[CBAV06]

1 million now, 5 million later. There are times to cave in and there are times not. We will still get him but we are stonewalling now.

Two days before the trip?

Are we flying out somewhere in two days?

Just took a look at his twitter account. links through to this classy pic of his bar bill from a club in Miami.

Is that picture not from a sportsman from America? There has been a big deal made out of it in USA.

I don't think this is purely down to paying £1m or not. The way Whelan leaked the move for Martinez has probably left a sour taste with the Villa board. I think it's now about putting one over on Whelan & backing the fucker into a corner. If we seriously wanted him we'd pay the £1m, maybe, just maybe, we don't really want him & we want to feck Whelan about with his only source of transfer revenue. He's also the one who made it public about N'Zogbia. Whelan made the our board look naive over Martinez, perhaps this is our board's way of paying him back.

There is no one else bidding for N'Zogbia, he's down to his last 12 months and a shitty little club like Wigan cannot afford to let him go for nothing. We can let Wigan stew & the closer it gets to August 31st the more desperate they will get to sell.

The closer it gets to August 31st the more ridiculously anxious this forum will get.

Not sure on the picture, but there was an NFL player that did the same thing while they were 'hurting for money' and some fans were pissed. Could be same picture, but I dont know.

[TimTheVillain]

Every Villa fan I communicate with is saying the same ' just a million more ?'

Tedium personified.

Whelan is a top businessman aswell as a good chairman. We have just sold £40m worth of players, he will stick it out as long as he can to get top dollar for him. I'd pay mo more than 12m.

Could get Tommy Hitzelsperger for free, least he will give 100%

Whelan is also a Gobshyte that likes press attention. Plenty of time to do a deal.

[GJH]

Maybe, but he holds all the cards.

No he doesn't the player does. Won't be long until he starts saying he gonna stop and see his contract out

[GJH]

Yea and how wrong is that, merceneries every one of them.

[olaftab]

Yes but time is ticking. He has a depreciating  asset and he must sooner rather than later put his cards on the table.

[The Situation]

I actually can't believe we're stumbling over the sake of 1 million, we're already prepared to pay 9 million, just pay the one extra million and stop pissing off the fans.

Can you imagine how this board would go into meltdown if we didn't end up signing Zoggy because we weren't prepared to pay 1 million more?

[GJH]

It is depreciating, but he can still hold us to ransom over the fee. I would. Anyone would.

If we dont sign him someone else will nip in and get him.

Trouble with these inflated fees Caroll 35m! Only because Liverpool had 50m burning a hole in their pockets and Newcastle knew it.

He's worth no more than 10m - same thing.
