I have to say I'm getting slightly worried. This is a top signing & a bargain at 6m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm worried about they are pulling together a strong team now. Not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Alex Song though, now that's one for the forgotten players thread. He's really declined since he left Arsenal. Hard to believe he's not even 30 yet. Its not off personal terms agreed. I cant believe no other club has come in for him. Also song two top signings while we went for whelan. Jesus blose are going to be a force this year. Gallagher and jota up top is a very excellent partnership. However if they dont go up i think they are in massive financial trouble. The likes of gallagher, jota and song will certianly not be cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 31, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2017 Ah now @NurembergVillan that's bad form. That's a pre-season photo and he's allowed to let his hair down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifamad Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Everyone saying blues will be in trouble if they don't go up? Half of their signings are on loan? 2m signings like Dean, Roberts,Vassell Free signings like N'Doye, Stockdale, only real 'big' signing will be Jota for 6m which is still relatively low, tbh I'm surprised nobody else has went in for him he's a quality player & 6m is cheap. I have to be honest I think they will be around top 6 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 He's just making himself well received by fans. Can't believe people get so wound up by joining-club comments. Part of football, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Christ guys, ask yourself this; if these players are so good why on earth are they joining a shit mid-table at best Championship club? Alex Song, went over the hill years ago, he doesn't even know where the hill is any more and if he couldn't motivate himself to play for Barcelona and West Ham what makes you think he'll perform for arry and the inbreds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be bitter about their signings, it's something I'd expect from them tbh. Think Harry has made some excellent signings tbh, jota especially seems a great bit of business! However we can't compare this to our signings this season, they are miles behind us. This has to be compared to our signings when we started our build over the last 2 windows. Jury will be out till mid season on who's made to best of the outlays, tbh id rather kodge hourihane et al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Alex Song has done nothing for years, not worried about him signing for them at all. Jota is a very good pick up thought, that's a coup for them certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I hate blues I'm always honest with my opinions on players, signings etc of other teams. Their chairman has backed Arry but not stupidly, they have actually done very good business if you are honest, their biggest spend is 6m on Jota & imo that's peanuts when you consider he's talent, absolute bargain don't know why no other clubs didn't get in their. Imo he's one of the best attacking players in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly it's not big at all. Even if blues do finish mid-table they won't be in trouble at all. I don't like blues but I can't see where people are getting the idea they will be in meltdown when Arry leaves after this season, they haven't signed any 80k a week players or signed 15-20m players. Think it's more people going on arrys rep which is reckless no doubt but I don't think blues owners letting him spend reckless. They've bought shrewd like it or not. I wouldn't of minded us signing Jota 6m is a bargain for the amount of goals & assists he provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifamad Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 They have a tough September though & all these players have to gel, they could still be near bottom come October, which will make it tough to climb back up , here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifamad Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 LMAO they now trying to sign Jack Wilshere, be funny if they did & he got injured in the first 5 minutes of he's debut, great player but totally unreliable he's ultimately just a sick note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
