Jareth Posted June 10, 2016 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2016 6 new players in our first eleven, optimism around VP cos of Tony, the crowd are really gonna play a part this season. I reckon the stadium and crowd will blow any new recruit away. They will love playing there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted June 25, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2016 Redmond leaving Norwich will leave a big hole for them. A boost for us no doubt, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Ten million for them, if they spend it wise they can improve their team. Whenever I've seen Redmond, he hasn't looked that great to me, I'm surprised Southampton have bought him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banger75 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Villa paying $9.50 to win the Championship here in Australia...had some of those odds - optimistic I know, but I think they'll only go down from there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If we can dump this ill fated and inappropriate (for us) primma donna outlook and adopt a more Iceland approach to games.....We have a good chance of making an impact. I'm with a few other posters who say its too much of a tall order in the first season, due to the amount of remedial work. To change our outlook and culture change will be a tough task and a gradual one.....just hope RDM embraces it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Talk going around that Robin Li, is going to buy Wolves and appoint Julen Lopetegui as first team manager. If Li does come in, and spends big, then that will be another competitive team we're up against next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 We're currently not a team that can be considered for promotion, it is purely our name that makes us one of the favourites. It's still early, but Dr Xia has not followed any of his talk with action - Elphick is solid but fully within the realms of a Lerner type signing, especially considering we lost N'Zogbia and Richardson wages. Newcastle have strengthened significantly and quickly, but we're still in the pondering stage. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it won't happen but AS IT STANDS we would still struggle to make the playoffs. I hope after RDMs initial assessments have been completed, and the distraction of Euro2016 (although I doubt many players we could sign will be playing) that things step up a gear and we can return to this thread with a much better idea of where we are in the Championship pecking order. But if things haven't changed much in a month then I highly doubt promotion is on the cards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go down in a year when huge money has kicked into the Premiership, into a lower league which will probably be the strongest it has ever been. Typical **** Villa!

useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 That's what I was thinking, getting relegated with Newcastle was bad enough. But I've no idea how true these rumours are. Guillem Balagué has tweeted that Lopetegui will be appointed pending the Chinese takeover. That it's going to be Li, buying them is guess work at the moment I think. But if someone's bringing in Lopetegui then they must have resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
