Ads Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 No Feyenoord, we always had the money. It was said by a journalist over here that Villa would do no business until we got back and he was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 So if Collins goes it looks like we were waiting for Sunderland to sell a player before we got money for our player and allowing us to buy. We'll see if sell to buy was correct. And funny how only awhile ago Vlaar had a terrible attitude and lambert had changed his mind or had someone better lined up. I thought it was obvious he was a top target for us, just glad sticking to selling a player before buying one didn't cost lambert a player he wanted. As long as this policy doesn't effect our incomings then I guess it doesn't matter. Getting Lamberts top targets is number one priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ads Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We have bought Vlaar. Who have we sold? Dont get me wrong if we can get Sunderland to take Collins off our hands then great. But it wont be for the same money as Vlaar cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 So if Collins goes it looks like we were waiting for Sunderland to sell a player before we got money for our player and allowing us to buy.. Or we were just waiting for the tour to finish. And funny how only awhile ago Vlaar had a terrible attitude and lambert had changed his mind or had someone better lined up. Funny how we treated the player that badly he still wants to sign for us. FWIW whilst I'm glad we are a signing him it still doesnt stop him/his agent being a bit of a gobshite..

MMFy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It seems that Villa didn't have the money available yet to complete the transfer a week ago so I guess Lambert must have sold a player. Villa also paid us 100,000 Euro's more in the El Ahmadi deal so that they could pay a part of the transfer fee next summer instead of the full fee right now. Either you are massively ITK, which from reading your posts I have my doubts of, or you have believed some of the bluster coming from your club. The Feyenoord chairman seems to be a bit like McNally/Whelan to be fair... I don't mean to be offensive, but this is Aston Villa. We do not struggle to raise £3m, or whatever this deal is worth, then throw another £100k in to sweeten our terms on a deal AND allow this information to leak to the press.

Big_John_10 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Or we were just waiting for the tour to finish. Possibly. Seems strange for them to kick up such a fuss if this was the reason though. He may be a gobshite, but if a player is moaning I like the fact he's moaning because he's desperate to join us. He can't be that much of a prick though, I doubt lambert would have signed him if he was that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well done Richard for getting it right - though would you agree this one was down to luck over anything else? Let's be fair, there was nothing happening last week and we have been able to turn it around today after the tour. Now...., I would also like some praise - I announced 2/3 weeks ago that the next signing we make will have a vowel, closely followed by a consonant in their name... Sooooooo. Yea!!! Get in!

Valhalla Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 mmm, Wasn`t impressed with his little outburst myself, acting up before he was even signed. But i will give him a fair chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Soooooooooo this now means that Richard is still 100% ITK. His info was that the club really wanted him and he would be shocked if it wasn't done. Well done pal. Apart from missing Holmann KEA & Lowton it's a decent record I actually like the fact that you work all the way to half 5 on a Friday night. Commitment. Does CI post while he is at work? I thought he was just unemployed... what job allows you to be permanently logged on to a social forum? i want it! More to the point - what job employs CI?!? They must be incredibly forgiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just to confirm officially. Aston Villa FC@AVFCOfficial Villa agree personal terms with Dutch defender Ron Vlaar. http://bit.ly/SXC8bY #AVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We have bought Vlaar. Who have we sold? Dont get me wrong if we can get Sunderland to take Collins off our hands then great. But it wont be for the same money as Vlaar cost.The difference in wages would compensate for that I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 @JamesNursey: Apparently Vlaar really impressed #AVFC in talks with his intelligence, physical stature and desire to make it in the Premier League Sounds like a right gobshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I thought it was obvious he was a top target for us, just glad sticking to selling a player before buying one didn't cost lambert a player he wanted. As long as this policy doesn't effect our incomings then I guess it doesn't matter. Getting Lamberts top targets is number one priority. But we haven't sold anyone, therefore it would appear we are not on a sell to buy policy. Infact, by my reckoning, we have now signed four new players and, as yet, have not sold a single player. I'm not quite sure what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
