Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[KevinGage]

Odd that you talk about freedom of speech/ censorship, yet your opening post was essentially telling a fellow Villa fan to keep his opinions to himself.  Can't have it both ways.

And so what if he called the current squad a pile of shite.  I wouldn't have gone that far, but most would agree that the squad of players we have is pretty poor at present.  So it's hardly a leftfield statement.

So selling your best players is now being referred to as selling from a position of strength and not a lack of ambition. Just want to make sure I keep up with the spin doctors.

Put it another way TV: would you rather be in our position or Southampton's?

I honestly don't know. If I'm a Southampton fan though I'm hardly confident or happy about losing pretty much the best players and manager. You know how that could end up because we've been living it for the past few years.

Fair enough.  Speaking personally, I can't see many - if any - positives in our current situation and I don't suppose Vlaar or Benteke can either.

Only a fool would pretend " everything is rosy " at the Villa and only a fool would describe everything as ´shit ´..............Godzvilla !

Can you kindly wind it in a bit please and argue the points raised without being quite so antagonistic.

Nobody is stopping you from airing your views, a mod though has quite rightly asked you to tone down your antagonistic tone. If you don't like it, then go elsewhere.

And you,re telling me off for being antagonistic ? ...laughable ........Godzvilla !

Oh good, another poster who likes to dish it out, but cannot take anything in return.

I,m sorry Ger Regan but how do you figure that out  ? , or maybe you also think the entire Villa Team is shit  (?), which was the original premise of this  argument , had you cared to check .
Mr Mod , I promise this is the last from me on this topic , I,ve  lost time that I,ll never find again .................Godzvilla !

I know fully well what the discussion was relating to, but thanks for your sarcasm, and for proving my case once again (for the record I don't believe the entire squad is shit), you overstepped the mark in making thinly veiled insults at other posters, including questioning whether they actually support the club. I remember you throwing your toys out of the pram when someone took your suggestion of Mjallby as assistant less than seriously, so there's a good deal of hypocrisy on your part here.

I'm tired of debating this with you too, but you've been warned by 2 different mods on this, if you want to keep posting on here, I suggest that you start paying attention to the warnings.

I know it isn't related to us but I hope even half of this true.

Cot beds? Is it 1st April?

Yeah but, no but ....

I know. Entertaining

No Luna or Tonev which presumably means they're off (or forming a new breakaway Bomb Squad). No Robinson either though which is odd.

You care to make this interesting?  A bet on whether Southampton will finish above us next season?  I say they will.

Robinson out on loan maybe? Luna and Tonev go bye bye's.

Its a shame and I really wanted them to succeed but as Tonev sadly proved against Mansfield he just has not improved since last season.

I'm glad someone spelled it out. I was getting really confused.

Pleased to see Benteke and Kozak coming along. They can't be too far from returning then I suppose. Even if they're not quite at full training yet, it makes sense for them to be around the group and also watch what they're working on.

We need to keep Tonev i think we are too quick to write players off. I think once he gets a goal he'll come to life, he actually runs at players which is something most of our players don't do. I would have took him to the USA instead of Enda.

Gabby, Weimann and lots of others didn't look that great either.
