Rds1983 Posted February 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2016 Man City are letting Bruno Zucculini out on loan again. I think he would be a great DM for us in the summer. Granted I only know him from FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lescott and Richards going nowhere Kallanic fell through cos of work permit League position has made it hard to sign anyone (I find it hard to believe that they couldn't find ANYONE who could improve our squad) Confirmed 'Financial Problems' for signing players He spoke to Doumbia but couldn't convince him to sign "Maybe late deals, why not?" Just bullshit really. The bloke has put out some ridiculous team selections but for the team not to have a striker in it because of the board's running of this club. Unbelievable. If they are looking to save money, how about getting rid of the crap scouting team that wasted £50million in the summer, and now no money is available, are surplus to requirements?

Richard Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 There are players in mid table championship clubs that could improve us. So if we cant sign them now, when we are still in the premier league and a remote chance of staying up, how will we attract anyone in the summer? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 We are truly screwed as a club. Cant help but notice that any championship club with a semi-realistic chance of going up are going all out to sign players for £5M+. Just today Burnley are after a CB from Brentford for £6m. We aren't even in this market any more. Our financial health is not good enough to be in this market nahtrally and our owners/chairman won't gamble again. I didn't think it would actually happen but next Forest/Sheff Wed is actually on the cards and we'll be reminded that we should be grateful that we aren't a Pompey/Leeds. Ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the fees. Then wages & the fees. Then league position. I didn't think they'd be so utterly stupid enough not to buy a striker to at least try to remain competitive, let alone look at getting promoted next year. What incentive is there to anyone who isn't a season ticket holder to go to a game now - other than the loyalty angle which they have already leaned on for far too long? An uncompetitive team that has nobody capable of scoring goals even semi-regularly. This isn't a club that is run like it should be in the top division. They get everything the deserve. The fans aren't though - and that's what makes it heart breaking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is our financial health really worse than Burnley? Or is this just a bullshit line from the tossers running the club (into the ground).

Zatman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I expect a few late bids 15 minutes before the deadline to show we at least tried. 3 million for Messi and 2.4 million for Zlatan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robbie09 Posted February 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2016 46 years as a STH and never until now thought of not renewing. Our owner and board have given up so maybe I should too? I'm normally quite optimistic about all things AVFC but we really are in a very sorry state.

Totally, I find it very hard to believe that at his interview the board outlined the plan of giving him a budget of Randy's piabs and a scab off Hollis' arse to rebuild the squad in Jan.

I just find it too painful to watch anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Richard Posted February 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2016 The club is a mess. It has been in a mess for years. Think of the biggest mess a football club could be in, and you are not even close. Ladies and gentlemen we are not even second rate anymore, this great and famous old club killed by the ineptitude of one man. Randy Lerner. Not only unable to compete in the league we are still resident in for three months but also proving we are unable to compete in the league we are going to. You think this season was bad losing to the likes of Chelsea, Ploip, Manure , Citeh, Arsenal and the mighty Leicester. Wait until next season when Brentford, Reading, Coventry and Burton beat us. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we're shit, I think you're being incredibly dramatic again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samjp26 Posted February 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2016 "Remi has to determine what he wants his squad to look like and who he's got in the squad who can play the style he wants to play. It's purely his decision." "If Remi Garde decides when it comes to January there are things he wants to do in terms of incomings and outgoings, that will be something he can recommend and have the ability to do." - Tom Fox, Liar and Executive of Aston Villa Football Club (November, 2015) 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
