danceoftheshamen Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So is this meltdown signing still occurring Richard? any news? or is it all up in the air..... I am assuming Holt wasn't it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Don't see it and to be honest we don't need any more strikers now. We do! This is Lambert's preferred team: --------------- Guzan --------------- Puncheon -- Klose --- Scotland -- Heskey Weimann --- Bowery --- Helenius -- Gabby ------------ Benteke -- Holt ---------- If only Kozak hadn't been injured Oh well, Guzan will need to stay in goal until he's back.

Pilchard Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 using arguments the way he does because he is pissed off about all things Villa (so saying we pay YTS, saying Baker is a wimp etc etc) actually detracts from any valid criticisms he wants to have So why did you join him in it then? So which is it? Do you believe we pay Premier League standard wages and the manager has bought dross, or do we pay wages not good enough to attract better players?

abdomlahor Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Words cannot describe the state of joy i'd find myself in if we signed Klose. But why would we need him? We have Grant Holt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Holt at Wigan and Klose at Lazio on about similar wages apparently... Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2014 Holt at Wigan and Klose at Lazio on about similar wages apparently... Crazy Outside the biggest clubs there's not a lot of money knocking about in Italy at the mo. The days of Erikson's Lazio buying the title are loooooong gone. Klose was a great player, not sure how amazing he'd be as part of a fast counter attacking team these days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England is about the only place were the wages has not been affected by the financial crash in Europe. Even the crappy teams (except us) still pay silly wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 typical Lambert signing, never heard of him. so he must be shit I am sorry, but you never heard about Klose? The man is a legend and one of the most prolific German goal scorers - EVER. 35 years old, he would still be a fantastic asset for Villa. even as a coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We don't have the players to get the best out of him, if it were to happen. I'd be happy if it did. Infinitely better than Holt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSepulchrave Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) This as well as Holt? At this point, I'm really confused. Even during all those players coming in during the summer I could see the reason, but it's all beginning to look like there's no real plan behind these transfers.

kevangrealish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 As mentioned i don't see it happening as he's probably not a 'proper man' meaning he can't go down the aston social and knock back 16 pints after every match like Holt would. Oh god... I really have to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your ITK spidey sense say? Not sure how I joined him, I pointed out his argument was factually wrong and said i felt it was more to do with his general unease at all things Villa, hey ho On the wages argument, not really on topic of this thread but as you have asked, not every club in the premier league has the same budget and not every premier league club pays the same wages for players. There is no set list by which you have to pay wages of a certain level for a premier league player or championship or league one etc. Do we pay premier league wages ? Yes Do we pay high level ? No Are our wages comparable to other clubs in the league ? I'd say overall the total budget probable yes to some clubs but certainly not those at the top end of the table See not sure your argument on the wages is as clear cut or black and white as you make out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're talking about the Premier League paying the players wages, in which case it's wrong as this doesn't happen. See, I can be anal with semantics too Are our wages comparable to other clubs in the league ? I'd say overall the total budget probable yes to some clubs but certainly not those at the top end of the table HairyHands said otherwise. I know you are incredibly ITK and all that, but he had a bit more credibility so if it's all the same I'll believe him. See not sure your argument on the wages is as clear cut or black and white as you make out Not quite sure what this even means let alone is in respect to. I suspect it's one of those dodging techniques to avoid answering a perfectly normal question. Still, when the backing comes, and that meltdown (for the right reasons) player comes I'm sure all will be good.
