Pat Murphy says no more business at Villa this transfer window.
I hope the coin is a double headed one.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Pat Murphy has just had it confirmed that Villa expect to do no business today - from the bbc website.

At least that'll spare me some time checking for updates for the rest of the day.

[Tom_Mc9?]

We even do transfer deadline day the boring fashion.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

If true then our total outlay this window is £2.75m.

If true then our total outlay this window is £2.75m.

A pretty impressive demonstration of the "couldn't give a fuck" attitude of our owner.

Terrible, terrible stuff.

[Tom_Mc9?]

We absolutely stink out the league. It's embarrassing.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

This is a general comment not only about our club but the whole farce that is the end of the transfer window. I don't really get the panic and excitement about deadline day deals. Why should all the dealing be left to the last minute? I know we are in the shit, but because we are not bringing anyone in today, it doesn't make our position worse surely? I was pleased with Gil and Sinclair and I'm sure things will improve with them in the squad but I don't understand the hype over today.
Sorry, I don't get it.

Total outlay last summer plus this window is less than £9m.

It's our last chance to strengthen the squad. We aren't taking it.

It doesn't make our position worse, no, but it also doesn't improve it enough. That's the problem part of it all.

[Villafirst]

If true then our total outlay this window is £2.75m.

Even Bournemouth have bid £5M for Demari Gray. We are being outspent by Bournemourh! Lerner is sleepwalking towards the Championship!

A nightmare position for Lambert, how many left backs has he bought and canned so far? the right backs aren't much better. I like Hutton but when Lambert's tactics rely on the fullbacks to deliver crosses we are f*cked.

[eamonn]

Isn't it possible that there is more money there for Lambert but he is frugal when it comes to spending money? Pretty sure some Villa mole hinted at this before.

[mr underhill]

or that they don't trust him with any more dosh or that Randy just doesn't want to spend any more?

[kippaxvilla2]

Unless he is going to be sacked so what is the point of spending more money today.
