Does anyone no why villa seem to be loaning out players instead of selling. Obviously closer they our to end of contract the less we will get for them . Also what is micheal richards upto on thousands a week?



29 Jan 2018 22:11:10
No one wants them or no one will match their wages so players don’t want to go. As much as people would have you believe Richards is on 100k, he’s probably between 30-50k, which is ridiculous for a championship player and even more ridiculous when you consider he doesn’t actually play. Most players bar him and gabby had relegation clauses in their contracts that halved their wages, probably the reason why they are still here and the likes of Lescott left. Judging by comments made from previous managers, Bruce and the board most the squad is on around 30k a week, McCormack, Terry, maybe Kodjia and probably Snodgrass are on about 50k.



29 Jan 2018 22:37:04
Sounds about right just annoying as we have a spending ban and cannot off load anyone . Panick buying comes at a cost .



30 Jan 2018 09:48:42
Let's be honest who wants the likes of gabby and Richards on there wages?
Villa have wasted millions every year on poor players and now we are stuck with them until there contracts run out,



30 Jan 2018 09:48:38
What cost?



29 Jan 2018 19:26:24
Lots of different opinions on here about a striker, just for fun, pick the 1 you think will happen, not who you want, and if you're right, you're King of The January window, I'm going a last minute Sturridge stunner

How about that turkish striker-
nonof ya foowkin bizniz
Apparently he's got a bit of an attitude!



29 Jan 2018 22:12:49
Maybe absoloot lee nowan, foo kin nowans brother, meant to be the better of the two.



30 Jan 2018 08:15:44
Emile heskey 🤔.

Ricky Otto

Lots of supposition regarding who Bruce will try to get in as striker.
Looking logically and economically the wee Scot is moving up the list of possibilities. He is here, we are paying him, he has scored a bucketful of goals.
Bruce can keep him to use if we get injuries or if we are strolling then stick him on for the last 10 mins.
Sturidge, Welbeck nor Deany heading our way.
Possible Gayle, Marriot or my old Mom.
Don't hold your breath. When I was annoying she never missed!



29 Jan 2018 17:41:57
Got a funny feeling welback could be the guy!



29 Jan 2018 17:55:30
My reasons for picking out welback is that Bruce got him on loan at Sunderland,
And you never know with the world cup end of year,
He is not getting many games under Wenger
Watch this space,



29 Jan 2018 17:58:55
Ñnnnnnooooooo-our physio is busy enough Mainbob, look at his stats, we'd be better off with a big target man like smith from qpr or john stead, but ideally we should get nakhi wells in, but haris duljevic has been mentioned in
dispatches alongside afobe.



29 Jan 2018 18:09:49
Agree about welback injury record,
Just saying manager's do like to go for the same players they signed at other clubs,
I'm not saying he is the one we need far from it,
Just thinking what Bruce might do,



29 Jan 2018 18:11:53
Afobe I would be happy with.



29 Jan 2018 18:22:51
Wellbeck wouldn’t happen in a million years, if you think he’s going to drop a division when the World Cup is at the end of the season you are mental.



30 Jan 2018 08:11:12
Don't agree Chris,
He is not getting game time and if no other premier club come in for him why not come to a club fighting to get to the premiership.



29 Jan 2018 17:20:03
Seems sturridge is going to the baggies?
He is injury prone but a better than 1 in 3 goal ratio,
Started at villa in youth set up so wonder if Bruce will highjack the deal,
Mind you he is on over 120 grand so doubt it.



29 Jan 2018 18:01:06
Couldn't do it Mainbob, it would be too embarrassing IF he scored, doing that dopey dance he does.



29 Jan 2018 18:06:35
All I hope is with sturridge going to the baggies that we don't go for troy deeney,
He was about to go to the baggies but now that will be off now,
Deeney always slags of villa perhaps because he is a blue nose by all accounts.



29 Jan 2018 18:10:57
That's a point classof82.



29 Jan 2018 18:42:56
Definitely from the dark side.
Has it tattooed on his leg.



29 Jan 2018 22:58:38
Send out for a priest and some holy water, aah do you know what, stuff him, let St. Peter bar him when he tries to waltz in!



29 Jan 2018 16:04:21
Ibrahimovic is now available why not put a cheeky loan offer to Man Utd see if they will pay half his wages.



29 Jan 2018 18:03:09
Stay off the roaches walkies, they'll frazzle your noggin fella!



29 Jan 2018 18:23:40
And I thought Mainbob had lost it suggesting Welbeck, you’ve just took the biscuit.



29 Jan 2018 15:02:46
Just flashed across social media-football region, seems we're in pole position for afobe, we'd prefer rent -to-buy, but guess what, just for added spice, if deeney goes to the tesco bag snatchers then watford have indicated that they would like to BUY AFOBE outright! aspirin please
matron, with a nice pint of stress to wash it down with!



29 Jan 2018 17:10:41
Word is Sturridge is off to the Tesco bags on loan, surely we could hijack that 1, or, if it happens, try for Jay Rodriguez, or, if Arsenal sign the Dortmund bloke and Giroud stays, try for Wellbeck on loan? Also, Sky is saying Tim Cahill on loan to Millwall, I'd have some of that? Agree, disagree, but at least throw some names in

29 Jan 2018 13:09:11
Thought we were friends WTW.
You were asking where I was when we lost to Forest.



29 Jan 2018 14:55:08
Oohh, is mummys' little soldier missing his buddy, buddy?
GET A LIFE!



29 Jan 2018 13:17:00
Benik Afobe anyone?
Highly rated by Wolves, he can also play in premier league when we go up.



29 Jan 2018 16:02:36
Like him powerfull and big reminds me of Benteke a bit this would be a masterstroke if this comes off but can't see it myself.



29 Jan 2018 10:49:48
Ulloa gone to Brighton. Do we need another striker, I'd be inclined to keep giving game time to the lads we have.
Anyone know when Kodja is due back?



29 Jan 2018 16:18:21
Kodjia's schedule for recovery has him apparently out for the season, but you never know, when needs must!



29 Jan 2018 09:04:49
Scratch that, had a mare, forgot we signed Tuanzebe😂🙈.



29 Jan 2018 09:01:54
Elphic set to join Reading on loan, but weird for me, if Terry or Chester gets injured again and Samba isn't available through injury again, are we going to go back to playing midfielders in defence? He was brilliant when he stepped in and unless we are getting rid to help bring in some serious quality then I really don't see the logic behind it, similar decision to selling Baker.



29 Jan 2018 11:38:14
Can not see the logic of loaning out elfick,
He has played really well last 2-3 games and has been unlucky.
Samba is clearly not up to it for me and this new player from utd is a risky bet,
He has great potential but he has no experience in championship
Let's hope he is a success anyway.



29 Jan 2018 15:52:04
Casualty of our high wage bill.
Someone has to go and a couple of others, ASAP.



29 Jan 2018 16:54:56
If it was high wages shame it's not Richards or gabby going?
