  1. Please let us see some improvement today, so far this season we have looked like 11 strangers who have turned up for a kick around at the park. Carrick has to now show some flexibility especially in the way he sets up his midfield, the rule of any struggling team, make yourself difficult to play against and difficult to score against. Unfortunately I have seen nothing in the coaching make up so far that believes we can make the necessary changes and I fear therefore that we are in for another defeat this afternoon. I can only live in hope that something will change
  2. Having watched us pulled all over the place at WBA and looking at that team selection I cannot see what Carrick has changed to give us anything extra
  3. Just switched across to watch the game and lasted 5 minutes, I just cannot watch Archer in Sheff Utd colours, it is just not right. Like a few have said on here I just cannot seem to get going this season, I don’t know if it is the disappointment of the play offs, the departure of our star players, the recruitment or just the overall feeling that we are not going to compete this season
  4. I also think that will be it now for the day and we can then concentrate on trying to blend all these new players into a team, which imo is going to take all season to do which will make any push for a top six position highly unlikely. Still concerned where the goals are coming from. On another note after an initial discussion with the Villa hierarchy as to the likelihood of loaning Archer and Ramsey again and being knocked back, we had no further contact with the club. All those weeks of speculation, what a waste
  5. It is so nice for us to sign a player, in O,Brian, that I have actually seen play before and rate highly. Of the new batch the only other one I have watched was Dieng and I was a bit meh about him. Onwards and upwards but it is going to be quite a coaching task to meld all these strangers into a coherent system and unit
  6. Have a peek in the goals against column in the last 10 matches or so, the answer lies there
  7. It is puzzling me also, we need full backs, defensive midfielder and a striker so we loan another attacking midfielder to the six or so that we already have
  8. Don’t forget the bit about the screw the club financially at the same time whilst lining his own pocket. Have you gathered yet that I can’t stand the man on any sort of level
  9. You obviously have no idea about the character and lack of morals of that man
  10. Good summing up that and I entirely agree we need to switch to 4 3 3 and put cover in front of our defensive back line
  11. Pulis what really, you are entitled to your opinion but if there is a second coming of that man I will walk away from this club
  12. I very rarely do this but I am off to do some gardening AR this is calamitous
  13. Carrick must be tearing his hair out with the way WB are strolling through our midfield, please someone at the club find us a defensive midfielder who can actually tackle
  14. From what I have heard from Wolves fans you are spot on. We wanted Giles, Giles wanted to come back, Wolves wanted ridiculous contract terms, we walked and Luton didn’t
  15. My understanding of how this Villa type of sale works is that they will sell Archer to Sheff U for £18 mill payable over three years. If at anytime SU wish to sell him then Villa have first option at an agreed max sum of the original selling price plus a small percentage, with the player’s salary and conditions for transfer based once again on his original contract plus a percentage. Advantage to Archer he gets to play in the Prem at increased salary, advantage to Villa the player gets three year’s development and if successful they are not fleeced on the buy back and if unsuccessful they have
  16. At the beginning of this season, we had the sixth most valuable squad of players in the Championship, with the comings and goings we have now dropped to twelfth. It will take time for our new players to prove themselves and indeed some never will, but the league does not stand still for us and it is going to take a considerable time for a team to be formed that can challenge the best in this division
  17. People question on here why the asking price for Archer is so high, I think you saw the answer today, presented with those chances he would have put two of them in the back of the net
  18. I am fed up of coming on with negative comments so…. I thought Rogers looked really good and good debuts from Lath and Engel, some of the others well… no I won’t go there. There is a making of a team there, sadlyI think it will take most of this season to bed them in and promotion frankly is a pipe dream
  19. Bloody hell we look like we have a football team again
  20. McGree must be off then either that or he has royally p…….. off Carrick
  21. I have decided that, having suffered the first two games of the season, to limit my aspirations to a meaningful shot on goal in the 90 minutes, that at least would be progress. Come on Lath and Engel have debuts to be proud of
  22. So we buy Archer for £20 million he scores 40 goals in each of the next two seasons, becomes Englands next big thing and we have to sell him back to Villa for say 40 million in year three. How on earth does that work
  23. Very strange noises coming out of Villa Park at the moment, yes they want to sell Archer and Ramsey as Emery wants more players in before deadline day. It seems though that they will only sell on their terms at an inflated value plus a buy back clause at a specific amount triggered by them with a maximum wage structure agreed with returning player. This to me is madness, that is just another name for a loan but with all the financial commitment on the buying club, who in their right mind would agree to this
