Gompedyret Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hows that then? Sunderland season ticket? Tottenham season ticket? I'm just passing on the facts mate - you all seem to be hanging your hats on a very skewed statistic that puts him in the Drogba/Rooney bracket when in fact 81 goals in six years only equates to an average of 13 goals a year. If Rooney and Drogba took their sides penalties they'd both have well over 100 goals in the same period, from less games. There's a big reason why those three are the top three scorers over the past 6 years - they're three of the VERY FEW strikers who've been playing regularly in the Premiership during that period. If you break it down to (a) goals-per-game or ( recent form he's not nearly as impressive, and to be honest that's something that's dawned on us since we've seen Gyan and Wellbeck. He'll score a few goals for you but you could get someone to do that for less than 10m; about £5m if you went abroad and knew what you were looking for. Instead you've panicked and bid about double the market value for a badly out of form striker who isn't even currently the second best striker at his club (like I say, please feel free to look through the thread on our board for about the last six months - it is regularly mooted that he shouldn't be in the side). I understand the wheels have come off, and that you're in dire straits, but this is probably the most outrageous panic buy in Premier League history. There's a reason that it's going to go through in less than 36 hours - the selling club can't get this done quick enough. Dammit. You're right. I'm all down now. Sigh.

fifa09don Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 the other player is makoun and the delay is not another player its just sunderland being petty about bent in ironing out the details. thats how i see it anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sunderland have done their bit, its us with the press conference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downing84 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have a feeling that we have got another player. Can't be a big name signing though otherwise we would hear the speculation. This delay would hardly be caused by Makoun would it, when he is already our player. It might be a keeper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillett7 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm so close to ejaculating now , i just need to see this all confirmed, then again i've always been a premature ejaculator !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sellyoak ar you joking about your comment about another player??? No, but don't think we'll see another one unveiled at the press conference now as it's too late, more likely within 48 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The other player is Robbie Keane. Ashley Young will also be there to announce his new 10 year deal. We will then have a combination of Young, Keane and Bent. Just like us Villa fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
