Aston Villa Rumours Archive November 01 2017 to December 01 2017

30 Nov 2017 17:12:40
I must say I never liked Bruce at 1st but I have really warmed to him now. The Injurys have hit us hard but he hasn't moaned we havent got much money but again he hasn't moaned and he is still getting results yes its a poor league but his doing a great job.

On to the game I think everybody would take a draw now its going to be tough i expect us to get beat if I am honest but I fully expect us to bounce back against millwall. Bruce said we are looking at loans in January what happened to the Amavi money? I think we will still go up but Iam thinking more playoffs than 2 due to injurys.

Blow me down with a feather nice to see WTW all aboard the party bus enjoy the ride.

01 Dec 2017 00:05:23
Daz, Walkies is a changed person . After all the. Times, he's been hit over the head on here, it's started to sink in HaHa A bit like when you get a new puppy . Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

01 Dec 2017 06:22:39
Now that walkies is 'educated', this means all that's left is for reports of lord lucan being seen riding shergar on the moon! and if i see four figures on horseback in the distance, me and my shirley crabtree physique are out of here!

01 Dec 2017 13:20:34
Havnt always seen eye to eye walkies but that was a worthy post mate. This game tonight is a tough one and with our injuries it could be tough over our next few games.

03 Dec 2017 14:51:01
So dear walkies has now been indoctrinated into the hall of "agree with me" or be hammered.
I thought that this was an even handed site that accepted freedom of speech.

26 Nov 2017 20:50:29
What a fantastic performance against a tough Ipswich side. My dreams of an automatic promotion are back on, but we have a real test against Leeds United hopefully we can get at least a point out th game. Albert adomah was fantastic again but Glenn Whelan and Davis was super aswel really playing well but we must keep it up hard work starts over xmas there's a lot of points to be won we need to use the squad more. UTV.

27 Nov 2017 00:17:02
Walkies for the first time ever, I agree with everything you have said . Albert is one on his own, Weelen had his best game for us and for his age Davis is outstanding . The way he holds that line on his own, is mature beyond his years . Start adding a few goals, for the compleat package . Leeds won't be looking forwards to playing us, as the home team the pressure will be on them . With the confidence we have gained over the last few games, We should give them a good game and come away with something . But we need to be up for it and at our best . So roll on Friday Onwards& Upwards Villaforever.

Next we will be going for a pint before the game lol.

22 Nov 2017 07:47:16
1st of all we were poor last night we looked tired and jaded and sloppy at times. we actually won the game in 1st gear. Delighted with the win though. signs of a good side when you win playing poor. If your not going to play lansbury or bjarnsson, list them so we have money for other players because we need help.

Kodjia is out for months, he needs another op. Bruce said Hogans out for months as well so leaves us with nothing upfront. Davis is a young lad trying, but hasn't got that killer goal threat yet. i think he will, but we are a side in desperate need for help, it could stop us going up.

22 Nov 2017 09:26:36
The only excitement with Kodjia/ Hogan being out is the soap opera on here about who we should get in to replace them, early marker for me, Dwight Gayle, worth a punt, bring on the Meldrewing 👴🏻

UTV.

22 Nov 2017 12:47:33
At least we don’t have to listen to people saying Real Madrid and Bayern want Kodjia all January. I think we should go for Ulloa from Leicester, isn’t getting in the team so let’s see if we can get him on loan for six months, promise of first team football. Similar situation with Charlie Austin unless he’s injured? Danny Ings seems to be fit again, plenty of options out there. If we’ve got a bit of money and not looking at loans then let’s look at Hugil, Bobby Reid, Jarrod Bowen - all lads who are scoring consistently in this league at the minute.

22 Nov 2017 14:08:18
Have to agree chris, a good shout.

22 Nov 2017 14:50:49
Cheers.

22 Nov 2017 16:23:07
Any or 2 of your 1st 3 Chris 👍🏻

UTV.

