Changeing the subject what are peoples thoughts on big sam eng manager i think its the right appointment he will kick the players bcksides its what villa needed b4 we got garde.



21 Jul 2016 23:13:41
really like him mate said 4 years his a great manager.



22 Jul 2016 08:58:54
good appointment. think he will do well.



21 Jul 2016 21:34:57
Cant beleive we haven't signed 2 wingers an 2 strikers yet villa are well short at the moment if we haven't got the money then blood our youngsters its simple il take that but if we have got money then we need to hurry up asap.



21 Jul 2016 21:28:09
Villa dave my point was . we are missing out on all these quality players which would make our team better mate . that's my point because all them players would make a huge difference in our team mate.



21 Jul 2016 22:19:21
We don't know for certain who we are in for, most of it is just paper talk.
Your point that you were trying to make did not read that way, sorry for not realising that.



21 Jul 2016 19:51:28
One more point if we are to play big rudi doesn't everyone think we need two wingsers that can cross the ball that would help . like when we had big jonny carew with young an downing feeding him . we need 2 wingers similar too them.



21 Jul 2016 20:39:24
I'm going to sound like such a nerd now lol. If Rudy is predominantly right footed, his left leg will be his leaping leg so crosses coming from the right wing would give him more of an advantage so a true right footed, gets to the byline winger would be enough, Traore could do it, not that I'd wanna buy him, Aaron Lennon is that style of winger. This could of happened but never will for Villa now, but imagine Benteke and Lukaku up front, then I'd have 2 wingers,?

Well ncastle going to steam roll championship look at their signings to ours its a joke so we couldn't sign gayle ritchie or hanley it frustrates me because we are by far the bigger club but we took to long to sign the quality players . I still think we will go up thou it will be play off final win .



21 Jul 2016 19:54:47
Doesn't much matter then does it?
Cant see your point.



21 Jul 2016 20:12:08
As someone posted previously (and it resonated because it was spot on) Benitez had 10-15 games to assess his squad last season.
The minute the last ball was kicked he already would have had a plan as to what he needed.
This is not a luxury that Xia and RDM have had. Roberto has to assess, recruit and cull 6-7 players in the space of a pre-season. We are halfway there, if we end up with another 2-3 additions of decent quality in the next few weeks (with 1 or 2 of the duds going the other way) I will be reasonably happy
Also, hinting at the idea, albeit indirectly, that Newcastle is an example of how a club should be run is sort of laughable when you consider their recent history.



21 Jul 2016 20:48:03
Spot on Mendex.



21 Jul 2016 21:07:16
Why don't we just get behind the team?

Plenty of teams have gone down . QPR had a pretty good team but almost suffered double relegation .

Newcastle have good team, but like us got relegated along with Norwich . On paper the Newcastle team looks better than ours . But also on paper the villa team of last season shouldn't of got relegated as there was on paper worse teams than ours .

On paper Leicester shouldn't of won the premier league . But they did .

Having the best team doesn't mean a thing . You have to also be lucky, have the right manager and training methods but also team spirit .

Let's just get behind the team stop moaning . The club needs positivity from top to bottom . From the players, management, fans everyone

This is a clean slate post Lerner era . A chance to just start again . Let RDM AND THE MANAGEMENT TEAM JUST AIM TO GET IT RIGHT .



21 Jul 2016 22:39:45
Spot on, Villa kenn. Some Villa fans will moan whatever happens.



21 Jul 2016 20:40:52
Newcastle always mess it up fella

21 jul 2016 17:39:24
just a question 4 all you villa fans after last seasons terrible campaign has our new owner an management team done enough to improve things newcastle utd have signed 6 players and have let a lot go have we done enough buying an selling wise to bounce back up straight away?



21 Jul 2016 19:00:12
We can`t say can we, nobody knows, we all thought we had done enough last year with all the signings we made and look where it got us.
Its quality, drive and ambition that we need, and I must say I feel we have done good business on those points.
We still need a few more, then it is a case of let`s see what happens.
Forget Newcastle and the others, it`s what we do that matters.



