MikeMcKenna Posted December 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2013 You have to hand it to them. They know exactly how to play sections of the support to take the mind off other, perhaps more important matters. I wonder how long it'll be until that Incognito fella returns on Twitter..... I know what you mean, but I would rather have some insight than nothing. Also allowing the fans to fester doesn't help anything. Lets face it, if PL doesn't manage to sign these key players and the situation doesn't turn round the fans will come down on him like a ton of bricks, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 maybe we agreed a fee for Barry? Would that negate the Everton loan fee? Why would Barry want to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 It just has to be Barry Bannan! I can think of at least one fan that would make happy. Currently playing better than all our midfielders at present if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 My worry is that if we were supposed to assemble a young squad before adding quality, the only quality we will have is the 'added quality' because all of our players bar about 3 are useless.

DelboyVilla Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The big worry for is that we still have to rely on Laurel and Hardy (RL & PF) doing the deal. However when you look back to Keane's loan his movement created chances, someone with his nous could make a big difference all round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Its just hard when the football is woeful and we’re leaking goals and no improvement is there.Its easier to kick off than think about it i suppose.It was never going to happen overnight, there have been times when we’ve played really well and times when not, more not..I assume when building something from scratch its not always rosey and is shit more than not, hopefully the plan being it begins to level out and then there are more good performances than bad.I think a lot of people would be honest in overreacting because of the fear of being relegated, natural i suppose.We looked more solid at the start, Vlaar was starting to look decent and overall we were better defensively. We didn't score as much, i imagine thats a bit of Benteke being injured and us being more defensive minded.No point getting rid now, lets see how the season ends.People like to laud over Southampton and Swansea but how long have they been ‘building’? Years to get to where they are now, the way some Villa fans act they would never have been allowed to get to their current position.**** it, nothing we can do anyway.

Even if that is the case I doubt they'd send him here to lie, they'd be taking too big a risk. It doesn't make good business sense. I'd rather be talking about this than again going over just how shit we are right now, what good is that doing us? It's just the same old crew tossing thinly veiled insults back and forth. Not for me thanks. You've confessed yourself you don't go the game, so tell me, what are your musings on this message board achieving exactly? How about let people speculate and enjoy themselves for a change. God knows we deserve it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaIRE Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) As for the awful football question......I clearly can't answer that! Still the same things in training as went on last year. I'd just suggest we've had too many key players missing at various stages and some of the plans haven't worked out as well. For example, if Tonev was on top form then you'd be included to develop a system which gets him in the best positions and on the ball as often as possible. But no-one has really stood up and been counted this season. I agree with this, players are too quick to get rid of the ball and are not giving 100% (I think confidence has gone, perhaps this stops them giving it all), it shows. This is where two or three players to take the game by the scruff of the neck is key. Agree with you here but, having a lack of confidence should not stop a player giving his all. This is where some members of the team need to share the responsibility of our failings. The second a player takes a salary he is being paid to do a job. He should therefore be somewhat robotic in his nature. I'd be very quickly disciplined if I stopped putting in the effort at work. As for the awful football, aside from the lack of individual quality, other teams have figured us out. All teams have been quick to close us down this season, particularly in our own half and that pressure has resulted in us 1) going back to Guzan to be hoofed up and lost or 2) directly making a pressure pass forward of which only ~ 50% go where intended (or if in the case of Nathan Baker, ~ 5%).
