Sure it's Stoke who choose how much he costs.
-
Almost two weeks on, I think it's clear he knows as much as we do!
-
Every window it's as if people think you just pay a simple fee and buy a player. I'm shocked every time how simplistic people imagine these multi-million pound deals to be. It's not as if there are other teams well aware that we have Prem TV money coming and have an interest in a) not selling their best players (Phillips/Webster for example) and b) getting as much money for those players and generally making decisions in their own interests. And no, you can't just buy 'from abroad' as if that's where all the cheap deals are. We got relegated last time we did that. We also spent 22million on a striker from Belgium, so it may not be quite as cheap as people imagine! It's certainly no sure thing anyway.

Haha great signing then! Just what we need.

And yet nobody has hardly seen him play in a year, and he is reaching the age where footballers can't play at the top level any more. And we are used to playing with pacey CBs and would have to change things to accommodate him.
-
Oh sure he's legit then. Unlike the abundant people who do that on twitter 20/30 times a day. Not just for Villa mind. There should be a list of ITK tropes. This would be pretty early on/high up it's so common.

2+0=18 + bidding war.

I do that every time! Fixeddd.

People would prefer imaginary players or players they've never seen. They seem to have forgotten the last time we were in the prem and signed some quality players from abroad, all of whom took time to settle, all in a season we were relegated. There's a lot of appeal in signing Phillips for me, not least the fact that he should take less time to settle, is young and looks really high quality.
-
Which is probably exactly what people said about Joleon Lescott before we signed him. I haven't seen Cahill play for a while... actually just had a quick look at his stats on Wikipedia and see that's no surprise as he played twice in the league last year. I also saw that he'll be 34 in December. I fear this signing and doubt it's true. He won't have the same level of player around him to bail him out and I don't want us to change the way we play for a slow CB. No for me.

You have no idea whatsoever what's going on, surely.
-
I've thought this a few times. You can work the loans well.
-
I'll only be interested to see it if it's on loan at another club!
-
Can we stop with this. Gayle was incredibly effective every time I saw him play. Hogan has never done anything for us other than score about three tap ins!

The Frankenstein's monster of Villa shirts. No thanks.

Ugly ugly v neck. The year before was so much better.
-
I was talking about when he was with us. I haven't watched the prem since we were relegated.
-
This is everything I'm thinking. Gueye was/is a good player but he wasn't that effective for us. We were a mess though, so it might have been hard for him to really show what he was about.
-
I thought he was still involved and doing our casualwear?
-
Last I saw Paris was in France!
-
I agree. He'd be an amazing signing. Do it.
-
He played four games and is currently playing for Ostersund in Sweden! Via a year in Mexico. I'm not sure Lazio are what they once were. No point to this other than it seemed a funny example.
-
Phillips looks better than Gueye to me. I have been really impressed! He's so tenacious and quick. It's hard to tell when he's playing in the Championship, but I think some people are underestimating him. DMs like him are not abundant everywhere either.
-
From the playoff team I can think of about five!
