Hi General,

I was wondering if you could describe how a transfer really works from the club's position. Without mentiong other clubs/fees/agents names/players etc.

I think it would be great for the fans to actually see the long drawn process, which I think it is.

For Example.

Monday.

We faxed our interest X club for X player.

Wednesday

Club X replied and said the player X was not for sale at any price. THE END

or

Wednesday

Club X replied and said the player X was available

Thursday

Club decided that club X overpriced the player.

Thursday - Monday

Clubs agree on a price and inform player's agent

Tuesday - Club meet player's agent

etc..

Would be brilliant if you inform us of the process, I am not looking for a script for every interest we have made or as such, just one would do.

Milner has just scored an absolute cracker against manure. Excellent strike...

General:-

Its an hour and 27 minutes into the opening of the transfer market and no signings yet!! Whats going on?

Happy new year general.

That is what the Villa Fans are to Martin's Marines!!

I like it thanks General.

We have had "Big Fat Ron's Army" when Ron Atkinson was manager. Since then, the managers' have had a few names to associate the team but nothing stuck..

Martin's Marines... some people may think its very "americanised" but I think it sounds cool, kind of catchy...

An advert with Villa players featuring with marine outfits with Martin + General leading them maybe pushing it a bit but would capture headlines

Merry Xmas and Happy new year General.

I think we will sign perhaps 2 players at most, 3 pushing it...

A striker looks very likely...a right/centeral midfielder is what MON will be after i reckon.

come on guys, decent jokes please.

Two guys are talking over a beer, discussing various sex positions. The first guy says his favorite position is the "rodeo." The other guy asks what the position is, and how to do it? The first guy says, "You tell your wife to get on the bed on all fours and then do it doggy style. Once things start to get under way and she's really enjoying it, lean forward and whisper in her ear, 'Your sister likes this position, too...' Then try to hang on for 8 seconds."

Fantastic ideas General.

The Hotle Inn sounds good but the wall with name inscribed to them is fantastic stuff.

Welcome to the board General.

Oh my, what a change from the previous regime (Ellis)... I think the USA might want to make clones of you and send to Iraq...

Ok, back to topic...

General do you/board have any plans for a Villa TV channel like Manchester United, Celtic, Chelsea have?

Huntelaar 23. A natural born finisher, brilliant in the air. Okay I know another impossible target, certainly in January, probably in the summer too if United keep up their interest but hey you never know.

Huntelaar over anyone else mentioned here. Good call.

hated talksport. were so shit/biased i couldnt stand them. 5 live anyday though dunno whats changed in a year

And what do you mean Kalim when you say you haven't had a radio since you got sky, sky has more radio channels than any other possible source of radio. must be over a hundred of the feckers and some of them are quite good, play them through a stereo and they sound ace. Both XFM and 6Music are there plus a couple of other decent stations.

I know mate, but never saw the point of listening to Radio on TV! LOL. Only time I remember doing so was when the Villain radio was there and I was unable to get another source. Anyone know what happened to that channel?

Thats it, decided I am gonna get a radio again, a year and half without... is too long

Do you own a radio?

I happened to mention here that I don't own a radio, which was met with some surprise.

To be honest, I like radios!! Only in the last year, ever since I got sky installed I have not had one. I used to listen to five live non-stop back then.

I do listen to online radios now and then though.

Who else doesn't own one and how long have u not used a radio for?

Did you go to school with Cresswell?

craft, that is **** class

An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded Doctor's Waiting Room. As he approached the desk, the Receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?"

"There's something wrong with my dick," he replied. The Receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded Doctor's room and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said. The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and then discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private."

The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people things in a room full of others,if the answer could embarrass anyone."

The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.

The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.

The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"

"I can't piss out of it," the man replied.

The Waiting Room erupted in laughter.

What does John Cresswell look like?

Is it

a)

c)

OR

d)

RABBIT?!!?!

After lancs great effort you had to spoil it didn't you? :x :x :x

The question was if Davis had OVERTAKEN Hendrie... most people's replies here suggest that they are basing their opinon on the potential of Davis.

My answer is no he hasn't. But he has the potential to surpass Hendrie by a mile...

Come on guys... any new jokes?

Yup, joined Villareall on permanant basis from Barca. Love to see him at Villa but he won't...not under DOL's style.. he is the key playmaker, does not tackle or track back... it's not his game.. doubt many teams in Premiership would sign him though he could walk into every team. Just a different style over here...
