macandally Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I can't for the life of me understand why people choose to criticize certain players with logic that applies to each of our other players all the same if not more so. Ireland doesn't create goals? He was only behind Gabby and N'Zog (by 1 and 2 assists respectively) in assists with 3, playing deep in in a very defense minded midfield and only getting a real sustained run of games after the turn of the year. People have critiscised the hell out of Gabby and N'Zogbia (and rightly so) So why not Ireland ? He's been average at best since he signed. That's 8m and a HUGE wage thats simply not being justified on the pitch Why don't you just take a chill pill and relax and see what happens this season. Last season was a disaster because the manager didn't now his arse from his elbow, he hamstrung his attacking talent by focusing more on defensive than offensive duties meaning they spent more time looking back than forward. That did not help Gabby, Ireland, Albrighton, NZogbia and so on. PL is a different beast altogether and the shackles will be lifted. You cannot change the past, but try looking forward to what these guys are capable of doing with the right management and a focus on attacking. You might just be surprised.

KSV Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Were linked with Zaha now in the daily mail. At least were being linked with some young players who are hungry and have a bit about them. Im liking the PL era so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Zaha is another yes from me. Good striking alternative who could be a bit like Hoilett. Lets hope PL is saving most of the money for a CB and LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 is it just me.. but im hoping PL is after two CB's. Dunne and Collins should go. Clark should be the back up to the new two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Whilst I like Sturridge as a player, it's all the baggage / attitude he'd bring and I may have underestimated his wages He's not worth 50-60k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If we could get him on loan initially that would be ideal See if he gels with Bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Think there'll be better clubs than us in for Sturridge. He's a top player on his day and would be a good signing for any Premier League side outside of the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Gabby is on 60k+ a week. Sturridge is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top player on his day and would be a good signing for any Premier League side outside of the top 3. According to BBC Gossip column/Footy Latest, Spurs are considering making a £5m move for Sturridge. £5m? Some sites don't even try and make shit up convincingly. He cost Chelsea £8m didn't he?

villaglint Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The ITK's are proving to be an odd bunch of individuals. Why bother going to all this effort if your clearly not ITK. There are very few people who are truly ITK at Villa and for whatever reason (abuse mostly) they are choosing to keep their info to themselves which is a shame for the rest of us. In the mean time we will talk about the Brahimi's of this world incessantly for a week before signing somebody that was never on radar. All good fun I suppose.

I very much doubt it's abuse, it's more than likely that they don't want to risk exposing their contacts so they can keep retrieving info from them. If Richard for example was to post everything he's heard, then his contact was to read he's been posting all the info on an internet site, his contact would probably then stop giving him info.
