KSV Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I think it's the French media having a bit of a joke due to the number of Jordans we've signed. Yeah taking the piss this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I hope we bring in a CB quickly. Then follow up with a couple of late signing towards the end of the window. That's what I reckon will happen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Gardener being rumoured as going back to Forest on loan. Surely that is the death knell of his Villa career as if he's not ready now he never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Buying players like a smaller version of Manchester City. So Paul Lambert wasn't a bad manager after all since Tim Sherwood has no confidence in making it work with any player who was playing under Lambert.

So Paul Lambert wasn't a bad manager after all since Tim Sherwood has no confidence in making it work with any player who was playing under Lambert. I think Tim would have liked to have kept Benteke and Delph, plus contracts were offered to Cleverly and Vlaar also. All the rest of Lamberts signings were crap, except maybe Westwood who's useful.

So Paul Lambert wasn't a bad manager after all since Tim Sherwood has no confidence in making it work with any player who was playing under Lambert. But Lambert couldn't get those players to play, otherwise he'd still be in a job. It's arguable that Sherwood got more out of the players than Lambert did, so i don't really see your argument. regardless of the quality of the players, we had a team who were used to and on the face of it easily accepted losing, are you really saying that the mass change of personnel won't at least bring a new refreshed attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I am sorry to say this, but I don't like all this buying...Feels like something Tottenham and West Ham would do. Yes, the team is better, but being a supporter is being able to identify with players. Right now, all is left from a potential starting line up is Guzan, Gabby and Clark. If they are replaced with new players...well it does not feel like my team anymore.This makes no sense. How did you feel when the players you identify with replaced other villa players when they signed? Aston Villa has been around for a long time and it doesn't feel like your club because some shit players who were here for a few years have been replaced? Makes no sense to me. And they were absolute shit. In 23 years supporting the club they were close to being the worst collectively I've had the misfortune to watch. I never really warmed to Benteke despite his obvious talent, Delph I maybe did but the way he left was a perfect bookend. The rest can go **** themselves. Utterly hopeless. Charming. And they say there is no loyalty in football... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Sherwood who got Lambert's players playing better than Lambert could? The team last year wasn't good enough and we've lost our two best players on top of that so big changes were needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not identity with players at all. Players come and go, the club is constant. I can admire players and get excited about them when they play for us, but that is as far as I go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well, people on here criticize Manchester City and Chelsea for buying the title, but Villa are no different. Just a team with less money, buying players of lesser quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we should have kept most of them and continued the Lambert transfer policy forward, that way, despite being absolutely shite, it will still feel like 'our team'. LOL what an absolute load of tripe, probably the biggest load of BS I've ever read on this forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you'd be more suited to lower league football. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
