Aston Villa Rumours Archive September 01 2017 to October 01 2017

01 Oct 2017 13:49:48
Has Davis being turned by the stories of man utd/ everton/ arsenal looking at him?
Turning down his contract offer!
This will not be the first to get heads turned I fear,

01 Oct 2017 14:15:17
Plus his agent advising him to hold out as Villa will surely increase the offer. I hope it does not get drawn out as that's not good for anybody!

01 Oct 2017 18:59:11
Where are you reading his turned down a contract offer?

01 Oct 2017 19:25:44
I read it as well. He turned it down instantly bit villa coming back with no. I wonder if his agent is the same as Hepburn Murphy's. As that would explain allb.

02 Oct 2017 04:19:00
The jibba-jabba out there is saying his agent wants him playing top tier asap, and needless to say arsenal have been flashing a bit of ankle in his direction, i don't get it, if he chips off to a top premiership club he won't get any game time, so either his agent wants a bigger slice of the pie;or the boy has massive belief in his abilites, nothing wrong with self belief, or maybe he feels with the kodg. back, he might get less playing time, i just hope we sort him out a good deal, but arsenal have been sniifing around for a while now, come on villa, splash the cash will ya!

02 Oct 2017 04:34:15
Just been sharking around on forums and one or two are saying that everton are watching, but the club showing a big interest are the spuds, seems he ticks the boxes for being young, english, powerful, skilled, not afraid to have a go against whoever, and importantly, wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to buy at the moment, maybe the young lad we got on loan from the spuds has turned his head;a young team with a young, progressive manager, who knows, all i know is get him signed up asap!

02 Oct 2017 08:34:14
It's BS.

02 Oct 2017 09:30:02
I put these stories about Davis down to agents putting the feelers out for there own greed,
Never been a fan of agents in the game but we are stuck with them now,
The agent behind the pogba deal got by all accounts 24 million?
That is utterly madness,

02 Oct 2017 12:05:51
The same website also said that Ross McCormack was 100% signing for Sunderland.

02 Oct 2017 13:30:52
That story was almost right chris, in the end wee jimmy cranky wanted a loyalty bonus from us and sunderland wanted us to pay some of his wages, needless to say the handbrake went up on that deal!

02 Oct 2017 13:51:46
Just look at the other stories from the website, 0 credibility.

02 Oct 2017 16:10:31
I'm not saying every story is correct, far from it, the davis story does seem to have legs unfortunately, also the mccormack story did have substance, sunderland tried to extract the micheal and we told them, they pay all the wages or they could jog on, and the result speaks for itself, and the loyalty payment request, you couldn't make it up!

02 Oct 2017 17:20:57
I don't see how it can have legs if their the only place reporting it, the other random places all state them as their source. Normally if a story has substance there's 5 or 6 reporters on it, in the main papers. This is one man on a bullabod website, with the only correct articles on it coming after the thing their reported have taken place. They have articles days apart headlined, "villa set to miss out on England international defender" then after we signed him, "villa secure signing of John Terry". Come on.

02 Oct 2017 23:51:38
Chris-the keinan story has been in the red top national papers a few weeks back, and also the sunday red tops, i guess its fair to say the secret is out, we got ourselves a corker of a player, all we need to do now is give him no reason to think about looking elsewhere, and that's diwn to brucey's man management skills and steve round proving his worth negotiating with agent, time will tell.

03 Oct 2017 07:27:37
Papers don’t put articles up and they expire, if it’s been in the red tops it will still be there. I’ve looked it’s not. Find me a link and I’ll admit I’m wrong, however at the moment this is all BS and there’s nothing to discuss.

03 Oct 2017 17:50:25
Chris-i'm not trying to trump you fella, but you asked and i can say the story was in the currant bun on the 28 sept. , when i get a few moments i'll try and find the story in the others mate, but it doesn't really matter, i think the bottom line is we got ourselves a gem of a player, and unless we sort him out a good deal, some prem. clubs are going to try and pick our pocket pretty soon, so let's not dilly dally on this one i hope.

28 Sep 2017 11:32:45
I say keep the same side against Bolton as the last 2 games. We are finally getting some consistency because we are beginning to play as a team. We were delightful last game not just the win but the way we went about it. I know it was Burton but winning breeds confidence and i have a theory if we can be in the top 6 by January, teams who are say 13th downwards should be easy as they have nothing to play for, but the top 6 sides will all believe they can get promoted. there's isn't anything in this league that we should be scared of. let's go and win this league. UTV.

