juanpabloangel18 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Where are those who said we WOULD back the manager 'and then some' earlier in the summer ? Indeed. Even in the depths of darkness that were the last 2 seasons I still wanted the managers to succeed for the greater good of the club . Lambert has my unreserved backing regardless of whether we sign anyone else. I think by 'we' he means 'the board' and by 'back' he means 'give money to' Oh Ok. ...But we will only know whether he has been backed sufficiently until after Lambert's tenure so criticism on that front seems premature. Well, at least after January or by this time next year. But the apparent sell-to-buy policy still in place (Collins - Vlaar, Warnock - ?, Hutton - ?) doesn't exactly inspire confidence... we shall see.

villan-scott Posted August 12, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2012 Who knows, maybe Richard will you be "all over" this signing as you were with KEA, Lowton & Vlaar ;-) Depends if I can get back in time from tescos, hopefully Good luck mate - wont it be closed at this time on a sunday though? Not with the new Sunday trading law around the olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Mantis its time you let it go especially when you are starting to debate your own points with yourself. Time to let what go? It's just a discussion. Glad to hear it. Wouldn't want to upset you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the apparent sell-to-buy policy still in place (Collins - Vlaar, Warnock - ?, Hutton - ?) doesn't exactly inspire confidence... we shall see. No ...We will only truly know whether Lambert has been sufficiently backed until after the event....Just as an "apparent" sell to buy policy can only be deemed so afterwards. And as for inspiring confidence well it's subjective. but I am pretty confident we will gradually improve, but as you say we shall see. I couldn't give a **** either way , win or lose I am on the booze. Football is entertainment and does not warrant the emotional investment some seem to put in to it . If we do well, great. if we do badly , oh well . The fun is in the chase and the dream of what may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being neither condescending or personal and again I'm not the one resorting to name calling and insults. "Wouldn't want to upset you". That was blatantly condescending. There's just no need for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since you do seem a little upset I will be more mindful of your sensitive nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The 'wouldn't want to upset you' comment Wasn't really meant to be but old Mantis seems more than a tad sensitive so I'll be more direct in future so as to not having him think too much.

Czechlad Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We need some rumours! okay Aston Villa have placed a bid for Kenwyne Jones. Aston Villa have enquired about a loan move for Man City's Adam Johnson. Danny Graham off to Aston Villa for £10m? Also saw we are in for Charlie adams All via twitter so there's that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Aston Villa have placed a bid for Kenwyne Jones. I know you said that you got this from twitter and obviously twitter is full of bullshit rumours but I have actually heard this rumour from someone that has told me about transfers that have ended up being true in the past. I actually think Jones isn't too bad. Im guessing he's about 26/27. I don't remember him scoring many for Stoke last season though! What I do remember is that when Jones left Sunderland, Darren Bent said he was gutted and that Jones is the best strike partner he's had. Didn't Stoke pay between 7-8 million for him? If we were to bid then I reckon we'd be looking at having to pay a fee around that amount. I'm not sure if I'd want to see us spending that sort of money on him though to be honest. We'll see.
