Danishlad Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Sign Benteke, get Young and Albrighton and get crosses into the box. Put Jack in the middle to glue it all together. Top six before you know it. Cheap too! Edited January 10, 2020 by Danishlad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe wait and see how the rest of the month pans out before letting the despair set in. There’s no despair. I’m just questioning the links so far. I’m hoping we up our game these last 2-3 weeks of the window. Sorry for not following the crowd in blind optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 5 hours ago, Spoony said: Because we are awful and have been for years. We are in a relegation battle and don’t have any immediate history to back up anything other than relegation or staying up and fighting for top 15 next season. If I were a half decent player and not a Villa fan Villa would be pretty close to the bottom of the list of PL teams I’d want to move to. We just have claret and blue tinted glasses and cling to our “history” (which for me was all before my time and as such Villa have been awful for as long as I can remember except that brief period under MON when we won...nothing). Could've said all that about Wolves very recently. Three seasons ago they were below us in the championship table with Paul Lambert managing them and Andi Weimann their star striker. Now look at them. However they've got them they've attracted 3-4 top class players and also got in a manager with good european pedigree. If they can do it we can do it but we really do eventually need to show more ambition in the transfer market and not just show limited interest because we don't think players will want to move from London or whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Just now, Kiwivillan said: Wolves had dodgy dealings through super agent Mendes. It still stinks of a rort Yes I accept that (mind you didn't Mendes get in AEG and that random Portugal keeper for us last season) but I doubt any Wolves fan gives a toss on that watching likes of Neves, Moutinho and Raul Jimenez every week. Easily the best players they've had in 20 years. I want to see that type of quality playing for us in next 18 months so hopefully we'll set our sights a little higher if we stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 London is definitely a bit pull for foreign players, it’s what we have to deal with. just need to find people who okay for the shirt, a rarity these days. id rather have decent players who are villa fans. lolly etc team is greater than the sum of its parts, Real Galacticos proved that decades ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
