I too would like to say that I haven't ruled out a move to Real Madrid.

Considering some of the players we do sign under Lambert are players we often know little about, it does seem strange not to have other options considering the scouting that must go on to find Benteke, Gill, Sylla etc.

It's like Hoolihan again, don't get the player you want and give up. I know it's not that simplistic but it's a bit disheartening.

It just feels so small time. I want this player (who in truth if City and he won't budge there should have been an indication well before the window of such), but if if I can't have him it will take me another 6 months to find an alternative. 5 days ago he was hopeful of 2 more, now none. I dunno, I just think we shoot ourselves in the foot, and that the finances can't possibly be that tight now. Didn't Kendrick say we were back on track before he was no longer covering the Villa.

Agent in 'failing to rule out move for client' shock. Ending in lucrative move or lucrative contract renewal.

thing is with a week to go in the window why worry about what the manager is saying? It's no different to what he said a week ago where he said he'd like one or two more if the deals made sense for the club. In the next 8 days or so a lot can happen and especially when clubs/players etc get a little more desperate.

These transfer windows are a complete bore under a disinterested owner and a dour  Manager. What exactly does Lerner get out of owning Villa?

I think I prefer the slumber of this window compared to the frenzy under MON/AM/Houllier.  People were pulling their hair out on a daily basis back then every time another club signed a player.

It's not compulsory to sign players in a TF.

Especially if delph leaves. We lose delph and don't add another you can be sure Sanchez will get crocked

Amazed we didn't sign another winger or striker, even a good one on loan. There must be someone we can borrow from superrich club.

Even unused players at superrich clubs are on high wages, which Villa currently cannot/will not pay
