Well here it is in all it’s glorious splendour our new away kit.I really like this it looks neat & bang tidy.
I think this strip is the best out of the 3 inc GK of course.
What are your thoughts?UTV
Macron have done well this time with both home and away.I actually like both which is unlike me as normally I just go for the away but I might get both home and away this time utv
I always wear any Villa shirt with pride Giddy, but now I’m beginning to understand the other side of things, where I always ask supporters of lesser clubs “why do you support them?”, while expecting the answer, “because they’re my local team”.
Which is where I always say “fair play to you!”.
The shoe’s beginning to feel like it’s on the other foot these days 🙁
We obviously can… Kinda puts the whole we couldn’t afford 35k for Albrighton into true perspective. We’ve have a fair bit of room for wages now, and Cole’s affordable. Cole and N’Zogbia wouldn’t be bad in all fairness.
I’m now sure you’re being deliberately provocative Andrew 🙂
That’s fair enough.
It won’t happen and I’d put money on it.
We will not pay the wages he wants, simple.
I don’t even know what he wants, but I’ll bet it’s more than £30k a week, which will rule him out automatically.
Wouldn’t rule him out at all. I have little doubt Senderos came in on at least 30k a week, probably 40k a week. Everyone’s claiming we’ve signed him and it’ll be done tomorrow, SSN’s, radio’s, etc etc. 1-2 year deal, read different things but I have no doubt we could afford his 40-50k wages that he’s brought down a lot from West Ham.
IncogAVFC claims Cole’s a done deal tomorrow, Keane’s set to be announced soon after, and then there will be more news after that. Interesting.

All bad news proves there will be no takeover this season. Means we are stuck with lambert and if he does go then we have keane as a cheap option practising on us. No thanks so fuckin glad I didn’t buy ST
Both Senderos and Cole improve the tean/squad over last year. It may not be as exciting as we wish for, but there were times last season when we were crying out for the experience that these two, along with the returning outcasts will give us.
i don’t expect fans to be jumping up with joy, but just consider where we are. Lerner is trying to sell, and its hard to see any real benefit in the short term from adding too much to the wage bill and spending large amounts on transfers. Hopefully this type of signing will be enough to keep us in the Premiership while keeping the sale price down.
I am struggling to believe we are anywhere close to being sold, and Ianrobo is noticeable by his absence these days. The club does tend to do business under the radar these days, as Senderos and Cole shows (and Keane maybe). Perhaps the same will be true of the sale of the club.
Fair comment DS, Senderos and Cole sure aren’t going to do the squad any harm are they? And how many of us were calling a little quality and experience last term? So now we get some in and they aint good enough?
Come on people get a grip.
And as DS points out the club is up for sale, it’s in Dixons window and so Randy is hardly likely to fork out the money for an extension, new roof and a conservatory is he?
The best we can expect is a tin of paint and the odd roll of paper to cover the cracks.

bear in mind cole will be 33 for most of the season as his birthday is nov

your right DS we are not selling imo iv said all along its a ruse by lerner to maintain the status quo on the cheap and to appease the fans. Masterstroke imo as its working
I couldn’t disagree with you more there Oohah. I think he is desperate to sell. What is clear is that he didn’t have a buyer ready when he made the announcement, but I think most of us knew that.
OohAhPaulMcGrathJune 10, 2014 at 5:10 pm . PermalinkReply
i just cant see it happening DS the fact that lamberk is still here for next season and still signing players proves nothing will be happening this season. I can see us being exactly the same position next year its just a con
I don’t think Lambert being here makes any difference to a sale. Just makes sense to do what we can within the limits Lerner has imposed. He will sell if he gets around £200M. Whether that happens is anyone’s guess.
OohAhPaulMcGrathJune 10, 2014 at 7:15 pm . PermalinkReply
Well we are stuck with this situation for at least a year and probably a lot longer. Saved a small fortune on st thankfully every cloud and all that!!
OohAhPaulMcGrathJune 10, 2014 at 9:45 pm . PermalinkReply
Yes but Lerner has deliberately priced himself out the market at £200m he won’t get that
Did Lerner actually ever claim he wanted 200m? Or is it a figure the media came up with simply because that’s how much he’s put into the club and they believe he wants to not lose out on it?
OohAhPaulMcGrathJune 11, 2014 at 12:45 am . PermalinkReply
Well whatever the exact figure is is irrelevant bottom line is no one wants us for now and we are stuck with Lerner and lamberk into the new season. Just can’t be arsed with the club now I really don’t give a shit with those two jokers at the helm. I refuse to set foot in VP ever again until those two have well and truly gone which potentially could take years in Lerner’s case
That is your prerogative and right but to claim he’s priced himself out seems a bit farfetched. No doubt he wants to sell and as a businessman, he’s hoping to recoup money + not price himself out of selling.

