Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[villadom]

The transfer window opened at midnight on the last day of the season. According to the premier league rules:

1. “Transfer Windows” means the 2 periods in a year during which, subject to
Rule M.4, a Club may apply for the New Registration of a player or to have the
registration of a player transferred to it or for a Temporary Transfer.

2. The first Transfer Window in any year shall commence at midnight on the last day
of the Season and shall end on 31st August next if a Working Day or, if not, on
the first Working Day thereafter, at a time to be determined by the Board.

The thing about July 1st is that all contracts end on Jun 30th so players at the end of their contracts are transferred then.

As contracts run out on June 1st that must be the time when most transfers start.

My worry at the moment is that we are coming to the business end of the decade and we've won nothing yet. By my reckoning that has only happened in one previous decade; the 1930's. It's bad enough that Villa won nowt. But even worse is that it caused a world war. It's a very bad omen.

I'm also worried by my cognitive dissonance.

[peter w]

Mind you. Its better than what happens when we won something in a year ending in 1, we end up going down later in the decade.

Still no news on the transfer front, although the BBC gossip has news of Villa interested in lots of players. I am still confident that Villa are keeping a couple of big signings close to their chest and we will be pleasantly surprised. Well I hope so anyway.  8-[

I'm getting worried that all my earlier predictions are not going to succeed and we will not sign anyone next week and this site will implode with angry posters demanding change. We sometimes recognise the fact that in General we are a bunch of moaners but geez sometimes we have just cause.

[Hillbilly]

I'm worried that the moaning will get so out of hand that General Chuck will adopt my Mom's approach- "I'll give you something to moan about" followed by a swift clip round the lug. Except the General may have a bit more firepower at his disposal than my Mom.

[Bigmelonface]

I hate this thread!

[peter w]

Well go away then and leave us worriers be.

[ROBBO]

I am worried now, all our focus is on a midfielder who's own fans booed him last year and a lot on here are treating him as though he was vital to our success. Surely MON has other players coming in so where are they, okay NRC is taking a long time but does that mean we can't buy anyone else until he signs? I along with others expected top signings this summer, I don't call NRC a top signing, have we all been too optimistic are we going down the Doug route again, what's stopping us, who is the weakest link?

MON's been on his hols; RL's back in town; there's presumably (big word) been loads of activity behind the scenes, particularly since we've moved some of the guys out ....

....it's all cool (I think!).

[ROBBO]

I love someone who finishes all their positives with a negative.Can i rephrase that if your female I love you if your male i respect you.

[peter w]

Robbo, you're getting stranger and stranger.. I'm worried about your mental state. Have to admit I'm not concerned by our lack of activity in the transfer market.

Everybody gets excited by transfers and seeing Villa sign players. Whoever they are. Now that we are in the period of the year when transfers happen in abundance, and when we know we will be signing players, we want to do it quickly. More for our own levels of excitement.

[r1chie_r1ch]

You just watch, there will be a nice press conference soon and at least 6 new players will be unvieled in our new kit.

Or was that a dream i had. Ive been having trouble distinguishing reality with all the drugs i've been taking to get me through the closed season. 8-[

[peter w]

Well the drugs do work then. Let the other Richie know.
