January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[dave.woodhall]

That whole organisation needs setting fire to.

Google Aston Villa and click on news and 7 of the 10 results on the first page are their rubbish. The same article, slightly adjusted, rotated between all their different bloody sites. Two of the other three that aren't them are Football Fancast and Caught Offside, two equally disgusting sources of crap.

Birmingham World and Newcastle World keep cropping up now too. I suspect they might be part of the group or even worse, a copy cat lot.

Birmingham World is basically a listings site that regurgitates press releases. There's no original content.

[Steve67]

Compare them to the Express and Star who seem to have genuinely interesting and well written articles.

Agreed. That is all I ever click on.

[eamonn]

E&S has proper writers on the club like Matt Maher and don't have pop-ups an ads plastered all over their pages.

There is erm… some original content. I’ve been interviewed by them and written two articles for them.

I wasn’t happy with the interview. When I do them I re-write what people say to make them sound clever. They didn’t 😡

My apologies. Every time I've looked at it they've just featured a load of syndicated stuff and PRs.

No worries mate, you’re mostly right and it is a lot of that, as well as lots of Birmingham crime stuff similar to the Birmz is Grime blog. Four staff including the editor who used to work at the Birmingham Post.

I keep seeing Zaha being a target for us in January. That would be fantastic, he’s a pain in the arse player to play against, also he’s bloody excellent. That would be great first signing for Emery.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s very good but he’s 30, likely on very decent money and Mings hates him.

[N'ZMAV]

Zaha is a moaning prick - his end product has improved though. He'd want billy big bollock wages though. Nah.

[Sexual Ealing]

He's a fantastic player, and I enjoyed him conducting the crowd at VP when he was getting stick from all 40k.

[Aldridge Villa]

Zaha no thanks. Unsavoury character, not suited to the traditions of AVFC.

lazy journalism. emery wanted to sign zaha when he was at arsenal, but the club opted to buy nicolas pepe instead.

[olaftab]

What tradition are you referring to to? Hopefully not the tradition  since 1996 of not winning any trophies! But I do think he's a bit of a twat and a little too old for us now.

[pablo_picasso]

Zaha, half the Villarreal squad, Douglas Luiz ‘still’ being stolen by Liverpool, Arsenal & Newcastle & now apparently Chelsea want Bailey. Links to the whole Rangers squad, their reserves, half their youth team & several Rangers players WAGS have now stopped though. “Journalism” not even fit for toilet paper. It will all get worse while the World Cup is on.

[cdbearsfan]

Zaha would be brilliant. Him and Martinez together and we would be World Shithousing Champions.
