Ravel Morrison, thoughts? Heard Rio Ferdinand say in interviews the likes of Pogba, Januzai, Lingard would aim to be as good as him, there's always been promise there it's just his attitude.

If and when we get rid of the dead wood with no contract for petrov it leaves us with no senior players,
Just a taught.

Just saw on SSN that Mario Gomez is leaving Turkey to go back to parent club Fiorentina. He was my No1 choice as striker at start of last season, he's got the lot for a No9. I know some on here probs think we're a step down for him but apart from about 4 clubs in Turkey, their league is about the level of the Championship or lower, think it was quoted as that he's on £75K a week, would be a statement, worth a gamble?

Id take him world class just been lost mate . you don't sign for munich for nothing mate.

Stiliyan Petrov will not be offered a a contract by Aston Villa But has been offered a role to stay at the club. Good decision Roberto Di Matteo.
20 Jul 2016 20:04:17
I heard something the other day about this, was hoping it wasn't true, didn't want to put anything on here but this decision should work out for all. I can't remember if this has already been done but would be a nice gesture to retire the No19 shirt?

I think top sentiment there as well, can we do that with gabby's shirt, preferably with him still in it.
20 Jul 2016 19:22:05
Petrov not been offered a deal! Although he's a legend I think it's the right decision as much as it pains me to say it.
20 Jul 2016 19:00:28
Richards, Vertout, Kozak and Agbonlhor all left out tonight does that mean there leaving?
20 Jul 2016 18:29:43
Would anyone have ravel morrison at villa i would he would be that creative spark that's been missing.
20 Jul 2016 18:36:02
No mate, the kid has trouble written all over him. Ferguson and Allardyce couldn't cope with him; I can't see RDM being able to.
20 Jul 2016 19:01:28
I personally would take a risk on him, I think he is someone who can produce magical moments through the season.
20 Jul 2016 19:35:20
Rio Ferdinand once said that Morrison is the most naturally talented player he has played with .
The kid is in last chance saloon . Surely his last chance to prove it
I would take him on a loan with an option to buy but based on some serious stipulations of towing the line or sling it.
20 Jul 2016 19:51:31
The most naturally talented player since Joe Cole. Natural talent without dedication and a bit of luck will only take you so far.
21 Jul 2016 09:52:31
Didn't he have a season on loan with the nose knuckle draggers a few seasons ago, i seem to remember he had plaudits from most of the best journo's so like it has been said, with serious stipulations, might be worth a punt?
20 Jul 2016 15:53:04
"Stoke have made a £20m bid for West Brom striker Saido Berahino". Now why didn't we think of that? Mind you, we probably already have more than our fair share of unmanageable temperamental spoilt brats in the squad.
20 Jul 2016 16:34:42
Yeah until he has a good run of games in which he scores in then he'll demand a move to a bigger club an then have a strop for 12 month when it's denied, Stoke are welcome to him an I think it's good business for the baggies, can't see him being happy to stay at Stoke for long.
20 Jul 2016 14:09:30
Mr know it all should be hired on villas board because he knows everything .
20 Jul 2016 16:27:15
HAHA I couldn't DO ANY WORST THAN LERNER AN CO.
20 Jul 2016 14:06:12
Mr know it all what are you on about your talking 💩 mate its easy to see what the problem is with villa its the deadwood they shouldn't be near the club mate it won't take a couple of years at all mate could easily be sorted get rid of them on free transfers because no one wants them . an replace with our youngsters who want to play fir villa and are hungary.
20 Jul 2016 16:32:01
i hope your right but just don't think they will be released as it would cost a fortune to go an they have to agree zogbia didn't agree did he sat here 4 ages these players are the same mate it will take ages watch gabby won't agree to leave villa u mad no1 else will have him and he loves the money.
20 Jul 2016 16:42:34
Its annoying mate they i'd make em stay at home mate.
20 Jul 2016 17:24:20
Another person said that to me yesturday mate good idea they will soon get bored an unfit but then again most are unfit anyhow. hope somethink happens soon its been a slow summer really for everybody suppose there all waiting for deadline day.
20 Jul 2016 13:58:08
Mr know it all ohhhhhhh guess your name says it all. just putting a question mate keep your hair on mate note wrong in asking is thet plus if he was a billionair mate he'd be in 500 richest men in world an he'd not that's all so iguess your not botherd if he's pulling the wool over everyones eyes mate . i'm just curious that's all it seems a bit dodgey to me but he mite prove me wrong.
20 jul 2016 16:38:48
he is a very privite person he would not of brought the club to strip it as we have nothink worth having we are a club that used to be good his took on a challenge to get us back he knows it involves spending start panicing if he doesn't buy anybody but he is plus the rich list is voluntary anyhow mate i wasnt having ago i know you want the best 4 the club but he will never tell you how much money his got an i don't blame him i hide mine from the wife i will never tell her lol utv keep the faith.
20 Jul 2016 11:24:55
Does anyone know how much the chairmen is worth . is he a billionair I've been looking on the net and its saying he's worth 75mil that surely can't be right can it . if that's true he is going to run out of money fast . its got me puzzled now any one agree.
20 Jul 2016 11:44:26
Nobody knows and i don't think its anyones business to be fair mate he don't ask you about your bank! let's face it his not poor villa is just 1 of the businesses he as an really we are small fry to what his got. iam giving him a chance an just aslong as he backs his managers an runs us properly that's what matters! REMEMBER FOOTBALL CLUBS COST YOU MONEY NOT MAKE YOU MONEY SO HIS HERE 4 MEDALS NOT MONEY.

