Welbeck at 16m is better value than greedy Cleverly.

Well, I'd have happily signed him but I'm glad we haven't let him hold us to ransom. Good luck, you mediocre c*nt.

This is my opinion too. He's not a player you would ever pay a premium for, and it looked like we were already willing to pay over the odds because he's an England international. So f*** him, frankly.

Not while Jim White is on the screen it won't Damon.

We are a few key injuries away from a crisis again. Was the same at close of last Jan's transfer windows and look at what happened. Better hope that the injury fairy is kinder to us than it has been over the last few seasons.  There is no doubt that we are a stronger outfit this season than we were at the start of last season. We've held onto Vlaar and he seems to forming a good partnership with Senderose. Benteke and Kozac to come back. We haven't seen Joe Cole yet. So it bodes well for the few months ahead....... baring injuries of course. Up the Villa!

If people are throwing Hutton and Bent into the mix then we need to look at the bigger picture.

Hutton - last year of contract.  Can negotiate with other clubs in January.
Bent - in last year of contract.  Can negotiate with other clubs in January.
Delph - in last year of contract.  Can negotiate with other clubs in January.
Grealish - in last year of contract.  Think we may have to get a fee if he goes because of his age but even so.
Vlaar - in last year of contracts.  Can negotiate with other clubs in January.

I think as an urgent priority the wages saved on Cleverley should be used to tie this little lot up.

Fully agree that is what we should do.

Except Bent. Happy to let him go. He kept us up three years ago and that alone was worth the fee

Quite Gabby and N'Zogbia also in the same boat, I think once these 3 go at the end of the season and we free up some £180k per week in wages we may see an exciting attacking signing or 2.  I'd sign the other 4 up sharpish though.

When Delph and Sanchez are both banned due to their yellow card count, we can always rely on Clark in the centre of midfield alongside the baulk of Joe Cole and Ashley!!!  We have strengthened the defence but still have zero creativity in midfield.

Oh great. Steve Parish is on the radio. Again.

Thanks for that mental image!

Bit disappointed to be honest. Still I agree we can't overpay wages for players like Cleverley, he should have been delighted to sign for us and get his career back on track. If he prefers to rot in ManU's reserves for a year then more fool him.

Peaked a bit early with the beers, onto the creme de menthe now .

That's why i would have kept hold of KEA until any deal had gone though. We could have always sold him in January.

So we can take it that we won't be getting anyone in now?
