I'd rather play the under 12's this season than the likes of Lescott and Bacuna. They should just have their contracts terminated. Yeah you'd still have to pay them off but at least they would be no where near the club with poisonous attitudes. We should have done hell of a lot more because you and Richard say so? What do you think they are doing? Do you not think if it was possible that they'd have done more right now? We're not an attractive club and we're clearly targeting quality that either a) need to be replaced at their current club or B) are waiting to decide wether to commit to the championship and a team like us. I'd also imagine there's hundreds of other reasons why signings have taken longer than the club would want. The owner has said there will be signings and we need to be patient. The manager has said there will be signings and we need to be patient. Frankly, if you choose not to be patient then that's your own foolish fault. Crying and getting worked up isn't going to change anything. Both men have done nothing to make you think that their word isn't good enough at this point.

DCJonah Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 For those who aren't happy we haven't made massive changes. Cast your mind back to last summer and have a look how doing that panned out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell we are 3rd favourites in a 3 horse race for Sundays game Sheffield Wednesday 6/5 Draw 11/5 Aston Villa 12/5 When RDM was appointed he said Villa were like a house that needed to be knocked down and started over. We haven't even broken a window or kicked a door in yet, 2 or 3 in and out isn't anything like the wholesale changes needed and we still have just about all of the absolute crap from last year that got us here in the first place. For those that hadn't noticed our season starts in 5 days and in trying to completely overhaul one of the worst teams ever to grace the premier league we have signed a young keeper who could be great or could be useless, a defender who was injured for nearly all of last year and a young midfielder who again was injured for most of last year. Holloways prediction of 16th is a damned sight more realistic than the bookies 3rd. how has this post got a single like? wtf. yeh the multi-billion industry in predicting results are the insane ones. and the biased idiot holloway is the realistic one in predicting league table finishes. good one. i hope you enjoy all the money youre going to make because youll be basically printing money if the betting line is as wrong as you think it is.

Players that pretty much nobody wants on big money and long contracts are not easy to shift. The context of my post was that my suggestion that it will be a similar team next week to the one that finished last season is NOT like predicting the lottery numbers. I don't know what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to stop. Plain and simple. What is wrong with this tweet, then? I do not understand. If Ghana and Clark have told RDM and Xia that they will stay and they quickly thereafter are leaving, I think anyone associated with the club, including you and me, have every right to be pissed off. This regardless of whether we are actually happy with these players leaving - it is all about showing Aston Villa FC some F****** RESPECT! I doubt he is lying on this subject (do you?) and if so I think this provides information which is quite unique and interesting (do you?) and which explains some of the difficulties with transfer windows (you know; i.a. why we do not just sign a lot of players NOW). So yes, I am prepared to defend this tweet, there is nothing wrong with it - Clark seems to have played our club and deserves to be outed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thomas Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I agree his tweets are unprofessional and he is trying to connect with the fans, but lets remember he is from China and and language cultural niavity does come into this. Some of his posts seem to be mimicking some of the lanuage and crap you read on twitter and forums - not a good idea and I am sure he will quickly learn what 'he' writes has much bigger consequences. The flipside, I like that he is speaking honestly - not giving us diluted sterile soundbites that are so "safe" they tell us nothing. Edit - if he helps build a great AVFC I could care less what he tweets. Edited August 2, 2016 by Gary Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