Only time will tell but for the moment I just can’t support the club with this regime i really don’t care anymore. This regime has knocked my love for the club out my system it’s a big like an old girlfriend you’ve loved all your life then find out she’s not the person u thought she so you go off her.
Cole is a decent signing in all fairness, brings bags of experience and is an attacking midfielder, may not be what we were all hoping for but id rather we have him than not. Same with Senderos, decent backup if Vlaar or Okore are out and has lots of experience. Obviously Lescott would have been my first choice but I think he will have set his sights higher than us to be fair.
joe cole is shitJune 10, 2014 at 9:53 am . PermalinkReply
What an earth are you basing the fact that Joe Cole is a decent signing?
The club is in a shocking state and this is just the icing on the cake.
Desperate.
joe cole is shitJune 10, 2014 at 9:56 am . PermalinkReply
Breaking news everbody……
I am hearing that Keith Curle is currently having a medical at Villa Park!
Great signing under the circumstances.
Nath who do you really expect a club in limbo to sign???? Top of the range???? Not a hope in hell mate getting some old wise heads in is what’s needed to influence the youngsters.it might work it might not to me it’s a step in the right direction.wait & see first before passing judgement
giddy thats not me i am me lol i only just switched on
i am happy joe cole as signed if its correct i heard it on radio earlier, listen it about experience and ability he has both, yes hes not gonna last 90minutes but i think he improves us, i am happy
please fook off the person using my colours lmao, u can tell when its me bad grammar and txt talk on mob lol
We are signing cast offs who can’t get another club.
Why would any decent players even think about signing for this club at the moment.
Worst of all the signing of Cole and possibly Hoolahan will further retrict the like of Grealish, Carruthers, Gardner etc.
Lambert has proved that he only picks his signings.
Hoolahan didn’t celebrate his goal against us (after the jan transfer window was shut) because Lambert told him he was coming in the summer. Me thinks

Joe Cole, a very good player, 10 years ago, and 5 years ago. Wasn’t really given a run out last season and age looks to be getting the better of him from the times I saw him last season.
On the flip side. Technique never goes away and he has that in abundance, can pick a pass, take players on and knows where the goal is, attributes nonoe of current midfield have, bar a good day from Delph.
I’m not against this signing in teh slightest and it’s no embarrasement to have him at the Villa. It could be worse and he is far better than Westwood, Bacuna, Tonev, Sylla and KEA regardless of his age.
A leader? Not a word I would associate with Cole but still, he has bag loads of experience.
Exactly what can we seriously expect in our situation, I think people like Nath ( Joe cole is shit) need to take their head out of their arse and actually see where we are as a club right now!
I think Cole is a positive move, I thought we would sign bugger all and really struggle, but as BWS has said, Senderos is far better than Baker or Clarke and Cole will bring some technical nous and great passing with him !! We can’t expect any massive signings while we are in this limbo land and these two are far better than some dog eared 15 year old, division 3 player from Lithuania !!

lol, well said mate, my thoughts exactly, some fans need their head shaken
Well he’s at Villa now having a medicle, anyone’s better than what we had, don’t let issues of him being from a larger club make you think he’s unable to perform, me give him that chance,

