  1. What doesnt help the frustration is that every time this forum goes quiet for a little while I think 'ah, hopefully someone is hearing something and searching some possible leads' then another few minutes pass with a few clicks of the refresh button followed by a new post which says something along the lines of 'so, nothing happening then!' FML
  2. We need someone that can play now, not someone who will go to the African nations cup for a month!
  3. I thought that but it would only work if we were actually trying to sign any of those players!
  4. I appreciate that they dont want to give anything away for fear it could effect a deal but it would be nice if one of them would release a statement asking the fans to be patient because they are doing everything they can to bring in a few faces. We are hearing nothing and dont even know if we are going to sign anyone at all!
  5. Agreed. Its just a matter of time before one of the twatter ITK's guess a player PL actually is bidding on, then the board will panic and get the deal done sharpish before they get hijacked.
  6. OK, I know we are all just throwing names out there that we would like to sign but I really dont see the point in mentioning people like Boateng as the African Nations cup starts on Saturday so if he's going to that then we lose him for a month and if not, why not? If we signed Johnson (who pretty much indicated he has retired) then he would not be match fit until at least next season so we can stop talking about him as well. Every transfer window our name gets thrown into the hat for every player because we havent had a complete team for years yet we hardly ever sign the players we've been linked with so we are basically in the dark as we have no clue who is on PL's list. My guess is that he is looking at players from Belgium, Holland & Scandinavia in general as that is where we did the most scouting so I hope we are looking at another Vlaar coming in.
  7. True! Plus Lerners response would've been "I'm not paying extra for experience!"
  8. Is that a direct quote from the last meeting between PL & RL?
  9. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8400215/Nancy-defender-Massadio-Haidara-open-to-Newcastle-move We tried to sign him last year, hes a LB
  10. Snap! Probably looking at the getting fired by the end of the month too! lol
  11. Guardian: The midfielder Moussa Sissoko has emerged as a potential target for Aston Villa. The 23-year-old is believed to be under consideration by the manager, Paul Lambert. Daily Star: Toulouse's French international Moussa Sissoko is on Aston Villa's shopping list. Villa boss Paul Lambert has vowed to add strength to his midfield this month and Sissoko fits the bill. Daily Express: Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne will return to training later this week after undergoing three operations this season.
  12. This on sky sports website: Reports in several papers claim that Martin Jol is planning a bid to bring Aston Villaleft-back Stephen Warnock to Fulham and The Times reports that could lead to John Arne Riise's departure from Craven Cottage this month.
  13. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8399473/Former-Barcelona-boss-Pep-Guardiola-is-keen-to-manage-in-the-Premier-League New manager starting Monday, Neymar, Ronaldo & Messi on free transfers undergoing medicals at villa park today and somebody found the key to Dale Stephens cage (it was under the mat all along)
  14. Hopefully today is the day then. Perhaps its blind faith but I have a good feeling about it now despite feeling down and negative for most of this window (apart from when the Coutinho stuff was about). I'm sure something will dampen my spirits soon enough so I'm gonna enjoy the next 10 mins or so feeling like we're gonna do business today!
  15. Due to the fixtures, this week is our longest break between games of the window so hopefully this week is when it will happen. We've got 4 games in 10 days starting Saturday which takes us up to the end of the window so I'm hoping to see at least 2 names come in by the weekend that will be paraded (if cup-tied) or playing on Tuesday night.
  16. Not sure what happened there but while I was typing that, about 4 other positive message were posted!??? Is there something in the water? lol
  17. We've got 16 league games to go this season with players returning from injury at the moment and although we havent signed anybody yet, the odd comment from PL would suggest we will sign a midfielder and possibly a CB. He's not stupid and knows thats what we need so I think it will happen. You dont get relegated in February and although we are not what we used to be, we are still bigger and stronger than at least 4 teams around us in the league. The fans have been awesome and need to continue to make as much noise as possible because the team and manager need us more than ever so we cant give up on them. We will turn Bradford over and we will survive this season, then we will ship out all the deadwood in the summer and PL can build the team up for next season. If I'm wrong, we will just have to watch championship football next season and carry on singing. We've been down before and our support was amazing. There is one thing about the Villa that has never changed and never will.... US! VTID!
  18. My point exactly, why bring in more players like this?
