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

[curiousorange]

martin has taken us this far and i thank him but the time  had come for a change! i wish martin all the best in his future and hope we can move on now.

No, the time to move on was at five o'clock on the last sunday of 2009-10, not five days before the start of the next sodding season!

I cannot believe that article had even the merest grain of truth to it. Out of all the bullshit I've read this summer, that looked the dictionary definition of it. Oh, God, this is bad. This is very, very bad.

If even some of that article is correct then we should be a tad worried for the season ahead.If Young goes I will be gutted

[Hammer]

Might as well close this thread now, eh?

I'm only half-joking.

[Mazrim]

That bullshit hurt my eyes and then my brain.

  What are you feelings now Maz ?

The same. It makes my eyes and brain hurt. Who the fuck underlines everything? Its unreadable.

The depressing thing is now with no manager, there is the possibility that we will not have brought in any new blood in 18 months!

I do hope that we can agree a few deals without a manager particularly Ireland. It might be a forlorn hope but it is a hope.

Oh yeah? You just don't get it - LERNER WILL NOT BUY ANY PLAYERS! Why the fuck do you think MON resigned?? If I was Ireland, I'd steer well clear of Villa Park.

[Monty]

Calm down Villafirst, Sandman was just expressing a hope.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah agreed, Villafirst seems a touch hasty to go nuts at people on here.

I tweeted Neil Moxley at the Mail regarding the rumour that Ireland was having his medical today he replied:

@adamhamer1 other villa related issues are occupying me at the mo. Will chk and update.

I wonder...

Well.............whatever could he have meant do you think ?

Calm it down mate, no need for the shouting.

We are all frustrated, worried, apprehensive etc but at least thus far Lerner in 4 years has given us little to doubt. The new man will get cash I am sure.

Anyway, on the Young thing The Guardian may usually be quite reliable but it is bollocks in this case. I've not heard anything solid (Ie not from a newspaper) on Young leaving.

That sound very realistic now!!!!
Never mind the Guardian, you need to read Football Transfer Rumours for the facts:-

Ed, more news on the Martin O Neill situation (if you recall it looks like we have the same sourse of information). The McGeady deal is now dead in the water, McGeady had stalled the Moscow deal as much as he could to allow MON to step in and this suited Celtic as they wanted Davies as part of the deal. Anyway, it appears that MON is nearer to the door than expected (I predicted December) and could be gone by the end of the transfer window and so McGeady has decided to go to Moscow. This is down to yet another disagreement with Lerner in the amount available to spend from the Milner deal and now having Paul Faulkner(CEO, you is playing a bigger part at Villa)+ Lerner having to rubberstamp the deal. I'm also told that there is an extreme possibility that Ashley Young is also to be sold and as MON's golden child, this will finally make him walk. Expect this to be Spurs, Liverpool or Inter Milan. Another factor also is that Villa have had a bid of £3m for Carew, MON happy to let him go but Lerner sees Carew more of a fans favourite than both Milner and Young, plus the fact he has been the top scorer for 3 seasons, despite major injury setbacks. Ed- you heard this {editor's note - my info is that MON is just waiting for Lerner to force him out rather than walking out. He did say it is looking like coming to a head and suggested a player being sold over MON's head would be done to force him to quit. He didn't give a name, but I guessed it would have to be Young, it was the only one that would make sense. I was told to the MON out and a new man in before the end of the transfer window was Lerner's plan. It is certainly looking interesting.}

Can we close this thread now?

[Mazrim]

Why? If you dont like it, look elsewhere.

Touchy, how the fuck we gonna sign anyone without a manager, its now a redundant thread
