Never known a set of fans so obsessed with transfer activity.

I think people are obsessed with being successful again and the frustration of this season. The January window being what it is adds to that. I don't think we are any more obsessed about transfers than any other group.

I disagree, for donkeys years we've been obsessed with signings during the window, and since the onset of social media it's off the scale mentalness.

It's clear the club are working hard to get people in but it's not football manager, it's a complicated business. Tweeting the owner to pull his finger out is proper weird.

It's about time this club started to build properly, even as recently as the summer we spunked a load of cash on some very very average players. Why can't we for once trust Steve Bruce to identify who he wants, people that can help the club grow, and give the club the time and space to do that without hounding them every 5 mins

I would bet it's the same on any other teams fans forum and it's a symptom of the stupid scenario of having a transfer window and the theatricals Sky Sports like to brew up.

I think the dissatisfaction wroth the squad and envy of what others have drives the manic need for signings.  Add in the windows which have helped ruin football and it creates this frenzy. Other fans are similar though, it is not just a Villa thing.

To be honest I'm more concerned that we need new blood to avoid a late season relegation scrap from what I seen on Saturday.  We've still got to play the top 8.

I actually view that as a positive.  If we can things right we've still got to play most of the teams we need to catch.  If we can start beating those clubs the gap will close much easier.  This is reliant on us finding a way to play though.

Considering the division is only just past the halfway stage it's not surprising we have to play most of the top 8. And most of the bottom 8 as well. And the middle 8. Same as every other club in the division.

This is true.  We don't have to play ourselves though.  What do you reckon the score would be if we did?

0-0 obviously!

Although I did say most to cover that, and that we've already played Leeds twice.  :P

You did.  0-0 with zero shots on target for either side.

The universe would collapse under the weight of the irreconcilable contradiction between our inability to score and our inability to keep a clean sheet.

I think the Doc has just become tired of twitter. Like a lot of things on the internet you can easily suck the life out of it at the beginning and eventually become bored of it quite quickly....I used to love the Voyeur and MILF's section on xHamster but now I much prefer Femdom and Shemales.

Dad?

To clarify I'm talking about hnow our games against the big sides are clumped, we have 4 of the top 8 in 5 games from the middle of February for example, if we somehow find some form and go into those games with a bit of momentum it could change the picture massively and see us into the last 3rd of the season in a much more positive situation.  that's why the rest of the window and the first couple of games in Feb are so important.

We'd lose 3-0 wouldn't we? :p
