Mantis Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Do you honestly trust the club with the people involved (owner ceo and manager) to bring in decent players? After all that has happened in the last 3 years? Not a great deal but yes I do to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is now no way back for any of those 3 for me I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villa-revolution Posted January 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2014 Grant Holt will provide us with Premier League experience. He reminds me of Kevin Davies. He is a nasty piece of work & streetwise. I really can't see why people are getting their knickers in a twist & becoming so incredibly worked up about this signing. A short loan deal to replace Kozak & like Kozak another player who can take the weight of Benteke's shoulders.He can do a good job for us & Lambo will play to his strengths. I personally have no problem with this signing. None. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm glad some Villa fans have a level head. If Lambert uses him constantly (like mon uses his favourites) then fair enough slate the man. But this for now is a stop gap, we've been unlucky with injuries this season and hopefully does the trick. Really want to see more of Helenius though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I guess this is just the straw that broke the camels back. I feel under Lerner villa fans have become like beaten wives. It all started out brilliantly but soon started to go wrong and each time we get shafted we are promised it is about to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) No. I guess this is just the straw that broke the camels back. I feel under Lerner villa fans have become like beaten wives. It all started out brilliantly but soon started to go wrong and each time we get shafted we are promised it is about to get better. But this is just one inexpensive loan signing to cover an injured backup player. It's such a non-event. I don't really see how we're being "shafted" here.

villa-revolution Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 GENTLEMAN please can you PM the PM you received off Grant earlier as I don't want to take you for granted. I thought it might have been a bit RICH coming from Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough if we signed 2-3 more players that would make a real difference to the first team by the end of the month but like I said I have no faith in that happening.

I personally have no problem with this signing. None. The problem is we're not loaning the Grant Holt of 3 years ago, we're loaning one that's had very limited playing time over the last year, one of which has been described by Wigan fans as lazy, overweight and uninterested and a player that we saw rapidly decline and struggle at Norwich in his second season. My main point is, we have such a strict wage structure and general limited budget (no idea if there'll be a loan fee), every signing has to count, can we even afford to bring in players for cover, particularly in an area where we do actually have cover - we need people to push and break into the first team. I can't see how Holt is one of the best options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's only a 6 month deal. Of course I'm not jumping for joy but he isn't going to be starting up top on his own next match. Imagine if PL did this just for the troll factor after reading this thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
