Will Sylla & Dawkins help Villa stay up?

[Meanwood Villa]

Have I been i a coma for several weeks, and missed these new players playing several game & stinking the place out?
 
How about giving someone a chance before writing them off as being useless.

We may still go down, but i would rather we had bought these two than spent £12.5m on Samba @ £100,000 per week and could still go down and heading towards going bust!

FFS give them a chance!

The Metro made me laugh this morning when they described Arry as the master wheeler dealer!! Master what?!?!?! Am I missing something here? What Master Wheeler Dealer spends £12.5m on an ageing defender & gives him £100k a week? He's done the equivalent of going to a sweet shop & buying a small bag of penny chews, handing over a £50 note & saying keep the change!! Master wheeler dealer? Master bellend more like

Completely agree. I'm looking at it now, it actually says he "works his magic". Presumably that's the kind of magic Portsmouth fans will be thanking him for in League 2 next season.

At least this Sylla should add some balance to the side. Hope he's got a head like a concrete paving stone.

Scylla and Charybdis ..between the old rock and the hard place!

They'll try but we're gonners whatever Sylla and Dawkins do. Well, not 'whatever'.

[Percy McCarthy]

Lambert has been talking through his fucking hoop.

Yet another Villa manager who seems to specialise in this.

[Clampy]

I don't think deep down any of us expected the club the spend £15-20m on players in Jan but we should have brought in more and better than we have. I bet even the players were sat around watching SSN waiting for players to come in and they're probably as baffled as the rest of us.

When you lose to the likes of Bradford, Millwall, Southampton and Wigan then alarm bells start to ring. For Lambert, they obviously did'nt ring loud enough.

No they will not - but we are building a great team for 2015 season

I like you're thinking, unfortunately it doesn't help our present situation.

[jonzy85]

No, if we stay up it will be because some of our abysmally, under-performing current players will remember how to play with the round thing at their feet and that occasionally goes flying through the air in the direction of their heads. That, or else, they will realise the personal financial implications of going down and all of a sudden, give a s***! (Hoping there is relegation clauses in most of our players' contracts.)

But back to the original question, if Sylla does perform to a level that makes such an impact that the team starts winning matches, it will have been one of the best signings in a January window...ever. I just can't see it. Too big a job, for someone with so little experience and who has never shown he can even perform in the French 1st division.

Not expecting much to be honest - but good luck to them .

Why weren't these players bought at the start of the window though ?

[JUAN PABLO]

Im sure Dawkins will provide assists for Bowery in the championship .

[Brian Taylor]

Randy is totally borassic..simple as that. He, simply, cannot afford The Villa anymore. Not until his US investments recover, anyway! Who is coming in to take us out?

[ktvillan]

They should both have the nickname "God", Sylla for God-Sylla and Dawkins for the irony.

Because we only had thruppence to spend. Agents tell players to wait until the last moment before committing to relegation threatened teams.

[The Left Side]

No, we could all see it happening too... but sadly the powers that be could not.
