lovejoy

anyone else think he looked like he had a turn of pace about him?

Neither would I. The animosity towards him yesterday was really surprising. He's lost the spine of the team (not his fault) but failed to even begin replacing it (entirely his fault). Yesterday was a performance straight out of the O'Leary era. Absolutely and utterly lacking in art, in skill and in cohesion. honestly?? villa appear, to me, to be such a well run outfit. young, predominiantly english players, with plenty of pace and a real hunger. considering where you came from, he has done an outsanding job imo. the animosity surprises me. but then again, i dont watch you every week. it could be 'scott parker/kevin nolan' syndrome on my part.

clever lad.

Who says we should sell them and bring nobody in? Nobody wants to continue to sell players with no intention to bring in replacements. where do i say they do? look at the evidence so far of exits and aquisitions. do people HONESTLY believe that ashley will fund a re-build?

Caçapa? sorry, i shoul dhave said and old DECENT head. cacapa and ronnie johnson dont quite fit that bill.

are people fucking retarded? are are they going to start realising that we are seeling an awful lot of players and getting fuck all in? the money is an awful lot of bollocks as well, because fuck all of it will be seen in terms of replacement purchases. collocini was good yesterday, and whilst the likes of him, duff, taylor were no great shakes in the prem, we are not there anymore, and they would be very adequate in the league we are in, so selling them, and bringning nobody in, is a fucking travesty, and we're fucked if it keeps happening. what exactly is there to celebrate here?

as ive already said, we have never had an old head that the younger players could learn from. would bring taylor on leaps and bounds. just a shame it would appear he will be his replacement.

Campbell would be a huge signing IMO, we have never had a centre half that our younger players could learn from. Taylor, presuming he stays, and him would be a great partnership in this league.

no more of this tashy ponce's predictions. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8197263.stm

never did it for us, never. i honestly dont think i saw him go past anyone in his time here, and im not taking the piss there. and £4m is not far short of what we paid for him and he has declined massivley (reputation wise) since we bought him. however, he would have done well in this league imo, and we simply cant keep selling everyone and brining nobody in. we need somebody new down both sides now, as well as two new centr halves, a left back and a goalscoring centre forward. thats 6 more players. we dont stand a fucking chance of getting them in imo. one positive is susppose is we still look very strong (for this league) in central midfield. (all of the above presuming colo, taylor, jonas go, whcih they will).

He's away. Question is, if colo goes, which he will, have we even got a centre half left?

taylor is best mates with nugent tbf

for fucks sake man. are we going to have anyone left??? as with taylor, i dont hink he's a world beater, but he'd be good in this division, and we need players ffs.

brief update please. cant be arsed reading through the last 20 pages or so.

Livermore signed for Derby about week ago didn't he? apparently so, unless the chron thinks roeder is still here and he's still scouting him? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11696_5482881,00.html

Livermore signed for Derby about week ago didn't he? not sure, would sound about right for the chron if he did though.

jake livermore from spuds another one linked int he chron, as well as williamson

good signing that. thank fuck.

Pompey boss reckons they signed viduka last month, and havnt seen or heard from him since???

Bad bad news if he goes, will be key this season.

i rate brummie's opinion tbf, and fuck me he hates o'leary. let us pray for another long out of work, rotten on the shelf manager instead of him imo.

yep, noticed that. needs to do it more often. its when he tries to play that he gets caught out, because he's just too slow imo.

dont think it will be now. fully expect him to announce he is keeping it. 'lets move forward together', and appoint o'leary
