Benji76 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yep - bringing in loans - can only mean - we can't afford to buy ...............a bit like a loan to buy a car ... .....if you have the cash you use it - you don't have a loan I'd like Villa to load the 1954 Hungarian team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Having seen Liverpool-Arsenal I'm even more convinced that Crouch isn't the right man for us. Glad we got rid of him. Now, Huntelaar is another matter. Would anyone consider Lauren as rb? Is he injured or can't he just take a place in the Arsenal-team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocafella Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Some people on here seem to think that Aston Villa is the only team the press don't care about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Did anyone hear about the bid for Solano till it happened, rare I know but maybe Lerner and MON want to do business the quiet way ??? What about Milner?? that came out of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Transfers can go by without the media knowing it, but what is happening now is Villaesque, it's what always happens. Some people, perhaps me included, have the right to react that's all. I am probably sounding very negative right now, but I'm not. Time is left for us to buy 40 new players and sell the rotten lot we got Just kidding though, we have many good players, and many would be even better if people like Bent and Barton came in. Let's talk in 24 days, and let's f*ck Watford over sideways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 just a thought. would it not make sense to buy in as many of the ones MoN wants now, rather than wait until summer time when all the teams will start spending the money before they get it from the new premiership deal? i would rather we paid 10 million for bent, 10 million for swp and so on, now, rather than have 8 teams fighting it out for each player and the prices going even more inflated. we are in a position now where we should be able to grab the players we want and need now, then in the summer the new spopnsorship deal can come in and recoup the spending. we would also get alot more money on sponsorship having a couple superstars or at least top quality players in the team. i remember the crazy days of anyone in a premier team costing £3 million at the very least, no matter how rubbish they were. at least if we got players in now, we would be saved the even more inflated prices come the summer time. also gives us time to have a proper preseason build up on the pitch and off it.

ianrobo1 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 BB, the sponsorship is being sorted out now, irrespective of players Aalso your point ignores the fact that some clubs won't sell until the summer, it is always the best time, especially in May/June b4 preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svilenrussev Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I remember when Darren Bent played for Ipswich and we were linked with him in the media.DOL said that Bent was not a quality player for Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car is a seriously depreciating asset. In almost every case it's better to borrow money to buy a car than it is to pay cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosch1one Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think get Young in for £7mill, F*ck me, I'd rather have bardsley on loan and spend the £7 million wisely in the Summer, he's no where near worth tha met, no offense. If I was paying £7 mill for a right back i'd want someone world class. Some one tell me the last right back that went for that sort of money!? I bet he was a bit better that Luke Young of Charlton!

Spoony Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm not being negative but i doubt we will make any big-money signings in january because all the clubs seem to lose their commom sence. Short-term fixes that will keep us in the prem may be more sensible than splashing £7m out on Young who could yet prove to be a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
