YES YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SEE US SPLASH OUT ON BIG NAMES, BUT LOOK AT MANCHESTER UNITED AND CHELSEA AND LIVERPOOL BUYING VERON, KEZMAN AND DJIBRIL CISSE PLAYERS WHO WERE WELL KNOWN BUT COULDN’T HANDLE THE PREMIER LEAGUE. ALSO NOT TO MENTION BAROS. I MEAN WITH THE ENTIRE DEBACLE OVER THE NATIONAL TEAM AND ENGLISH PLAYERS CAN’T YOU SEE THAT MO’N IS ACTUALLY HELPING OUR NATIONAL SIDE AND ALL SO USING HIS BRAINS. WHY TAKE THE RISK WITH A BIG MONEY FOREIGN PLAYER WHEN YOU CAN PURCHASE AN ENGLISH PLAYER WHO ALL READY KNOWS THE GAME. DON’T YOU REMEMBER MO’N IS THE MAN THAT WE ALL WERE GLAD TO SEE WHEN DOUG ENLISTED HIM TO GET US OUT OF THE SHIT THAT DAVID O’LEARY HAD LEFT US IN. I THINK MO’N ASSESSES THE SIDE AND THEN THINK WERE CAN WE ADD A BIT OF PANACHE, TEMPO AND SKILL. MY SNOUT TELLS ME THAT MO’N WAS LOOKING AT PLAYERS FROM THE AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS. HE HAS SEEN A VERY EXCELLENT ATTACKING RIGHT BACK AND SOME OTHER PLAYERS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD ABOUT BUT ARE DYNANMITE ON THE PITCH. NOT TRYING TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY. WATCH FOR THE SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW, THERE WILL BE SIGNINGS AND THERE WILL BE DEPARTURE. REMEMBER CLARET AND BLUE BROTHERS AND SISTERS KEEP THE FAITH - THE PHANTOM Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:19:40 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16213 Kids, kids, kids - calm down. Take a look at the league table. Moan when you have something to moan about - not before. - davida Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:19:38 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16203 oh well inter two bob cup for us again then bright future is looking a bit dim oh well don't know why i got excited i should have known that being a villa fan always end in disappointment. not too bothered about defoe as he's a d**k head prima donna. but would have liked a right back though as mellberg will still play there but might not go in quite as hard so as not to ruin his chances at juventus. - ozavfc21 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 07:56:08 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16202 if MON mentions the words small squad and strength in depth again this season,,he needs his teeth kicked in....europe..building a dynasty..five year plan,,,world class players...what a joke.....we all sat and waited in the summer..didnt happen...so we built our hopes up again for jan didnt happen...and now we sit in fifth place in the prem,,really could make a push for europe and it still didnt happen...the words taking the piss should be on every ones lips today...you watch pompey...everton,,man city and liverpool push on now and villa----well we only have a small squad so we are really punching above our weight...crap...but im sure the MON loving muppets will still believe in the winging bullshit........god and i thought it was bad with ellis..come back doug,,im sure the bright lights of europe would have made you insist on getting some extra players in,,cause you never know we mite get injuries and suspensions ..but as the guys say in mon we trust...the only thing id trust him with is my money..that would be safe as houses... - somersetvilla Fri, 01 Feb 2008 07:49:21 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16126 Any idea why? Was it the player not wanting to join us, or the fee/personal terms? Ive had it with MON in the transfer market. Hes a complete coward, is too over cautious and seems to enjoy selling off our family silver when numbers are low anyway. If he complains about a small squad again this season itll be very hard to swallow. One in one out, with a 3.75m profit. How small time does our club look? - alexb Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:03:02 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16104 Damm, at least we tried. What a choker. - Badger Thu, 31 Jan 2008 19:06:21 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16100 it was Nélson from benfica according to the man .. - Damian Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:50:28 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16098 Looks like we're going to lose out on Defoe and the only other juicy rumour has gone tits up. I'm gutted now. Still can't believe it's going to be one in, one out though. - Badger Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:48:32 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16097 So you can tell us who it was then? - Badger Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:43:58 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16095 Just had a message it reads like this: Confirmed. No deal - Damian Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:37:28 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16090 PJ,I think you'll find MON did say we were indeed in for Diarra but his financial terms 'didn't sit comfortably with me'! These were MON'S words! This was reported in one of the local papers! - naldy Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:13:29 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16072 Talksport reporting that Tottenham and Portsmouth have agreed a transfer fee for Defoe. Lets just hope that MON is planning to step in and take him from under Harrys' nose. - NickC Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:02:13 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16067 Carson, Davies, Gabby, Barry, Young, all announced for the England squad !!!!!! Up the Villa :) - beano123 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:48:49 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16064 Looks like we're missing out on Defoe. - Chrisodon Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:36:46 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16060 You just never know. It could be RONALDO Whoooooop! - Chrisodon Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:27:25 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16057 could it be a cheeky bid for quaresma - avfc-anthony Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:17:13 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16056 4 Villa players in the England Team, ;D - tosh Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:10:20 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16054 Do we not meet your requirements as fans anymore Tommy T? - Dizzy Mugs Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:48:36 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16051 brad guzan not coming to villa - work permit turned down. - caleb Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:35:38 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2201/70/#comment-16050 I'll come clean. It was me, I informed Damian that we're re-signing Aaron Hughes, the whole Portugal link was because he's currently there dusting up his golfing skills, as boss Roy Hodgson has informed him that his recent presence on the green hasn't been up to scratch. The fee will be around £30 million. Signing a 3 and a half week contract. And he can't play against his former team, Fulham. - xandeh Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:32:53 +0100
