Its like apologising to your missus when she is annoyed at you.

You might be in the right, but experience tells you to say sorry anyway.

May I just say, fucking well played by all at Villa Park. We never said one thing while Feyenoord ran around making complete muppets of themselves saying we'd fucked them over this deal. We took care of our business in the US, won all of our games and came back and wrapped this deal up with no fuss at all. What a superb summer it has been so far.

I get the feeling that he thought the deal would be concluded sooner and so felt a bit messed around when we didn't due to having to go on tour. It's one of those situations where neither side is in the right or wrong and that could have been resolved by better communication from each side.

Pleased about this, a partnership of Vlaar and Clark has to be better than Dunne and Collins, plus both are comfortable on the ball and can pass out from defence. Bodes well for the style of play next season.

Fully agree ToLambo. In all the ups and downs of the Lerner era,the way we conclude our transfer business without any fuss or talking to the media is something to be proud of.

Welcome on board Ron.

He's been quoted as saying the Villa 'apologised for the way they acted' so that suggests we fucked something up.

Baker's looked good on the US tour - another option and Lambert does like to use ALL of his squad!

It might also be something simple along the lines of "sorry if there was any confusion" as opposed to a major fuck up on our part. I can't imagine we actually told we would conclude the deal before we went away and then proceeded to leave him hanging. If that was the case he would have told us to do one I imagine.

I imagine we've at least doubled his wages.  I don't think there are many footballers that would tell a club offering them that much money to 'do one'.

Or he's trying to save face.

We were reported to be doubling his wages from 15k to about 30k if I recall correctly.

I imagine we apologised for bothering him/upsetting him - and not for our conduct.
