Ponky Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 REALLY big week for Villa this... Well that's the kiss of death isn't it? Any "big week for Villa" tends to end in tears in my (albeit relatively limited) experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well that's the kiss of death isn't it? Any "big week for Villa" tends to end in tears in my (albeit relatively limited) experience... Its huge in every sense. On the field, off the field everything. If we don't strengthen then we're just going through the motions until relegation. I guess it may even effect the jobs of 'ordinary' folk at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 And why did they hate Lerner ? Cause all he wants to do is to be able to say " I am one of the select group of people that can afford to owne a sports club " He is not interested in doing anything with his club, just owning it is enough. Yes, that definitely fits in with the profile of the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCAM Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I disagree with the idea that Randy just likes the idea of owning a sports team. Peter Pannu and his puppet master Carson Yeung are only holding to Blues because they that he owns a sports team and Pannu loves being Chief Exec or whatever he is... Randy isn't perfect, but he is not the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 James Nursey reckons we will some players coming in still. I think we will do , I also think Bent will go at last minute and we will grab someone then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I am pretty desperate for anyone to come in, even if it's someone like Danny Murphy on a short term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lerner has a lot to answer for if he has driven us to this. He has though hasn't he? We're crying out for any kind of professional to take control of our midfield. The loss of Stan has possibly been our biggest lost during the whole Premier League era, because we simply haven't replaced him, and have been left with a bunch of youngsters trying to run our team.

I blame Lambert for not replacing Petrov. We needed some experience in the centre. I guess he hoped KEA would replace him, but we need somebody there. Maybe Danny Murphy isn't such a bad shout.

Shillzz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Oh yeah, Lambert gets a lot of the blame for not replacing Petrov in the summer. But I'd question whether he had the financial backing to bring in an adequate replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think Bent will go. Probably somewhere like Fulham for £8m. Then we will bring in someone like Charlie Austin from Burnley. This is the biggest week so far since Lerner took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Bit off topic , but anyone watching Nigel Kennedy on Bbc breakfast this morning ? Got his a shirt on singing villa songs good lad ! Yeah seen it and Kennedy was asked about Lambert. However, he thought the chairman was more to blame for our current plight. Oh yeah, Lambert gets a lot of the blame for not replacing Petrov in the summer. But I'd question whether he had the financial backing to bring in an adequate replacement. He spent 7m and 300k on two strikers we didn't need and then signed KEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent 7m and 300k on two strikers we didn't need and then signed KEA. I was thinking about this as I typed my message; we did need a striker and it was quite rightly our number 1 priority in the summer, along with signing a decent centre back. Both of which, we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 We didn't need Benteke? Hasn't he scored MOST of our goals this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaspg Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 maybe he got benteke knowing he would have to get rid of bent this january/next summer? would explain him playing benteke all the time, get him into the team properly before we send off bent?

villan_007 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 James Nursey reckons we will some players coming in still. Hopefully with Hutton and Warnock moving on we can do some business - would stop me feeling so down about us to see a few fresh faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Paul Scharner is available on loan from Germany, could do a job in the centre of midfield for the rest of the season? Also might help us not conceed of corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
