Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[supertom]

We should start dishing out bans to anyone who starts another Martin O Neill thread.

[rob_bridge]

Has Eastie been banned? Over-enthusiasm and using people's real names is hardly hangable is it?

Him, Risso, Fletcher, Nash...the lifeblood of H&V has drained a lot lately.

Fletch hasn't been banned.

Using people's names isnt hangable, no, but then again:

1. He hasn't been hanged.
2. He was asked more than once not to do the real names thing, and continued to do it, in fact, did it more.
3. There was a cacophony of people moaning to us about him. If you think we're worse off without him, then take it out on that lot *points at user base* it's their fault.
4. I liked Risso, too, but take a look at his last posts. They read like he was on a mission to get himself banned.

Hardly anyone ever gets banned on here, really, pretty much never, and even when they do, they usually get let back. That's a result of a massively hands-off approach to moderating.

It's disappointing when people do get banned that there's disappointed groaning about it, like we're some kind of Nazi cabal. The flip side of this being such a liberal, largely self governing place is that sometimes you just need to let us get on with it.

Ok - Eastie seemed to be losing the plot so hence a temporary ban is in order. Maybe I missed some postings which justified an extended ban.

Risso - will have to look up his previous posts. Got any links? I'm a Trot that he used to make fun of him being a Thatcher worshipper.

G'A'Sh arguing continuosly with a mod is not worth a ban. Sorry. A heated discussion. The site is poorer for that one. Big fan of PWS too.

Liverpool battler Jay Spearing at 1.5mil is a cheap deal and worth while. Under 29, Young tenacious and European and prem experience. Could do a job and be a healthy competition to our midfield. I may be anti Liverpool but know a quality midfielder when see one reminds me of a poor mans milner, parker, gardner, or nolan minus the goals. Its granted less talented but with development would progress. Totally committed and always offers an effort defiantly in the young and hungry category.

VK - this is not ironic or funny. You have to name a current 12 year old who will be the greatest ever footballer in 10 years time. Then, and only then we can make a fortune,

He reminds me of a poor man's chimney sweep child, from the Victorian era.

No offence, villa kicks, but you don't half champion some fucking awful footballers.

Does "Kevin Nolan minus the goals" even strike you as a thing to recommend a player for? Aren't the goals the single decent thing about Kevin Nolan? (Other than the fact he doesn't play for us, obviously)

I was going to post what would be my introduction to Villa Talk. Something along the lines of "I got fed up jousting with intelligent people on H and V, so thought I'd come over and shoot te breeze with you morons instead".

Then I read villa kicks' post, and I bumped into emptiness and started to cry. Oh no.

Thanks for the input.

Do you know the thing is doesn't matter what he looks like! But thing is he is a committed player like the others named i like this in a player. Compare spearing  to Ireland and he ain't awful he's a team player and Lambert would have him. He's better than Gary oneil but not kaka- who i know we won't get. Nolan always makes an effort his goals are coz of his know how and experience something spearing would get with regular premier league game time. Jo Jo shelvey too would have been a good move but he was obviously too much. For me spearing energy robust and team ethic would be welcome.

You're right, what he looks like doesn't really matter. His massive shitness, though, that does.

Also, better than Gary O'Neill but not as good as Kaka? Isn't that a description that fits about 90% of posters on this site?

[Tuscans]

Every time I pop on and see a Villakicks post it has me in stitches. Fair play to you though son...every post seems like you're enjoying life and that's what its all about.

That's a pretty good point.

Big Belly laugh!

We shall see ! Spearing and altidore to name just two are wanted names that will go on to show themselves to be pleasant surprises as these are players who want to develop. Likes of kaka and saviola established players mentioned will be successful wherever they end up. Maloney and demspey too. These are skillfully players. Spearing is a grafter and coz football coaches trying to go all technical  they lose sight of honest pros like spearing who wouldn't shirk a tackle.
