  1. We were linked with Luis Alberto of Liverpool earlier in the window. He is an AM /winger.
  2. Apart from the odd crazy twitter post I can't knock Uncle Tony's approach. He has a clear, thought out business strategy for improving the club home and abroad, whilst employing people who are experienced in making that vision a reality. He had also committed significant finances to improving the team and back office processes. Who knows what might happen in the future, but we can only judge him on his approach so far... and so far so good!
  3. I think it's a bit harsh to criticise Valencia's goal scoring record at West Ham as he was played out wide most of the time. The few times I have seen him (mainly for Ecuador) he has looked decent in a central role.
  4. If you notice there is usually an advert before the main video. All about maximising revenue rather than narcissistic tendencies.
  5. You are right, the Hernandez deal will hinge on whether they can bring adequate replacements. This is why the Doc said it will probably be the last deal we do.
  6. Just seen this article. Hull currently have very little money for transfers due to being in limbo with their takeover. Selling Hernandez for big money will allow them to bring in more players. Interestingly Hull have been linked with a few strikers, which suggests that they may be preparing for life without Hernandez.
  7. It's Hernandez with Wells as backup. Originally Uncle Tony said Hernandez doesn't have a release clause and Hull don't have a manager so is difficult. How would be know this unless enquiries had been made?! Then he said the #9 would be the hardest deal to do and might be late in the window before it comes off. This ties in with the situation at Hull as they wait for the manager situation to be resolved. Dr T then said they were after a pacey international striker. Again this points to Hernandez. Seems the logical choice given the scraps of info we have.
  8. Bas Dost would be a major coup for us. But I suspect there are bigger clubs than ours after him unfortunately.
  9. It's not going to be Mariano... http://en.as.com/en/2016/08/20/football/1471697556_159273.html
  10. No offence Omar but your ITK about the proposed villa takeover a year ago was well off so I will take your comment with a large handful of salt.
  11. He doesn't appear to be injured either, so he has either done something very dumb again or is on the move.
  12. Morrison has now added a few Villa fan sites to his twitter following. He really is **** with us isn't he?!
  13. Hope it's not one of those Jasmine Live Web cam shows! That would be very disturbing!
  14. When MON left he took Gabby's playing soul with him as a momento.
  15. That is Xia's main aim for buying Villa. Tony is basically a chancer who, although has enough money to fund the day to day running of a football club, doesn't presently have enough to achieve his lofty ambitions. He is using the club to increase his own profile, credibility and contacts to further his business interests. The Indian academies are a perfect example. Get his foot in the door with politicians then cross sell his urban regeneration and health food businesses to them. In the long run this will be beneficial to both parties as he will get richer and in turn (hopefully) invest more in us.
  16. Add Bamford to this and I might just need to buy new pants!
  17. Samuelson allegedly has a chequered past and the worrying part is that the board is made up of his business partner and a long term associate of his, with samuelson being the most senior person on it. If he is doing anything dodgy there is no one who will report his actions, as anyone who is in a position to spot irregularities are allied to him. Although Xia is in control be is unlikely to be able to integrity check every little thing samuelson is doing due to being busy managing his other businesses. Samuelson pretty much has the power to do what he wants without any ramifications. That's scary.
  18. Don't you mean goodbye Dr Strangelove?! Would explain all the romantic nourishment for Ashley Young
  19. I go away for a few hours and come back to a load of stoned and pissed geezers philosophising about the perceived evil of money, the pros and cons of capitalism and mafia style hits on referees next season. Where are all the miserable old gits moaning about the state of the club's half time pies?! #wewantoutVTback