28 Sep 2017 13:52:42
Walkies, slap on the wrist there, that sort of talk breeds complacency and contempt for teams who may be below us;how many times have a team deemed inferior give the 'better' team a bloody nose, we need to take nothing for granted, and you saying teams 13th and below should be 'easy' sounds a bit arrogant, do you think newcastle last season had a sense of 'entitlement'?, i don't think so, i bet rafa kept them at it whoever they played, its good your being upbeat, but showing the opposition you don't rate them would be their team talk taken care of, just saying fella.

28 Sep 2017 15:11:50
Wtw you said teams that are 13th and below should be easy. That they have nothing to play for. don't think there are any easy games in this league.13th and below have everything to play for not least relegation.

28 Sep 2017 19:31:07
I know what you mean but take us last season we knew we couldn't go up and we wasnt going down so we had a few cames where I don't think we took it that serious Blackburn away being 1. The only thing Iam worried about is getting promoted against Millwall I don't think that will go down well with them. I do agree that we have to stay focused that's why I said a team that know there not going up or down against a team going for promotion we have more to play for and are more likely to turn them over a we will belive we can actually get promoted. UTV.

27 Sep 2017 17:59:26
What a fantastic performance we kept the ball well we was in charge of the game from start to finish fantastic can't praise the players and the manager enough. We are starting to turn the corner now let's hope we can keep this good form up. I will praise Bruce I think his now understanding the Villa way and I am chuffed things are looking better long way to go yet but I am seeing a huge improvement.

Bruce is getting the best out of Adoma and Davis which is helping the clubs promotion charge. The fans as usual brilliant we have a new Chester and Terry song as well real great song sang all game. Marc Albrighton at the game tonight with the fans as well god I miss him. 10 out of 10 delighted perfect performance!

28 Sep 2017 00:27:11
WTW, I said you could do it, there again I did say I wouldent hold my breath HaHa . Nice to see an optimistic post, Flackie might like this one . Keep the good work up . Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

22 Sep 2017 16:57:34
So Mr Bruce finally admits what I've been saying for ages he openly says he was trying not to lose games at Villa rather than trying to win but now we can play 4 4 2 because kodjia is back. So Mr Bruce what about your signings or you still heavily reliant on Roberto Di Matteo signings Jedinak and Jonathan kodjia as you put it not me.

Hogan we brought for millions of pounds been crying out to play in a 2 but he won't do it he will only use a 2 with Kodjia what's that saying about hogan? One win against a team who can't compete financially with hardly anybody and his a genius no no don't work like that.

I am glad he admits finally 4-4-2 is the way forward let's try and win a game. Yes the club was used to losing but we have whole new squad in last 2 seasons not many of his signings apart from Johnstone whos on loan has worked out yet. I still believe we can go up only because this leagues that bad.

22 Sep 2017 19:53:39
So for months you find fault with the guy, as in your opinion he has got it all wrong.
He then comes out and holds his hands up, and youbfind fault and another reason to criticise and find fault?

God it’s so painful and boring.

Your life must be so amazing being perfect in every way.

22 Sep 2017 23:07:48
The guys brought rubbish and tactically he is stupid could job Rdm brought him kodjia otherwise we would have to rely on his signing and we all know how good they are how many transfers as he actually got right? Why was he trying not to lose in the 1st place? Neil Warnock Mick McCarthy Steve Bruce all awful managers who can't cut it in the prem but some how they scrabble up in the play offs because this league that bad. Only thing borring is you flackie disagreeing with anybody with a opinion 1 win at Barnsley and you think his Jose Mourinho he should been trying to win from the off. His only gone 4 4 2 because his job depended on it.

23 Sep 2017 08:16:01
You are pathetic. And are everything that is wrong atvare club. It is because of the likes of you that we are in the mess we are.

23 Sep 2017 09:06:30
Flackie I read this an thought exactly the same as what you've replied here, I was so tempted to reply "I thought you was leaving". But that's what he wants, just ignore it, I'm 50/ 59 whether he's got split personality or just completely attention seeking. I just read it and laugh from now on, like a child throwing their toys out the peak kicking and screaming. just ignore it, let it carry on, don't give in because it will just keep doing it again and again.

23 Sep 2017 10:05:10
Just get behind the team,
That's all I want to do,
Sick of all this negativity.

23 Sep 2017 12:32:29
Thank you bob.

23 Sep 2017 12:52:18
2-0 win today.

23 Sep 2017 13:06:17
Another clean sheet, and any win for me!

23 Sep 2017 14:41:32
Well said flackie, chris. This guy will try and turn any banter or argument in his favour. What the hell do we need the bruce for, We got wtw to put everything right, bruce should have listened to him start of the season we would have a 100 per cent win rate.

23 Sep 2017 19:46:08
Lucky Brucie listened to you and played 4-4-2 tonight WTW

it certainly helped us win the game . ! You sir are surely related to Jekyl and Hyde . Either that or mental!

