VillaForever1970

Yup, come Saturday or our first loss it will be the apocalypse, we’ll be total shite again and the world is ending.

This just doesn't seem like the kind of appointment the Randy Lerner of the last few years could make.

Apart from this bloke isn’t from football background... like PF.

Is more financial... like PF

Did some good deals at Arsenal... Like PF did at Villa.

In black and white the only difference is he comes from a football club, whilst originally PF didn’t.

Yet PF was the worse CEO and was absolute shite according to most Villa fans.

Get rid of the current official site template, its shit.

Hopefully he'll get a sub most games, getting him used to the league with no real pressure.

You don't achieve what he has achieved without being half decent, given time they'll be fine. Need to spend a few more bob though.

Can't believe anyone was really panicking that this would not happen . Ive been confident for three or four days

Good for you.

So, we haven't even begun contract talks with Vlaar.

 

It seems to me that the club is either:

 

A. Lying

B. have no intention of renewing his contract, is happy to sell him and is waiting for a bid.

C. negligent by not offering a new deal long before now

 

Rumours are that we are in a bit of a mess behind the scenes so it would not surprise me if it is C.

 

Rumours? I think it's fairly obvious!

Its not like we’ve been trying to tie up a fairly complicated foreign signing, involving third party ownership and lots of representatives or anything, is it?

Hopefully this goes through as if it doesn’t, it will obviously be the clubs and Lambert's fault.

Rather at any point in time especially with lots of reps, they suddenly demand that Villa buy Sanchez a Bargain Booze next to his house or something stupid.

When this **** up, i’ll chuckle at all the ‘its the clubs fault’ lines; without anyone knowing the full circumstances.

I've read that it doesn't matter what senderos and richardson did at past clubs, it's what they do wearing claret and blue that counts.  Well that's the same for Bent surely? Yes he didn't score many goals for a poor Fulham team but he's better than the other options we have at the moment.

Very true.

The strange thing i find with Bent is that its always someone else’s fault. Not scoring goals, no service. No movement, players not passing in to space.

Trent is lurking...

All of the XMen films are rubbish.

X Men 2 is high on my list of least favourite films. Garbage.

Don’t you hate all ‘superhero’ films though?

Saying that you’d have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy parts of Guardians.

Guardians is really good.

I'd hope he'd stay for 45k pw, but in reality he could quite easily get 60-70k a week at Saints or another club. 

 

45k still isn't up there with Delph and Gabby's contracts?

Do you work for Saints or another club?

Under the skin .....1/10 ...absolute shit

Awesome film, i hazard a guess you wouldn’t like anything Lynch has done neither..

Needs to sort that barnet out though.

Is he actually moving this season so far, as least season for Fulham he just stood there half the time?

I suppose signing players and getting it right every single time happens at all clubs other than Villa.

 

Can you name another club who have recently bought four players (eg Sylla, Tonev, Luna and Helenius) then moved them all on a year later?

£8m is more than enough if you spend it wisely.

Can you name all the players signed for 8mill that have gone on to be success.

Their cost doesn’t guarantee naff all, apart from when Lambert spends it.

I suppose signing players and getting it right every single time happens at all clubs other than Villa.

KEA?  Christ no.  Awful player.  And I wish people would stop going on about Guzan like it was some genius find.

I'll take your opinion on signings with a pinch of salt, as you said that Lambert has never signed anyone decent. Didn't even correct it in regards to Benteke & Vlaar either.

Hatred seems to blind people.

Vlaar has clearly improved under Lambert as he's got used to the league, going by what you say that's an impossibility for all Lambert signings.

It must've been a right old struggle only having 43m to spend. Good job his sound tactical knowledge was intact otherwise we'd have gone for sure

To re-build a whole team? Yeah thats shit load.

Lerner has really fcuked us up this time!

I agree he should just sell us for 50p or magic up some buyers out of thin air to spend billions on players.

Playing for the u21 tonight. Is that really going to encourage him to sign a new deal.

I really do feel we're messing this one up.

I agree, i’m a professional football coach and see him train and play every day and know exactly what is right for him.

I also play football manager.

I'll only believe it if Trent tells us, even after he is holding a shirt I'll still only believe it if Trent tells us

Villa fans the only ones that doesn’t understand how managers/coaches can get different performances out of different players.

They are shit and thats it.