22 Nov 2017 16:55:57
Ally-when you said dwight gayle is worth a punt, i'm guessing you misspelled punt, as for who to bring in, hugill defo-he reads the game really well, reminds me of teddy sheringham, and i'd try and nab ollie watkins from brentford, he's class, young, technically very good, and most important for me, modest and down to earth, the result will be brucie going for musa from leicester!

22 Nov 2017 17:25:05
Musa would be an incredible signing - I think we have zero chance of signing him however - I like the suggestion of Bowen and Hugill although I fear we may be priced out of both moves.

22 Nov 2017 18:58:20
From what's been said about finances, it's probably going to be loans, the 2 lads in the Championship would definitely have to be buys, don't think we've got the dosh to buy outright, get rid of some deadwood and we might? and while we're on it 82, does your name have a silent C&L.? 😘

UTV.

22 Nov 2017 19:36:27
I live in Leicester, and the talk here is he is coming in jan, loan to end of season, I’m not sure he is what we need.

22 Nov 2017 20:01:47
Ally-you know it! lol.

22 Nov 2017 20:03:53
Heard that too Flackie, only downside is someone told me he'd prefer to stay in the prem, but as always, time will tell.

22 Nov 2017 20:34:02
A loan would put Ulloa in the shop window for a move that he wants, he's at that age where he's got 1 more biggish contract to sign before he retires, would like to think he'd play out of his skin for a few months to get that contract in the future, not saying long term for us, but could be useful till the end of the season?

UTV.

22 Nov 2017 22:45:57
I think there talking about Musa Ally, thing is if Hogan can’t perform in our team, while Musa has more quality their very similar players so would he be worth it? I’d rather ulloa. We need someone to lead the line when Davis is injured or knackered so we don’t see wingers playing striker like the last 20 yesterday.

23 Nov 2017 07:53:02
I think I can see a time in December when we have to play 3 games in 6 days where we may well start with Samba and Jedinak up front. It’s a worry for sure. I’m fairly certain that if McCormak was still at the club he would be starting for most of next month. Shame!

23 Nov 2017 09:16:04
McCormack would be starting for most of next month if he was here? That’s sounds similar to 2 + 2 is 6352.

23 Nov 2017 18:47:59
We are never that bad to play that useless Pratt. Even creating trouble in Australia now.

23 Nov 2017 21:57:27
I would actually go for Peter Crouch Johnstone and get another cbk and lbk if the money stretches that far. We need more options. Also has anybody notice we play counter attack every game it works aswell. Playoffs here we come its gona be a nervy ride. Hopfully by the time the playoffs start Kodjia will be back.

23 Nov 2017 22:01:13
yea great shouts chris.

24 Nov 2017 10:52:39
We will see Chris, once December comes, and through a tough Christmas. If we have no other options, I’d have started McCormack even if his sole motivation was to prove people wrong and to try and place himself in the shop window. Then sell in January and re invest the cash.

20 Nov 2017 08:35:59
David Beckham wants Steve Bruce to manage his Miami football team - Newspaper Rumour.

19 Nov 2017 10:41:48
Back from a great day in London, what a result with all them injurys the fight was there not a bad player on the pitch today as usual fans were great. getting out of QPR a joke tho 1 exit surely a fire hazard? Flackie Where does your boy play because we are a bit short upfront. Glad you had a good day Flackie and its double celebrations for you when we won again. 2 important games next we need to keep players fresh tho. Dare we dream of promotion?

19 Nov 2017 19:27:48
He is a goal keeper mate!

I sadly wish he was a striker!

20 Nov 2017 08:32:44
Flackie have you ever gone upfront? just asking because I believe you will be better than Gabby. Hope your boy makes it mate its all about enjoying the game at that age. UTV.

15 nov 2017 20:45:16
davis signs 3 year deal yeah top lad. utv.

