I couldn't give a shit about Blues. I don't go on Twitter, but it's clearly becoming more and more a standard way of communicating. Frankly Dr Xia has pretty much backed up what he has said he would do in tweets and that's all that matters. You mention Blues, but would you be laughing at them if their owner tweeted like ours about bringing in players and then actually did it? I doubt it.


Edit. No, I'm not getting into a row

To be fair, he tweets better in English than I could in Mandarin.

I'm trying to imagine how mad things behind the scenes must be right now. We all know we want new faces in and we must be juggling several balls in the air on that side.

But the fact four of the biggest blood suckers Richards, Lescott, Hutton and Gabby are still on the books and being paid VAST sums must be crippling. I don't think any of them are likely to be actively trying to secure a move via their agents and it must be draining for the owner/board having to deal with that shit as well as the much needed incoming's

Fuck off the four of you. Show some ambition/respect and get your careers back on track somewhere. It's like the Bennett nonsense where he wanted us to pay some of his wages to move on with his career. Get fucked

If it was Blues I'd be a bit concerned that they'd spent £40 million with the promise of at least £20 million more.

How is Hutton a blood sucker?

He's shit but he's hardly in the Lescott Richards bracket

Not quite in the bracket of the other two mentioned, but in the five seasons he has been at the club he must have earnt millions all while contributing very little really.

Dr. Tony Xia ‏@Dr_TonyXia  2m
We're working hard 2bring new players, but I think there're something more important need 2be solved too. Takes time 2get all right ppl.#UTV

Surely all he's referring to is the technical side of the development given that he was meeting the new Technical Director?

I've never been much of a one for Twitter but been on more than ever due to our Tone's Tweets. I've also followed some utter shite Villa groups and had to delete the lot of them. Our Tony can tweet some shite, but not anywhere near as shite as some of our fan sites.

A bit of the top. That's just what happens in Twitter, because there is a finite number of characters to get a message across.

Are you not allowed to send more than one message?

Yes, but I'm guessing he's trying to get his message across as succinctly as possible. Also given that English isn't his first language it seems a bit harsh to criticise him when the meaning behind the tweet is absolutely fine.

You can get software that will split your tweets and mark them as 1/3, etc.  The problem is it's very easy for people to post 1 of those out of context and make it look shit.  Sticking to the limit works better but means things are open to interpretation.

Personally, I'd think that anybody who wrote something like "takes time 2get all right ppl" was a bit of a numpty regardless of who they were.
