You might want to consider adjusting your profile settings on Twitter. I only need your inside leg measurement and I would be able to take out a mortgage in your name.

Don't do it to yourself lad. We'll turn you to shit.

Or fans like you will.

LukeJames commented very similar to me under my post. Why not quote his?...

I'd love to have been in the trenches with you!

Nothing against you, but Clampy and a few others on here comment on everything I post. I post about support after games as it's a big part of the game and the matchday and it's like crime of the century.

Maybe if you wasn't so bloody repetitive, people wouldn't pick on your posts.

Sorry bab

He's a good-looking fella too, we've been an ugly lot since Lauren and Mellberg left.

Ahah. So it is you who is the alter-ego of footyskillz then ! PS I think he is ugly and well suited to join ugly SB's C&B Army.
and neither his beard, nor his hair is anywhere near good enough now Lansbury has set the new standard.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

He's coming.  He Just said that when a big club with a manager like Steve Bruce comes looking for you it turns your head.

Yes this was pretty much a " Steve Bruce likes me and now I have added £5k per week to my wage demands....so pay up "

I hope we are haggling over a few hundred thousand. We'd be stupid not to.

Still feel the same?

He may still come but if we really wanted him I wish we had done it last week.  We may also have been two points better off.

So you are suggesting that just because he scored today we should have just emptied our wallet? That's not really how it works is it. The fact that we are after him is because of stuff like today. It's not like he elevated himself that much higher than what our scouts would have already identified. And while he looks a very good prospect frankly most of us hadn't even heard of him 10 days ago.

Dunno TV, he's been one of the best players in this division all season so think he's been on a lot of wanted lists for a while. I also think the prove went up 500k for anyone today.  With rumours Sheffield Wednesday have offered 2.5m, i think we may have to pay similar to what we did for Lansbury.  It wold be well worth it.

Fee was agreed according to Yorkshire Post - Double deal with their defender complicating matters. Should be done early next week.

[TheMalandro]

Sorry quote fail too, didn't mean to quote at all, sorry ozzim

[ozzjim]

Their manager said no fee has been agreed after the game today though.

Yes.

We may ave won. Or still drawn. Or we may have lost. We'll never know.

I do know though that we should try and save money on every transfer if possible, even if we're prepared to pay the asking price. It's just basic common sense, something we as a club have been lacking in for far too long.

[Matt Collins]

You do still get the sense on here that many villa fans' attitude is "pay whatever it takes" and "it's not my money"

Which after the Lerner years is fairly extraordinary

[villabear]

Some goal of his yesterday. We'll soon knock that out of him 😀

The club should be looking to get the best deal it can. Sometimes the best deal might be paying a little bit more, sometimes not.

Hourihane is a good player going for a song in comparison to some of the fees swirling about. It's worth flexing your muscle to take Sheffield Wednesday put of the equation who cannot perhaps afford a 5 million four year deal.