13 Nov 2017 17:15:37
Seems diame wants to be reunited with brucey, and newcastle want a centre forward in january, what odds would you get for kodjia or davis going the other way with money involved, and more to the point, i hope we're not mad enough to go for it, but definitely let them have mcshortfarce and the vertigo kid-gabby, now that would be a touch!

13 Nov 2017 23:01:41
newspapers putting two an two together mate not going to happen Villa are broke due to FFP so if we got rid of our best players gona need a lot of cash to spend to get better we have a big squad we only need a lbk other than that this is bruces team. can't see much happening january. UTV.

14 Nov 2017 08:49:34
WTW the other day you said we had money to spend because of amavi, what changed?

14 Nov 2017 11:12:30
I know I did mate but day after Steve Bruce did a interview saying that due to FFP not a lot has changed and we are right on the line of it so basically led me to belive even with Amavi cash there's not much there at all.

09 Nov 2017 18:09:17
Welcome back to Aston Villa again Aaron tshibola who had his loan cancelled at MK Dons. 5 million we spent on him another example of wasted money woods bannan both better players than what we got but this is what it is kills me to see good players available but we can't buy them because we wasted all our parachute money and now we are left with this joker.

07 Nov 2017 23:43:45
Right ladies and gentlemen I am looking towards the future without John Terry. Steve Bruce said today that he is about time Tommy elphick and Micah Richards started earning their money so would you give them a chance in the lineup? I just want to touch on Micah Richards for a second he still youngish at Manchester City it was a good Defender so what has happened to this guy?

I remember we was all quite excited when he signed for us he is on £50,000 a week that's 600 grand a year and his hardly played or given the club anything back for his wages so should we make him play he is here for another 2 years yet so love to hear your thoughts because in both these players there's a good defender in there for just some reason they are ripping the club off and not trying.

08 Nov 2017 05:49:45
Personally i'd rather put a cardboard cut-out of john terry in defence than micah richards, and it'd still play better, though micah would still win top prize as the most wooden defender on our team, just pipping elphick, to be fair though, elphick i think has caught that nasty condition known as richard dunne-itis, where you try hard, but more often than not it goes pear shaped, maybe, just maybe, with terry coaching him, he could rise like a pheonix to become a cult hero! -failing that, get that young lad in from united that brucey has been scouting from last summer.

08 Nov 2017 07:05:39
1 - Your maths is awful, 50 grand times 52 weeks in a year is 2.6 mil a year.
2 - I doubt very highly he’s still on 50000 a week, it was noted when we came down every player signed in that window the summer before had relegation clauses, the only clever thing Tom fox and co did.
3 - He was decent at city because he was playing right back and he didn’t weigh as much, now his about 15/ 6 stone running around like a mad man and it causes injuries.
4 - it’s kind of funny actually because when you watch how terry got injured Saturday, that’s exactly what he did, chased the ball like a headless chicken, some thing he doesn’t normally do, lost balance and was going to fast, tried to slow down to quick and it went.
5 - I don’t actually think Richards has a bad attitude, see the Wycombe game and when he scored against Watford, however he was thrown into that category with Gabby, Lescott etc because he just wasn’t very good. However because of that, being put in the same bracket for being awful it seems like it may have swayed his attitude, and now he’s thinking stuff yous then, I’ll just collect the money like the rest of them.
I hope he does prove us wrong but the injury problems, everything that’s all ready gone on, it’s all stacked against him. Elphic played with Chester a load of times last year, he only got took out because of injuries, I’d be much more confident seeing him in there. Samba I’m not so sure off, look at the way he got megged for their second Saturday, selling baker really doesn’t seem like a good idea, no matter how much they paid.

08 Nov 2017 09:48:48
1st of all cheers Chris your right my maths is terrible but according to top researchers at football manager his on 50k apparently there not very often wrong lol. And I wasn't saying Micah is the answer just that his here for another two years we might as well use him because as you have corrected me his on a shed load of cash.

