Re: Takeover thread. What will happen now. ?

[Guest]

First time I have seen Grealish in the flesh, he was very good, an elusive player, he seemed to show the opposition the ball only to move it at the last moment , he will win us a lot of free kicks !
He should be in against Hull, I thought Sanchez, Hutton, Senderos & Baker did ok too !
Before I get shot down , I apologise if one of these were at fault for the goal , I could not see from the Holte who fcuked up !

agree with everything you've said villabill, apart from baker, hes a liability and had 3 point blank headers that didn't even go close

[TheLeftSide]

I thought Cole looked OK considering he's overwight and with zero pre-season. But he can't be relied upon.

Grealish and Sanchez both played well IMO Hutton and Senderos also. One thing which pissed me off was the fans screaming at Sanchez to shoot - fucks sake, he's a defensive midfielder, who can't cross and has suspect passing, no fucking way will he be shooting from 30 bloody yards!

I thought the same as well. My daughter said to me why are they booing him, which then made me think I wonder if he knows the fans are saying shoot bearing in mind he doesnt speak English (unless I'm mistaken) or would he also be thinking he's being booed?? Can imagine him running around thinking WTF have I done to deserve this

exactly what I thought mate, it does sound like booing

[TheLeftSide]

She also said to me though why are the fans calling the players bent, I had to explain it was darren bent, that was a wide open eye conversation which I was left thinking how do I approach that

[kimbo]

Someone by me asked why he was getting booed as well!

My missus asked me the same thing. Only difference is she's 22! In her defence she only regularly started going to footy matches last season and got her first season ticket for the Villa this year after moving from London

fair play matey, have you told her to expect a rollercoaster ride being a villa fan!

I think she realised that quite quickly last season. But she's half Italian and emotional so it's a good opportunity for her to vent her spleen without me catching grief! I know when she's pissed off as she starts ranting and swearing in Italian

Not much takeover talk on here. Wonder why...

The club implemented a shrewd plan to distract from the impending takeover by being embarrassed by a league 1 side....

What's the reaction to last nights game in the non takeover thread mate? Presumably even more depressed?

[My Old Man]

On a brighter note, i thought Sanchez looked a cut above the rest last night. Think the club should start stocking up on those Sanchez wigs! 8)

defo mate, he looked quality and just what we need protecting the back four, his passing is slick as fock!

[villabromsgrove]

It's hard to be optimistic after that shambles last night. I've just had some "we go again tablets" but they evidently don't work for Villa fans anymore, unless they're taken with a Takeover.

Don't worry the spies are out watching Lerner's plane and Usmanov's yacht for any more coincidental meetings?

To right, lets hope he stays fit.

A bit of a moan now lol, but can anyone tell me the sense behind playing Cole near to Bent when his experience would of been more productive sitting deeper, and with Grealish in that more forward position?

For two guys that were quality midfielders, you would think that Keane and Lambert would have sorted ours out by now. Its our major problem and has been for quite a while and i am beginning to see that the underlying reason for it is the stupid system he is trying to play.

Usmanov won't be buying villa. It will be a US owner in my opinion. Doesn't mean the Usmanov stuff wasn't fun though. Great detective work all round

When Cole signed I think he said that he was looking forward to playing the number 10 role. Perhaps Lambert promised him that?

If Cleverley is signed for the price that is being thrown around on Twitter (not reliable, I know), around £7-8 million, that'd suggest there's more funding available unless we're selling Vlaar or it's a part exchange. Optimistic conclusion from this would be it's funding from a new owner

[My Old Man]

More than likely VB, but i just felt last night his experience was more important lying a little deeper. I think we would of created a little more if he did that.

It may well be a US owner, but I can't see it happening until next summer . The usmanov detective work was brilliant, Yachts tracked planes tracked, google maps of docks, maps showing distances, MI5 have got fuck all on this site. The best work since the restaurant phone call in New York
