Gary Thomas Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Well, there's been lots of tweets, speculative discussion and puns flying around for a few days now, but still no actual signings. No doubt we are busy working away, but would like to see a few good signings done soon. Around 21 days left - still a lot of business to be done I think.

VILLAMARV Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 What's the deal with the Championship window after the Premier League one closes? we can still buy people through September right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 I just really hope the midfielder Tony was referring to is that lad who was always going to reject us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 Unfortunately I think it will be like someone said on here a few weeks ago. A lot of our business will be done late when some of our targets realise they aren't going to get a better offer from a PL or overseas club and will have to drop down into The Aston Villa founded football league. Unfortunately we no longer dine at the top table and they will all be sniffing around for empty chairs before moving onto the floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really makes you despair, everything which is wrong with modern football right there. Steer well clear I say sounds like trouble especially if he has gone AWOL. Exactly. Going on strike to force a move. We can do without players like that. Its not just about ability, its about their personality nd attitude as well and he fails massively on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Just now, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Benteke went on strike to join us... Yeah and he couldn't wait to leave us.after his first and third seasons. I'm sure it would have been the same after his second season if he wasn't injured. I'm not knocking his contribution to the club, it was immense, but I'm a bit old fashioned... I like to see people actually care about playing for us instead of seeing us as a stepping stone like Gana 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not let the facts get in the way of a petulant comment eh If he had real ambition, we would have kept the high earners and let them train with the kids whilst also making signings. That would be a real signal of intent! As it stands he has done nothing to warrant praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The most impressive thing so far has been the sheer volume of people we've been able to get off the books. Of all those gone, I'd say only Gana would have been a starter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get another DM or a solid CM by the weekend that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
