Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Toronto Villa]

I don’t think we will sign anyone. And if we do it won’t necessarily be someone that is that Gerrard wants. It’s that bad I can see us keeping the kitty for January for the new manager. Gerrard has not got anything close to the best out of the players we have and on paper at least we are much better than this. Right now it’s awful and no point throwing more money at it with him in charge.

We are likely going to start the season with 5 defeats from 6 games. I wonder if the club have just pulled the plug on supporting Gerrard any further in the market. I know I’m probably being cynical and paranoid.

It might kick the trotters up the arse

Sorry, but that is a shameful thing to say. We might not have an Aston Villa if it wasn't for them.

Why is it shameful? There is nothing wrong with trading. Look at Norwich, they take great pride in being self sufficient club.

I wouldn't say shameful, just stupid.

Well, it didn't get typed by you, so it can't be true or sensible can it oh great one

Most sensible thing you've said all afternoon.

You need to watch the god complex. Might not get your head in VP next tome you go

This is the drum I've been banging too. He can't get the best out of the players he currently has (*they have literally ALL got worse!), so no way I'd be throwing another penny his way. Get rid, get a replacement in, and save the cash for them in January, post World Cup.

My beliefs aren't inflated. Let's not have this detract though from you coming out with some really whacky stuff about our owners. Do you really believe it or is it just Internet polemics?

If its so stupid why would you need to explore it further? Yes, I do believe the publicly announced ambitions from the top, that haven't been backed up with the relevant funding to achieve this, has cost dean smith his job and looks like it will cost Gerrard his. I think it they'd had kept they big ambitions in house, we would be holding the current manager to a less and more achievable standard. Don't see how that warrants being labelled "stupid" or any of the other personal attacks I have received regarding but hey its H&V isn't it...the land freedom of speech unless its goes against the grain or the regular posters

[Steve67]

Can we go back and get Sarr please and play him and Bailey out wide either side. We carry no threat.

This is where I would go if I were manager.  However, I would also bring in another combative central midfielder to make sure we are more solid and able to press. 

Oh good god that's just as important. We need width, pace and physicality in the next 3 days.

Absolutely right Jim, but I think we all know it isn'g going to happen.

When we're spending a quarter of a billion net (net) and only bettered by the Champions League clubs (meaning those with the income streams that come with it) its hard to be generous. So yeah, stupid. I could and probably should say something more polite, but I have an emotional attachment to these owners. They're superb and they saved our club and they continue to pour hundreds of millions into it in fees and crucially wages. When you call them the Trotters it's sub-Small Heath, as even that mob are jealous and actually appreciate what they've done and what we've got with them.

[Holy Trinity]

Our disastrous start to the season and the fact a 1 eyed amoeba that has spent its entire life on the dark side or Mars can see Gerrad is on the way out there is absolutely zero chance we will sign anyone of the quality to improve us before the window shuts. The biggest alarm bell for me was Sarr pulling out.
We are in real trouble here as we have 2 confidence strikers with zero confidence and a manager who they don't trust. A system that would leave us overrun vs Luton Town and a defence that quite frankly I think I wouldn't look out of place in. Change is needed and the sooner the better, 0 points from the next 2 and IF we are very lucky 3 from the next 4 games. I honestly don't think my heart can take seeing us drop again.

Well said Ads. To have a go at these owners to any extent is incredibly disrespectful and ungrateful. To then refer to them as Trotters; fuck off was it about trading. It’s about calling them small timers and tramps you meet down at a market selling cheap knock off shit. These two are the furthest thing from that and without them we’d be where Derby are now and where Sunderland have been.

Well it’s just bollocks.

Agreed, both.

[eamonn]

Isn't every striker a confidence one and Luton Town are decent these days, no shame in losing to them if we meet in the cup.

As I’ve said that makes sense only if the club have decided to sack him. If that’s the case then sack him and move on - if that isn’t the case then they have to back him. You simply can’t have a half-way house in this stuff.
