Trinity-Tom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well, from what MON has said, I would expect at most one deal. There is very little possibility that if nothing has been fully arranged already that we could make more than one signing. Unless of course we are buying more than one player from the same club.

Richard Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 In honesty I read MON's comments and thought that it confirmed that we would probably not be signing anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 3 points tomorrow are very important and that should be our main focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJohn2 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If he could bring Milner back with him, that would be even better. I would rather have SWP in the summer than Milner now. I think the Milner deal is way off anyway... Come on, give us Barton and Dica!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Looks promising, but I think it might be a case of what happens at other clubs. I hope he stays in Birmingham to work out a transfer or two tomorrow instead of going to Newcastle... Come on MON, give us a couple of midfielders. Agree, would spice things up I think in the last bit of the season. A bit of variety in the service to young/carew/moore/angel could be just what we need. Also sends out a good message to all : "We are AVFC, Doug's gone and we ain't messing around anymore......!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcinwales Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Did O'Neill at some time in the pre transfer window say he would be looking to lower leagues to see if he could find players, not been much speculation and with QPR in need of new players......

I think the Milner deal is way off anyway... Come on, give us Barton and Dica!!! I'd rather have the better, more promising player. And that's Milner. But hey, let's just agree to disagree on two players we're not signing rather than turn this into the millionth Milner vs SWP thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity-Tom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 He did say that there are players in lower divisions who can make the step up and he wouldn't rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think the fact that TRANSFER NEWS is the headline news on the official site says to me that at least one deal is being worked on and is at an advanced enough stage to get us a bit expectant. I expect at least one more by end of play tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think it says more that the club know that the fans are speculating and simply want to update them rather than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 30, 2007 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yeah TBF to MON he plays a clever game. He never makes definite statements that can later come back to haunt him. He never says 'never' and never says 'definitely' or 'I will' type claims. Not ruling things out, 'ideally wanting 4 or 5 Petrov type players' and seeing what happens are all sensible things to say, and leaves everyone guessing.

Gizmo Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 We won't sign any more. Why not?the press would know. Perhaps Villa have decided not to tell the world's media that they are secretly trying to buy a player? No offence mate but you've said about 100 times on this very thread that we're not going to sign anyone and you have so far been wrong every time. I hope you're wrong again.

Jez Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Villa never really tell anyone until its a deal, its the agents who let everyone know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'snot always the buying club who leeks to the press. Sometimes it's in the seller's interests or the player himself, to let people know he is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Villa never really tell anyone until its a deal, its the agents who let everyone know. The incompetent ones always used to.... David O'Leary's "there is a player there who wants to join us" which got the illegal approach reprimand is the one that sticks in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