Would love to know where in the stadium you sit so I can come and introduce myself . And congratulate you for the best blogger on here who continues to spout 💩.

23 Sep 2017 20:26:36
I’d love to meet him,
I’d certainly love to congratulate him.

21 Sep 2017 10:26:02
Bjarnsson will turn out ok in the end I think he has energy he needs our support then I belive he will get better at the moment he looks nervous to be honest as fans we are to quick to slate players if they make a mistake his trying and to me that's the main thing. Like Hogan there's quality in there we just need to get behind our players and confidence will grow. UTV.

21 Sep 2017 14:59:36
Walkies, man alive, players you slate i'd say are not bad, and players who couldn't hit a barn door with a shotgun you defend! (hogan being the exception-i agree if we play to his strengths he'd not let us down), i must get meself down to specsavers, because i'm not seeming things right by the sounds of it!

22 Sep 2017 11:51:33
I think there's an offer on at the moment as well; buy 1 get 1 free.

22 Sep 2017 18:53:56
Cheers champ!

14 Sep 2017 19:22:26
Anybody heard Aston Villa have contacted St Etienne manager Oscar Garcia for the job? Tic tock Brucie.

14 Sep 2017 20:24:10
Apparently the rumour has some substance. Talk is that if villa fail to win on Saturday then Bruce will be out.

14 Sep 2017 20:29:51
Iam going to Barnsley mate let's hope we win and they sack him anyway if not I would take a loss to be rid of Blue nose Bruce.

14 Sep 2017 21:32:31
You would take a loss to get the manager sacked - says it all about you really don't it WTW.

14 Sep 2017 22:10:46
Blimey walkies, you ever thought of working for the samaritans;i think that caring, understanding and helpful nature of yours would shine mate!

14 Sep 2017 23:09:39
Classof82 We are that bad to watch even the great peter withe an shawn teale said bruce should go last home game so are they wrong aswel? Long term I don't want Bruce anywhere near our great club we are already miles behind we can't afford to keep this guy even if he flukes a win because it will just prolong him staying and come on classof82 you can't be happy with what your watching its so borring and negative we have the best players in the league let's blow the league away play 2 upfront and have ago under bruce all you will get is let's try not to lose. Are you happy with what your watching? Sometimes you got to be crawl to be kind. BRUCE OUT!

15 Sep 2017 06:28:43
Right then walkies, any manager worth his salt knows at least a third of games you play in a season will be drosh;either because of injuries, teams using the same tactics and cancelling each other out, bad luck, or even f all luck, so unless your barcelona, madrid, united or citeh your going to put up with it, and just because you play attractive football it doesn't follow you'll win, brentford played us off the park and got a draw, in essence, if teams know each match we're going to go for it, surprise surprise they'll sit back and hit us on the break, set us up so that we're hard to break down, get the team to grind out results as a default position, so its second nature, you get a draw, boring yes, but then teams start thinking twice about playing us, then you can start building on that and start expressing yourself, but you know in your mind that if we get an injury, a sending off or are out-smarted you can just default to grinding a result out, very boring BUT very practical, i'm giving brucey the benefit here, ask yourself this, if you played Barcelona or real, would you set your stall out and play openly to get more than likely battered, or would you try to grind a result out, remember arsenal under george graham, boring boring but they won cups, and the league, later on, they started to play more openly, but playing boring and ugly was not a problem either, i'm probably wrong about this but for the sake of the club why not give him the four games and then let rip if nothing changes, yeah its a risk i suppose, but if we bring another manager in now how long will it take for him to get across his philosophy, i know you've got the camels' but either way there'd be more dramas with changing coaching personnel etc, like Villadaz says, his record isn't too shoddy!, he's still got the dressing room behind him and with a long hard season ahead, the experienced players should come into their own, come on walkies, BELIEVE IN
STEVE!

15 Sep 2017 08:54:40
Classof82, I'm beginning to love you I agree with you fella on all counts great post.

15 Sep 2017 14:23:08
Wow! '82 great post!

15 Sep 2017 15:57:30
Cheers for that boys, i've obviously fluked a bit of common sense between my ears for once in my life, i'm in shock now!, i'm off to lie down in a darkened room and chant some mumbo jumbo to get back to my usual sketchy self! keep the faith chaps, its going to be a roller coaster of a season ahead!
we are the twelth man!
UTV!

21 Sep 2017 00:56:44
My main problem with Bruce is that he's ruluctant to put two up front. We have quality strikers, don't really understand his reticence. With some of our losses and draws, it goes down to the players. Take the Brentford game. Brentford simply ran around more, worked harder.

