Great transfer window for us! 9 great signings, now let's all get behind the team and make sure we get back to the premier league!

31 Aug 2016 22:31:35
Confirmed Villa are done this window.
Well done Villa, Now let's go and kick some ass.

Dont know what to think about adomah boro fans say inconsistent but hope they are wrong.

31 Aug 2016 21:57:05
Richards was great for City, crap for us, previous club performances not really a clear guide.
I think we have done very well in this market, and I am feeling very positive about the rest of the season.

Why bother scouting at all then?

31 Aug 2016 20:49:10

Has the Richards deal gone flat?
Looks like he is still with us.
S. t!
So much for the good news.
Look out cat, you ain't safe!

Its a painfull thing to say but we need an experienced keeper as top priority NOW, at the moment we're what,10 points behind the leaders, or to put it another way,3 wins and a draw, come january we'll loose 3 attacking players for at least 6 games in reality-minimum, that means from a possible 18 points we're going to be lucky to get maybe 10 points, another 3 wins and a draw i reckon (optimistically), that's virtually another 3 wins down, so even if we win every game till january that's approximately an 18 point margin.

all things being equal, let's be generous and say we're only 12 points off the lead, that's giving the leaders a 4 game head start (possibly 6 games worst case), hence why we need to be brutal and drop gollini right now, and bring in an experienced keeper, he's our achilles heal, and unless we do this right now, we're playing catch-up, it'll be too much pressure, we got to act now, TODAY already!

You sound like a crazy person. We are only 5 games in and the transfer window hasn't even shut. Get a grip.

31 Aug 2016 20:36:21
Jesus wept. Could you not give Samaritans a ring rather than come on here with these overstated, hysterical disaster scenarios?

31 Aug 2016 23:43:02
Hysterical scenario?, wanting 2 extra defenders to have waiting in case of injuries or yellow card/ red card accumulations, your right, what was i thinking, imagine wanting to shore up our defence over a very, very long season, my mistake mendax!

31 Aug 2016 14:34:25
Looks like we have signed Adomah (good signing) but what to people think about bringing in someone like Odenwinge (free transfer)? Can play out wide and through the middle, creates and scores! Although attitude is the only problem!

31 Aug 2016 20:37:40
We have enough strikers
If we were going to get more it should either be, Goalie, Left back or centre mid.

31 Aug 2016 10:27:42
Micah Richards to West Ham, though not a good player, we are going to be really light on defenders.

31 Aug 2016 12:47:19
Did you see him against Luton?
I honestly think we would have been better off if he had been sent off after a minute in that game. If we had, people would have tried to cover for his absence. As it was, we were lured into believing we had a right-back on the field. (clearly, we didn't)
I would not hesitate to get rid, regardless of the squad position.

31 Aug 2016 12:53:06
i agree when he was at city i really liked him an was chuffed when he came i want to know what the hell happend to this guy.

31 Aug 2016 13:58:49
Mendax I agree ( that's twice! ) He was Okores worst nightmare.

31 Aug 2016 17:01:14
Twice?
More than most mate.

31 Aug 2016 08:02:09
It would be great to sign more people. But if not I'm very happy our chairman came out and said we had 30-50mil to spend and he's done that already
I seen people moaning that we brought no more defenders but that's rdm choice so he must be happy or we just miss out on targets
And people moaning about African nations it's long way to go plus ( don't quote me on it) but doesn't it start nearly same time as winter transfer window opens so we could buy in that window.

31 Aug 2016 16:08:25
Kaydee, we're going to lose at least 3 players, attacking players, the chances of us getting 3 quality replacements without paying well over the odds are very very slim, the chances of 3 good players choosing us over a premiership club in trouble are not very good, and also, if you were a player looking to better yourself, would you come to a club when you knew you were only a stop-gap for a maximum of 6 games? we're going to need some kinda salesman in our corner to schmooze them to choose us, but, you never know!

31 Aug 2016 01:32:52
1st of all i think dr. tony has to rethink the words world class striker. kodjia from bristol city is not what i think of when somebody says world class striker. Also wow how much have we paid robbed by bristol city twice in a week. now december early january has our clever chairmam thought of who exactly is going to play upfront 4 us? African nations rudy ayew kodjia all playing 4 there country where does that leave us with the busyiest period of the season?

31 Aug 2016 06:14:15
Use your brain, Kodija wasn't the first target. Hernandez bid was turned down and we don't know who else they were after when he said the statement. Secondly they were running out of options, who cares if he over paid for him, it's his money. Even if he was our 3rd or 4th choice on the transfer list he is a decent striker and we needed another striker, so stop moaning again. We have 2 of the of the top 4 scorerst from the championship last season FGS.

31 Aug 2016 06:37:54
I, m with you VillaSA.

31 Aug 2016 08:16:27
I heard/ read that personal terms was the reason hernandez hasn't signed but although a bit pricey am pleased with kodija couple more signings and it will be onwards n upwards, do think we will require cover upfront through the ACN as our strikers will be away Rhodes would be nice but guess we can all dream

VTID.

31 Aug 2016 09:33:53
and in january what are we gona do 4 strikers when they all go to africa? if we just brought gayle in the 1st place we wouldn't be paying over price 4 people who are not 1st choice.

31 Aug 2016 10:10:14
And he's back at it. Didn't take long.

31 Aug 2016 10:31:04
Good god, please could you forget about Gayle, he is gone, i can't hear it anymore. Benin have not qualified for the Africa cup of nations yet. So we may have Gestede. Kodija will be at the tournament and we are not even sure if Ayew is staying, McCormack will be here. Anyway who cares about January at this point we need to start winning now.
