Makoun was sold to Rennes, and apparently is going to be playing as (as Lambert likes to call it) 'a number ten' for Cameroon in the World Cup.
Resign him!

a cameroon No.10 sounds ace ;)

I always liked Makoun.
Hope he enjoys his World Cup.

another player had Houllier stayed would still be at the club. Him alongside Cabaye isn't a bad start at all when attempting to put together a creative, ball retaining midfield unit.

I know, missed opportunities.
However (bracing oneself) we are where we are.
And it is going to be fabulous.

Last August?
 I've only been following this Villa for sale stuff since April.

I was going to post that you have Gills but thought it might be misunderstood.

I am actually starting to believe that he genuinely did just stick the club up for sale last Sunday night after a couple of pints.

Yup. This past week had been this creeping feeling that things are actually going to get worse, not better in the months and years ahead. That we will have less money, not more. That we will look back on the past few seasons with fondness of when Randy cared versus the neglect we have ahead of us.

I see a dark sail on the horizon
Set under a black cloud that hides the sun

Bring me my  Ron Saunders know how and Cowans pass
Bring me my Toney Daley 7 shirt as a talisman

Have I missed something before on H&V. People quoting Jethro Tull lyrics ?

I think things are quiet because that is how it should be. I've said before that I don't think Randy would have said he wants out so publicly if the process wasn't already underway to some to degree and that he'll want all of this done as discreetly as possible. He has already tarnished his football legacy as chairman, but he won't want his entire legacy destroyed by selling to the wrong person or prolonging the sale any longer than he needs to. I think he understands that after such a period of uncertainty the club needs to approach next season in a much better state of mind than how it departed the previous one.

I hope the same things, Toronto.
And as for Jethro, the post before,

I will give you good cheer

Nice in theory, in practice Cabaye caused unrest at Newcastle and sulked until he got a move

and  Makhoun had about the same number of good games for us as Didier Six.

you can't apply what happened there to what might have happened anywhere else. There was a lot of unrest at Newcastle so without applying the same rules and circumstances we cannot say for sure he'd have done the same thing. While he played for them he was excellent and that got him noticed and a big move in the end. As much as Newcastle clearly missed him they also ended up with a very tidy profit.
