Comrade 86 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Blimey! £15M!!! Can we expect £20M for Chris Martin then? Mini-conspiracy theory to while away the morning. Suppose these players are not being lifted from under our nose. Suppose we are in fact pushing up prices by feigning interest in a bunch of players we really have no intention of buying? Suppose a few most awesome names were suddenly revealed tonight, mere hours before the deeadline. Anyway, back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to sky sports villa have launched a 20m bid for Hernandez from Hull, surely they aren't buying both ? I could understand it if it was New assle.

Anag Ram Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We don't seem to be a club that attracts players over our opponents any more. This could be down to managers' stubbornness (we haven't always endeared ourselves with our aggressive buying) or maybe even that we have a reputation as a soft touch with poor morale.

Has he put his patio furniture up for sale yet? I think not. Well there's certainly a few rumours about, but nothing as certain as Hendrick I agree. My dads down in London, I'll tell him to go to b&q and keep an eye out for him, we'll know once and for all then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends in what aspect you are looking at the hours from, from an hourly basis over 24 hours is not really mere hours, but if expand it to the month then 24+ isn't mere but if you are looking at it from a since time began than 24+ hours is mere hours away.

It's just because Newcastle and Villa are big teams in the Championship. With the squads they had and the players they've brought in you'd expect them to be promoted. Most of the players they've brought, especially the Newcastle ones will be sold or loaned out again next season to championship teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsall_Ram Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Was thinking about the price hiking this morning. McCormack to Fulham and then to Villa.. We was "interested" in him both times. and then this Kodjia for 15 million. Cant seem to think of any others off thetop of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We should begin scouting in Europe and South America hard now. Not casually as we do now. We should have a list of players ready for the next transfer window and from then on. This UK market is stupid now and if we don't in the future look to overseas markets then we can firmly say that we have a few incompetent figures at the club that must leave.

Sparkle Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 He has had one season in the championship having arrived from the French second division now he may prove to be terrific but he is a huge gamble and at £15 million extremely over priced. People talk about our exposure to FFP but Aston villa must be sailing mighty fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 As good as he might be £15 million is properly mental for Kodjia. Would rather see us address other areas of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashram Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 No point in moaning about fees. Where do you think the money comes from? I assume most on here pay subscriptions for Sky or BT or both. It's us... the paying public, that are driving up the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I wasn't moaning. I just don't think we need to buy any more strikers, we need to focus on actually giving them something to work with. They have been feeding on scraps this season at best and it shows in our goals scored tally. It's not like Bent and Martin can't hit the net if you give them the right service.

lushrams Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I genuinely doubt we ever officially had any interest in this chap. Club has kept their identified targets very much in house as shown with the Vydra signing. (came out the blue and signed very quickly after) Still firmly believe they'll be a couple more in-comings and names that haven't even been mentioned yet.
