Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[kippaxvilla2]

He says in part of that interview that Southampton never made an offer and he didn't want to be third choice.  That tells me he wants to play football, I think that is quite refreshing.  He will want to win as well I would imagine.  Heaven forbid we sign players with that sort of attitude, we will have to tell the unions about this.

[Gregorys Boy]

Well he's not even through the door and already he has spoke out of turn (maybe? ) yeah that sounds like our football alright!

Good luck to him we are looking very thread bare in midfield and I hope that he can add some goals and set up some for others, but we still need a few more signings before we look set.

we're a bottom six premier league side. we've been stuck there for the last 4 seasons (nearly 5).

i don't want to be signing a player who is happy to settle for that level of shite.

No, but will do want a player who is up for the fight, before we can look up we have to do the tough stuff down at the bottom first.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

Whether it was lost in translation or not, it isn't what you want to hear from a new signing.

Yet another pr disaster.

I wonder if you'd be good enough to let us know when the club does something, anything at all, that you don't consider a disgracefully embarrassing and shambolic disaster?  That goes for certain other posters too...

"PR disaster" - jesus christ.

Have we started blaming Micah Richards yet for whatever it is people are unhappy about now?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, CHRIS

You're only posting here because you see it as a stepping stone to VillaSquawk.

What a disaster.

If there's one man who's PR was spot on, it's the big JC.

[PaulWinch again]

PR disaster? I think we're becoming a little sensitive. If a player came in and said I've joined Villa, because they finished 4th bottom and that's about my level I'm sure people wouldn't be happy. I don't think what he's said is anything to get upset over.

Although, as he said on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? We're sleepwalking into oblivion, with yet another PR disaster".

Followed by some pithy stuff about finally finding someone good at crosses at the club etc etc

[Richard E]

I appreciate that it is Monday so I might be a bit slow on the uptake but am I missing what was wrong with what he said?

[Bottom Right 89]

I don't see anything wrong in what he says. If you are a foreign player with ambition you should be looking to get some Premier League experience at a club like Villa, make a name for yourself and then move on after a couple of years. Unfortunately this is the place we find ourselves in until we can get ourselves back into the top 6 on a regular basis. From what I've seen and read this guy looks like a better version of Delph so we've done well to persuade him to join.

Exactly, Tom Fox needs to stop fannying about and bring in Jesus's PR team immediately. Course, knowing Villa he'll try and save a few quid and we'll end up with Judas Iscariot's people instead. It's bound to be a disaster. ("And the Lord spake and He said, "How far we have fallen..."")
