I’ve got to be honest, there’s nothing really going on, is there?
It’s mainly more about players leaving than coming in and the truth is it makes sense that we get rid of the over-paid and under-used players like N’zog and Gabby.
Sendoros is another good example and while I don’t recall what he was being paid, you can bet your boots it’s been a fortune while he hasn’t even had a squad number.
Just another classic case of how the Villa seem to get everything wrong over the last few years.
Not that I blame the player.
He seemed to perform to a fair level and was perfectly within his rights to stay and take the money, but I note his contract was terminated via mutual agreement.
I wonder what that cost us? as you can bet it wouldn’t have been for free.
We’re apparently still in for the goalie and are trying a second appeal to the FA, if I read the story correctly (my eyes gloss over at any story that involves us buying players, if I’m honest).
Which all smacks of the club trying to look like it’s doing it’s best, but ultimately knowing it’s bound to fail.
No doubt Deadly’s advising on this front, as he’s the grandmaster at that game, isn’t he?
There are other stories about how we’re going to splash the cash, but we all know it isn’t going to happen and at best we might get a couple of lesser names in, just to make it look good. Which is all well and good, but will they actually improve the squad? I doubt it.
And then there’s assistant manager Peter Grant under Mcleish’s tenure calling us fans “delusional”.
To which I’d just say “Who?”
Clear off you mug.
We don’t need anyone who was partly responsible for some of the worst football I’ve ever seen commenting on us fans.
What a nerve!
And anyway, I don’t believe we are delusional.
Unless expecting a club of our size and standing, to be better than relegation material is classed as such.
Peter grants delusional thinking he had a footballing brain he was as clueless as that Scottish PRICK. Pot & kettle springs to mind
Further proof of the clubs ambition by the amount of current transfer activity. It doesn’t wash with me that players don’t want to sign because we are doomed to relegation. There is plenty of players in The Championship who are a lot better than what we have who would jump at the chance of joining us, regardless of what division we will be in next season.
The club has and will continue to take the piss out of the fans by linking themselves with numerous players who they have no chance of getting to simply keep fans believing there is still hope at the club.
The truth is we won’t sign anybody of note and IF we do sign anybody at all you can bet your life they will be sold as soon as they begin to make a name for themselves.
Just get in Jordan Rhodes a striker with instinct. Then when we go down he can get us back up.
Only if he’s a freebie.
What a farce, we’re head to head with Tottenham for Henry, one winner there, Toner 21 year old cb under 21 captain for Villa off to Hudderfield he’s been with Villa for 4 years. Nothing’s in that for us to shout about. Garde ready to off load players. Hey ho.
And doesn’t want paying!
Given that it’s very depressing at the moment here’s a slightly positive thought! I tend to believe Garde to be honest and not given to a load of spin and he does seem to want Kalinic. If we are making a second appeal could it be because the FA have indicated what is required for it to be successful.
I know, I know, wishful thinking but it’s too early to hit the malt bottle!
It is a bloody disgrace that no one has come in yet. I am really pissed of like must Villa fans, to way the club is being run. We are a laughing stock of the premiership.
If it’s any consolation to you Dave, we’ll only be the laughing stock of the premiership for another four months………..
Sir Earl, I think it will Cary on in the Championship Villa being the whipping team and a laughing stock. Still I’m going back to fishing but still have to sell a number plate that identifies me a a Villa fan.
In last week’s episode of Villa, Randy once again tried to kill Tom, but couldn’t. Reme tried to talk goalkeeper Kalinic into leaving Hajduk Split and going to B6 but couldn’t. Unable to have the only goal keeper he wanted Reme decided to stick with brad.
Meanwhile, Debuchy was telling Reme he could never see him again. Reme walked in and found Big Sam kissing Debuchy, little did he know Big Sam was kissing him off.
Reme, unable to have Kalinic , the only keeper he wants just can’t live without him and finding the defender he wants in the arms of Big Sam is just too much.
Confused?
You won’t be after this week’s episode of AVFC.
