VillanousOne Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 it is amazing how easy the clubs around us are finding it to buy players..... are they all risking high wages and unsustainability and gambling heavily or are am i missing something? People say Moyes is underfunded but look at the quality of some of the players he had at his disposal today? He has sold loads but still has a better squad than we do????

CI Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Dont we get about £50m a year tv money for being a PL club ? If we've only spent £8m so far, I'd expect at least £12m more to be available Any budget short of £20m for a new manager is suicidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This thread is going to be super fun over the next 6 days. Do the mods still do red and yellow cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heskeygoalmachine Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would love to see Matt Phillips in a villa top so much. He is a player i think would do really well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa75 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This is our poorest squad in twenty years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This would be realistic and pretty good tbh IN Aaron Cresswell 4m + Addons Matt Philips 4m + Addons Freddie Zaha 5m + Addons Emmanuel Frimpong Loan with Buy Clause of 4.5m OUT Warnock 1m Hutton 1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 does anyone remember the darkest days under DOL when we took Erik Bakke on loan from Leeds and he actually did alright but we had to send him back because his wages were to high!

UTVPK Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Expect 2 i perm and 1 possibly on loan with view to buy and 2 out, again possible another other out on loan, making it three. At this stage of the window it's clubs not selling until there is a replacement/ holding out for best price. Keep the faith UTV I.L.I.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 villa, simply are rubbish in the transfer market and have been since the past 6 managers no decent strikers will want to come to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If I have to pay the 10 pounds I promised to VT at the end of the week we will be relegated this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would love to see Matt Phillips in a villa top so much. He is a player i think would do really well for us. This. A proper winger with lots of promise. Not someone who runs the ball out of play, or occasionally beats a player, then rather than getting a cross in waits for the defender to get back and make a block.

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This would be realistic and pretty good tbh IN Aaron Cresswell 4m + Addons Matt Philips 4m + Addons Freddie Zaha 5m + Addons Emmanuel Frimpong Loan with Buy Clause of 4.5m OUT Warnock 1m Hutton 1m Sorry but 3 championship players, two of which completely unproven in this league and still not fully developed, does not represent particularly great business IMO. Big risks there. The fact is we need established 'quality' to come into our first team if we want to guarantee safety this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This would be realistic and pretty good tbh IN Aaron Cresswell 4m + Addons Matt Philips 4m + Addons Freddie Zaha 5m + Addons Emmanuel Frimpong Loan with Buy Clause of 4.5m OUT Warnock 1m Hutton 1m Whilst I think those could be good signings, I think the squad is crying out for some experience, a couple of 25 year old + players and a couple of quality younger players. AVFC needs a spine, it doesn't really have much of one right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's going to be an interesting week ahead, we REALLY need more players, I'm confident we will see 2-3 ins, I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I agree that we need experienced quality to come into the team, but I don't think they all necessarily have to be from the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hypothetical Transfers Game (I'm bored)...... you have £8m to spend + 50% of sales, wages must be reduced (be realistic) overall. Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Paul Lambert / Randy Still Learning, listen to me: Go and get Michael Dawson to partner Vlaar. AVB doesnt want him, Clark is hopeless and banned we need a CB and the guy is quality. Pay what you have to to get him, otherwise we will keep leaking goals, and thus end up relegated, thus losing millions. Get warnock back in at LB, Cresswell is not good dont know what Lambert sees in him. Its better to play Warnock than rookies, we might dislike the guy but he's more assured than the youth. Get a goalscorer in. DB is like a chocolate teapot on his own (no racism). You paid £24m last time you were concerned about relegation when we were cutting back 2 years ago- and that situation was nowhere near as bad as this one. And get a winger in, someone who can supply, Adam Johnson was the perfect candidate but we were tight again as we just sat back and let another rival club move above us in terms of quality and will be the club we were 3/4 years ago. All the above will not happen, we're as good as down. Prove me wrong or SELL UP tonmorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not someone who runs the ball out of play, or occasionally beats a player, then rather than getting a cross in waits for the defender to get back and make a block. If we are going to take any lower league players I would rather have Thomas Ince & Jordan Rhodes. But, we really need some Premier League experience in the team and hopefully we can get a LB, winger, DM & a striker in before the end of the window. I would also put Lichaj in at right back because Lowton looks out of his depth at the.moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
