  1. The way your original post came across was as if RDM is deliberately not accepting bids and you were in a sense telling him to buck his ideas up, not saying that's what you meant but that's how it came across.
  2. Lol I've actually really enjoyed the last few months. Very encouraged by it and optimistic for the season ahead. i do even think some of the dross players might actually be the players they were meant to be last season, the black cloud of having an owner with no ambition for the club has gone, the future of villa is exciting and these players will want to up their game to be a part of that. Granted Bacuna probably can't up his game, but the rest probably will. No need to panic.
  3. Bridcutt is very good at championship level and imo would be a good signing for us.
  4. Going to enjoy this season a lot more then the last 5, that's for sure.
  5. "Cos it feels so guilty without me"
  6. Just signed for Leyton Orient in league 2!
  7. Well we are now the equivalent of Man City in the championship, think we will be paying over the odds for players, but hopefully it will get us all the targets we want.
  8. Unbelievable, he's back in the premier league before us!
  9. This is good news all round
  10. On plus some, next seasons FM should be great fun!
  11. But maybe, just maybe, he might have the financial clout to do whatever the hell he wants and buy whoever he wants at any price, then all of a sudden his dream doesn't seem so crazy.
  12. Think he is prepared to splash the cash to get there tho which is a massive bonus, I don't think he will stop until he gets his goal either. i fully expect Villa to finish in the top 3 this season.
  13. I honestly think RDM won't take no nonsense, let's not forget he's been a top player, won countless things, this idea that we need a disciplinarian is rubbish, course he's going to discipline them, he knows what he is doing by all accounts.
  14. Tonev and Bowery.... Trying to forget we signed them.
  15. Surely this guy could recommend some young up coming superstar goalkeeper for us?
  16. I cannot believe he's managed to stay at the club for this long, he's never been of the standard I would've expected from an Aston Villa player, tho having been spoilt on some of the world class defenders we have had, maybe I'm just being too harsh on him?
  17. I think our transfer dealings will be pretty much like the last few seasons, not necessarily in terms of quality (hopefully) but in the fact we won't have heard of most of them. Tho I'd also like to think if money isn't an issue, why couldn't we try and get top fringe players from their clubs, im sure if the money's good and they are playing with the notion they are joining a club that in a few years will be challenging for Europe then why not consider a move to Villa?
  18. Completely forgot about Kozak, he could possible do some damage in the championship! Tbh although the team was completely pony last season I do actually still believe with the right set up and management, it's a squad good enough to win the championship imo.
  19. As a manager coming into a new job with a massive task on, where exactly do you even begin, I imagine most players are off on their holidays, so there's no one to really talk to regards contract terminations etc, and no one to train or implement systems etc. What do you actually do? I guess you wait for takeover to happen, then finalise any deals you've set up? I've literally no clue what a manager does in pre-season mid takeover limbo.
  20. This is the thing, clearly at some point these players were highly rated, wtf happened to them?!
  21. Sure there's some people out there who thought the same about Villa the season we finished 9th.
