OnlyOne Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 At least with MON you knew there was a chance of breaking top 4. Now we have no idea if we'll finish top half at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEndVillan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 How much did the Blues agree to buy him for? £9m? Whatever the figure AM would know. Presume as he was given permission to discuss personal terms with BCFC a price with WAFC had been agreed. I can not understand how he's worth more today than he was last year. If anything the price should be less, as he's only got 1 year left on the contract. So the Villa should offer that price again, and not a penny more. Whelan is just being opportunistic as we're recently cash rich, and all these other clubs interested are Whelan trying to drive the price up.

wiggyrichard Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The problem is Wigan know that we have just had £36m put into the bank, so they will try and cream it for as much as they can. I think it will end up at about £12m. AM obviously rates him highly, im sure he also realises that we really really need him, so im positive a deal will be done.

brommy Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Just asked my daughter's opinion on him. She reckons he's the poor man's Ashley Young. Now I'm even more depressed with the situation.I agree with her for two reasons 1. If he was better than Ashley Young or possessed the same ability then he would be playing for champions league club already 2. Similarly to number one if he was better or had the same ability and given his contract has longer to run than Ashleys did he would be costing more money You have ignored the increased cost of buying an English player.

Now we have no idea if we'll finish top half at this rate. .....what the ****? Cant really argue with that mate can you? The club was more stable under o'neill than I and MANY others can ever remember it being, with 3 consecutive finishes of 6th and really look like breaking the top 4 in 2 of them seasons. Yes I know some people think he spunked a load of cash, but all the blame cant land at his feet, there must have been somebody sanctioning the deals. And I cant really remember ANY villa fans moaning when we brought the likes of Sidwell, Beye, etc etc. At the time everyone seemed happy that we were building a squad that could push us on those extra couple of places. I can also remember people moaning how long the deals took to go through, and if I remember rightly this was also chalked down as MON fault also. Funny hey! And his point about us finishing in the top half at the moment is not far off in my opinion, where do you expect us to finish with how things stand at the moment? just cant see what point you were trying to make with that comment.

brummybloke Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 im sure we will sign him for around 9 million pounds, unless we do something silly like sell both wingers for large amounts of money first...oh ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harchester Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Maybe we should just shift our target and look for another winger. N'Zog is simply not worthy of that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNichollsToe Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Whelan smells blood here. He knows we now have the cash, and he also witnissed us spending 24m Bent last January. Dont forget that we tried to poach his manager, and dispite the nice public platitudes, i bet it irked him privately. Thing is, if we would have offered 10 Million before selling Downing, would we be in this situation now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we show that we're not to be dicked about we may lose out on this target, but we'd gain far more from any other future targets. Whelan knows that he has to sell this window, as he'd only get a pittance if he tries to sell him January. Call his bluff I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
