Summer transfer madness thread

[SoccerHQ]

One of the reasons that I fancy doing more games this season is the vast reduction in arseholes like John Terry that you encounter in the Championship (well, it's not going to be the football is it?).

Along with the lack of wankers in the stands, you know, half scarfers, tourists,"fans" of the EPL and general soulless, empty hearted glory hunters, the fact that you don't have to watch the likes of Rooney getting away with murder every week, or Arsenal players strutting around like peacocks while doe-eyed officials run after them just waiting to award a free kick and issue a caution to the horrible Villa player.

If we did sign the likes John Terry, complete with barrel of poison destined for our dressing room, I will think twice.

It's funny but I actually think there's just as much time wasting and cheating that goes on in the championship (look at the amount of games that have 5-6 minutes added on due to time wasting) but as you say the players are more low profile.

Forest right at the start of the season were one of the worst teams I've ever seen for disrupting the game, they had a player going down injured every 3 minutes with that dreadlocked guy who got sent off for going into the crowd chief instigator.

I thought that we'd sold Sanchez, but according to the retained players list, we haven't! WTF???

Will go through on July 1st.

Apparently we earned £6.9m in prize and TV money from Division 2 last season. Plus the £40.9m parachute payment.

John Terry is a thoroughly loathsome human being.

But f**k me, are we really going to complain about having his type of attitude in the dressing room. We've been moaning on this site for years about the lack of fight, spirit and general apathy shown by players In Villa shirts. Surely the likes of John Terry wouldn't stand for that. comparing him to that also ran Micah Richards is frankly ludicrous.

It's never gonna happen though.

Bloody hell. Promotion really is a requirement. Thats not much.

Seems that SHA have signed a decent goalkeeper on a free. Have to ask the question, why the fek didn't we???

[PeterWithesShin]

Because we already have enough mediocre keepers?

Who have they signed?

[PeterWithesShin]

Stockdale, the Brighton keeper that literally let the title slip by him at VP.

The player who seemed responsible for every goal Brighton conceded last year.

Utter shite.

All this talk of coaching is fine but if we don't have the players there then we have to look at getting players in. That we are looking at loanees is more indicative of the ruinous state of the Academy; it also highlights what is needed to get out of this division.

Can't believe we've missed out on Benni McCarthy again. Apparently he's going to be the new Cape Town City head coach.

Carlton Palmer and Steve Bull better be waiting by their phones methinks.

What would we do with a coach other than travel to away games.

[Hoppo]

Stockdale makes one cock up and suddenly all the 'know it alls' think he is shit. Very good keeper at this level.

33 million next season and 14 million in season 3.

Next season is one of the biggest in our history
