Jon Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Lawrie Sanchez quits NI and is installed at Fulham permanently, I guess the first thing he will do is sign Davis and Hughes. 5M for the pair. rouhgly breaks down as £5.25m for davis and -£0.25m for Hughes, I'd guess? :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-savman Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, we should just dismantle our scouting system and go for the players who are good on a computer game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 11, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, we should just dismantle our scouting system and go for the players who are good on a computer game. I must admit it does feel weird when Villa actually sign somebody that you have "signed" in FM. Way, way back in the days of CM93 I "signed" both Mark Draper and Julian Joachim way before the "real" Villa did. And more recently, I had John Carew up front in my virtual Villa. Unfortunately, all three of them were massively, unrealistically better than the real thing. Draper I ended up selling to AC Milan for a huge fee, and Carew got 35 goals in his first season (went off the boil in his second though, so....) OK, sorry, back on topic.

Trinity-Tom Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised if we kept hold of both Davis and Hughes. Whilst I accept that the chances of Davis leaving have increased with the news of Sanchez's appointment I don't think MON will look to offload anyone other than the obvious candidates i.e. those out of contract, Djemba Djemba and maybe Ridge! If we got rid of Hughes, Davis, Moore, McCann, Sorenson etc... then we would not only need to buy a right back, centre back (cover), a left back (cover), a midfielder and a striker but also right back cover, midfield cover, a goal keeper etc... We would be talking of signing 8 players for the first team squad which I think is very unlikely. Whilst I think we may sign 8 players, I can only see 4/5 or so being first team/squad players with the rest being potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriffvilla Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Owen for £9m and Fowler on a free any takers? :bonk: Owen yes like a shot. Fowler no thanks way past his sell by date My sentiments exactly. Fowler would be better off 'doing a Kevin Phillips' and dropping down a league, where he would probably be a class act. Phillips has always looked good for the Boggies whenever I have seen them. Owen... my only worry would be injuries. I have no doubt at all- AT ALL - about his football ability. In fact, I once posted on here that I think he is one of the most underrated players in the world, and I stand by that. To me, Owen is as underrated as Frank Lampard is overrated!

uncy_chris Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Does anyone seriously think Fat Fred will let Owen go without making back at least what he paid. I mean, he's played only a handful of games in over a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody offers it and he wants to go there's not much FFS can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Good shout nycVILLA, I could certainly see us letting Davis go out on loan for the season to see how he does. It certainly wouldn't do us any harm, in fact it would make perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
