Should definitely be in there - was back when we were filled with hope and optimism for the Lerner/O'Neill dream team era.

We identify our top targets, wont stump u the cash and end up with our 2nd or 3rd choice targets. This has to change, we cant be ripped either. Top clubs don’t always get the players they want, but they have the advantage of being a top club meaning they have the money and the league position to attract players.

Players are on their holidays and we've just got a new sporting director. Hardly any moves have happened and papers are just filling column inches at the moment. Go on twitter add villareport and John Percy to your tweet notifications, sit back and wait for it all to blow over.

Fraser did down tools. His attitude for a pro is shite. When we're up against, we wouldn't be able to trust him on the pitch. The very least you should expect from a professional athletic is to actually try. On his day, he's a good player but you're not going to know what player is going to turn up that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 52 minutes ago, Dave-R said: Agreed and would also like to say we make our transfers way more late than most clubs, as if were sweeping up the leftovers. Feels abit like Villa at times are on the Judge Dredd SLO-MO drug, just that everyone else are Judges and were the ones taking our time making choices, Wonder if theres a FAST-MO drug for us for once. Not far off there, anyday now though there's gonna be some action and we'll all be like, who? Who that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) How I despise the arrogance and superiority complex displayed by their fans and media. As if you can just come in at any time you're ready to "swoop" no matter the inconvenience to us. Quote Manchester United will wait until late in the transfer window before deciding whether to move for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, according to a report. https://amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/report-man-utd-to-move-late-for-grealish_409037.html Edited August 4, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If you could only buy 4 players to improve the first team this summer, for a combined total of £100m (if rumours are to be believed), who would you buy? TransferMarkt is by no means an accurate depiction of a players value, but you can use that site to work out some rough values if that helps. I'm interested to see what positions everyone wants to prioritise and where people would allocate the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Love the fact that the bigger clubs can't just bully us anymore. We don't need the money and we don't have to sell. Suck it Man U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
