brummie

Also, he was spotted arriving at BHX the other day looking like a proper fucking rude boy in his pork pie hat

Although....

Fuck, I hope so.

"I'm proving that there still is loyalty in football" he says, with his 8m release clause. God, what a c***. Darren Bent Karma.... Not really. For a start, you didn't have to accept the huge amount of money we offered you for Bent, but you did. We had to accept it, as he had a release clause.

"I'm proving that there still is loyalty in football" he says, with his 8m release clause. God, what a cunt.

But it's City, so why would it have to be a low clause? This is horrible. He will never play there, especially as they hardly paid anything for him. brummie from your point of view he isn't really that fantastic. Hopefully you guys get someone decent in. The guy must be crazy agreeing to move there. It is so he would still get a move. If it had been 25m, it would have been different, but this is clearly a deal to stay to the end of the season and get us our money back (we paid 8m for him in the first place). Treated like fucking idiots. It's not about him wanting to go there - I don't blame him for a second. It is the snidey way the club did this, the way they promoted it. Oh and they stuck him in the middle of all the club kit promos. And - and this is true - five whole minutes ago tweeted this: http://i.imgur.com/xuZ9tRB.jpg We are so awfully run, at every single level

This was a few months ago: And to make sure they got the most out of it, Villa showed him on the screens at the ground saying all the above. Yet the whole time he had a release clause quite clearly just guaranteed to make sure we didn't end up with no money for him. Really shot themselves in the foot here, so clear they're a bunch of duplicitious wankers.

Delph to Citeh for 8m. Which means the whole new contract thing was just to make sure we got some cash for him, with a clause so low, so he could get a move. When he signed, the club made a massive deal of it, milked the publicity, got him to say how he was never going to leave, it was his club etc etc. All the time, this must have been the plan, hence that clause for that price. Treated like fucking idiots by the club AND by Delph. What a fucking rat. Worse than Downing.

Think people are forgetting Lallana and Lovren pulled similar stunts to join Liverpool, then Rodgers went in the press criticizing Southampton for selling their best players and showing a lack of ambition Sterling is a bit of a tit but the media are only kicking up a fuss about this because he doesn't want to play for the mighty Liverpool. Agree with all that, too. The entire sport is driven by self-interest. Liverpool get the hump about Sterling. We get the hump about Liverpool with Benteke. Whoever we buy from gets the hump about us. All along the lines, football managers, players and agents are engaging in gross acts of hypocrisy to get what they want.

He is most certainly NOT going to start ahead of Butty. He will sit on their bench. And you know exactly why he'll choose to sit on their bench over start for Boro. He's not good enough any more to be a starter in the top flight. Nowhere near, as we discovered at the end of the season. Good bloke, top pro etc, but his days have been and gone. Whoever it was at Villa who thought giving a 35 year old keeper a five year contract on one of the highest wages at the club was a good idea needs to be dropped off a fucking cliff. That's the sort of thing that explains the world of financial shit we've just about managed to crawl out of.

Clearly, if that turns out to happen, it'll be because Delph came to an agreement with us that he'd sign a new deal to make sure he didn't leave for nothing, but at a release price which meant he'd easily get a move. That'd be massively disappointing given the "this is my club" stuff he gave it after signing, mind. Which is what makes me think it is bollocks. That and the fact this has come from an article by James Nursey.

John Percy in the Torygraph (normally spot on on stuff about us) reckons we've got an offer in for Dennis Praet at Anderlecht. 7m. We must surely be getting taken over. Gueye was here talking about a 9m move. That means either the takeover is close to completion and they've OK'ed it, or we're selling Delph.

Excellent. i do a big "we are tightarses" rant and we buy someone. I can only think, though, that we are selling someone. I'll put my money on it being Fabian Delph. EDIT actually, this could be the money we were going to spend on Tom Cleverley until he fucked us off for Everton.

If we were a character from a television comedy, we'd be like Big Keith from The Office. Flabby, out of shape, given up, trudging in at 9, trudging out again at 5, sank into a routine that will probably be there for years to come, living with our moms, smelling of sweat a bit, putting a brave face on it but probably crying when, alone at night, we ejaculate into a sock prior to falling asleep and doing the whole thing again the next day. Shuddering every time we see one of the hopeless case fat, unattractive, thick kids we knew at school drive past us in their new top of the range Beemer or Audi, while we're waiting for the fucking bus in the morning.

It's like there's a new sub-league in the premier league. There's the CL clubs, the CL place contenders, the Thursday Night Channel 5 avoiders, the "this is the best we've ever done" mid table sludge, the "fuck me, we're playing in the big league" recent promotees. Then there's us and you. The stinking the place out, unambitious guff clubs.

An almost nice effort from Macron for us, for once. I don't give a toss about replica shirts, too old for that shit, but I do object to us having gone from Nike to fucking Macron, clothiers of the championship and League One. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8p4-0sUfyeg/VZQEuMmlkII/AAAAAAAAmc4/dxz58v6m-cs/s550/aston-villa-15-16-home-kit-1.jpg

Because it is to these clubs, unfortunately we act like the TV deal never happened. If it makes you feel better - it won't, mind - we are acting like the tv money has reverted back to 1985 levels.

Given that we're in a six week exclusive due diligence period with some potential buyer, and there have been rumours about it being Wang Jianlin - the richest man in China, $35bn - interesting to see this today. http://m.chinadaily.com.cn/en/2015-06/25/content_21096147.htm Especially this bit, which caused me to do a small wee. What'll happen now, of course, is that he'll buy Albion and we'll get picked up by some Tony Adams fronted, cash and brains-strapped outfit.

Too right. I used to love the way the Italians had such brilliant flare players but were also hard as fucking nails where you needed to be.

Fucking kitstealers.

That Arsenal kit is absolutely horrific.

Story in the mirror reckons he turned down Sunderland who were prepared to pay him 90k a week to join us on 65k a week, after a personal intervention from Sherwood. A few problems with that. 1. Sunderland aren't going to offer to pay him 90k a week. 2. We're not going to offer to pay anyone 65k a week. 3. Like Tim Sherwood could persuade anyone to take a 25k a week hit.

I agree. If everything is going well for Liverpool, he looks useful, but if that's not the case, he's the first to disappear. Really, that sort of money for a player who has proved so little is absolutely fucking insane. More than Sanchez? That's a fucking joke.

Cabaye had apparently agreed to sign for us under Houllier, only for Houllier to be so selfish as to get himself invalided out of the game
