Just think this summer the pre season excitement, new manager along with a few freebies and loans....then the season kicks off. I remember feeling a little excited before the Bournemouth game, that soon end after the 1st 5mins it was apparent that we were bloody awful. I just hope that Lerner goes sooner rather than later.

Is he dead? Is someone having a party???? Tbh it's all a bit pathetic really, the sooner Lerner sells up the better but honestly I can't agree with this type of song. Not quite as offensive as the Tracy Andrews song but it doesn't reflect good on our support.

Ayew is hit and miss but he's one of the few players I'd like to keep, along with Amavi. Okore all depends on his knee but again he's one of the few who haven't (imo) let us down this season. Veretout tries hard but I can't make my mind up if he's going to prove he has what it takes or not, unfortunately I fear he's out of his depth. Gana is bloody awful along with Sanchez, Richards, Hutton, Bacuna, Gestede, Clark, Westwood, Guzan, Sinclair, Richardson and CNZ. They all need to GTFO. Just about passable is Lescott but not alongside Richards. If and it's a big IF Remi Garde desides to stay with us I don't know how he's going to prevent another drop without being able to spend more money something that Hollis is against doing. We are in a far worse state than we were in 87.

I will never set foot in VP while Randy Lerner is the owner of Aston Villa. Granted that's easy to do living in Oz but I've been back a few times, brought the new shirts etc but I will not waste another penny while he's the owner.

CI will save us, at least in the long run Hollis has said it so it must be true.

Thanks for trying Remi, good luck at your next club.

Oh the suspence......

An exciting day.....for other clubs and their supporters for us it's just another Monday.

Sell, sell, sell.

All mouth and no trousers. He had great promise several years back but he's a liability now, hopefully some other club will take him...preferably in this window.

The day Ellis 1st received interest from Randy Lerner.

This.

Imo Remi Garde is too good a manager to be at a club being run the way we are. I wouldn't blame him if he walked, I'd be gutted because he's by far the best manager we've had under Lerner, pity he wasn't around at the beginning. For our sake I hope we get a couple of player's RG wants in before the window closes because if not I think it might give RG reason to rethink his position.

Oh it can be much worse Dem, out could go Ayew and.....ok I admit I'm struggling to think of another half decent player but whoever and in comes either no one (like so far this window) or player's not even the noses would be interested in.

Is he a forward? No then move on. Hollis talking about not wasting money, well sorry Mr Chairman if this deal goes through then I believe once you look back in the summer you will realise you have thrown money away on a RB that's not required. He might be an improvement on what we currently have (Richards is good enough imo) but our number one priority right now should be a goalscorer, buy as many full backs as you like but it will not alter that.

Well HV that's six week that we don't have to watch the "tree" (planted to the spot) play so it ain't all bad Obviously our position will make it difficult to find good player's willing to come in without relegation clauses but surely there has to be at the very least a forward brought in this week, what am I saying? this is AVFC under Lerner. As you were nothing to see here.

Wow we obviously must be watching different player's, Grealish is not a striker from what we gave seen. I can hardly think of him even having a shot, besides he's slow as. As for Gabby, I'm almost tempted to write ditto apart from his pace. Sorry mate but neither of these are the answer right now.

WBA have to be the most boring team to watch I've ever seen! And that's after all the suffering we have had for the last 5 yrs. We badly need a striker who can score. Special mention to Ayew, how much did you have to drink Friday night mate?? He played like some of my mates on a Sunday morning after a skin full the night before, legs and brain not working together Buy a forward now!

Why stop there? Conference here we come!

Nothing surprises me with the way Aston Villa are being run into the ground by this board. That said I don't believe twitter bs although the longer we go without signing a player this month the more I worry that the "infrastructure board" have decided they know best. I just hope we don't lose RG because he's the only one who seems to have the answers. And that's with a very limited squad. We've known better times lol.

Again wtf, re my above post. On topic, what is Hollis talking about "infrastructure"? I know what the word means but what is he referring to changing if not player's??? Every time I read his comments I get more pissed off.

No Steve that wasn't my meaning, I don't think Lerner is actively saying no signings but he controls the finances and so far all we have is a few rumours about a keeper. This team needs strengthen with good player's which will cost money that he is seemingly unwilling to sanction. Randy Lerner is possibly the worst thing to ever happen to Aston Villa imo.

No idea why my above post is quoting Arj but the only way I could get rid of it was to post it???? Anyway, it's the 21st and not 1 new player has signed, even on loan. Hollis must think he's a miracle worker, I'd love to read his CI project for this. With every day that passes by I dislike Randy Lerner more and more. Love Villa hate Lerner.

Sorry but we can't afford sentiments for Guzan. If he's not performing then he has to be dropped, Bunn has done okay so deserves him chance. I hope Guzan can get his shit together again but honestly I'm unsure if he's capable of doing so, if we sign a new keeper then I think he'll be on his way out.
