Seems to be the same line as last season when they were positive Benteke was gonna go and be sold for a pittance because the board have no backbone.

foreveryoung Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 If people seriously think we'll go back to spending half decent amounts on players whilst Randy is in charge they're off their heads. There is no 'plan' that will result in us going back to spending fees and paying wages that are in fitting with a club of our stature. I've even read some posts saying we'd have to sell Benteke to fund new signings. WAKE UP. If we sell Benteke for 20m, whoever the manager is would be lucky to get half of that and about 40k a week in wages as their budget to not only replace Benteke but to bring in other players too. Randy's lost all interest apart from trying not to lose money (he should've thought of that when buying a football club of course) So until the ghost sells up, we're stuck treading water at best. I've accepted that. It's just a shame we can't get some watchable football as a even a basic treat in the meantime. Are you in the (Lerner) family cause you seem to know a lot of facts. This is complete speculation. My speculation is, Lerner will spend money, he does not want us relegated under any circumstances. There is a plan weather he will start spending lots again is guess work. Yes I believe AV is for sale, but only for a figure Lerner set (like Everton). Sorry went a bit off thread!!

Bunnski Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 11 days now to get some business done before our next match..Hoolahan has been on the bench for his last 4 games so I can see him doing everything to make the move to Villa happen. Might need to get a right back in now as well seeing as Lowton is being a bell end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 We've made two signings but they're both on loan, bring in Hoolahan and Naughton on permanent deals IMO. We can rectify other midfield problems in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry went a bit off thread!! speculation that 90% of the forum. IMO the arguments \ indications that Randy won't spend are far stronger than those that say he will....

villan-scott Posted January 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hopefully with a decent break before our next game we can get our centre of midfield sorted. I think PL will be able to get one or two in, after the last 2 moral boosting games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Looks like after the performance today we dont need to much. Get a decent CM in this window and it could be party time for us Villa fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It also means risking relegation for a season or two until ther funds can go to quality vs. quantity. I find this bit very interesting. If you thought we'd be in a relegation battle last year you were laughed at and mocked. Now its obvious we were risking it for a couple of years. Don't remember many posts last year saying another relegation battle was expected this year. It just seems no matter what happens a certain group will just change their expectations in order to support the manager. Is it not more a case of fans generally wanting to be positive about their club, despite the facts bought before them and then adjusting their expectations as the enourmaty of the situation unfolds? Besides, we're not in a relegation battle that I can see. We're 10th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 So, which Championship player are we signing tomorrow to completely deflate the mood on here after today's good result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just out of interest would anyone take Josh McEarchran off Chelski? Pretty decent on the ball but we've got enough stick insects in the midfield, we don't need another one. We need men. Grrrrrrr. He looks like Barnie from The Simpsons.

abdomlahor Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 One thing we need is a backup Gabby. Someone who can really stretch teams with pace on the left. That would be one of the priorities in the Summer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
