Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[curiousorange]

Southampton can't be that exciting a club if you have to go mooching around on a Villa forum trolling us over a transfer link.

Although.. checking twitter seeing all the Soton fans saying "why would he leave us and European football for a relegation battle in a shithole.." and saying it'll never happen makes me 100% up for this. Sign him up, just to piss off the wankers.

Because they're a small club who have had a couple of good seasons in the last 30 years, that's why c***s, don't get above your station.

Just like yo-yo champions Leicester and Stoke, a side that were build on borderline cheating. You've had a couple of decent seasons where you either haven't been relegated or finished around 10th, calm down dears.

I honestly hate - hate - just or recently promoted clubs.

They get into the top flight and they're full of all that "Premier League, you're having a laugh" bollocks just because they're over excited at being able to visit big grounds. They are pretty much always a bunch of overexcited twats who were doubtless nowhere near their club for decades while they were mooking about in the third division.

They manage to stay in the top flight a couple of years, after years and years of being a pointless yo-yo club, and they're all giving it big about "clubs like Villa".

I read that stuff about Stoke fans the other day and it made me want to vomit. Honestly, years of not being in the top flight, a few of being there and becoming the absolute by-word for dirty, cynical, zero entertainment, followed by a short spell of being less fuck ugly to watch and a bit of spending and they think they're Barcelona.

Remember those ingratiating, smug Stoke twats we used to get on here?

I hate these people.

You do realise Southampton have been in the top flight for 30 out of the last 37 years and only been relegated once in that time, don't you?

Southampton have one of the best Academies in the world, have 30k+ through the gate each week, are a club being run well in profit and are currently the 'best of the rest' in terms of the league, not to mention currently playing in Europe.

Do you HONESTLY think Fonte would walk away from being the Captain of Southampton in exchange for a relegation scrap with Villa?

Interesting first post on a Villa forum.

Just putting some of your deluded fans right.

I'm off again now. 

Because you know for  a fact we will be in a relegation scrap?  And that you won't?  Your better players from last season wanting to play for Liverpool and Spurs doesn't bode well for wanting to be the best of the rest...

[Marlon From Bearwood]

What an inspired signing Senderos turned out to be.

Whatever the reasoning behind going for Senderos over Lescott last summer, it will always rank to me as one of Villa's most baffling transfers.

I would assume it came down to the difference in their wage demands. Lescott is supposedly on £50k a week. We weren't paying those wages last year.

[PaulWinch again]

Thing is Southampton are well run and they have done well the last couple of years, but it doesn't change the fact that their just a bit dull. Also where they are at the moment is that absolute maximum they can achieve. They won't ever average crowds of more than 30K or push further. So well done to them they've done as much as they ever can.

You would if you lived there. It's a dump, full of chavs and makes Portsmouth look like the Riviera, which is saying something. The ground is an awful part of the city, which doesn't really tell you much because it is all awful, and is about as identikit as it's possible to be and, it always seems to me, full of blonde overweight women with Southampton shirts on.

Look he's crawling up my wall
Black & hairy, very small
now he's up above my head
hanging by a little thread
Boris! Boris the spider!

It's fortunate for them that the local team plays in vertical stripes, which are slimming.

Stoke, a City as close to purgatory as you could imagine, playing a version of Football not seen since Wimbledon bludgeoned there way up the divisions with a mix of intimidation, thuggery and big bastards in the air. They invented the designated throw in taker ffs, and a twat at the sidelines with a towel tucked in his massive waist line to help when it was wet.

Just 8 years ago, that's all, 8, we're playing infront of 16,000 attendances in a promotion season, with 2 top 10 finishes in the top flight IN 40 FUCKING YEARS, the last two. If anything sums up the Sky sports, transfer fee rolling total, Chelsea are a huge club, memory like a goldfish generation it's these wankers.

Two season in 40 years they've finished as a top 10 side, probably finished above us on a handful of occasions, I wouldn't be surprised if they've never had an average attendance higher than ours and they've the cheek to look down on us as a perennial, boring, non entity small club.

They can get to fuck the clowns, they're tiny. And as for Southampton, how many times did they have debts cancelled and go in to administration? Nothing more than fucking cheats and piss pot clubs.

This is why we've needed to get our shit in order, having clubs like Southampton, Stoke and Leicester trying to throw their weight around makes me sick. We need to start twatting them again, in front of 40,000's to remind their tiny memories of what we are like, 5 years is too long for the little sky boys to remember.

Who bloody are ya.

We went in to administration because of an overdraft of £5m and a mortgage. A debt of less than a Luke Shaw fee. The debts were paid off on purchase.

This happened just once.

Some of you don't seem to know much about football, do you?

Bill Shankly knew a lot about football. He called you "an alehouse team" Come on a bit since those days granted but still a small time club in size and stature.....like Bournemouth!

You do realise that listing achievements such as "being in the top flight for 30 out of 37 years" and "30,000 gates" is exactly what seperates your no-mark, won fuck all, piss pot club from a fine institution such as ours.

You're Birmingham City on a good streak, your time will come and go, and the limit of your achievement will be a league cup.

So kindly fuck off.

The bit in bold puzzles me when Boris says he's educating us about football?  Do we now have to turn up and sing songs about paying off debts through player sales?  Football sure has changed.

[Clark W Griswold]

And Southampton will have been in a hell of a lot of relegation scraps in that 30 years out of 37, a damn sight more than Villa. And what have they won in that time?

To be honest I don't have a problem with Southampton at all, almost been pleased to see them making a relative success of themselves recently without throwing the sums of money around that some do. It's ridiculous that they consider it such a joke that one of their players might want to come here though.

[richardhubbard]

We can take the piss out of Southampton but remember they are in Europe and the last 5-10 years has produced

Gareth Bale
Theo Walcott
Alex Chamberlian
Adam Lallana
Luke Shaw

Turned Ricky Lambert into an England international and finish it top 7

We finished in bottom5 sold our best players and produced

Weinmann
Ridgwell
Moore
etc etc

If we had their players and our combined potential we been in the champions league!

 

[curiousorange]

I like the way that within one truly devastating comment, we've been put "right" over our place in the natural order of things.

Anybody else find fans of suddenly-decent clubs like Southampton a bit 'new money'?

[RussellC]

You're probably right, but in which case I think most people would have advocated not signing Joe Cole to make-up the difference. Whichever way you look t it, it will always strike me as an utterly bizzare signing. Yes he was actually pretty decent in the handful of games he played, but the fact that he then spent a huge amount of time out injured should have come as no shock whatsoever given his injury history.

Yeah.  If we agreed a deal with them for someone like Fonte I think it's pretty likely they would come here.
