Comments for Curtis Davies fee agreed and contract extensions this week? at http://www.avfcblog.com , comment 1 to 35 out of 20 comments http://www.avfcblog.com Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:38:47 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9301 its a disgrace if Cahill was being offered to WBA as a part exchange deal!!! I thought we were trying to add quality to the squad not replace it!! Imagine the cheek of the Baggies asking for 8 mill plus Cahill, what a f*cking joke!!! For all we know Cahill is as good if not better than Davies! We'v seen him play in the Premiership first hand and he definately has what it takes!! Now Im hoping its just lazy journalism because I think MON does rate Cahill! Id say go for Hangeland for 4 mill and bosingwa 12 mill, end of story - Rossa Fri, 24 Aug 2007 08:18:32 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9296 cannot agree with anybody that rates ridgewell. he was a liability. Cahill is getting there though - steve m Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:38:08 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9293 well I dont know about everyone else but if Cahill is being used as a makeweight for Davies as Teamtalk.com are saying I will be very upset..... If there gonna get him it should be just cash end of. I've stayed open minded about all our rumours this summer but if cahill goes I'll just give up Cahill is good enough for our team and shouldn't be let leave - jobiemcd Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:28:46 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9291 Whats the matter with ppl, you moan we need players and should do what ever it takes then you base your post on wether he's really worth that ammount or you'd rather have sm 1 else for that price?????.As for looking throughout europe for a player at half the price WTF you think our scouts be doing all year.Wasnt you saying in a previous post "if MON tells us he's class who are we to argue" then you base a post on exactly that point.(losing the wil to live) - I HATE BLUES Thu, 23 Aug 2007 18:36:34 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9288 we should just change our club name to England U21 squad. - claretand blue army1234321 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 18:08:02 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9275 Just sign him and be done with it! We'll all still support CD even if we think the fee is ridiculous because he will be a villa player and thats good enough for me! - merlin1 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:53:14 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9265 Looks like cahill was part of the deal, and its stalled because he wont move to the baggies. If thats true, why are we getting rid of our best young talent to our rivals? First ridgewell to small heath, now we're trying giving gary away to the tesco bags in return for someone who is not any better IMO! We need numbers, and should be hanging onto cahill, ridgewell AND buying Davies, especially in light of Mellbergs contract refusal. Why is it never simple with Villa? Any deal we do takes a living age to complete and when it is completed theres never any sense of joy, just relief that its finally laboured to a conclusion. So painful...... - alex Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:12:13 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9229 time is running out and were desperate for defenders and back ups, we need players thick and fast - richie p Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:32:40 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9223 the rumours are rife this morning.... looks like the current situation with martin jol is helping us no end with davies, also Defoe has been mentioned fresh this morning. as well as Boswigigigii..whatever and that 6.4 germo defender - Top_6_Villa Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:01:58 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9222 he's only moaning cus he wants a transfer to the premier league which Koumas and Kamara (your only other decent players) got, he spent a season in the championship trying to get u straight back up but now doesnt want to waste another season there, fair cop! and your chairman is trying to price him out of a move which would be silly when it doesn't look like he'll probably play again for u so u could have spent that on some decent championship players. - villa82 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:57:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9220 IT COULD BE 80 MILLION FOR ALL I CARE!!!! WE NEED PLAYERS!!! Let Randy worry about the coffers! - Woodinho Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:54:12 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9217 If MON doesn't raise his price's for players he wants he'll miss out and everybody will be moaning when were left with a weak squad so he cant really win, i think we need to pay these inflated prices for players we want if we are going to compete. MON see's him as a player to take us forward over the next few years so lets pay the extra couple of million and anybody that moans are probably still moaning about the 1/2 a million we never raised on Robbie Keane 6 or so years ago. Young potential is exspensive but if they reach there potential you cant lose. Heinze is 29 and temperamental! - villa82 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:14:05 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9216 Davies is rated at 8 million due to his potential, not his track record - and he's English. Some people have even tipped him as a future captain of the national team. I think that's a bit rash. He can certainly whinge for England! In fact, he's world class in that department. Good luck Villa, from another Baggie. - Cantello Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:58:28 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9215 Davies is definitely a good prospect and although he was part of a disappointing defensive unit last season, that wasn't his fault as we played 6 or 7 attacking players and as a result, there was rarely any midfield support when defending. Also, Davies didn't play alongside the greatest and most experienced CB's in the world and definitely never had a settled partnership. Having watched you guys against the Toon at the weekend, then if Curtis gets to play alongside Martin Laursen, he'll be learning from one of the best. Laursen's performance against the toon was one of the best I've seen any where in this country, since a certain Mr. Paul McGrath... and I don't say that lightly! Good luck Villa, which may surprise some of you coming from a Baggie, but over the past 10 years I have come to hate that arrogant bunch over in Small Heath far more... plus of course the Dingles! - Baggie Stu Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:32:52 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9214 ed you seem like a typical moaning villa fan.. comparing players is absurd!! like that lets set Duff's 5M move to newcastle as a bench mark for every transfer shall we??? - ADRIAN_1976 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:28:18 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9213 agree der hammer looked impressive last night, he also learned how to use his right foot a few times aswell lol! ;D we should try to re-sign him. - TON23 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:19:27 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9212 I think it's £8mn. simply because he's English. England produces the most overrated players in football today. I can see why Arsene goes for French U20s and makes them into World dominators. But Martin has always favoured the English leagues and made a lot of quality players out of them, so prove me wrong Martin, prove me wrong! - Dizzy Mugs Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:09:19 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9211 Speaking of hitzelsperger, he looked good last night. Cant believe DOL left him rotting on the bench and let me go for free. - alex Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:08:04 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9208 why doesnt MON save 4 mill by buying Hangeland instead of Davies, and then spend the 13.5 mill on bringing in Bosingwa!! Davies will moan and kick up a fuss if he doesnt start, I wouldnt say Hangeland would be like that. Plus Hangeland is already a full international with more experience than Davies!! Im not saying Davies is not good, becaue he obviously is a good player, but at 8 mill!! Id prefer take the gamble on Bosingwa instead, seeing as we dont have a right back!!!! - Rossa Thu, 23 Aug 2007 09:59:30 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1894/70/#comment-9206 agree that heinze is better but would he come to villa ahead of real? not many people would so we after go for players who would gladly come ie davies.have had wm all morning but nowt about davies - bwykes_771 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 09:54:10 +0100
