villa89 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 this is shocking journalism. What were you expecting? 1. Its from an English Tabloid. 2. That tabloid rag is the Mirror. 3. Its written by Alan Nixon. It always baffles me why football fans pay any attention to these football "rumours" that have been invented by journalists looking to fill column inches during the summer.

sharkyvilla Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Surely if Birmingham have any sense they'll make Butland first choice if he's that good. Staying and doing an apprenticeship for a couple of seasons there would be a good move for him as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRob Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just remember this is phase 1 of 4 Phases 2-4 will see better players come aboard I haven't read anything about phases. Is this an ITK? What are phases 3 and 4 and where did you find this information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Probably not true but would welcome this and I'm pretty sure 95% of Villa fans would also be happy with this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an ITK? What are phases 3 and 4 and where did you find this information? Isn't Phase 4 where the ants take over? Not sure I'm looking forward to that one... (On topic - would also welcome this. As much as I respect Shay, there seems to be a growing sense he could be on a fairly steep decline) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted June 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2012 im surprised that stories like this still attract a debate on this forum...classic case of lazy journalism. thought there was talk of the mirror being added to the speculation source blacklist at one point?

What are phases 3 and 4 and where did you find this information? Just look at who posted what you quoted. That should be enough to discern whether or not he is ITK.

steve-67 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lazy bollocks journalism. Rob Green going to QPR will end their interest in Given will end any interest in Ruddy. Not as if we were interested in the first place. Good keeper, but any better than Shay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2012 As much as I like SHay, and thought he was excellent for us last season, he's just had a shocking Euros campaign. Will be interesting to see if he takes that form forward, or if affects him badly. That being said, I don't think Ruddy is good enough to be first choice. He's decent, and having him as a number 2 would be excellent. But as our first choice, I wouldn't be too happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ah but the main problem seems to be that our 7 fingered friends down the road DO NOT have any sense Nor money daggy-333 so both keepers will be sold if they can get in say around £5m & £2m for each to leave them with Doyle and some money to put towards Carson's legal bills. :winkold: As for Ruddy as has been said it is The Mirror and we have other areas to look at ahead of Shay who will again be solid for us next season and I think we should take those last 3 Ireland games with a pinch of salt as I doubt he was 100% fit for the Euros.

CI Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hang on, aren't we about to re-sign Guzan ? He's a more than capable competitor to Given for the Nr1 jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted June 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2012 guzan is a better eeper than ruddy. ruddy is not a good keeper. having said that i'm not a fan of shay either - not because i dont htink he's good - he is - but he isnt the type of keeper we need. We need a big keeper who can command his area and kick the shit out of (verbally) the defence - shay can do nether of these and i think that is why the defence fell apart last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I would be surprised if we were in for Ruddy unless Given is on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 ruddy is not a good keeper. What makes you say this? He looked pretty impressive last season in a team that finished mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
