What is a Brazilian musical genre and dance style, with its roots in Africa via the West African slave trade and African religious traditions, particularly of Angola and the Congo, through the samba de roda genre of the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, from which it derived. Doesn't seem to be that offensive 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back at last season without Kodja, we really struggled to score goals. If Bruce thinks our young strikers are good enough, then we could look to them, if not then I do think we need to buy. Personally i'd like to see 3 main strikers, Kodja Hogan and someone new with Gabby as a fourth choice. We know how hard the championship is, you need at least 3/4 good stikers especially with the amount of games you play each week and injuries which occur from this. Agreed, if Ross is not getting a look in as appears likely I think that we do need to bring in another striker on loan or permanently. I would guess a loan would be the better option with an eye on FFP. Could JT have another quick word with Chelsea or SB have another with Manchester United?

mottaloo Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I remember looking at my dad in sheer disbelief when he said that he was literally bored to tears after watching us lose at home to arsenal (when terry neill was their manager, late 70s/early 80s - mike pejic played that day...) He came over from Ireland in the late 50s and went to villa one week and sha the next, mainly to see the likes of Preston Bolton Blackpool Stoke or whoever had great players at that time. 35 yrs later i can totally see what he meant. Mediocrity served up by overpaid prima donna types is often seen as class and the word "legend" has lost it's true meaning. £18m for a rocket polisher like Andre Gray.....much more of this and i too could be done.

Popular Post alreadyexists Posted August 12, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2017 I don't personally care how rich people spend their money. I just like watching football and hoping my team will win. I really couldn't care less if Neymar is worth £20 or £200m, it's not my money, it's not affecting me in anyway, so I don't let it bother me. There is a lot of money in football, because its the most popular sport in the world, more fans = more money. It's undoubtedly 'obscene' to spend that much money on a footballer, not arguing with that, just that I don't let it bother me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 8I agree with many. The money being thrown around in football nowadays is just ridiculous. In my view the extra tv revenue that has came in should have been designed to be used more properly and stabalise teams finances etc. Instead it has all been pissed in the air on over inflated valuations and it gas sent football crazy. Like TRO it does not affect me.. but it is killing the game. When we have had a team locally to me Rushden & Diamonds who have gone into administration and sadly folded and one of the best stadiums for non league demolished. When you see and hear the values, fee's and wages brandished around now I find it absolutely astonishing and sickening. And now we have FFP that is only designed to keep the elite seperate from the rest of football leaving no chance for smaller clubs to ever catch up. The upper 1% compared to the poorer clubs and at this rate the gap will widen. It is just gone crazy and for the worst! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a game last week (Brackley v FCUM) and may go to one today local to me. It has reignited my love of the game. My interest is waning in top flight football. The players cheating and moaning all the time. The conduct of the clubs, the obscene amounts of money etc. There is not a lot to like about it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old you, if you don't mind me asking? I used to be like this, but the last few years of football have really changed me. I can honestly say I now only watch Villa, and even that is through stubbornness and love for the club. As for transfers, I think we'll maybe make one or two loan signings at the end of the window. But I expect a few more to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 young kids and they have both started enjoying it too! My attitude is, who cares if these clubs want to waste there money on shite. It's not my money. 11 v 11 on the pitch is the bit that matters and I still love watching that bit!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
