fran_villa Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It's not all bad news, looks like Madrid have pulled out of the Van der Vaart to spurs deal at the last minute. Haha.

brummybloke Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 im not suprised but i am disapointed at the lack of any new signings. the one thing fans want nearly as much as good results is the signing of new exciting players. with the uncertainty surrounding a manager coming in, it would have bought the board a lot more time if they had gone out and signed a top forward. what difference would it have made? well a player who can pop in a gaol when the game is going no where changes the complexion of a game. it would have provided more income for the club, more positive media interest, more interest in general from the fans and also a level of excitement which to be honest has not reached any higher than when MoN came to the club, the signings we have made havent excited me, i have been pleased but havent thought they were going to make too much of a difference. too late now though, we need to get the best man for the managers job we can. any joe average and the board will not get the trust and belief they have earned from the fans with the last 4 years worth of good work. it can go out of the window in a very short space of time. Kmac needs to stay at what he is good at, that keeps some continuity at the club, make him manager and i bet by christmas he is sacked and the 14 years of stirling work he has done at the club will count for nothing and the reserves and youth team will be without the star coach.

timbaughan Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Lots to look forward to. We have Heskey falling on his fat arse 10 times every half, and John **** Carew who only plays when he wants to. The prick. You could always do something else on Sat/Sun/Mon- whenever we're playing. Hear B&q's quite good fun these dats. I bet you love James Corden, right? No i dont but i do love moaning twunts. Im sure we will get on well. :winkold: i do 2. lolz. x. Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 with the uncertainty surrounding a manager coming in, it would have bought the board a lot more time if they had gone out and signed a top forward. Not generally a good idea to buy a player and then appoint a manager; remember the Jo fiasco at Man City. I personally thought the whole Milner deal should have been stopped once we lost our manager, but thats probably just. Also how many ‘top’ forwards would have come?

Corleone Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 A Lot of people seem to be pinning their hopes on the new manager making signings in the January window. Whe in reality their is usually a dearth of options available. I think were stuck with what weve got now untill 2011/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Surely we could have got Hleb on loan and possibly Eidor without a manager for a year loan. They are both on loan for a year at shite and Stoke. Instead we have left our squad very vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 We brought Carew and Ash in Jan, We will be able to buy a couple of players. Arsenal brought Arshavin in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norton65ca Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The club has stated with absolute clarity that they have not made significant investments in this summers transfer market simply because there is not at this time a manager and until such a time arrives when we do actually have someone occupying the managers chair in a long term fashion, the club will not be making any investments in the playing staff. Strewth it's like pulling teeth, Oh, and the transfer market is now closed? How about we shut up shop here and discuss something else? Up the Villa.

But could he have left because he would not have the money to spend this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
