Although, that is even more shocking....really starting to see the positives of this whole "relegated" situation.

useless Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Don't know why people are trying to convince themselves that Murphy is wrong with his tweet. It's not as if those players are the only ones available in the world, if the strikers he mentioned aren't going to happen then it probably follows that Xia was referring to someone else when he made 'world class number nine' tweet.

Popular Post PieFacE Posted August 23, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2016 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/transfernews/article-3754462/Newcastle-United-Aston-Villa-bid-5m-Tottenham-s-DeAndre-Yedlin-Kieran-Trippier-wants-Spurs-game-time.html Quote Newcastle and Aston Villa have made £5million bids for Tottenham right back DeAndre Yedlin. The 23-year-old is ready to leave White Hart Lane to secure regular first team football after enjoying a stint on loan at Sunderland last season. Newcastle want a replacement lined up for £8million-rated Daryl Janmaat, who is the subject of interest from West Ham and Napoli, and though they have Jesus Gamez he is yet to gain full fitness. Really Daily Mail? Publish this AFTER we announce the signing of a right back? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 As an experiment one day I think we should all collude over private messages to spam this thread with some totally random player just to see if we can get the clueless papers to make up a story about us being interested in them.

A sound principle worth adhering to most of the live-long day and you are probably right in this specific instance, but... the world ain't ALWAYS logical Mr. Useless.

But equally, could be being played by Xia and agents etc. He definitely seems much more in the loop now. I'm guessing that was partly down to Bevington while he was here. I wouldn't rule out those players coming in but not surprised if there are stumbling blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yedlin for me is much more limited, he's an excellent athlete but not much else. De Laet is a proven Championship player and I've no doubt he'll be excellent with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I like the way that when Nixon says we're in for Hernandez most believe him, but when Murphy says that it won't happen people try and convince themselves that he's wrong because he's got something wrong in the past. Pretty sure that Murphy has been a lot more reliable over the years on Villa news than Nixon. Also Xia himself at one point ruled out Hernandez. We'll just sign someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I don't think in De Laet we've signed an out and out full back, we've signed a player who is comfortable playing across the whole back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said all along, in response to your absolute certainty, you could be right and you probably are, but... you could also be wrong. Unless you are Dr Tony Useless and then you are unquestionably right. Edited August 23, 2016 by Lerner's Driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've been saying I think we'll get 4 more before end of the window seemingly the first one is done. May or may not happen but I don't doubt for one minute how hard the club is trying this window. It seems like RDM and his management team have identified all of the same problems that we fans have. It's nice to know we have management at the club who see what we see and are actively trying to redress the situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
