If he does go, I say we try for Haangeland on a free.

Would be delighted with such a move.

You really expect Lerner to pay his wages?
No chance. It'll be another cheap kid from the lower leagues.

Less of the aggression please. If you want to be an eternal optimist, so be it. Some of us though prefer to live in the real world.

You piss all over anything optimistic posted on here, and it's really starting to grate.

Indeed, and some people are of the opinion that slagging Lerner off on every thread is tedious.

Being negative about everything isn't the real world, it's just moaning. There's no degrees of shade to your outlook, you just seem to see the worst in every situation.

For what it's worth I don't think we'll sign him either, even if Lambert is interested, but that's because he's going to have a lot of options should he decide to leave. At this stage in our development I doubt we could offer him the guarantees that other clubs could.

You're the polar opposite though, Chris. In all the years I've read this forum I don't think I can remember you ever criticising anything at the Villa, so I take your comments with an almighty pinch of salt. No offence meant though.

Except those who don't tally with the 'everything is shite and always will be' theory, which are labeled not in the real world/deluded/off their rocker/generic insult suggesting mental ill health.

I never swear at anyone or get aggressive.
By the way have you been watching the Villa this season? There's not much that isn't shite about us at the moment is there?

we've had a shit couple of months. It doesn't mean that everything is shit. There is a massive, massive difference. We've all been angry and disappointed by how January went, but there have been performances by the team and individuals at times that provide optimism if you choose to acknowledge it.

That's because you don't read anything properly that doesn't agree with your narrow view. You don't take note or show any interest in anything that doesn't conform to your "everything is shit" mantra. I like to think my views are slightly more considered and any criticism is tempered with a bit of realism.

Take the post to which you responded, it's an implied criticism of the club not being in a position to attract the likes of the player in question. It's just a little more considered than your dull, repetitive drone. Any offence you wish to take is fine be me.

A shit couple of month? Okay.

The same could be said of you, Chris. Just the opposite way around though.
Everything at Villa is just constantly super, smashing, great in your world.

Christian Benteke.
Brad Guzan.
Andeas Weimann.
Respectable away form.
Trying to play a better style of football.

More worng than good given out league position, but ultimately you either want to see the good/better things or you don't.  It's your choice.
