Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[peter w]

Appointing a young, ambitious manager. Shipping out the expensive wasters. Signing nothing but promising young players for modest fees. European U19 champions. Bringing through academy talent.

If we end up winning the Champion's League one day, they'll have to turn it into a Hollywood blockbuster.

Yes, it's nice is'nt it?

As I said during the season, been a long time since i've enjoyed being a Villa fan this much.

Allthe way through?I can only remember being sick with worry in the lead up to most games.

The home form was'nt great again. I thought we played some really decent stuff away from home at times though.

Well, then, you're quite clearly mental.

 I'm absolutely onside with that, the only time I had doubts was when the hangovers were really bad and even a bacon sandwich couldn't bring me hope.

Or maybe i'm just not a big girls blouse.

Fair enough. Let me just weigh it up for a second.

Nope, its you. You're mental.

Grow up

Any Armenians on the transfer market ?

[claret and blue blood]

We seem to be pressing ahead and getting our targets in without selling anyone yet which is a good sign. 

[olaftab]

0-3 Armenia ....

Danes are worse than Scotland. I am not sure we should be signing any of their players!

Just as I was mental for saying all season we wouldn't go down

I can see both sides.

I spent most of last season's matches pacing around, smoking three cigarettes at the same time, shitting myself and generally being a quivering wreck, but looking back, there was plenty of enjoyment.

Miles more than the season before.

I was nervous a few times of course, but I couldn't wait to get to games.

What Peter missed was this post that helped explain why I enjoyed last season so much.

I did. I looked forward to every game I went to. I've probably got to go back to 95/96 for the last time I enjoyed a season as much. I felt connected to the team, it felt like MY Aston Villa. That counts for more than just results to me.

And what we are doing so far since the season ended just reinforces that feeling.
