ozvillafan Posted January 22, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2014 he took pressure off them by communicating with us. HH should have got a payrise not sacked. There is communication and then there is communication. The club would never allow leaking team lineups or transfer targets to anyone - it just undermines our position. Having said that, it would be nice if the club did communicate on some things - such as plans for the first team/club/stadium and the like.

Rovers13 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Is Capoue totally out of Villas price range? Spurs want around £9m, he's desperate to leave, and getting him and hoolahan in would pretty much complete the side for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think if he was here in an official capacity it wouldnt have been an issue (he wouldnt have disclosed what he did). I think he went a bit far with the line ups as he probably wanted to prove he was legit. I doubt Jose Mourinho was reading VillaTalk to find out our line ups but i know what you mean. I think he did well to calm the fans down.. and provide a bit of direction for the disillusioned. Exactly what we needed. I really hope he hasnt lost his job. If he had.. he could probably come on now and post? So hopefully he still retains his position. He was obviously close to Paul so maybe Paul forgave him? Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 HH was lowton ...dropped for disciplinary reasons(got caught posting) late for training because he was sending gentleman a pm, moved back to sheffied so Lambert couldnt see his browser history... it all makes sense now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could ask to pay in instalments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Agree with Samjp26 - £9m would appear to be well out of out price range. IF we did have £9m, it would be more beneficial to spend the majority of it (though not all) on an attacking mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powell91 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 lambert would never sign him firstly wages would be too high and im pretty sure i have read capoue has a bad attitude behind the scenes something which lambert will not like. lambert likes quiet players who turn up work hard and dont cause trouble.

IF we did have £9m, it would be more beneficial to spend the majority of it (though not all) on an attacking mid. I agree, that said though if we can bring Hoolahan in for cheap I'd hope we'd sign another player too. Even if we spend say £2m on Hoolahan, a £2m signing and 2 loan signings doesn't really say a great deal in terms of Lambert being backed. A defensive midfielder would be good, Capoue would be fantastic. Another attacking midfielder would also be good as if Hoolahan picks up a knock we're back to square one.

Shillzz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A defensive mid would be good, but I'll take it as an above average window if we sign Hoolahan. Defensive mid is a place where we can strengthen, but it's not a position that we're short of numbers for. If you assume Hoolahan comes in for KEA, then that leaves KEA, Bacuna and Sylla as backup for any of the central midfield places. That seems like adequate cover for the time being.

Dodgyknees Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 And apparently, Spurs - who like to pay less than a team demands when they sign players - want £12m for Capoue, they signed him for £9m!

Frobisher Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 They would probably see it as being shrewd. I certainly wouldn't mind if Villa were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
