romavillan Posted July 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2015 We could end up with Austin, Huddlestone and Tom Carroll (loan). If that was it in this window what would you think? I'd think some of our academy players better turn out to be shit hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2015 We need players badly but I don't think they have to be bought this week. A player valued at £9m today may go for £7m on deadline day for example. Yes but at the same time over 10% of our league fixtures will have been played in that time frame so surely the £2m extra would be worth the expense if it helped keep us up? Unfortunately we are not in a position to be gambling like this. Bums on seats now, no matter the extra cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We could end up with a copy of readers wives February 1986. Permed pubic hair, yuck. If that was it in this window what would you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody is going to be unhappy... Nothing to do with what the fans want for me, each position in the league is worth now nearl £2m. Going in understrength to 4 games to save a few million would be a very poor idea financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but at the same time over 10% of our league fixtures will have been played in that time frame so surely the £2m extra would be worth the expense if it helped keep us up? 10% of those league fixtures being against sides we should be taking 3 points off If we were playing the top 4 in those fixtures dead rubber games we could possibly wrangle out to the last day of the window but not with our fixtures we need them in ASAP The margins are that fine and we need every point we can get especially against sides that will probably be in a similar position to us at the end of the season Edited July 23, 2015 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittmann Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Have I woken up in a parallel universe? Palace > Villa.....are people seriously suggesting this? If, and it's a big if, we bid for Bolasie and it's accepted, I'm sure he would be desperate to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We've had plenty of links out there in the foreign press like the ones we've got used to over the years, so I'm sure we've got plenty going on. It's been less than a day since the Benteke money was confirmed, so I'm sure things will start moving quickly from now. I see little to suggest we won't spend most if not all the money too; Randy has never taken money out of the club and I see no evidence that he won't let Fox and Sherwood spend what the club earns. He is trying to sell the club dirt cheap by the sounds of things, so I don't see why he'd just sit on the cash, and if he was going to, I doubt we'd have spent our entire budget on a left back and one central midfielder. It still takes negotiation though and value for money is still important, so stay patient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2015 This window so far seems to be a bit like Lambert's first. We then had a shite start to the season and ended up buying three players on deadline day and trying to get Dempsey too. And a certain Belgian striker whose value has since quadrupled.
