R1chuk Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Our operating costs have been reduced dramatically and we should be in profit. Any profit will be re-invested in the squad. HDE managed to balance the books for all those years and we were more competitive than now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 However, I do know that a post that begins with a stupid statement like "The haters are hilarious" isn't really worth bothering with. Yet you read it, quoted and responded to it. Makes sense i suppose.I quoted it to dismiss it. That makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The week before Christmas:Lambert: "HH, the Villa fans are slagging me off something rotten. If this goes on, I'll lose my job."HH: "I know, I'll post something vague about a loan signing and make it sound really tasty. Then they'll spend all their time trying to guess who it is instead."Lambert: "HH, you're a genius." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Is this the reason for the big name loan signing that will give the place a lift? A necessity because Benteke is going to Arsenal http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-rumour-mill-christian-6454696 Hairyhands said: What else would he like? A signing that gives the fans a lift. This would be a loan. Someone who the fans would know already and would like. A bigger name as such. Someone to give the place a lift. This would be a loan.

Ginko Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) What is the point in quoting Mark Lawrenson? Not only does he not know Wenger's transfer plans, it's Mark bloody Lawrenson for Christ's sake! Edited December 30, 2013 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a load of bollocks from Lawrenson. For a start if we can't get 25 mil for him why should we sell him to Arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Anyone see Lambert's press conference? He's saying practically everything HH has posted in this thread - right down to the details of eventually only having to sign 1 or 2 per window. What on Earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes already proven he either knows pl extremely well or is the man himself, he posts with far too much accuracy to be a fraud. Just hope he continues to post whoever it is, nice to have a link to whats going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a more concrete link than Mark Lawrenson's opinion, which counts for absolutely nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Do you honestly believe nobody will put up £25 million for him? I can believe Spurs won't this window. Why not Arsenal? It makes sense for them. £25 million is affordable for a top quality striker and Benteke is on relatively low wages here, so he won't be immediately earning Toure money. We don't have to sell him, but if HH is legit we have evidence they're looking for a big name loan to come in ... it doesn't take a huge leap of logic to consider the reason for that is that Benteke will go and will have to be replaced not only by someone good, but by someone whom the fans will enjoy supporting because he has a bit of charisma.

Mantis Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm not ruling it out, I just think it's going a bit far to say "Benteke is going to Arsneal" just because Mark Lawrenson (of all people) thinks he would be good there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny*Nunny Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 And although things can change, HH has been discussing the benefits of having a fit Benteke playing for us after the new year which sounds like there's no intention to sell, to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I don't think he'll be sold. I think he'll have a decent end to the season, go to the WC, score a few goals and go for big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
