But I already told you, I don't know of names. What I do know though is that you get what you pay for in life. I've said that many many times. The bargain basement shit is what has got us into this mess in the first place. We need to spend money, not scraping the bottom of the barrel with loans.

These days £5m for a striker is bargain basement though i'd have thought? I'd love another striker coming in but it will take some doing to find a decent one for that money is the point i'm trying to make.

I'd love us to spend £8m or so on Ba but Lerner just ain't gonna part with that kind of cash anymore.
I know it's early days but Gil looks decent and we spent a few million on him. What I'm saying is that you can pick up a good player for 5 or so million so by not give it a go?


We have.

It isn't enough.

Well we haven't got the money to do it more than we'd like unfortunately, so it's something you're just going to have to get used to.

That's a very defeatist attitude. Randy's worked his magic on you that's for sure.

We still haven't named the mystery five million pound miracle man.

As I've said before I'm not a Villa scout. It'd be nice to think we have one or two though!

Well considering Gil, Okore, Sanchez and Kozak are among our last few foreign imports, it would suggest we do.

You seem to have trouble with people not wanting to think that Lerner is a bad nasty man. Jeez.

Well exactly! Perhaps they could come up with a decent striker for approx £5m?
Or shall we look to cheap loan market instead?

Yeah, why not. We've saved a fortune on Cleverley not buying him.

And you have a problem with people who criticise him. I'm sure he's absolutely delighted he has you to fight his corner while his penny pinching turns us into perennial relegation strugglers!

Saving money seems to be the only important thing at the Villa under Lerner.

No I don't, you're entitled to your opinion. I just disagree with you, that is allowed.

Talking about saving money,  you may need to invest in some 'L E R N E R'  letters for your keyboard, they must be wearing out by now.
