AshVilla Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Its too late to bring anyone in now to make a difference We have had the entire **** window to bring in players who could have made the difference and got us points against the likes of Wigan and Southampton games WE HAD TO WIN We may as well not sign anybody it will be nothing more than the equivalent of shuffling the deck chairs around on the titanic Were going down and 1 - 2 players of insufficient quality will not change that Edited January 29, 2013 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I really am sick to death of talking about wages to trolls. Why can't people just put 2 and 2 together. I M Happy to admit I can't put 2+2 together. Or more precisely why spending £10-£15m on players (and wages) to land a £70m windfall doesn't make sense - please enlighten (cc QPR, and Newcastle in your reply cos they haven't grasped it either) (Sick and tired with 129 posts LOL) Edited January 29, 2013 by smetrov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Too late now whatever happens, concerning transfers. We've lost too many key home games against rivals and need roughly 18 points from 14 games, having only played Spurs as a top team, twice. It's over people.

It's over people. 5 of those 14 games are against the really good teams in the division we can forget about getting any points from those That leaves us with 9 games to pick up maximum points from Not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'll be surprised if we don't bring at least one or two in not star names but ex Premier League players on low wages or a few loans. It would be rather daft not too. Then again daft and Learner go hand in hand it seems, this is a man who thought employing Alex Mcleish would be a good idea. I'm not usually one to shout down Randy has he spent loads of cash on this club but goodness me what a mess he's made of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 bullshit alert! (it's the mirror) Apparently Stoke want to fund a bid for Bent by selling Jones, Crouch and Adam. If we could get over 10m plus Adam that would be pretty decent business. Can't see it happening though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think we need someone more energetic in the midfield than Adam at this stage, he is a luxury we cannot afford although he is a much better version of Bannan. Desperately need someone in the Diame mould (I'm not stupid enough to think we can get him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Too late now whatever happens, concerning transfers. Im not to sure it is. Even at this late stage, the manager will have an idea on whom he can get. I guess it just takes a phone call from the owner to put things in motion. Whether it will now be enough is another thing. If Lerner does not make that call after seeing us in the bottom three and empty seats, then he really does not care, and he will be off soon.

Sorry, I meant too late to make a difference considering the key games we've already lost and the fixtures that we have left. I don't think even one or two more experienced heads can get us the points we need. We needed players in at the start of January, we've lost so many crucial points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Honestly think lambert does have money to spend to an extent...but he is **** clueless what to do with it and is clueless in identifying any players we can bring in. Huddlestone was the only player i could realistically see from the premiership who could have done a job and would have came to us, but we left it to bloody late and now sandro is out he aint going anywhere. Graham dorrans is the only other available player but he is shite. Surely our scouts would have identified someone from abroad?! What they hell have they been doing?! I cant stand that word removed lambert with his dour interviews and clueless tactics but to be fair the players he brought in have been okay. Benteke, westwood, vlaar, howton have been good signings when you factor in there low cost. Just think he is now clueless regarding any more targets. Dont believe for a second lerner hasnt given him money to spend in jan Edited January 30, 2013 by donnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Bent to Stoke makes sense. They've tried to sign him in the past when he was at Spurs but he went Sunderland. Also looks like Crouch is off. Bent probably work at Stoke, they have the big men to win the ball and I guess they think he'll bury all the scraps and knock downs. We'd probably get the best fee off Stoke too. Didn't they sign Crouch for £10/£11m at the age of 30? Only sell though if it's reinvested straight away, no point if not. Bent is useless and pointless under Lambert, so may as well go. WTF has Henke done? Edited January 30, 2013 by VillaRoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Bent plays well with wingers. So its unfortunate when we changed to 442 Lambert brought him off. Stupid really, leaves Bent looking shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
