There is still plenty of time to sign a few players so maybe just chill until then. Are you new here? 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same with league position. We can talk about expectations and aspirations, but shouldn't be getting outraged about where we are until the season finishes, as a lot can change. That’s what most football fans do hence why there are forums like this, why before that we did it in pubs and social clubs or Monday morning at work. I find it a bit pointless to discuss after the window has closed, it’s done, nothing is going to change, you have got what you’ve got, move onto to focusing on the football with the squad you have.

Yep football is the nonsense part of my life, I don’t think I act anywhere else in my life like discussing and watching football especially Villa. Can’t imagine every thinking, acting or talking like this in my business life. Don’t think my career would’ve gone far. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean, I'm 65 and run a business hopefully making all the right decisions and predictions but when I'm talking Villa well that's a different story!!1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often have to have a word with myself after a good day of ranting on VT or being upset about a result etc to the point where it ruins my day/week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once asked why I still cry when Villa lose “you won’t understand “ was my response as I shed more tears into my favourite blanket ,holding my teddy and munching on a farleys rusk cake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 29 minutes ago, VillaParkAvenue said: I read somewhere players wages are generally insured against injury. Even if premiums are high it’s probably still better than signing a player on a 4 year contract at 10m a year and potentially see their career ended after a few weeks. The transfer fee would still be lost. But what if you've spent £100 million on the player and then Ben Mee comes along. .? It would make sense to insure against salary and amortization but have no idea if they do or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is insured like all these big money signings are if they retire....... If that happened we get a lump of cash but I have no idea how that affects accounts for FFP as it is just a lump sum.

I don't think many people think he is rubbish just that the guy gets injured all the time. What's the fee/wages supposed to be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably end up at Roma where he can be a backup to Tammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
