[old man villa fan]

So what were Collymore and Taylor on about when they mentioned exciting times ahead.  After today, it's going to take a hell of a lot to get me excited about Villa.

Perhaps they fell for the PR?

Are you mad? The North Stand is being jet washed and you're asking this?

Great summer so far. No takeover it seems, spine of our team gone but at least they got the Karcher out and done the North stand.

Are they going to send us 3-D glasses?

I have a strong feeling that the proposed takeover may be very much on. This coming Monday is the final day for the proposed buyer's,whoever they might be, to declare their intentions. We have only heard from Tim Sherwood, who might be under instructions from above. Nothing at all from Randy Lerner or Tom Fox or anyone of note.

10mil for Amavi doesnt equate to Randy's way of thinking. Neither does putting in a bid of 9mil for Embolo. I dont know. Far more respected posters than me will state very good reasons why this takeover is 'as dead as a Delph'  oops sorry dodo, but I think we could be in for shock news maybe even next week.

Aren't we just spending the cash generated from sales? I know Benteke hasn't gone yet but it looks like it.

To be honest SH Im not sure of anything. But something is not adding up. We shall see.

A welding mask might be more suitable

We've spent £21.5 million and recouped £11.5 million, so we aren't just spending what we bring in.

I tell you what is adding up, it seems our best 2 players will leave within days of one another. That's not a sign we about to be bought by Oracle, Carlos Slim or the 28th richest man in China. I suspect next week will come and go and we will hear nothing.

But it doesn't take a genius to work out Benteke is on his way out.
If we spend £40m+ I'll be impressed.

But Lerner normally gave Lambert around £20m to spend and maybe Sherwood now had the Delph money as well.

And just as importantly it seems like we're paying wages that attract decent players.
