So apparently spurs are going to make an offer of Dawson and holtby+cash for vlaar!

I'm thinking this would be a good move for us! UTV

Too many rumours on here! seems like everybody is writing what they want and not what is actually true.
Does anyone really think the club is going to be sold? Heard about the 1st Aug on about 40 different occasions, and it's getting very boring now.
Why not just wait and see what really happens! Who do you honestly think wants to buy a club in this sort of turmoil? I have been a fan of AV for 27 years and never seen things so bad.
If anything does happen with the sale PL need to be the first to go, that's for sure! WORST AV manager I can remember by a long long way.
Sorry but no good for this club!
Thoughts welcome!

Very good move if it happens, let's get it rolling

Agree10 Disagree7

I'd take it, also levy would send a couple loans to, so interesting rumour definitely the best deal we could get if vlaar went

Agree11 Disagree9

Um mate you missed out Alex mccleash now there is the worst manager this club has had EVER!!! Lambert has done a damn good job with what he had at his disposal

Agree22 Disagree12

To the above post.
"Well it is a rumours site mate"
If we all waited to see what happens it would be pointless having a Rumours and Banter site.
All of this seculation make for good reading and at times it makes you laugh.
We have had worse managers than PL mate, look back a bit and see.

Lambo has not been that bad, a few bad buys but o'neil made worst buys and wasted a lot of money on crap signings and still getting them off the books, that's what put us in such bad shape

Agree13 Disagree7

You forgot Graham Turner and Billy McNeil! Worse managers than PL.

Agree13 Disagree10

Dr Joseph Venglos
I need say no more

Agree16 Disagree7

We could argue all night about whether he is "thee" worst but let's face it, he's up there

Agree8 Disagree12

I would say O'neil must be up there with the worst. Had £80mil to spend, a lot of money at the time and squandered it by selling off the cream of our youth policy and buying replacements no better than the kids at inflated prices and with inflated wages that drained Villa for years

Agree15 Disagree11

If you have supported villa for 27 years and think PL us the worst manager, you have a very very very short memory. Venglos, Gregory, O'Leary, McLeish etc etc. PL has done a decent job given the resources he has been given, and the comparative spending power of other teams (west brom gave spent £10m on one player for crying out loud). Also if anyone thinks Spurs are going to give us holtby, Dawson AND cash for Vlaar, who has only 12 months on his contract, you must living on another planet

Agree19 Disagree6

If Holtby an Dawson in a swap for Vlaar is true let's get this deal done quick!

There isn't much in Dawson an Vlaar's ability, both as good as each other, both can make mistakes, both can have dominating performances on their best days, but Holtby is quality!

We'd be robbing them blind, hope this rumour is true.

It was a mere tabloid rumour and it said or and not and. Honestly expect some pathetic offers to come in to force our hand and them maybe 5m leaving us with senderos, baker, Clarke and okore as centre backs, I for one am very worried about next season.

Agree11 Disagree5

I read it was spurs loaning us them not us having them permanent.

Agree2 Disagree5

If you care to look back, this season is the lowest points tally AV have had since 1970, and you some of you persons are sitting here typing things like Martin O'neill was a worse manager than PL. Get a Grip!
I understand you want to try and remain positive, as do I, but look at the reality. I appreciate it is a rumour site, but it takes an individual with a very boring life to sit and make thing up just for the sake of it. You will see who they are with the negative responses to this post. Show yourselves losers!

Agree7 Disagree15

Well when you post something please get it right, as the points we got this season matched what we got 2 seasons ago under AM, and you said since 1970 however in 1986/7 season we had 36 points from 42 games, um I'm pretty sure that's less from more games

Agree9 Disagree4

1970 was 2 points for a win so you can't really compare them

Agree12 Disagree1

I agree about PL rubbish manager, but some of the rumors make me laugh, and I love the site

Agree0 Disagree12

Pl was bought in to do a job for aston villa which he has done for 2 seasons on a budget! up to now he has spent 40 mil in this being his fifth window!
he has to manage a club with instructions and limits! not a easy task,
and one which I think no one else would do! I give props to lambert and I hope this season he alongside keane get us flying!


up the villa!!!

Agree14 Disagree4

It seems Lambert is looking to bring in two more players before the season begins.
One of them might be Ki -- no thanks one snub would be more than enough for me, thanks.
Clarrie.

Agree6 Disagree6

Id take that we need a number 10 like holtby, can't see it being true though

Apparently watchers of YouTube dallas tv saw Randy Lerner alongside Larry Ellison's representative at the game last night.

Further investigations have revealed that it's Randy Lerner first appearance at an villa game in 18months, the main reason is a sales exercise which would allow potential buyers to take a firsthand look at the squad whilst avoiding the European press hysteria.

Feedback so far. Club Structure -Brilliant, League Potential- Uncertain, Squad Potential - Average, Initial investment Required by new owner- £30 -40mill, Management - Replaceable {Klinsman}, Pre sale investment promised by RL- £15-20mill, Loan players spoken about =Deeny, Atsu, Campbell, Omar, Zaha

Its micky arison and his wife, I think things are happening and an announcement is coming. months back many people said 1st august, getting close

Agree8 Disagree7

I hate to be negative but that sounds like a made up fantasy, Klinsman would never manage Villa and the possible loans are players who have had minimal linkage in the past weeks

Agree7 Disagree11

I think clutching at straws people, as much as I'd like to be true they were probably just friends of randy's nothing else

Agree6 Disagree5

Arison is in Italy on vacation, sorry guys your way wide of the mark

Agree7 Disagree7

Business people, especially at Larry Ellison level, are never on holiday as we "ordinary" people view them. It would be right and proper his top representative would take his place at the match anyway, that's his job. What is interesting is Learner was there with him which, hopefully, means he still has some good will to Villa

Agree6 Disagree5

What is any of that based on? Complete rubbish. Btw, any multiple billionaire who buys a middle to low ranking PL side has no interest in the quality of the current playing staff. If the purchaser is even remotely serious they would all be gone within 12 months anyway

Agree7 Disagree4

There are pictures of a guy shaking hands with Lerner outside the stadium, an them pictures do look like Micky Arison, an anyone who has seen Arison will know he's got a distinctive appearance, certainly looks like him to me.

I did watch the Villa Dallas game but I don't remember the camera pointed at where Lerner was sitting during the game

>Scg87

Agree5 Disagree3

I have just seen the pictures of lerner at the dallas game and I personally am 95% sure that its micky arison in the pictures! fingers crossed. dannybronx

Agree5 Disagree3

Here's the link for the lerner and arison pics guys