We've also got players missing pretty easy chances. Bruce might not have been my first choice, but you can't blame him for a players shot being blocked on the line by his own centre forward. Bruce is mixing experience with youth. He's bought a good defence for both I give him some credit.

13 Sep 2017 15:31:13
It would appear that certain board members are split, doesn't look good.

14 Sep 2017 10:05:08
Whys that then?

14 Sep 2017 16:39:46
I think they've started sniffing around other managers, testing the water.

14 Sep 2017 16:53:51
What makes you think that?

14 Sep 2017 22:05:22
Reports from bloggers saying we're keeping a watching brief on garcia of st. ettiene.

13 Sep 2017 00:51:56
Not one person can slate Bruce tonight; right tactics, right team, right substitutions how we never won tonight is beyond me what a absolute twit Lansbury is if we had kept 11 men I am in no illusion that we would have won we are not far off play offs point wise with King Kodja back now WE WILL CLIMB THE TABLE #INBRUCEITRUST.

13 Sep 2017 15:28:54
Absolutely bang on the money villadaz. everything in that post is spot on and sums it up perfectly. pity bout lansbury i feel we would have got something out that game. we certainly deserved to. k.

13 Sep 2017 17:10:23
Counld have, should have, would have. All i can say is i hope the door doesnot hurt Bruce on the way out.

12 Sep 2017 01:28:14
Remember a while back we tried hard to get the then st. ettiene manager but he declined citing he would honour his contract and we ended up with that 'jack -in-the-box' remi garde, well monsieur christophe galtier stepped down during the summer and is available, i believe steve round was impressed with his record, style and ability to get the best out of what was available.

if the board push the panic button again i wouldn't be surprised if our garlic munching friend is on the short list, in fact, maybe our 'voice' on the committee -a.k.a. - WTW could ask a cheeky question to his old mate mr. wyness, and report back to the riff-raff (thats me obviously!) if he twitches at all? what do ya say walkies?

12 Sep 2017 07:31:33
Your joking ent you he's going to be too busy telling Wyness how he's worked it all out and it's all his fault.

12 Sep 2017 08:35:32
Lol-what was i thinking, i'm being a schmuk again aren't i! apologies for that Chris, i clearly haven't got my head in the game! i can see wyness scarpering for the exit double quick fashion with wtw on him like a pitbull! -i'd pay to see that-go on wtw, let him have both barrels fella!

12 Sep 2017 09:07:32
There will be a few of us we ask him questions between us and await hopfully honest answers there's a few things of the agenda tonight minutes will be taken I wish I could go and give him both barrels but we can't we can give hard hitting questions but that's it. In fairness he seems a nice guy but sometimes not just me but few others get the feeling his telling us what we want to here. Things on the agenda Team performance season card failure to go out on time. Loyalty card and Tony Xia some are worried about the china goverment rumours.

03 Sep 2017 21:50:08
I've been told by a very good friend in China that he has herd through a business contact of tony xia that he is looking to offload villa due to new Chinese state rules and a lot of his money was coming from state backing which will now dry up. worrying news for me.

03 Sep 2017 21:55:31
I think you've read the new laws, clearly misunderstood them and made this up. The new laws do not in any way effect Tony Xia's ownership of the Villa.

04 Sep 2017 11:20:33
I agree Chris Dr. Tony is the best chairman this club as had apart from Sir Doug Eliis and these rumours going around have nothing to do with us. I do belive they will stop paying 400k a week in china to over the hill players. We should ask him on twitter he never lies.

04 Sep 2017 13:12:04
alot has asked him on there and he has a avoided answering the question and like you just said he normally talks. I've not read and misunderstood anything the new rules will affect us and any sport related franchise.

04 Sep 2017 16:17:26
They will not however affect doctor Tonys ownership of Aston Villa, as I said. You've just assumed that and claimed you have been told it.

04 Sep 2017 21:39:37
ok mate you are right. !

04 Sep 2017 21:40:51
can i just add I don't want this to be true. tony has been a great owner so far and I like the guy alot. facts will come out though!

04 Sep 2017 22:51:11
Either your a liar, or your mate in China is a liar or whoever told him is a liar - take your pick. Just seems highly coincidental that these new laws come out, and all of a sudden you've been told Dr. Tony wants to sell. Seems to me like someone somewhere along the line has read the bold print of these laws, put 2+2 together and come out with 65, and your calling this "facts". The other day you told us we were selling 3 on deadline day and bringing 1 in, you told us last year David Selke was at Bodymoore Heath, your track record is appalling and can't even be described as guess work, it's like the football imagination of a 12 year old.

05 Sep 2017 02:12:24
lol I hope you are right I really do.

05 Sep 2017 16:40:40
If it comes from the King its always incorrect or made up so relax everybody :-)