Steve Bruce said it would be nice to see him earn that money. And as for attitude Chris well he has put weight on as you say so his hardly kept himself fit an been banging on Bruces door saying I want to play. In fact his been happy not playing as his not asked to leave because his on such huge wages nobody would touch him anyway.

08 Nov 2017 13:28:20
That was my point, originally I don’t think his attitude was the problem, more his ability. Now he’s been slated for this an that it seems he does have an attitude.

09 Nov 2017 07:00:40
agree chris but his here for 2 years what do you suggest we do with him?

12 Nov 2017 11:51:52
Neither Elphick or Richards deserve to be anywhere near the 1st team

IMO I would draft Jedinak into the back four or put Hutton in the middle and recall Taylor

Samba is a bit part player whose legs have gone and is there as a back up .

Just goes to show how poor richards and elphick are is samba is on the bench ahead of them.

12 Nov 2017 17:55:53
SOMEONE with sense.

03 Nov 2017 14:46:34
Jorges Mendes is sending for re-inforcements in January. Only on loan though due to ffp rules.

03 Nov 2017 18:39:19
Who cares we are Aston Villa.

03 Nov 2017 22:04:06
You’ll need them when Hutton snaps Jota in the home leg, and big Keinan Davis runs all over that Bath.

03 Nov 2017 23:03:50
Top of the league-good on ya for doing well so far, and if you crack on and get promoted then i'd be happy for you, the bottom line is will top players from around the world want to come to wolverhampton to live la vida loca and sign permenantly;or will it be the mercenaries sticking their snouts in the trough, time will tell, but for now;enjoy the limelight, and just make sure your manager doesn't get pinched (dare i say it) by a bigger club, i heard bury are on the lookout! seriously though, fair play to you all, its just a shame dave edwards isn't there to reap the reward as well.

04 Nov 2017 22:57:37
If Mendes is 'sending for reinforcements' I hope for your sake none of the players he's after have seen The Hills Have Eyes?

UTV.

01 Nov 2017 22:33:02
Great solid performance tonight . Terry showed, just how class he is, his reading of the game was brilliant . The whole defence looked realy on it . Hutton showed how he kept Teylor on the bench, good game again. Davis plays like seasoned pro, his hold up play is fantastic I know he scored a goal tonight, but I'm still not convinced by Snodgrass . Overall a good team performance, so let's keep it going. Roll on Saturday. Onwards&Upwards Villaforever
PS Villa 10
Brucie is playing people in form, that's why Hutton kept his place.

02 Nov 2017 06:57:15
I think if we moved Snodgrass into the middle in a number 10, where Onomah is playing, we’d see why he’s got the record he has.

02 Nov 2017 08:05:53
Bang on dave Dean mate.

02 Nov 2017 20:13:08
Grealish has to play in that roll.

02 Nov 2017 23:00:56
Grealish is Number 10 for me, Snodgrass just makes the bench, sometimes I think chrisAVFC just likes to disagree.

03 Nov 2017 06:55:38
I replied before any comment about grealish saying I want to see Snodgrass in the number 10, then people started commenting about grealish in that position, I haven’t commented since. Give your head a wobble villajk.

03 Nov 2017 09:53:57
To me Grealish is good on the ball but lacks an end product and work rate. Snoddy works his socks off and his delivery into the box gives the forwards a chance - how many times have we seen Jack the lad run into blind alleys? too many, that means the pace of the game slows down and we lose possession. Grealish would also be behind Green for me.

03 Nov 2017 11:38:33
Average Jack waste of a shirt for me.

03 Nov 2017 12:39:15
Don’t disagree boys, you’ll get in trouble.

04 Nov 2017 13:39:43
I do prefer Snodgrass over grealish in the no. 10 role. But that being said, we are now playing as a core cohesive unit and it would be interesting to see Grealish play in a team that is getting it together. He hasn't had the opportunity to play in a descent team over the last 2 years.