That’s more exciting than watching them play – just don’t tell Randy he might just see it as the next big money making opportunity.
I look forward to the next episode.
Sorry Hitchy but you’re just gonna have to wait for next weeks episode of Vsoap.
🙂
Testing
Tell me about it 🙂
Let’s face it. The hierarchy at the club have clearly given up hope of staying in the Prem, and they can save a few bob by not investing now, taking the end of season Sky payment, and then looking at what we need to get out of the Championship.
It’s a pretty poor state but it’s what we have had coming for a number of seasons. Lerner couldn’t have made a bigger mess if he had set out intending to do so. My fear is that he hasn’t finished screwing up and that there’s even worse to come.
LOL It was a test post MATE having probs
I cant believe we still haven’t managed to bring in a single player! Every day I check the news feeds and all I see are the clubs around us making good buys.
I know its hard to entice players to a team that is rock bottom, but loan players should not be a problem, nor players from lesser European leagues.
I almost think the board may have given up on our chances, and the players we are being linked to are just a smokescreen.
Seems like Gabby us off to Turkey, whilst Zog fleeces us for every last dime.
Christ this is depressing. Is there a Dignitas equivalent for football clubs?
Are you reading what I’ve read Bum Bum? Abonglahor to Turkey, Sunderland jumped in for both our wants, Khazi, Debuchy, Cuzan going on loan, and Zog digging in 63 thousands a week and not bothered .
NZOGs a penny pinching wanker he’s making the most of his final big payday at a club,seems like the mackems don’t have scouts they just get our links wasn’t kone one of ours aswell.??
Hollis and Fox haven’t got time to p*ss about signing players they are too busy with Excell – working on their business model!
Blimey – anybody would think this is a football club we support – it’s not it’s just another business with consumers. ‘Sell them another shirt Foxy boy’
Looks like we’re fooling a Turkish club into signing Gabby, some good news at least.
Garde is really tackling the wasters, fair play. If Lerner and Fox weren’t so useless and ambitionless, I would be feeling really positive about the future with Remi at the helm
So how much is a camel worth? And what will a Turkish club be prepared to pay for one?
What about McCormak from Fulham? 15 goals for team at wrong end of table…and at least we know he can score in the Championship!
No chance, he gets paid at Fulham. The board are probably looking at only signing loan players who are doing community service, because there would be no transfer fee or wages to pay!!
SSN just reported debuchy going somewhere but doesn’t know where & a decision should be made quickly according to Wenger.is it the player or VILLA???probably us quibbling over the fee so far zero spend LOL
I’m at a mind now Giddy, this is a set up, Garde been appointed to get rid of dead wood and he gets a percentage of money saved, the work comes next season by bringing in a and selling on. Theirs no footballers this window, just keeping us guessing and hoping fans will come back.
three and a half days to save our club and the board have done absolutely nothing… You could say there is lots of work going on behind the scenes, but thats like having a massive pipeline with no sales…… This club is a joke and now we have Fred Elliot in charge… This time next year we will be routed to the bottom of the Championship… guaranteed !
‘money doesn’t buy success’LMAO yes Mr chairman & your standing by that.spending absolutely no money gets you failure.we’re really a club going places LOL
Yep – places like Brighton, Leeds and Walsall!
And the next piece of news to gladden all your hearts is Shabby is staying and Remi wants him to (according to the Express anyway).
What next Remi has a cosy tete a tete with Msr NZog and announces all is forgiven and he’s signed a new five year contract for £75k a week. When asked why Remi said – ‘of course he speaks French so he will get on well with the new coach’
Just been reading that you have to laff REMI comments if shabbys in the right mood he’ll score goalsLOL basically he’s saying it depends on which shabby turns up.I really thought his days were finished improved contract next?
How is team like Sunderland,Swansea,Newcastle spending money on new players and we can’t!!!?? Player we have been linked with going elsewhere like Sunderland who in the same relagation battle as us. The board don’t care and they not trying to get us out this mess just letting us sink! Over sea owner once again damage a English club!!!
