What took so long?

[TimTheVillain]

Great stuff, just need to replace Downing now......

[VillaAlways]

I've got a horrible feeling Sunderland are going to come in for him and glancing at the forums the fans think so too.Can they  afford his £60,000 wage demands. 

[Surrey Villain]

Yes apparently

The way Sunderland have been spending and rebuilding, in short i would say absolutely.

[Concrete John]

I reclon they could afford the fee, but would £60k a week break their wage structure?

[TimTheVillain]

Surely to God we can get him now.

If Potato Head hijacks the bid, that really would represent a bad day in B6.

How much were they paying Dazza? I heard it was @ £35,000

[Villanation]

Its being said 9ML, that's about right, he's not an Ash Young and neither probably Downing, certainly doesn't have there status and experience, I would have thought if that's who the club want then at 9ML, if true, we could take a flyer on the wage, I mean we have just offloaded a couple of players that netted near on 40ML and taking into account there pay structure also, Downing and Young didn't play for Villa for nothing.

[PaulWinch again]

Sign him Villa, please.

[pauliewalnuts]

Hopefully the reason Doiwning hasn't signed for Liverpool yet (or has he?) is because we're insisting on tying it in with us getting this one.

I shan't be banking on it, though

[not3bad]

If we get this one I may become N'Zogbia3bad.

Pauliebentzogs is waiting to happen.
