I think it's rubbish to suggest they haven't listened to supporters. If it was just about changing to nike to make the most money why didn't doug do this? it's not like he had a dislike to making money is it

The same could of been said about robbie keane when he first moved to spurs.

i think in the summer one of defoe, keane, bent, ashton or bellamy will be a villa player.

Very good read

I know but i hope he can see the potential in them.

i'd be upset if davis and ridge left. Both are still young and both have shown enough to me that they are capable of becoming really good players. In fact i'd say both are pretty good players right now

Ridge and Cahill will both have decent careers playing in the premiership and i hope it will be with aston villa. Not many centre backs play as much as those 2 at such a young age and the more experince they get the better they will become. They both have the attributes to become really good players. Laursen is different class, but to be fair we haven't seen enough of him on a regular basis, we don't know for sure he can be great on a consistent basis. Mellberg has been a bit of form at times but he has been a very good defender for us over the years. How come he doesn't get the angel nice guy, model pro defence card played for him?

oh I thought i might have missed something

are we interested in bale? Have i missed some rumour or report?

Then how can you make a comment like 'he has done bugger all'? He has already got rid of players who have no future at the club, possibly broken the clubs transfer record by bringing in a very promising young player after beating other clubs to his signature and has now just got rid of a striker who has failed at the club and brought in one who has a fairly big reputation and looks like he will fit into MONS plans alot more. He is building his team and i think most fans are happy to give him time to do this.

results are important but just like with DOL or any other manager i won't start getting on their back after a few months in the job and without the chance to bring in players. If you got on the back of every manager and made sly digs towards them after they had just started then your right in saying that you are fair. Agree with that totally

My best mate who was with me, is a Pompey fan, he was convinced, I am 120% sure it was him. Stroke of luck that having a Pompey fan with you to identify him. Just what i was thinking Also don't players go to bodymoor heath and not the ground when discussing deals?

Unlike saying lucas neil is world class You've accused me of things i have written before please start reading, i think neil is a better player than bardsley right now, however and this is the big point of the debate i would not want villa to pay someone like neil the money west ham are paying him. If no one wants neil then why all the **** moaning, let west ham have him.

Maybe bardsley will turn out to be better than hughes and then we've done exactly the same. I still can't believe people are unhappy because lucas neil hasn't come to us, it's lucas neil for gods sake.

I'm going to go and hang myself Does anyone know the date Spurs got taken over and the business they did in their first transfer window? just curious

Dam we should have offered him £100,000 a week :winkold:

So because i don't want us to sign lucas neil on ridiculous wages means i wouldn't want one of the most highly rated youngsters in world football Thats one of the weakest posts i've ever read. For the record I'm more than happy for villa to pay huge wages to quality players, not blackburns right back.

He also stated that he would consider a move in the summer

So if he plays well he will happily go back and sit on the bench for the next few seasons. He went on loan to rangers and now us because he wants to play first team football, if he has the chance to do that with us next season i think he'll take it.

I agree we have some very average players earning a good wage at villa so i don't see it as a positive move to bring in another average player and make him the highest earner. I don't want anyone they have signed this january transfer window

if you had just said that from the start then i would have agreed with you. Neil is an average player and i don't want aston villa to start paying ridiculous wages to average players just for the sake of it.

So he's not good enough for them, ok i agree You question what i know about football and then call lucas neil proven world class :? Where have i done that then? So just to clear things up, would you want villa to pay lucas neil £50,000 a week?

It's nothing personal i just tend to disagree with most things you say. The fact you joined in this discusion about neil and kept going on about how west ham have got themselves a good player and that villa should be prepared to pay those wages to lucas neil made me think you weren't happy that we hadn't got him. If you don't care that we haven't signed him then we agree on something because i don't care either.

And milan baros won the golden boot at the euro champs Like TT said if teams like barcelona, juventus and liverpool really wanted him he wouldn't be joining west ham now would he. Or maybe those teams realise that paying an average player ridiculous wages is stupid

Not once have i seen us linked with neil or read anywhere that MON was interested in neil so if you trust the manager why moan about the fact we haven't brought a player he probably wasn't interested in.
