January Transfer Window - Rumours, Links, B*llsh*t and Made-Up Nonsense

[Clark W Griswold]

I would love it if we got Adebayor, even if it was just for a few months.

Good for you. I'm not sure the rest of the Aston Villa squad would share your excitement however.

[Clark W Griswold]

Samba plays on the left of the back two doesn't he?

Which would suggest he'd have some sort of understanding with Warnock, considering their form together at Blackburn. Likewise Friedel too.

Young - Cuellar - Samba - Warnock

Looks a solid back four to me. I'd like Maynor Figueroa too, but I guess that's only gonna happen if Warnock goes.

It looks about as solid as my new years day bowel movement after 8 cans of guinness last night.

If we're heading for a relegation dog fight, Samba and players of his ilke may be just what we need
We may not get out of this mire by playing lovely little triangles

8 cans! An early night then??

i wouldn't mind Adebayor. A mercenary and temperamental but him playing for a move somewhere in the summer. Probably give him some motivation to turn it on for us

[Nastylee]

Adebayor - It makes me laugh on here. Aren't most top players 'cocks'? Take Rooney for example, a plonker with plenty of baggage but no doubting a top player. Tevez, recently proved he's a bit of plonker and the list goes on. Players play football and I'm not overly concerned what they choose to do in their own time. The people that call these players cocks are the same ones that would call Shearer 'Mary Poppins' so it's swings and roundabouts.

[Greg N'Ash]

aye. adeboyer, gabby and heskey sounds a better line up than (presumed retired) Carew and the fonz who still doesn't convince me

People were making the same excuses about why we should sign Ireland.

What we need are players with some bottle to help battle our way out of the position we find ourselves not ones who are going to sulk if things don't go their way.

[Greg N'Ash]

erm....MON signed a lot of nice players and they currently aren't showing much bottle either

They showed plenty of bottle last season, for whatever reason, we've seen hardly any of it this season.

[Greg N'Ash]

they showed it when things were going right. big difference

Players don't play for a manager these days, they play for themselves. If they have the hunger then the team benefits. Money means most players are divs.

Well, apart from coming back from 2 down in the Semi against Blackburn and 2 down at Reading in the F.A Cup, snatching a last minute winner at Everton and going to Man Utd and winning and having a bloody good away record in general.

[Chris Smith]

Nonsense, after getting hammered at Chelsea, for example, of our next 5 league games we won 4 and drew 1 .

[Greg N'Ash]

the point i'm making is carew can spend his weekends being pissed in a strip club in the bar and slagging off the manager on facebook but if he shows bottle on the pitch, i don't really care. Being a bit temperamental, high maintenance, or a dick etc., who cares? So was McGrath
