65k a week?

My main worry is that we'll give him a 3/4/5 year deal on 65k a week and end up getting about 10 appearances in return.Being positive once a decade would be a start. We seem to be about to sign a top quality player, on top wages. Above anything else it's a sign that the days of austerity may be over and we're going to start paying the going rate again. And you're moaning that we're paying it.

Forgive me for not keeping up to date with events but when I was on here last night we were about to be bought and therefore nobody was allowed in or out. But today we are signing Micah Richards. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?As for Micah Richards I think he is a skillful and nippy defender and I think he is a welcome addition.
I'm positive about a lot of things, but giving someone like Richards 65k a week feels like a throwback to the MON years, or even the N'Zogbia/Given deals. Of course I'm happy we seem to be prepared to pay big wages again, I'd just prefer it if we offered that sort of money to players who don't spend most of the time on the treatment table.

I reckon it will be Messi next! Although Bosko will complain that it wasn't Ronalado!

He hasn't spent any time on the treatment table at Villa yet. So how about give him a chance.

You do realise I have to, right? I'm a Villa fan, of course I'll support the players when they put on our colours. Doesn't mean I can't/won't voice my disapproval with the signing!
