Stevo985 Posted July 18, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2011 Honestly, I trust the person who said (to me) we have to sell to buy, so who knows. We have sold, twice, and not bought. So a few pennies for Cuellar shouldn't maka difference after getting ten times that for SD. I think that's why Stevo thought you might be joking. It was also rumoured that sell-to-buy did not include the goalkeeper; that replacing Friedel was a, ahem, Given, and that buying outfield players needed sell-to-buy. Yes. I was confused as to why, when we've sold £36m worth of players, we'd need an extra £2m to be able to spend £3.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOne Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 So what's going on here? I thought he would have been announced as our goalkeeper today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 richardpfranks r Given to be announced around 5pm apparently Sellyoakvilla (reliable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracker1234 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Apparently a woman from the ticket office has told a fan who phoned up to ask about the sale of Blackburn tickets that Given will be announced before 5 today and the Blackburn tickets go on sale on Thursday. MatKendrick Mat Kendrick I'm told the Shay Given deal should still be signed, sealed and delivered today.

They are holding off so keyboard warriors can get themselves all worked up again. Just for a laugh my source says. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthEastVillan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Glad there's been no hanging about from Villa. Just Bosh chuck in a bid and before you know it a medical had been done and the player announced. All within the space of 2-3 weeks. Now that's a speedy turn around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem IMO is that people are on such high wages there that a move usually requires a paycut - and if the player didn't ask for the move then he's entitled to a chunk of what he's about to lose out on contractually. So Citeh (and their players) are victims of their own generosity when it comes time to move people on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Also they will probably have the same problem as Villa have; Older players who they have to keep on with high wages, like Bellamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I thought Given had asked for a move, to get first team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityRoadSteps Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Why does this need to be announced today. I thought the transfer window was open until the end of August. For all we know he might actually have already signed on the dotted line. What difference does it make when it's announced as long as he has signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jat_r Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Would be nice if it was announced at Star City and he appeared in the top! They announce Bent, then Gabby, then Fonz, then Albrighton... then Given lol! Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
