Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Ignore as in not pay any attention or ignore as in not being able to see them as per my earlier screenshot link?

You cannot ignore ... posts made by a member of the mod/admin team.

You definitely can.

You can definitely ignore them (at your peril)...may lead to a ban though.

Haha. Sorry Legion just pulling your leg.

Naughty.

I've done the same . Though as I wasn't logged in I have seen these hurtful comments.
I wish people would be kinder here exactly why I refrained from donating for so long.
I'll have to stay logged in so the comments making fun of me can be ignored.

Mate, I thought some of the comments on here towards you have been absolutely out of order.  Don't let other people's lack of manners put you off posting/visiting.

Same here, there really is no need.

Completely agree. Petty and unnecessary in the extreme.

In your opinion.

Re GK, was chatting to an Arsenal supporting mate, he reckons Martinez is marginally better than Leno, though both excellent keepers.

He thinks either is more than adequate for them with Matt Macey as back-up. They are also looking to spend big on one or two signings - he mentioned an athletic DCM. So I think if Villa match the valuation Arsenal have then Martinez looks a real possibility.

Assuming a fee of c.£20m based on appearances and given the value of having the best keeper you can afford - to have a quality player for the next 5-6 years and still have some resale value looks a very good deal.

With Heaton returning and given the positive impact he had on the side, it was not a position I thought was a priority - other than moving on a couple of GKs to reduce the wage bill, but the more I consider it, the more I think signing Martinez would be great - and a real sign of intent.

Not interested in Yanited's third choice keeper on stupid money.

Ake just cost Man City £41m. He’s better than Konsa but not by a wide margin. Based on that value Konsa is now easily £25m as a starting CB in the PL.

Althouth he's only 22 - a relative baby in centre-half terms - I'm expecting a big season from Konsa, he has all the attributes required to be a top, top defender.  People also forget that despite being very young, he's actually quite experienced, given he was playing first team football at 18 for Charlton.  He's got more career first-team appearances than Tyrone!

Wow, great stat! Something I'd expect to have been flagged by now by one of the statto's-  Skillz, PWS or the Eigentor etc.

Fairly obviously 'in my opinion', yes, since it's a discussion board. I'm not sure why you would think it was anything else or why I would need to preface it with 'in my opinion'. I would have thought the 'completely agree' would have done that job for you.

Thank you for clarifying that. It has really helped me to understand better.

I was just curious why you go out of your way to defend the indefensible, no matter what. All the time.

But anyway, as you said, 'it's a discussion board'.

[dave.woodhall]

I would hardly say that support for a poster is "defending the indefensible".

[Axl Rose]

I suppose it depends how irritating one finds the poster, but I understand your point.

Apologies, I'll shut up and behave.

[Alex77]

I think a lot of people, including the more experienced posters, should really take time to read this and have a think if it relates to them and their posting style;

''Defend the indefensible'? Christ. Anyone would think I was advocating a capital crime rather than agreeing with four other posters that I disagreed with some comments made to Vill I An.

As to why I stick up for Vill I An when I think it's warranted, that's a discussion that has been had elsewhere and I don't think belongs here (that isn't a dig by the way, honestly, others will understand).

Have there been any whispers murmurs about some of our fringe players leaving?
Kalinic and Lansbury spring to mind. I do know there was an article saying we'd consider letting some players leave.

[N'ZMAV]

Thought I'd clicked on VillaTalk for a moment there....

I don’t think that will happen until the domestic transfer window extension in early Oct.
