  1. I don't see the problem with his comments. Actually find his honesty quite refreshing. Honesty? Give me a break. Nothing but delusion and disrespect in those comments. Maybe I haven't seen the full interview. All I see is how much he has always rated Vlaar and how he would love him at Southampton. He was asked the question and he answered it.
  2. In some ways I admire Lambert for sticking around but on the other hand I think he probably knows he isn't going to get a similar paid job elsewhere and it's very unlikely Lerner would ever sack him. He has thick skin though because boy is he going to get some stick this season justified or not.

  4. Dunno so much - If he leaves at the end of next season - we say loose out on an £8m fee - but relegation would cost us around £50-70m - Yeah we know that but this is Villa we are talking about. I'm basing my theory on the way things have been done in the past. It rarely makes sense.
  5. I was one of them that thought Man United would come in for him. They still may do. I don't think we would let him leave on a free. It's most likely sign a new contract or leave.
  6. Compared to our current state i'd say southampton are the better option, for starters they aren't owned by a man who doesn't want to be there. They've been completely stripped this summer but they have a good manager, lots of money and it's yet to be seen what the plan for their future is. We know what our future is and it's not clear we will manage to be sold any time soon. A manager that is completely unproven in the PL and he's actually spend a large portion of the money they've received already. BTW £10m for Bertrand if the want to sign him at the end of the season, no way! I'm sure Southampton future is as uncertain as ours since their Chairman left last season. Anyway back OT, If Vlaar wants to go, let him. We took a chance on him after a bad injury and as long as we get a good fee, I'm confident we can find a replacement for £5-6m How they spend their money is their business. At least they have money to spend and are spending it. I bet you they finish above us.

  8. The club could be run better and have a plan to be competitive again, that might encourage players like Vlaar to stay rather than join teams like southampton. Let's face it, it comes to down to wages at the end of the day. It's not even like Southampton have been that well run this summer.Even though they have sold all their key players I still think they are a better prospect than us. Wow what a quote. So what you're saying is that Southampton, who have sold the complete spine of their team and who we took 4pts off last season btw is a better option. Unbelievable I don't think Koeman would have taken the job unless he was going to be financial backed. We on the other hand are a bloody mess with no money and an owner that wants to get the hell outa dodge! What the hell has getting 4 points against them got to do with anything?

  10. If hes offered and not signed lambert should say if he dosnt want to be here its up to him. Vlaar was given a chance in pl he would not be worth much if hed stayed at feyenoord. Also if he had a shite wc we would still want him to stay. The takeover is not coming anytime soon according to ssn roughly half n hour ago i think we need vlaar more than he needs us. Yeah he's had a great time in the Premier League instead of challenging for titles in Holland. Although he has probably earned a lot more here.
  11. I saw a soccer centre in Brampton so went down to check it out and show them how it's done. Unfortunately it was closed. The one on Sandalwood and Dixie? It is only used during the winter for 6-aside. Are you from around Brampton? Yeah I think that's the one. Why is it only used in Winter? My in-laws live there so went a couple of years back. Nice place. Is that where you are?
  12. Has been stealing a living for 4 years, has had about 4 good games in his career with 12 months left on his deal and now wants a big fat pay rise. I actually feel sorry for Sunderland. The guy is a right cock. He kept them up.Deserves a pay rise. Not sure f serious.I'm serious. If I turned up to work 1 month in 4 years but in that month I saved the company millions I'd expect a pay rise. Well, if you're being serious, that's not right. Football contracts - like all contracts - are promises of reimbursement for work to be performed in the future. If all they want to do is say 'thank you', they can buy him a present. But he could probably get paid more elsewhere. Well, sure. There might be some mugs somewhere who are happy to award a guy a pay-rise because he performed for 5% of the time for his previous employer. But given he did 3.75 years of jack shit followed by a little bit of greatness at the end, we can either surmise he's brilliant but lazy (ie. unreliable), or useless but lucky (ie. a poor investment). Somebody who performed at 50% of Wickham's best, but did it throughout the lifetime of the contract, would in fact be a much better investment. Was he ever given a real chance though under MON?
  13. The thing with this Pelle is we've seen it before...Afonso Alves, Kezman, Babel, even Kuyt was only a success in England after being converted to a right midfielder. He scored one Seria A goal so I think that's worth reflecting on. Where was Suarez from again?
  14. It makes me sick to see Spurs and Evertons squad next to ours.

  16. I doubt either of it to be honest. The attraction is the Premier League and ££££.
  17. Spurs have got waaaaay to many players. I'd take any of them on loan.
  18. Because you're the bent fork of a fork. I beg your pardon!?
  19. This but Grealish instead of Bacuna and El Ahmadi instead of Westwood.
  20. For us hes a decent signing, i only saw him once last year against Real he didnt play in the other game and obviously the WC and i think hes exactly what we need. I'm excited because it's a position we need and he sounds the right type of player but as I know nothing about him and have never seen him play i'm just wondering how good he actually is. Sometimes you're only as good as the players around you. I'd actually like to see him, KEA and Delph in the middle. We need players that can press and Westwood isn't that good at it in my opinion.

  22. Now we got concrete at the back and a rock in the middle surely we will be more solid!
