Zatman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 its not about players getting worse. But id rather take a chance on a Benteke for less salary than Odemwingie. plus about 7 years in age difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But id rather take a chance on a Benteke for less salary than Odemwingie. plus about 7 years in age difference its not about benteke v odemwingie..its about replacing players with better ones, is holman better then odem? we need some better quality & every team above us has them.

Zatman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 If had to sign either would definitely be Holman. Might not be as talented but hasnt proved to be an mercenary asshole like Odemwingie did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr600rr Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 great stuff..great choice.. keeping players like holman is the reason were in the brown..ffs wba hit 40points 6-8weeks ago.. if you think holman or any player in not a mercenary think again..they are all the same pal.

skarroki Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 if we were to stay up and Wigan, QPR and Reading went down, my ideal transfer list would be: OUT: 1 Given - out of favour 2 Hutton - out of favour 5 Dunne - end of contract 7 Ireland - out of favour 9 Bent - out of favour 17 Makoun - previous agreement 19 Petrov - end of contract 24 Dawkins - end of loan 33 Marshall - end of contract I would also consider selling/loaning out Delfouneso, Herd and Lichaj but those 9 players are definite priority for leaving and 9 first-team players leaving is a lot as it is IN - some of this list maybe not all M'Bia - QPR McCarthy - Wigan Murphy - Crewe Cavanda - Lazio Hooper - Celtic Sinclair - Man City Douglas - Twente Dier - Lisbon Think all of those transfers are fairly realistic, some obviously harder than others to pull off but i think that lot would be a great bit of business and would start to push us higher up the table on a better wage budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'd take Mathieu Flamini from AC Milan. You might but Lambert wouldn't. Newspapers say otherwise, Southampton were also linked... Yeah mate i suppose its a valid link ok but i don't see Lambert buying a 29 year old with a poor injury record even if he is on a free. It goes against everything he is trying to do at the club. Wages might also be another issue? Sylla is injury prone, so no I don't see your point. Lambert hasn't ruled out buying experienced players, thats just you assuming. We've missed Petrov's presence in central midfield, I believe Flamini could be our answer. Is he?? does he have a bad record in france then?

Kingfisher Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 99% of the modern day footballer will move to the highest payer...sorry but £ is right up there with oxygen . I don't think that's true. Being a success and moving up to a more successful club will inevitably mean a bigger wage. I think ambition is a major factor for most young professionals. On the way down, or at the end of a career money is a bigger factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player performing well, moving to a club that is performing better than his current club, or going places happens. The wage increase is just a natural part of that rather than the fundamental catalyst to it. Edited April 24, 2013 by Kingfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wages might prove to be a problem though. I would bite someone's hand off for M'Bia, but, again, wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Surely Odemwingie will spend the transfer window in QPR's car park? On a more serious note I think Herd can still have a bright future at VP. Edited April 24, 2013 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Better than Delph. Scores goals too. thats nothing to shout about really tho! If it was possible i would replace kea, herd, delph, bannan, westwood , sylla and ireland and start all over again in the middle of the park. I wouldnt lose any sleep if i never saw any of them again in a villa shirt. there is nothing special at sll in that list in terms of quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 25, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lowton to Fulham or Arsenal. Weimann to Newcastle or Liverpool. Benteke to Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool. There are some battles ahead it would appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
