He should be starting with Delph in CM. His one touch play is top quality, you only have to watch him a few times to see how good he is. Unlike Petrov, as soon as the ball comes to Makoun he knows where hes going with it and what he wants to do.

It is ALWAYS bad when games get called off 3 days before. Fans will lose tons of money over this and its stupidly annoying.

If tonight isn't that bad im hoping it will be on.

If this gets called off im going to go **** mental.

Like the one we had for Young a few years ago that never took off.. Charles, Charles will tear you apart, again..

Wasn't closed was just full, there were Villa fans in there because I couldn't get in. Should be warm this year and hopefully they let people spill onto the street.

My mate said some fans booed at the end of the game? If so it is pathetic.

£25 Virgin return are the same price as the normal trains when I looked. I will be leaving at 7.50am from New Street, getting to London for about 9.10ish, get some food then head to Putney Bridge and straight into the 8 Bells.

I didn't want to risk being at the front incase I had some Fulham fans behind me telling me to sit down, so I got back row to ensure I can stand up.

What happened to Pompey?

Back row of P4 as close to the Villa side as I could get, about 3 seats away from our normal section.

I had to in the end. Iv got 5 tickets in P4 Putney End, back row so it is pretty much in the away end. Fulham charge £1.50 booking fee on every ticket though, bit of a piss take.

Our ticket office are shit, really shit. Tried to book online the other day and got the message... 'Unfortunately, this time you don't have the correct privileges on your account to purchase tickets for this match. Why not return to ticket home and try another match?' When I clearly **** do.

16 players? Id like to know whos these 16 are..

From what Iv heard we offered 9m they want 10m and now nothings happening? Just give them the 1m for **** sake. Seriously, Villa piss me off.

TimothyAbraham Timothy Abraham Informed that #AVFC have yet to submit a formal bid to #WAFC for Charles N'Zogbia despite 'Sky Sources'.

Just give them £11m and be done with it.

Hes easily replaced. Znogbia is much better IMO, Iv been saying this for ages as well. Youngy will be a lot harder to replace, Downing didn't really offer anything that a 20m quid player should.

Teams never get replacements in before a player has gone now, what would happen if we say signed Nzogbia for 10m and then the Downing deal fell through or Liverpool pull out to **** us up and were left with two players in the same position? I know we need two wingers anyway but this was just an example. Downing is overrated and for 20m I think its good business, we can get Nzogbia for half that. -------Makoun-Delph------ Nzogbia--Ireland--Albrighton -----------Bent-------------- We would still have £30m to spend + whatever AM was given in the first place. We will score goals with that attack, put that money to the defence and we will be a lot more solid this season.

Walkers signed a new deal Andy. The only thing I dont understand is the figure itself. What did we pay £15mil? That was when he was at relegated Middlesbrough and with a broken leg. Yet Liverpool will only pay what 3-5mil more. That season he also played 37 games for Boro scoring a mindblowing zero goals! Yet after his second most successful season he's only worth a couple of odd million more than his worst! Has he? Ouch. Didn't know that, pretty gutted. We paid £10m for him rising to £12m and I think its safe to say we overpaid for him, like most of MON's signings were. I just dont rate him that much. Id happily replace him with Nzogbia and have cash left over, if we can do that then its good business IMO.

I don't want any of their shite players but for 20m Ill take him there myself. Hes not that good at all, plays simple football. After watching a video of his best bits it just made me miss Ashley Young! Sell him now and use half of that money on Nzogbia and the other half on Walker. Job done.

If we sell Downing for 20m and get Nzogbia in for 10m. Ill be **** delighted.

In terms of the fact we got nothing back for him then yes it is a waste, even back when we signed Big Brad I would rather we got someone younger and more long term. The top defences dont chop and change players every season, how long have Rio/Vidic/VDS been together? I know thats broken up now but you see my point. Given is a good keeper, Foster is a good keeper. Ill be fine with either, but from a financial aspect and going on the figures that I have heard then I know which one sounds like the better deal. I wouldn't mind about the club losing 5m if it wasn't for the fact we now seem to have a sell to buy policy and are trying to balance books.

Thats not the point. Foster for 9m even if someone like Spurs want him 4 years down the line, that fine. They can pay at least what we paid if not a lot more. Given? Thats just 5m down the drain IMO plus he will be on a lot more than Foster. And that point is also irrelevant Most contracts are around 4 years so chances are by your example he'd move on a free, or say he had one year left on his contract we wouldnt get what we pay for him. We spent 2.5m on Friedel so is that money "down the drain?" To me Foster and Given in terms of ability are very much of a muchness and in Givens longer career i'm fairly certain he's made less howlers than Foster has already. Like Pelle said there are few keepers that would excite me and non of them would sign for Villa. Given is a very good keeper. How exactly is it irrelevant? It should be the thinking of our club. Ashley Young had 1 year left on his contract and we got almost twice as much as we paid for him. Simple fact is Lerner clearly isn't prepared to throw money at the club anymore and we need to buy players that have resale value. Im not the biggest fan of Given however I dont mind if we were to sign him, but the point remains that we wont get any money back for him and the club makes a loss.

Thats not the point. Foster for 9m even if someone like Spurs want him 4 years down the line, that fine. They can pay at least what we paid if not a lot more. Given? Thats just 5m down the drain IMO plus he will be on a lot more than Foster.
