switters Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 tbh, a deadline we make only has limited power, unless Benteke then signs a new contract..I mean, if no-one bids before our deadline but someone comes along with £30m a week or two after, I suspect we'd sell..So even if he stays for now, the saga will most likely continue right up to deadline day.

Oaks Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Merson was one if them slagging off Lambert for not playing Bent instead early last season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 wondering how many big name Villa departures actually turn out to do well in their new squad? To answer that question accurately you would need the definition of 'do well'. Does it mean start regularly, play well regularly, win trophies regularly or just not be a complete arsehole?

To answer that question accurately you would need the definition of 'do well'. Does it mean start regularly, play well regularly, win trophies regularly or just not be a complete arsehole? haha sorry yes it was a very broad answer....I would say that last Villa player that actually went on the accomplish a lot for the club was Dwight Yorke. I guess who became extremely crucial for the team, I guess Barry and Milner can be on the list, but Ashley Young has been a dud, Downing....well ummm no need to explain. Coming from a Canadian, I see this classic move a lot in basketball and hockey where players demand higher pay or are playing for a contract but then when they get the big contract they are an absolute failure because well they got the money. Just sounds like Benteke is hungry only for money rather than for glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's definitions will vary but you could add Andy Gray to the list who went on to win a cup with Wolves and I believe Alan McInally had a degree of influence at Bayern Munich and I suppose Gareth Southgate was quite influential at Middlesbrough. There will be others if you think back but it is all subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 Merson's a decent bloke, and I think he cares for the Villa, but as an "expert" he's clueless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 Merson's a decent bloke, and I think he cares for the Villa, but as an "expert" he's clueless. Agreed. I quite like him, but to have a pundit who can barely talk is a little baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
