As for Taylor, thank Christ, but any other club would never have let his contract run down so close to a year when the player was begging for a new deal. Amateurs.

The obsession borderlines Gary Glitter territory at times.

Thought we'd signed a player there. Dave you cocktease, twice in a day.

What's you take on Modric then? This close to getting him and offered more money. Does that still count as standing about doing fuck all? KK didn't get involved, its a damn shame because i think he could have swung the player and the player decide his own future. Instead he just went with the moneymen. But the rest of it i've got no problem with, i was excited we were moving early especially after winter knock backs, but that was it, it wasn't the rule it was the exception. How do you know all that? Quotes from him at the time suggested he wasn't there. Suggested? Fair enough. What about it being the exception rather than the rule? How do you know that? Where are all the other concrete bids?

Martin Jol posted an article about the Modric transfer which stated that Keegan did meet Modric anf his advisers and tried to sell the club to him. See the Modric thread. Now i'm supposed to believe that. Unbelievable. mackems.gif

I agree, but I thought you said they won't give a fuck about all that? Money is the only reason they'd come here you said. I'm not sure on this deadline, sounds to me like they've got a bid they are going to accept but are trying to whip up interest to try get someone to trump it. Money is going to be what swings it, he's not going to be bothered about the future, he wants to know what he's going to get now, what he's going to get for not playing in Europe. But we've still got to roll out the carpet and make him feel special, we need our manager perusing him, showing him about and trying to get him in to the club. Probably (about deadline) which means we need to bid if it isn't us, and we need KK back for when the bid is accepted and the player starts talking.

Anyway, hang on a minute here. Are you suggesting we're not very attractive to these players, and that we'll struggle to get them without paying extortionate wages? Because if so, why the complaining that nowt's happened? So lets make it harder by having our manager miles away from the action. We need every advantage we can get this summer, people will start to realise this when we miss out on the players we hoped would turn us around. There is no 'action'. They're all on holiday or at Euro 2008. My point is if you think we've got little or no chance on these players, you won't be complaining if they go elsewhere? I doubt it. Depends on if we've stood about doing fuk all as we have done since Ashley arrived, then yes i will have a problem. If we miss out but went for it then really there's nothing but being gutted about it unless KK didn't bother to turn up to negotiations or is still on holiday when the player's deadline passes.

Like i said before, we've got to role out the carpet, and we are going to have to mark up in wages. We've got to make him think we want him more than anyone else. 3 days away to the dealine set by his club and KK's on holiday.

I'd hope we use more than purely wages as a tool when bargaining like. Like showing them the facilities, the potential, the future. Get Keegan to sell them the club and the area. Don't just throw money at them. Looks like he's definitely available then anyway. As per Arda; if we wanted him and we don't get him due to fucking around then I'll not be pleased. Is he really going to give a fuk about the potential of the club being 27? Throw money at him, only way he's coming here.

Shiteam is that you ?? Remind me who has finished above us over the past two seasons? Oh yeah, villa! A Whole two seasons ! Fantastic ! Villa have a far more promising future than us. Do they shite. Right now they do. They have the much better squad, a stable manager, are in momentum and regaining lost respect in the footballing world. And about to lose their best player. And? Villa will still finish ahead of us without Barry and be near £20m richer or have Bentley and Sidwell and take another leap away from us.

M: 'I'm going to say something obvious, just reply with a short answer' L: 'Yep' M: 'And and his subs are used, he's got nothing left' L: 'Yep' M: 'If he goes off, they are down to 9' L: 'Correct' M: 'That well well over the bar' L: 'Skied' M: 'That's a foul!' L: 'Certainly'

Shirley Podolski? Yeah i meant that.

Toon fans, mackems, Cockneys, mancs, Christians, Jews, Muslims, men, Children and woman can all unite in the great game of life called... Hating the shit out of Motson & Lawro.

What the fuk is wrong with the Bayern attackers this tournament? Klose the only one who cant get a game has been the star, if you can call it that.

Yep, but instead the just surrendered.

They have been total dogshit for about a decade, fans, ambition, players, league position, but the new owner has come in, got a great manager, took a chance and really has turned the club around. Well done to him, wish Ashley could do the same here. Actually, it was their previous chairman, who all Villa fans hate, that got O'neill in. The club was being bought by Lerner at the time, negotiations were going on for several months IIRC, MON came in, official takeover complete a week later.

Bye France. Bottling cunts.

No he really does not. Just likes to bleat on about how good his club are at the moment. It's one bloody season. I think he's a very fair and balanced poster tbh, and I know for a fact that many agree with me. His team is on the up for the first time in ages, if I was a Villa fan I'd be feeling pretty good too. Some like to moan at any non-NUFC supporters on here though I suppose. Just the major twats and Brummie certainly isn't one of them, nowhere near. Can't understand your view on him Afar tbh. Top poster, maybe you've got the wrong end of the stick somewhere.
