & have been listening to the first 2 albums all morning! Should i be embarressed? Maybe am getting old!

Would you take Rafa now CV ??!!?? :winkold:

Im one of them. Shit myself last night. Today I've accepted my £90 loss but as I have no plans to go villa park under AM I will look at it as a saving overall. Hope it works out & its all a smoke screen mate. I actually told a few heads on a message board on Sunday to lay the shit out of him, as i honestly was thinking there was no possibility of him getting it, another favorite on another day ala Rafa,Carlo, etc. Won't be in a rush to go back there for a chat! Is it really more or less sorted?! Any believable sources (IE- Mysterman) confirm hes getting the job or is Mcleish just being interviewed/considered?

Wow, i've been away from the laptop/news/internet since monday, met some mates, travelling,etc. Turn on the laptop to catch up today a few hours ago now am back in Poland........ Heck over 700pages here now! Whoever layed McLeish on Betfair are shitting it now i say!

My 2 cents... A few Plops fans i was talking also kept telling me how good Rafa was. They would definatly take him back at some stage, say hes fantastic manager that made changes everywhere from youth,scouting etc for the better. I have to say, he gets a bit of a bashing with the media, and i don't/didn't like him much, but the more i think of it i think he would be a great apointment! His record speaks for himself, Hes a Winner. I don't care who manages the club and if he is likable or not, i just want us winning & for that reason i think Rafa more than worth a punt.

I might be wrong for sunday but when you think about it, a lot of SHA drink in town & if that place has SKY then along with the cheaper booze (if its still a weatherspoons pub)along with the big chance they go down it could get nasty. It has kicked off there before on a sunday,so....well, I'd give it a miss just in case. Better off going to a pub nearer VP. That said - enjoy your day !

Serious?? cheers for the heads up. Best not go in sunday so, with my Villa top on & all. Might try it tomarrow morning when i get into the city.

At least it be entertaining. Hes a Fat Spanish Waiter, but hes also a Fat Spanish Winner!

We'll see i guess, gonna be an interesting summer. Hope we get Rafa the Gaffer for the craic! EDIT - opps - jumped the gun a bit!

Cheers lads, The Square peg sounds good, looked up there & know where it is roughly.I'll give it a try on Sunday sure. I heard henneseys on digbeth high street is goood but not sure exactly where its at. Any nice late bars/pubs for Sunday? Am not really the nightclub type, presume Last orders on a Sunday are around 11?? Sorry if am highjacking your thread Pricey!!

Thank fook i didn't wait till i got to Brum to get tickets! So, any recomendations for Bars that stay open late?! Am flying to Dublin Monday morning so am just staying out Sunday evening on the piss & heading to the airport as late as possible & stick around there!(Flight is at 8am Monday) Staying at the Prince Hotel on Stanmore Road on the Saturday night, basic & cheap place just to have a kip in! Doesn't seem too far out from Broad street & the city centre.
