I wouldn't say our inactivity is purely down to having no money. I would guess it's just typically slow progress from Martin. Also I'd imagine, we're waiting on other clubs to buy replacements or decide one way or another if certain of our targets will be let go.

Robbie Keane for example, may still remain at Spurs if Redknapp doesn't get the replacement he wants, or decides to sell Pavlyuchenko instead.

Surely, if we really wanted to push through a deal for one of our targets now, we'd have some cash at the ready. Maybe 10-20 at a guess, 20 being more on the optimistic side.

Don't be sensible! Its down to us been broke and our future is reliant on us selling our best player every year to bring 3 or 4 average replacements to sit on the bench!!

Quote from: "Phil from the upper holte"
Milner in exchange for...

Ireland, Bellamy, De jong & Bridge


Bridge? No thanks. He's not better than Warnock & I'm sure Bridge has had his fair share of bench warming.

I rate De Jong & Ireland.

Bellamy would be a good signing but I can see him going to Spurs.

Quote from: "Mazrim"
The sheer arrogance of these cocksuckers is staggering. They spend ridiculous money on average players and then expect to pay a reasonable price for truly excellent players...

Quote from: "Skysports"
"Torres is one of the best strikers in Europe and is already playing in the Premier League for three years and knows it very well," said Mancini.

"But it depends on his situation - his price and whether he wants to come.

"There are two or three strikers that we could go for, but it is the same situation as it is with James Milner.

"First there is the price and then it depends if the players want to change team. Until today, Liverpool haven't bought many players."

Milner continues to interest Mancini but, after spending heavily already this summer, the City boss insists the club will not be held to ransom.

"When Manchester City enquire about a £10million player, the club asks for £20million. That is not good for us," said Mancini.

"James is still a player who interests us, but only at the right price."


I hope you choke on your stupid scarf you greasy twat. We're not mugs to take the piss out of. You've tapped him up and now you're making out you're balking at the price after spending £19m on a decent left back. Pay up or fuck off. If I was Randy I'd put the price up again.
I really hope these scum go out of business soon. I can deal with them having loads of money but there's no excuse to act as they do.


To this day, I still have no idea how our former pig faced manager ever got fined for his quite tame James Beattie comments, given some of the gems like this and from the likes of 'arry Redknapp since.

He's no worse than Warnock, IMO.
And, if he's had his fair share of bench warming, he'll be dead keen on getting of it.

Totally agreed, not that I ever wish to stick up for O'Fuckwit, but the way he was the only one singled out for this type of thing was madness.

unless james milner says he wants no part in aston villa's future he'll travel with the squad to portugal for pre-season training.

He was'nt singled out as such, it was only because Rupert Lowe (Southampton's chairman at the time) lodged a complaint with the F.A.

If we were to keep Milner I wouldn't sign Ireland and instead target a Petrov upgrade with the money.

Witsel is my preferred target, but just the principal of Milner and Ireland being similar enough that other areas would become a higher priority.

is it not because UEFA ruled that when Madrid approached Ronaldo in such a way it was not tapping up and that set the bench mark ?
