GypsyKing Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well what a frustrating transfer window thus far I know, i know we should all be well used to it by now but this one has been particularly frustrating with the main rumours appearing to indicate: OUT LATEST Sidwell to Fulham/West Ham? - All seems to have gone quiet on that front! Milner to City? - Appears to be heading for deadline day! Shorey to Forest? - All quiet here once again! Heskey to Sunderland? - To soon to tell if true or not! Luke Young to Liverpool - Actually seems highly likely! INS LATEST McGeady from Celtic? - Repeated link almost daily but still nothing Keane from Spuds? - Ditto McGeady! Huntelaar from Milan? - Apparant press fabrication? Flamini - Again seems to be press fabrication? Stephen Ireland - Appears dead in the water/linked to Milner Many other loose links which are obviously just newspaper fabrications (mostly the Mirror ) or just incorrect. So all in all nothing of real excitement other than arguably the Keane & Huntelaar links which have gone very quiet. Have to say it's rather like grating your finger nails off with a cheese grater & i find it quite amazing how many different ways there are of telling the same story regarding the Milner situation! It has to be about 200 versions i have read since the window began all basically saying we want 30m & City don't want to pay that!! Incredible! & very tedious lol! As far as Ireland goes, in the speculation thread MM says we're in pole and its happening outside of the Milner deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Oh come on, is it really that bad!?!?! Did you really have that bad a time last season watching us get to Wembley, beating Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool.....good god man! Things could be alot worse....surely the O'Leary days, finishing 16th aren't that far in the past to forget? I'm just worried. I can't help it. I know what you are saying is correct but there is also another side to it, to progress we need to improve faster than at least 1 of the top 4 and all of the rest, that's the bottom line. For all the great wins we had we had some proper shockers, I flew over to watch the Chelsea game at VP and yes it's nice to beat them but look at the away fixture result. Getting to Wembley is good as you say but the squad as a whole is fundamentally not strong enough to do it for the whole season, if it was we would have had to get the open topped bus out of retirement but we were inevitability tired and devoid of ideas. I, as many others know what we need to do what we desire but we are nowhere near currently. Chelsea midfielders score more than our strikers and no one seems to think this is a problem. I just want a scrap of good news, that's all. Selling our best players every year is driving me mad, once that's sorted i suppose I will cheer up.

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 My mate of a mate of a mucker says we're currently in talks with Fulham for Dickson Etuhu with the possibility of cash + Sidders. Just waiting on the managerial position to be sorted first. IF true I wouldn't expect more than 4 million cash to go along with Sidders. Probably a slight upgrade but he would definitely add some bite in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Etuhu was poor when he played for Norwich - and got binned. Lazy and full of himself. This is garbage - hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Derby are after a pacey striker to suppliment their attack and Clough is looking at youngsters of premier clubs. Just wonder if one he may want on loan is Delfouneso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 He's not going anywhere, he would've gone by now if he was going to go out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feyenoord Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Dickson Etuhu is a shocking footballer. I wouldn't even call him a footballer. Every pass is going backwards/sideways/to the opposition. 90% of the time he is busy recovering his own mistakes. Villa should sign Gustavo Colman for central midfield. Plays for Trabzonspor in Turkey and should only cost 6/7 million. This guy has got incredible range of passing and glorious style. He can score goals as well.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umfg_8JV93o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Luke young to Liverpool is a joke. One of the best RB's in the league, disgusting he could not get a game last year. He'll prob go and get more games there tbh, MON has made his mind up on him. If I was him I'd be out the door like a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I have an inkling Alan Hutton will be a Villa player before the window closes. Absolutely no reasoning for it, just a gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