21 Jul 2016 19:38:24
Look at this another way, a strong Newcastle is going to take points off teams in and around the top 6 which can only be good for us? I'm sure there'll be a flurry of comings and goings deadline week for us, got to get that marquee striker in soon though to give all Villa fans some optimism

It would appear kodija is now attracting interest from premier league teams, so time to pay b. city the extra 1.5 million and put the deal to bed. needing a striker is not so much the elephant in the room, but its taking up all of the room and we need a midfield general in the mold of joey barton minus the cigars obviously.

shame we didn't go for hanley, properly long season ahead. i think his knowledge and aggression might have worked well with elphick's measured, encouraging approach, oh well, maybe just maybe elphick might just turn clark et all into proper players like terry helped cahill.

maybe that's rdm's logic, and now wolves have new chinese owners i think we need to buy what we need right now, because they'll wanna show they mean business transfer wise, we don't need bidding wars kicking off, let's just spend the dough and have done with it, feet up, watching the merry-go-round of last day transfers.

there's a reason fergie stayed top of the tree for so long, get your business done quick and get on with blending your buys in. hope xia and the board tumble this quickly.



21 Jul 2016 17:41:17
Hanley would av been class.



21 Jul 2016 18:01:36
If i brought a football club i would want a marquee signing and try an excite the fans day after day goes by an nothinks happenin an if we do sell its only decent players leaving all the trouble causes are still there am i right to be worried all these chinese investing in football but not much money been spent at clubs.



21 Jul 2016 20:00:07
I would too mate u want to excite the fans mate an give them hope mate not give em bad thoughts by signing no name players look at manu signed ibra an soon to be pogba so there fans are going to be buzzing . can't rember last time i was excited by a villa signing mate ha ha.



21 Jul 2016 20:18:03
There you have it mate.



21 Jul 2016 16:27:34
Why don't we go for someone like peter odemwingi, was on loan at bristol city from stoke last season, so he clearly didn't mind stepping down a division for regular game time, pay as you go or low wages-big bonus 12 month contract worth a punt maybe?

we've got just over 2 weeks till the new hoofers league starts, i know rdm and steve clarke are doing their best identifying targets, but we were supposed to be getting in a recruitment firm to do the leg work on the deals, does anyone know if this has happened yet, because that would allow rdm and stevey c to get on with coaching and not be side tracked surely. just a thought.



21 Jul 2016 16:49:19
He's in talks with hull so as a good signing it would be, bit unlikely now.



21 Jul 2016 07:08:53
Last night highlights just how much we need a striker, Gustede and Sinclair missing so many chances at the end of the game! Read we have bid for Kodija but would love to see us go for Naki Wells from Huddersfield, Gustede would be brilliant in the right partnership an think wells would work well.



21 Jul 2016 16:28:27
Wells is a good call, let's hope we don't dilly dally too much longer for whoever it is we go for, roughly 2 weeks left.



21 Jul 2016 00:04:14
Gutted stan hasn't got a contract he would of been good in dressing room which lacks leaders . surely pay as you play would of been good wouldn't it . think that's a big boo boo by rdm he will go to celtic now bet you any money we need players like him gutted iam . wots they to loose on him .



21 Jul 2016 02:05:29
He supposed to have been offered a role at the club - anyone got any info on what kind of position?



21 Jul 2016 00:33:23
his 37 he wasnt the best when he was young really always passing the ball sideways an backward great story iam glad he recovered from cancer and hope he becomes a coach but you can't play a 37 year old what when he makes mistakes that cost us because he would of done fans would go mad his a great guy but villa have moved on now we need to build for the future god u will want carew back next. you can't have a player because its a good story its not a rocky film! GUD LUCK STAN TAKE A COACHING ROLE.
