Con Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ward-Prowse is a great talent who will get an England call up next year. They still have Rodriguez. Chambers has also proved himself decent this season. They may have more youngsters coming through. Plus they will spend millions on some fancy name. Betting on them for relegation is a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Be interesting to see who they get to replace Pochettino when he leaves for Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) One thing pissing me off is the Saints fans down here. Woe is me, how will we cope. Woe is me, we might go down. Woe is me, what a disaster. Woe is me we are in the worst situation in the league. **** off! Try being Villa!!!!

Popular Post LondonLax Posted June 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2014 I can understand their frustration though. They are at that point we came to a few years ago when the fan base realises you cant make it to the top table by clever organic growth because the richer clubs just pick your team apart as soon as you get anywhere near. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 5, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2014 And Shaw, and Lovren, and Schneiderlin. (possibly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thing is they can then reinvest about £60m in their squad. Get the right manager in and they will be fine. I wonder whether Moyes would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 5, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thing is they can then reinvest about £60m in their squad. Get the right manager in and they will be fine. I wonder whether Moyes would be interested. That is two rather large assumptions though, one that the owner (the daughter of the original owner) wants to reinvest and two that they appoint the right manager who invests wisely. As a Villa fans we should be all too aware that selling your best players doesn't mean that the money will be reinvested or that the right manager will be appointed to spend it. They could easily suffer the same as we have these last 4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I am picking Saints to struggle next year.They have ( or are going to lose ) their manager,Llana and Lambert and the transfer window hasent even opened yet I erroneously predicted they'd struggle last season, which should probably teach me not to make predictions. Nevertheless I can't help renewing my prediction this season, as it appears they're losing not just their manager but the very spine of their team.

Rovers13 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Spurs team could be decent. Get lovren, a left back and maybe a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 11, 2014 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2014 I feel sorry for them I really do, we've been there and it's horrible.

I'm with you there mate, really sad to see it happen especially when we've had it happen to us. As you say, what is the point? Better yet, how can a team move forward when their squad is torn apart as soon as they have a good season. Even their manager was taken, makes it impossible for a team to push on into that upper region of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The rewards for moderate success are to have your team gutted. It's a pity for them but good for us by adding another team to the relegation mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Grew up in Southampton.... Pretty much all my mates are Saints fans and they are my second team... I like to see them do well as long as its not against us so naturally I feel bad for my mates and for the club because what is happening to them is pretty much a carbon copy of what happened to us a few years ago... There should be some rules in place whereby the higher up the league you finish, the less transfers you make unless you sell some of your first team members first... Like the draft system in the states where the worst placed teams get the first pick for the best players Wouldnt work though because its all geared towards separating the top teams from the others...
