Duffman Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Depends how much they have to spend and who they get but chances are they'll be going straight back down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 How deluded are the noses. The One I work with reckons they are in with a good chance of signing Darren Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 By the way, Premiership-Premiership loans should banned. If they had been, we'd probably have been relegated last season (sans Milner) On the original topic, it depends on what happens in the summer. With the new money that all clubs are going to have, a lot of their targets will be going elsewhere and they will struggle to attract players. A lot depends on Bruce's ability to scout for some gems. Something that he has never managed to do in his life. Of their current squad, only McSheffery is real quality. And that won't be enough to save them.

BOF Posted May 9, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2007 Larsson could be good for them. Jaidi is an old-school defender who can bang them in from corners at the other end and has proven himself at Bolton already. They always seem to have good goalkeepers (probably thanks to Spink's influence!), and if they can get Forssell fit we know he is quality. And McSheffrey. But they still need an awful lot of re-building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Larsson could be good for them. Jaidi is an old-school defender who can bang them in from corners at the other end and has proven himself at Bolton already. True, Larsson could make it. Jaidi on the other hand is extremely error prone. Over the course of the season he'll cost you more goals than he'll score. There must have been a reason that Bolton were happy to let him go to the Sty for a pittance. I think Forssell looks like he's on his way out...They took a risk with him and his injury (after Everton refused to take him) and it looks like it didn't pay off.

NICKTHEFISH Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 They have only got 5 players who are possibly premiership material. Mcsheffery, Jerome, Larrson, Doyle, Kelly. Maybe Muamba if they sign him. So they need a good six new players IMO including 2 new central defenders. What would really piss me off if i was a nose (thanks dad for making that not possible) is when you combine the wealth of the Golds and the little welsh rat, they are up there as one of the more wealthy clubs. But they never put there own cash in. ps. Did i mention i sincerely hope they go down after we've wiped our feet all over them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grievemeister Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I can't see who the blues will buy in the summer and who will want to play for them. There is nothing to attract anyone to that club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sort of sad that we will not be stuffing them next season, but we have bigger teams in red in our sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaceydeaceyaggro Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 They'll go straight back down. The standard of football in the Championship was diabolical this season and everytime I saw them play they were absolutely awful, and they fluked their way to winning games. When they came up 5 years ago I was worried because of the state the Villa were in, but this time I haven't a worry in the world. I'm gonna enjoy next season, and enjoy the on-going comedy of another relegation year at the Sty. I do believe I got it spot on. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Am I the only one (and I suspect I am) that thinks it was actually TOO easy for us last season? The derby sort of loses its appeal a bit when we know there's virtually no chance of losing. I didn't even get the chance to give a load of stick to Blue noses because they just admitted they were battered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastleBromVilla Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I think they'll get at least the play offs. The likes of Maik Taylor, Stephen Kelly, Liam Ridgewell, Sebastian Larsson, Garry O'Connor, Cameron Jerome, Gary McSheffrey, James McFadden and Lee Carsley, can't quite cut it in the Premiership, but more than good enough for the Championship. They've managed to keep most of their side together, so i reckon they'll do well. They've also got that Sone Aluko, supposed to be good, England U21.

RunRickyRun Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 it's a bumped thread from last year^^ Saying that.... a disastrous run at the start of the season, followed by noses doing what they do best (turning against their own team & board), and maybe they might drop again!
