Denis_B Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 What staff are going ? We do have a silly amount though , nearly 600 ? yes there are 600 but remember vast majority are only there match days, kiosks, bars, stewards, security, hospitality, waitresses etc. I believe it is about 12 full time staff going. Not sure who yet You sure ? I'm sure i read we had almost 600 FT staff Yes I am sure, I used to be one of them - match day that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Transfer request handed in by Jarvis. Who cares ? Another bog average player quoted at a ridiculous price 9m ??? Do me a **** favour 5m absolute tops Well he was mentioned several times in this thread yesterday so said I'd mention it, not that I want him here.

CI Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Can't see many takers for Jarvis at £9m !!! Maybe MON ? Or QPR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 anyone got any actual links to Villa rather than links that turn out to be purely about what other clubs are doing, or we could rename this the transfer speculation about clubs who aren't villa thread.

N'Zogbia has more raw talent but Jarvis has a better attitude and works harder. I'd have them both! I do honestly think N'Zogbia (and Ireland) will have good seasons.

briggaman Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I would agree with you there and I really do hope N'Zogbia can produce his form from Wigan with us. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have him over N'Zogbia to be honest... you'd almost thing that Wolves players would rather play in the Prem than the Championship. But if Wolves can raise over 22 million on two really average players who did little to keep them in the premiership in the first place, they must be laughing!

troon_villan Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Grrrrrrr!! Saw 'Warnock' trending on Twitter and and excitedly clicked to see where he was going and it turns out to be outrage over Neil Warnock signing El hadji Diouf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Sorry to sidetrack from the riveting Jarvis talk (btw, Jarvis will probably end up as Wet Spam, where the dildo brothers will overpay for him), but like I was talking about earlier with bringing Dempsey in, I thought about it more and he could be a great player for Lambert's system. One of his main attributes is the ability to play in a variety of a attacking roles whether it be as a main striker, second striker, winger or AM. I thought it would work brilliantly if we had a system with say: ------------------------Bent----------------------- --------N'Zog/Holman----------Dempsey------- -----------------------Ireland--------------------- ----Bannan/Gardner---------KEA---------------- Not only can Dempsey score the goals we are still lacking, IMO, he is also great in his build up play and could work better to get Bent into games. I think if Liverpool cool on him, which might be the case, because I see no reason this deal would not have been wrapped up a long time ago, we could offer him decent enough wages to tempt him to move here and pay a fee of around 5-8 million, which is decent for someone who scored 17 goals last season. Obvioulsy, it would come down to ambition as well, would he really be willing to go to a team that is realistically not going to give him CL football. But hey ho, here is my hoping. And I am sure wiggy agrees with me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockStockVilla Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 5-8 million LOL Actually it isn't that funny. He has one year left at Fulham, refuses to sign an extension and has no desire to play for the club anymore. If he signs for more than 8 million somewhere, I will donate 5 quid to VT.

LockStockVilla Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Dempsey is unrealistic Somewhat agree, but he is desperate for a move now and if interest tails off from Liverpool, a team like us could be tempting for him. Say we offer him 50/60k a week, would be a big rise from what I would assume he earns now at Fulham. And we have the pull of his mate Guzan at the club. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think we will be going with what we have got unfortunately. I just don't believe we have the money available to go out and sign the players that people are hoping for, or buying for the amount of positions they are hoping we sort out. We're done for this summer. It's been fairly good though. Seriously, you think? I don't want to dampen the feel good factor of Lambert joining, but you have to admit IF we don't add any more faces this window, then it will have been a pretty shit set of transfers considering what we had hoped for/expected/need! I'm not taking away from who we've brought in (I actually think that they are all good aquistions) but it's not enough - neither from a quantity nor quality point of view. I think we will be fine with what we have. We're not going to win the league, nor are we going to be fighting for 4th... but we will be 'fine' this season. Based on what PL has been saying, and what the players have said about the camp at the moment, i think we will be going with what we have. We have made another new signing this season - but no one has mentioned it yet... This season, we have 'Spirit' in the side... something we severely lacked last season. Lets see how we get on and then improve next season after yet another transitional period has finished. It would be great to have a manager for more than one season. Quite why people are saying we will be spending £8million+ on a player is ridiculous - we have no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the fact that in the past his stated ambition has been to get CL football and he has said that is where he would like his next move to take him. But in terms of it, just off the top of my head, the only team in England that might take him and have that to offer are Arsenal, because as we know Liverpool are definitely not guaranteed it at all. After that, I really do not see him moving beyond England. But hey, this is all really my opinion now, so I suppose we will just wait it out and see how it all progresses.
