    I work with Stoke, Baggies, Wolves and Blues fans and they all feel Villa have it better than thenm during transfer window.

    Why is it embarrasing? From what the reports are, we were told £9 million would be what we need, we bid that. It gets rejected yesterday, with the chairman saying we nee to be £10 million. Now, it is most likely that we will pay the £10 million, but surely when you are agreeing to pay out them kinds of amounts, it needs full authorization etc. It's not football manager where you just bounce the bid they require straight back them.

    Maybe we gave him a 5 year deal to pay him a lower weekly wage. Good way to lower wage budget for fair play rules. Anyway, cracking signing

    Pretty sure everyone said the same thing when we gave 37 year old Freidal a 3 year deal.

    Bruce has just confirmed that Sunderland wont be going in for him, he has said the deal is to expensive for them.

    I couldn't disagree more, for me Given is a far more ambitious signing that Foster, who like most English players is vastly overrated and will probably have about as much sell on value as Given in 3 years time.

    Would you want them to turn it down and let it drag on all summer?

    He couldn't get the best out of Darren Bent but Houllier and Steve Bruce managed too. Maybe Hutton is the other player in the world that Redknapp never managed to get the best out of.

    I couldn't care less what he said. It's his ability I'm not sure on, I wasn't when we signed him and I'm still not now. However, McLeish can get him playing well then that's another position sorted without signing anyone.

    Agree with this, Ben Foster look average at best when he was at Man U, and I never thought much of him at Watford, however now he is worth 10 million and he's two years older than Guzan. Guzan is still young for a keeper, there is talent there so maybe a new goal keeping coach can sort him out.

    Think that is extremely harsh on Albrighton. We do need more than two wingers, no doubt about that and we wouldn't want to rely on Albrighton all season so if N'Zogbia came in I would start with him and Downing. However, when he played consistantly in the team, he was one of our best players, it was when he was in and out the team when he struggled more. So to say he's no good enough, I would completely disagree.

    If there is still an issue with his shoulder then surely that will show up in his medical? We never signed that French lad because of a problem that came up in his medical.

    When have Arsenal or Spurs ever signed a decent player off us? It just doesn't happen. And if they brought Foster they wouldn't be either.
  14. roadoftrinity
    Well I would call them better than Phil Bardsley who you chose to name. Unfortunately Zidane has recently retired. I think any suggestion of signing top class players, I don't even remember it been said, would be down to naivety other than trying to lie to the fans. Anyone with half a brain would know that we would struggle to sign really "top class" players.

    And we signed John Carew in the same transfer window as well, along with Ashley Young. Strange how you forgot that isn't it.
  16. roadoftrinity
    End of the transfer window is probably the best time to see if we can.
  17. roadoftrinity
    Exactly, if McLeish makes Downing stay, it will show McLeish in a decent light as well. So what, we will lose a bit of money when/if Downing leaves next season, but he will only get to go to a decent club if he plays well for us all season.
  18. roadoftrinity
    All the clubs are fighting to snap up NRC aren't they.
  19. roadoftrinity
    Lets be fair, if somehow McLeish can get him to play well next season and do something for the team, then I couldn't really give a shit what he said about Birmingham. You can be pretty sure he isn't the first, and wont be the last football that we sign who doesn't really like Birmingham, Ireland is just a bit more stupid in interviews.
  20. roadoftrinity
    If you read the press today, basically they don't have a clue what is happening with Downing, nobody does at the moment. One thing we know, from with Gareth Barry and Milner, Villa are more than happy to play hardball over player values. Why would Villa sudenly change this and let our best player from last season go for less money than he is worth to us?
  21. roadoftrinity
    Would you prefer it if everyone was on here crying saying we are finished? If he leaves we just have to accept it, losing both is a massive loss and every Villa fan knows that, but we are a bit stuck if he kicks up a massive fuss and insists on leave. We make him stay, the fans will get on his back so quick when he bottles a tackle.

    Isn't Andy Carrol in Barbados? There were pictures of him there over this week with Rooney/GMac etc? San Miguel in Barbados?
  23. roadoftrinity
    Same as if you looked on Sky yesterday, the headline would say "Hughes to Villa". In the video, it is just saying he is one of the favourites along with Mark Hughes.
  24. roadoftrinity
    All that video is saying is that Anchelotti is one of the favourites for the job, no where does it say he is going to take the job.
  25. roadoftrinity
    No, it's a question, which I followed up with an explanation on why I believe Hughes would be leaving. I ain't that interested anyway so don't worry about it.
