JulieB Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I thought there'd be more in situ by then especially as it seems King Carlos is/has left.... Mind you MON bought most of his new players AFTER the season started, so this could be slightly misleading. Perhaps he wishes to look at what he's got first in the league, but the trouble is if we get a bad start that makes matters more difficult as then you're playing catch up.

snowychap Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Did you just rape her facebook profile for a pic? Of course. Hey, when I promise something, I deliver. You are Glenn Mulcaire and I claim my tuppence ha'penny (or perhaps a pair of thre'penny bits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Totally agree Julie. He's is obviously just referring to before the start of the season, but nevertheless, I would have thought after the players we have lost; that 3-4 were required minimum before the 13th August.

Shillzz Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 One signing before the season. I hope further signings will be made after the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbrook85 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I sincerely hope we're going to be making more than one signing. It doesn't make sense to not even spend all of the Downing money, and that's forgetting entirely about the Young money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well if thats the case hopefully he isnt including Nzogbia and if he is then hopefully we'll sign more before the deadline, but if we dont then I shall be in the camp who question the board.

thejoker Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I think 1 more signing will probably be enough anyway to be honest. We have Ireland and Warnock as "new" signings, Given in goal. We've got enough defenders (unless Cuellar leaves), plenty of midfielders and enough strikers. Unless more players leave, not sure where there is to strengthen at the moment. So if we add N'Zogbia to Albrighton, then thats 2 v.good wingers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Other than a winger, I'd still like a Reo-Coker replacement, at minimum. Makoun did seem lightweight in the tackle and Petrov cannot be relied on. We will be weak in midfield if we don't get some muscle in there, imo.

Ingram85 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 So apart from 'one more signing' or loans/free's then we wont sign anymore until january?? I hope to god that isnt true, is that a fake or real bbcwm linky thing? Misheard perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 From what Iv heard we offered 9m they want 10m and now nothings happening? Just give them the 1m for **** sake. Seriously, Villa piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNichollsToe Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 One more frigging signing????????? I want Doug back please!! Hang on a minute here, folks. This may indicate that they are nearing a deal for Nzogbia. Look, the most demanding areas to strengthen were Goalkeeper, and Downing before the season starts. He wanted them in for the tour, and will use that and the first few weeks to look at the squad more closely. At the moment, all they are doing is press ups!! Im not happy, but i think its sensible, and i also think the Zog deal will be in place by friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 What I don't understand is that after the season had finished, we had sounds from inside Villa that they would not make the same mistake as last season being unprepared & playing catch up. They have had so long to address these issues....The manager saga took way too long & they have been taking their time making sure we bring in the right players; only to find out today that before the season starts 'we will only have one more signing'. Ok, we will no doubt bring players in during the rest of August; but they have had so much time to get things sorted. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if im wrong, then there is only conclusion we can draw, and that is they are clearing the decks for something, and that something is really starting to look like sell.

switters Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 At least he said 'start of season' rather than 'end of transfer window'. Squad is much-weakened from last season & that wasn't exactly the most successful season of all time..1 outfield signing would not be sufficient, unless we truly have a early-90s Man Utd-type crop of kids coming through.
