Summer 2010 Transfer Thread: B*llsh*t, Rumours & Wishes

[curiousorange]

Has anyone spotted Heskey mooching around Blackburn estate agents yet?

No need, he still lives in Cheshire.

Ah, but looking round estate agents is usually used on forums as a reliable indicator of an impending transfer...

[Rip Van We Go Again]

A past it Keane and a shit McGready.

Ye Gods, have we sunk this low?

[JUAN PABLO]

Clyne  being rated again on the radio from people who have watched him, saying a very good player...

and also saying defonz has got something and will make it in the Prem , he is not getting the service and getting frustrated for England but he looks the part ..

John Bostock looking awful they said... ;-D


Id be very happy with Clyne and  Onuoha  coming in and getting rid of Beye and shorey .. and Luke young too which Im sad..

Guys, there's no money.... MON has said as much in the B'ham Mail today. It's sell to buy or nothing. I think the squad will be weaker at the start of the season, with no creative midfielder or new top class striker recruited. A disgrace after all the optimism 4 years ago. Once again the club get to the point of needing extra quality only to fall back. You can't really blame Barry or Milner, the club can't go any further with the current regime. I think Lerner deep down realises as much given no funds for MON. I predict he will claw back as much of his investment as possible and sell up at a profit next year. After all, he only paid £64M to take over the club, but would more than double that by selling up - he's a businessman after all said and done.
I really hesitated about buying a season ticket this year, but bought in the end - now I wish I'd saved my £495.00 because it clearly ain't going on new players!

I agree to a point, but I do genuinely believe that Randy Lerner is here for the long term, he just ain't got the available funding that he once had and like all of us - we have to learn to cut our cloth accordingly.

If you look at our accounts our wage bill is unsustainable. It's completely understandable that we should need to move players out before getting others in. Randy has been great for the club

Rubbish! We need to sell before we buy because our wage bill is unsustainable. Randy has invested a lot of money in the club and there is no way he would make any profit on a sale. We have just confirmed that we are undertaking a long term development of the North Stand. There is no way he is here for a fast buck! He is here for the long term and he will continue to invest.

Is The Mirror story by that Nixon fella who has a bit of inside info at Blackburn?

Nope everybody’s favourite Bluenose fantasist, James Nursey. He might have heard something of Nixon though.

We'll see. So, if 4 years ago Mr Lerner had said we would have to sell before we buy, you'd have accepted that? This harks back to the Deadly Doug days! The simple fact is we can't compete with Spurs, Man City etc. Our better players will gradually be cherry picked by our wealthier counterparts as those players will not realise Champions League football at Villa Park. Just accept it that it's another false dawn.

Man City sign another, todays lucky lottery winner is Kolarov.

How about you choose to believe that and i will choose to believe that i support a much better football club than i did four years ago. Did i expect more? Yes, but i also didn't expect Man City to be taken over by a billionaire and completly change the face of football. We can compete with Spurs and we will. Nobody can compete with Shitty and i don't think there is any shame is saying so. Randy will continue to pour money into the club i love and i am very grateful for it. At the moment i am very proud to be an Aston Villa fan, i dont think i could have said the same four years ago.

[toplad4u]

Sidwell not in squad today maybe Fulham transfers going throught!?

[SoccerHQ]

Blackburn only have Kalinic and Roberts as out and out strikers so they certainly need another.

Even for 2m, get him off the wage bill and give Carew a one year extension.

Carew, Keane, Gabby and Fonz. I'd be happy with that for the season.
