Great strategy to not have a proper striker on the bench

Nuno apparently turned them down to go to Fenerbahce and i saw rumors that Potter turned them down as well.

Media lauding Klinsmann now, which would be hilarious

He is a Villa fan and your owners are wealthy and probably arent desperate for money but i do wonder if he is a bit fed up of carrying Villa yet? Despite the fact you have spent the best part of £250million since promotion you managed 1 point per game during his 12 games out which is standard reall...

If Citeh pay £100m for Grealish and we've got Harrison from Citeh for £10m it shows what a ridiculous sport this is. Harrison out stats Grealish by about 30% but comes at a 10th of the price. So cracking business on our behalf. I would hope Pep will stop the blatant diving if the deal goes ahead. J...

Perhaps Villa spending big in an attempt to become a real force is a factor in him staying at Villa? Going into their third season in the prem they are showing a lot of ambition to challenge for top 6. That's what has been the story in terms of our recruitment this summer: buying players to play al...

Many reports today that Man City will offer £100million for Jack Grealish and that this is genuine and City will do it when the Euros end (ludicrous money). But also that Villa's owners will offer Grealish a new contract and want to keep him ( the exact same attitude we should when it comes to key ...

from what i've seen from their athletic writer: they had agreements (like with Buendia) to let them go if a certain price was met even after promotion. With Rashica, think it was widely accepted in villa circles last summer that we were in for him but he "didn't want to go to a relegation battl...

Kane already dropping so deep. ugh

i know he's captain, but DCL/Watkins/Bamford surely would offer more than Kane has offered so far this tournament

It has to be part of a plan to reconstruct the midfield after Grealish has been sold this summer. There is no way that Villa are splashing so much cash for two players playing a similar role to their most expensive existing player. As I just said in my last post, I don't really know what to tank ab...

It was a strange bid really. Smith Rowe is an Arsenal fan, been an Arsenal player since he was 9 years old, would he even want to join Villa? Maybe as you say it was Villa doing an agent a favour to get Arsenal to cough up more money and Villa benefit another way somehow down the line? Ashley Young...

Is there a price at which Brighton would sell White? It doesn’t look like it. They must be loaded. the whole transfer market has to adjust to the English tax, plus that most PL teams are owned by billionaires whom don't need to sell players on the cheap. Knowing Arsenal's transfer strategy, it was ...

Arsenal reject a £25mil bid from Villa for Emile Smith Rowe. Villa are closing in on signing veteran Ashley Young on a free transfer. Not hanging about clearly not exactly sure what to make of our interest in ESR. Think he's a plausible target from our PoV, but Arsenal are never selling at that pri...

there are much better options out there for you guys (as the Raphinha signing proved).

But i want trophies :) You dont want to run at a huge loss but you need to raise your profile to earn the money to self fund and be successful on the pitch to. Until that happens you really do need a rich and generous owner. The Lowy family really makes me feel better because we know they are fans....

You obviously enjoy MOT mate :) Are you a member of any of the Villa forums Villan? yeah i do, lots of sensible folks to have decent discussions with. (if you want to see hilarious, the Norwich forum has been comedy -- for a villa fan-- over the past few days) Yeah I am and I post a decent amount t...

Really wish you would stop calling them the big six. You are disrespecting your own club and us everytime you say that. They are richer than us, 'tiss all. But NO BIGGER yeah you’re right. The media’s just pushed this narrative so much but they are the scum six. oh and I think both our clubs might ...

Not me :-D I always said the Championship is grossly overpriced and there's much better out there. exactly this. I am a bit surprised we weren’t looking at France but Buendia was our #1 main target apparently. Love how the big 6 clubs still don’t know this trick of buying good players at a reasonab...

https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/topic/142554-the-i-hate-villa-thread/ Norwich fans really dont like Villa? Any particular reason? They wanted Buendia to go to Arsenal We took Lambert off the back in like 2012 and there was a saga over Wes Hoolahan handing in a transfer request to join us then n...
