Neil Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Downing, you lying greasy ****. Just watch him hand in a request as soon as a bid comes in. Something we dont have to accept...request denied.

steve-67 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ever since Paul Faulkner became our CEO, we seem to have gone backwards. IMO. In terms of what? He took over, what, two years ago? In that time, we have sold our best two players, lost a Manager who at least made us media attractive, signed a Manager who isn't up to the job. The five year plan has gone for a burton. Look at it from the other angle. What has Paul Faulkner actually done to help the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have the same opinion for any player who doesn't wish to knuckle down and try and improve things for the Villa "F#%k OFF". If a player feels that their future is elsewhere then please leave ASAP. I would rather have a slightly less gifted player "Jarvis" who is willing to fight for the cause than someone whose heart isn'tin it. Move along Mr.Downing, you will soon be forgotten and replaced. Watch you don't break a nail on your way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Is getting £0 for Downing going to be benefit us though? Depends how you value 2 years service from Downing, I believe that service is going to be of more value to the Villa over the next 2 years than any realistic amount of money most clubs are going to offer. By realistic I mean if man city dont get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Why do players lie. It comes and bites them on there arses soon rather than later. Sterwart has been here 2 years now and has been good 50% of it. **** me at least play well for 2 seasons before being Mr Big head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well a lot can happen in a year and maybe villa will be in a better position to sell (or not sell). But the point I'm trying to make is we shouldnt feel the need to sell just because hes decided hes not commiting, we should make him commit to his contract for as long as it suites us. My problem is I fear we have some guttless people in charge and if this is all about him wanting a move, he maybe gone this Summer which would be disasterous.

Richard Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 If he is that easily replaceable then why would clubs want him and not the someone else we can easily replace him with Besides which it is more than just this one player, it would be coming on top of Barry, Milner , Young and that sends out a powerful message to other clubs and other better players. Because wer not competing on a same level Richard. Your thinking can we replace him and move forward onto the top 4 (which is your frustration I think) - Not really. I am know we wont be able to replace him with the same quality and thus we reduce the quality of our team and move backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Having re-watched the Ajax game the other day, I was left slightly envious with regards to the players we used to have at our disposal. Another 12 months and I fear we'll be looking back on the days when our team was graced with the likes of Young, Downing & Reo Coker with a similar amount of envy.
