@MatKendrick:
@willows17  I mean that Villa did enquire, but from what I am told, they are unlikely to pursue their interest

Well we've ascertained that Kendrick isn't that well informed. So whoever is telling him isn't anyone who knows much either. we may or may not be going for him, but Kendrick hasn't got a clue.

Whoever is telling him knows everything. Whether they tell him the whole truth is a different matter.

If that is the case he must know that he is either told nothing or vaguely hears something. he's feeding off scraps and using any nugget of information as evidence of him being a Villa insider correspondent. Surely he'd just say,"Sod that".He must know he's been used or played. Throw him a scrap and he'll be happy. has he no dignity?

Anyone easily offended and wandering into this thread will note that lazy Brummie racists who copy their xenophobic ancestors are incapable of distinguishing between Chinese & Japanese people. Nor of appreciating half decent Villa player Jap punning.

 He, like all reporters, writes what he finds out - how is he supposed to do any different?

I appreciate that side of it and understand his professional needs. But I'm talking about him as a person. At what point do you seriously start questioning things?

I'll never forget standing at the back of the Holte for the Villa - Blackburn replay in 90. The faithful started singing,'We hate Yorkshire and we hate Yorkshire'. I just shook my head in embarrassment. Thick twats.

Back on transfers if I may. What about Scott Parker? I reckon he'll either be on his way out at Tottenham or on the bench at best. He's not going to go anywhere that will match his Tottenham wages - whatever they are but I bet its quite high - so what clubswould he want to join. Agrowing, young team,that lambert is trying to build that is full of fire and passion, ability, and bags of potential. We won't pay him more than 40-45k a week probably, but no-one else will pay him much more than that. I also doubt we couldn't afford the transfer fee.

Ialso think he is the type of footballer that Lambert goes for. I really don't think Lambert is against buying experienced players as long asthey except our wage structure which I think Parker would. He'd be ideal for our midfield. And he's a realistic target.

He's got a point, though, anyone who thinks Blackburn is in Yorkshire truly is beyond salvation.

What is there to question? "Are you interested in x?" "No." Where do you go from there?

I remember when we attacked a Sunderland mob up town, early eighties it would have been. People were shouting 'Geordie scum, get out of Brum'. I was so embarrassed I couldn't hit anybody.

Dim-wits.

It would be a no from me for Parker. He's 33 soon, on a reported 60K a week, and Spurs supposedly want a few million for him. The exact type of signing I hope we stay well away from.

Maybe it doesn't help that I don't know who he is.I'm assuming he's the Villa reporter for some local paper.

as I said, I get that. My point is at what stage does hewonder what the point is and starts asking for different briefs or just starts writing negatively about the club?
