troon_villan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Even with a signing or two tommorrow, I still think we'll be short in a few areas, maybe not in terms of numbers for once but certainly in genuine premier league quality. God help us when he inevitably get 4-5 injuries all at the same time. Can see some decent spending in January, similar to the last time we were fighting relegation and Bent suddenly appeared... Just seems so pointless waiting till January to spend when we know now we'll be fighting relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems so pointless waiting till January to spend when we know now we'll be fighting relegation. We don't know that we'll be fighting relegation. BUT, I would be disappointed to see us spending 'big' in Jan because fees seem to be hyper inflated during that month, it's just very bad business. Technically, money spent that would be spent in January could have been spent in the summer window, and you're more likely to get value for money in the summer, as we all know.

PieFacE Posted August 30, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2012 The closer it gets, the more i'm getting worried. Everyone else has strengthened really well so far in the Premier League. We're in for a right scrap I think. However good Lambert is, he's only as good as the players he's got. With Norwich they had momentum and knew what winning games felt like... our squad has neither of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Pah, I'm giving up. I've spent the last two weeks glued to my laptop taking it in turns between refreshing this thread and doing the same on Twitter in the vain hope that'll we'll pull some decent exciting signings out of the bag. I don't think I can sit and watch all the way through tomorrow only to be left with that feeling of complete and utter disappointment. Bollox to it, I'm out!

A cup game, against a 3rd tier side, on a Tuesday night, on the back of a 3-1 home loss in the league the previous Saturday. Was never gonna be a sell out was it mate? Not doubting your love of the club, or wanting to get into a better fan thing, but I'd go and watch Villa in the Blue Square Prem. I care about who's in the team, who the manager is etc, but it doesn't really matter to me in the grand scheme of things. I love the club, it's part of me, and not going to the match because we didn't sign the players I wanted us to, is unthinkable to me. If others don't see it that way, then there's nothing I can do about it, but it does make me wonder why they bother supporting us, and don't just go watch the Sky clubs?

leemond2008 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I've already gave up pretty much on checking threads, watching SSN, trawling the internet and all that jazz I take a look if I am bored more than anything, not because I am fed up of the whole transfer window saga or anything like that but because I have text updates on my phone and if we sign anyone I know that one of me mates will text me pretty much straight away or me dad will phone me just no point in getting stressed about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 A bit controversial but at the moment in my opinion Swansea have a better squad than us.. of course that could change in the next 24 hours but just saying it how I see it.

jacketspuds Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well Nursey now tweeting that Genk are playing hardball and we are looking at Plan B options. Still hope we can get this done along with deals for Adam and Downing tomorrow. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
