A loan signing that didn't work out. It's hardly the end of the world.

Nobody claimed it was the end of the world just that it was yet again another shite signing by the Villa.

And people are going on about it like shite signings are somehow an Aston Villa thing, and that no other club does it. Which couldn't be further from the truth.
I think this is one of the things we excell at. This is why we are bottom of the 92 team league.

Bottom of what 92 team league?

How any one can suggest that a huge part of the problem is not because of the players that have been playing for the first X1 is mind bogging lay crazy. Only Jack Grealish is a regular that did not get signed.
We have the worst them in the League made up of players we signed, it's that simple.

Has anyone suggested that the players are not a part of the problem?

It could be that he does not want to sign for us if we are relegated.  If so, no point in continuing with the loan.  Alternatively, we see £7m as being to high a price going into the Championship.

Clearly, injuries have had a big impact on this loan and he has not been able to get any continuity in playing.

The loan looked a good idea at the time but circumstances have changed and injuries couldn't have been predicted.

Haha...If you remove the divisions and make a table of 92 we are bottom because of only 8 points. However with 5 games in hand over Yeovil who only have 14 from 24 we are in with a shout of being the second worst!

Bottom over 2015 across all 4 leagues and worst points toll in a year of any Villa team except a year when we only played 28 games.
These records just keep on comming, and we have another half season and a brand new year to set some more.Hip Hip

Yes because it works like that, and we are in one league. You can literally make stats out of anything and any circumstance if you want to be miserable enough. I mean why limit it to the 92 clubs and go to Europe and include South Anerican clubs too. I bet we are super duper extra shit.

That would mean research, I got all these stats off this site.

I wouldn't say making a league out of all the English sides is stretching it that much. And managing to finish bottom of that league is a special kind of shit. 2015 is arguably the worst year in the history of Aston Villa.

Of course it isn't. A league of leagues is pretty straightforward and if Blues or Albion were at the bottom we'd all be having a good laugh at their expense.

it's nonsense because not every club plays each other. Or are you saying that if we did play every club in this hypothetical 92 team league we'd be bottom? Because, and just my opinion, that would be the most nonsensical thing ever considered on here and we've had some doozies.

It highlights how relentlessly shit our results have been. Someone pin it to Tom Fox's forehead.

It's not nonsense at all to have a list of wins, draws and losses of all the teams in the English league and assemble them into a "league" so you can look at comparative performance. Of course it is only symbolic, of course it doesn't mean we're a weaker team than someone like Aldershot, the combined squad value of whom would probably be less than one of Villa's ball boys. It's a symbolic league but it effectively illustrates how literally shit we are.

You think we could beat Aldershot? Steady on now. ;)
