mrmojorisin75 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Reading a few Villa forums the words "final piece of the jigsaw" are turning up all over the shop. Fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geordiesned Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Robinho, Arshavin and a few more. Nowt like realistic transfer targets. That's what amuses me about some of the comments in here. Some people think as we have £12 million for a player (if that figure is correct, if it goes through and minus the money to be passed onto Leeds) then we'll automatically sign a better player despite the fact we aren't in Europe and once a player of such stature becomes available the clubs who are willing to pay greater wages will join the chase. We've already signed one better player in Guttierez. Yes - one. We've been beaten to the signatures of several others though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~1378813,00.html Milner Completes Move England Under-21 international James Milner today became Villa's eighth summer signing as he completed his switch from Barclays Premier League rivals Newcastle United. Milner, who spent the 2005-06 season on loan at Villa, scoring three goals in 33 League and cup appearances, has returned signing a four year deal. The 22-year-old completed a medical at Bodymoor Heath this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is simply that there are better players available who would still join us and will; depending upon one's rating of Milner obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 At least Dick Turpin wore a mask. Stitched them up like a kipper - 12m quid! Now.....(and quickly)....for the replacement..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Even Milner lovers like me has to admit that 12m is purely a robbery, an open rape, assassination, sexual discrimination etc blah blah blah any kind of crime you can think off. Jonas right, NZogbia left, Enrique LB, Kazenga as winger backup, try to find a player who can play as winger and striker---everything solved. That Milner kid at Villa can play Striker and either Wing. This wow signing best be really WOW otherwise we are screwed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BeatMakerz Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 well I like Milner but if the reports are right you can't turn that kind of deal down , now we forget him and turn our attentions to getting new faces in, we are usually involved in the last few days of the TW, I know KK won't just panic buy.

mattypnufc Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Whilst I rated Milner quite highly and believed he was a very good squad player...12million pounds is a fucking steal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'd be delighted with is if Smith & Ameobi had left, as it stands we've still got big hangers-on that we cannot shift, at least Cacapa, Butt & Viduka's contract run out in a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DMan Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 SSN just confirmed he has signed 4 year deal with Villa now Wonder what Keegan will have to say, surely we will get a quote from him today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptoon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 This is terrible news for us. Even worse if we don't replace him in the next few days. Are we that strapped for cash? Should have sold Smith to Everton instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 People calling for a replacement, we still havent replaced Faye, before people say Colo we needed him before getting rid of Faye. Hate to be negative, but i honestly cant see this window closing well for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