To coin a phrase the poor get poorer, the rich get richer!
I know an elderly get gentleman who is almost 90 . In terms of property he is a billionaire . Does he look it no, does he announce it no . Is he on the Forbes rich list no .
And why because he declares an income and the tax man comes after him!
Due diligence has been completed by the league and it was passed .
How much money Xia has is irrelevant. he could market us in China selling millions of shirts which alone could bankroll us
Manchester United are one of the richest clubs in the world. Are the owners the richest in the world? No they had to borrow to buy it . But the name sells all over the world bringing them huge incomes not just because of ticket sales .
This income alone more likely than not finances player sales .
So even is Dr Xia is a porper if he markets us in the right way and taps into the Chinese market who are we to argue? As long as it brings us success on the pitch.

Anyone who is off to the memorial today to see villa vs rovers look out for matty Taylor, he's class an could easily play at a higher level.
20 Jul 2016 10:21:34
Two weeks on Sunday to kick off, and six weeks today until the transfer window closes. However, I hope we will be out guns-blazing on the 7th because we then have 5 games before window-closure which we will need near-maximum points from in order that potential bounce-back to the Prem is still on the cards
Meanwhile, I believe RDM is still not as proficient in written English as he would like to be. In a mistyped memo to the scouts, apparently he advised them that he needed to add two out-and-out whingers to the squad - and they came straight to this site to try and sign them!
20 Jul 2016 10:08:52
Further to the olic story, have just been on the world wide wait and olic was released by hamburg so now a free agent, but still the question, a risk worth taking? for me no.
maybe rdm has a cunning plan to use him as a supersub, let's see what happens (seeing as we're looking, what are the odds the bar codes come a sniffing around also? )
20 Jul 2016 15:44:26
Don't tell Gabby there's interest in a Hamburger on the cards or he'll be straight round, knife and fork in hand. Also, I hope Olic's first name isn't Alcoh - we had enough of them in the squad during the 80's and 90's.
20 Jul 2016 18:51:51
Ha Ha-Yeah, but see how they played, always with a happy smile on their face in a drunken stupor-i think we should employ paul (ooh-ahhh) mcgrath to sort out the energy drinks at half time, i bet they'd play with no inhibitions after that!