Well here it is in all it’s glorious splendour our new away kit.I really like this it looks neat & bang tidy.
Looks good , in fact nice design, but that’s as far as it goes not buying.
Have to say this looks right nice. MAcron did good with this one, a lot better than the home jersey. Gonna be ordering this after I post this comment
if i decide watch us this season in the flesh, i will get me this shirt 🙂 i like this
Macron have done well this time with both home and away.I actually like both which is unlike me as normally I just go for the away but I might get both home and away this time utv
RETRO
Ps I’d buy it & it’s fuck all to do with ST’S
through thick and thin you gotta wear the colours mate utv
AGREED MD8 WHERE IT WITH PRIDE
I always wear any Villa shirt with pride Giddy, but now I’m beginning to understand the other side of things, where I always ask supporters of lesser clubs “why do you support them?”, while expecting the answer, “because they’re my local team”.
Which is where I always say “fair play to you!”.
The shoe’s beginning to feel like it’s on the other foot these days 🙁
Badger I know where your coming from MATE, the VILLA are in my blood to me I’m there biggest critic but fuck me I LOVE THEM.
This is the one I’ll buy.
Although I’d prefer it with the Acorns logo, that you can get with the junior’s and kid’s kit, but not the adult’s?
It’s a nice shirt, very much in the European cup mould, but that Dafabet logo is just embarrassing, imo.
Now we’re apparently after Joe Cole, according to the Daily Mail.
A player who Fat Sam didn’t rate as good enough.
This is what we’re now down to. 🙁
Seriously ffs. That can’t be true we’d never afford his wages. Joe cole 8-10 years ago yes but not now ffs!!
We obviously can… Kinda puts the whole we couldn’t afford 35k for Albrighton into true perspective. We’ve have a fair bit of room for wages now, and Cole’s affordable. Cole and N’Zogbia wouldn’t be bad in all fairness.
I’m now sure you’re being deliberately provocative Andrew 🙂

Lol, more news doesn’t mean bad news nor does anything we’ve done prove we won’t get taken over.
The season ticket renwal line must be ringing off the hook with signings of Sendeross and Cole…!
Both Senderos and Cole improve the tean/squad over last year. It may not be as exciting as we wish for, but there were times last season when we were crying out for the experience that these two, along with the returning outcasts will give us.

I think it’s make good of a bad situation as DS is basically saying which I agree.free’s & loans get used to it,I welcome the experience.

Sorry mate.
Come on fella no ones denying the club is a total clutter f**k but Cole’s got to be a better option than Bowery and Senderos than Baker / Clarke.
that dosnt say much does it. my 100 yr old gran is better too but we wouldnt sign her
We are signing cast offs who can’t get another club.
Why would any decent players even think about signing for this club at the moment.
Worst of all the signing of Cole and possibly Hoolahan will further retrict the like of Grealish, Carruthers, Gardner etc.
Lambert has proved that he only picks his signings.
its all a smokescreen Roy Keane is actually signing as a No 2 – right back.
I can’t see us going for Hoolahan now that we’ve signed Cole, but I doubt the rumors will stop anyway.
Hoolahan didn’t celebrate his goal against us (after the jan transfer window was shut) because Lambert told him he was coming in the summer. Me thinks

i never said anything of the sorts ???????
Sorry for having a pop mate thought it was you from Giddy’s comment!
I think Cole is a positive move, I thought we would sign bugger all and really struggle, but as BWS has said, Senderos is far better than Baker or Clarke and Cole will bring some technical nous and great passing with him !! We can’t expect any massive signings while we are in this limbo land and these two are far better than some dog eared 15 year old, division 3 player from Lithuania !!
lol, well said mate, my thoughts exactly, some fans need their head shaken
and he isn’t exactly going to be on massive wages so it’s worth a gamble, if he’s on form he’s still got quality.
Bowery to Rotheram on a permanent deal on the OS, is this old news?
Well he’s at Villa now having a medicle, anyone’s better than what we had, don’t let issues of him being from a larger club make you think he’s unable to perform, me give him that chance,
