Sounds like pure speculation to me" And you replied, "absolutely not speculation, I will get the source" Where has Murphy said "We struggled to get our primary targets, and have now had to move to this level of target out of necessity" ? I was paraphrasing what he said. What sort of memory do you think I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Pat Murphy could be saying that to cover himself. Because he initially said that we weren't interested in McCormack or Bamford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think this will happen. A lot money but if he bangs in the goals for promotion it's worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 1 hour ago, The Moustache of Teale said: So to summarise the situation on this forum today: We've been clamouring for a proven goal scorer and today we've bid £12M for one. BUT he's not worth that despite the fact we have a billionaire owner and it's not our money. And he's too old. And fat. Oh, and slow. In spite of all that he's been prolific for the last 3 seasons. HOWEVER we have no intention of actually buying him, and regardless of that he's turned us down and agreed to join Norwich. Irrespective of all that, Sky Bet have him as huge odds on favourite to sign for Villa. Is there anything I've missed? Pretty much spot on.

I shan't lose any sleep tonight. For a minute, the way it was posted I thought it might have been fact. So glad we have agreed that it is speculation, and as such, meaningless.

alreadyexists Posted August 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2016 Not sure if mentioned in here, I didn't see it if so, but Pat Murphy also tweeted this about 7pm: Quote CONFIRMED - £11m bid from @AVFCOfficial for Ross McCormack. Developments now awaited. Someone then asked why he said it wasn't on before, and Pat replied and said, "I was told that a month ago, it's not an exact science". So sounds like it's on... And for £11m not the £12m figure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Would much rather McCormack for £12m than the guy at Bristol City, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McCormack has a cat called Nigel, Nigel's neighbours cat Jeremy is owned by a bloke called Colin, Colin's sister's daughter goes to school in Perry Bar and her teacher has a cousin that works near Aston. Anyway her cousins dog thought he heard someone saying it was true whilst sniffing a lamppost near the Villa store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was johnny on the spot at the start of the new regime and I believe he has been spot on with most things since. I've never really had Pat down as a bullshitter. When he's wrong he's wrong in good faith. I understand he can be grating at times but having spoke to him, briefly, he seems like a good egg. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Farlz Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Mail article I linked earlier has now been updated with Quote Aston Villa have beaten Norwich to the signing of Fulham striker Ross McCormack after agreeing a £14million deal. The Scotland international will travel to the Midlands on Wednesday to sign a four year contract. Norwich had offered £11m plus add-ons and expected to sign the 29-year-old this week but Villa made their move on Monday and agreed to pay £12m with a further £2m in add-ons on Tuesday night.
