I know we are only four days into January but we need quick action. I now believe we will sign nobody as the club are prepared for relegation. 20 Days in and absolutely nothing. Surely this demonstrates the clubs useless transfer strategy. We can either not attract anyone of any note due to our perilous position, are not willing to back Remi Garde with the required funds to have half a fighters chance, or have accepted the drop and will wait until the close season and plan for life in the championship. I hope i am wrong, but i believe even more so now that we will not sign anyone in this window and if we do it will be of the same ilk we have signed up to now!!!!

villa4europe Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The silence is a huge problem for us and has been always under Lerner If we are, like I'm guessing, after plenty of players but they're rejecting us because we're too far adrift, then why aren't we leaking that? If Liverpool were after a player but he was rejecting them because they haven't got CL they'd have half of their mob in the media questioning who the **** he thinks he is, why aren't we doing the same? Adobe, byram, if we were after them and they said no why didn't we put it out there and then get Merson, collymore etc to criticise them for being billy big bollocks? We do nothing, we have absolutely no clue how to even try and use the media to influence our own fan base let alone influence football Look at gold and Sullivan, pair of bellends, both can happily use SSN to punch above their weight, look at the venkys (the **** venkys ffs!) possibly the worst owners ever, at they knew to throw their fans a bone and put in stupid offers for raul and Ronaldinho Our owner and his band of merry men are sat in utter silence giving off one impression and one impression only - they don't know what they're doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 people here complaining that the club don't let anyone know what's going on... an article I read earlier in the day faults Remi for talking too much about targets so they become more complex and hijacked by others. damned either way, I suppose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Pretty sure Fox is meeting the trust tomoorewow so maybe we'll get a better idea of what's going on then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he will just day we're trying, doing our best etc etc. That may well be the case but I am sure they are almost certainly constrained by a limited budget, both in terms of wages and fees, and the fact it is difficult to sell the club to players given the position we are in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll speak some shit which will leave everyone in the meeting feeling excited. Then as soon as they analyse what he said they'll realise it was a load of crap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking apart, I know what you are saying here and think you are right. Bit of PR spin for an hour and get an appreciative applause but in reality think they treat us fans as being a bit dim.

MMFy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 We need to bring in a couple of good loan players, players who need minutes on the pitch before the Euros. A couple of good loanees and other players may be more convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Linked with Vidic in the sun. Oh dear. Randy always backing his manager. Poor Remi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2016 Didn't Vidic go back to Serbia and he's already signed for a Serbian team? Might be wrong though. Plus he's 34-5 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Given our position and the fact we have lost cover in Illori and crespo not sure we are in a position to turn our noses up at a free-Vidic. Also not comparing them but Gods knees were shot and he was/is a legend. Just saying. Edited January 20, 2016 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted January 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm not normally a negative nelly but I can't shake the thought that we'll announce Debuchy on deadline day and that will be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Remi is no mug, he would walk if the board failed to back him. Maybe they've said he could have a big wedge in the summer when there's better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
