johnnypd Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Villa have bought an amazingly average set of players for such a big outlay. likes of Sidwell, Shorey, Young, Milner are players that clubs looking to break into the top 4 should be moving on and replacing, not bringing in. however their squad was so thin last year and had some gaping holes that even this set of mediocre players will improve them as a squad.

Fatwax Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Alot of English players in Villas first team. Most in premiership perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Think he will be a very good signing for them. 10m is a fair price for him I think and if we can get better then great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Can I give a big thanks to Middlesboro for being awkward when we tried to sign Viduka, effectively giving us £3-4 million by making us sell Milner later when his value shot up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Villa have bought an amazingly average set of players for such a big outlay. likes of Sidwell, Shorey, Young, Milner are players that clubs looking to break into the top 4 should be moving on and replacing, not bringing in. however their squad was so thin last year and had some gaping holes that even this set of mediocre players will improve them as a squad. Those players are all competent though, and its suprising how shit alot of the Premiership truly is when you actually have a competent player in your team and you realise just how much of a difference they can make.

Guest Stephen927 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My first though when I read it was another body gone with only a few days left til the close of the transfer window. Then I heard about the possible 5 signings, 2 in advanced talks and I'm not too fussed. He shouldn't prove difficult to replace. It's just replacing him with only a few days left.

Broadsword Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Feeling more positive this evening after listening to KK on .co.uk. You really should watch the whole press conference. The guy on trial is a maybe so theres also 2 far down the line aswell as the Zayatte guy. Atouba is probably a down the line one. Maybe the other is Malouda?

afar Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 This sell on clause thing been confirmed officially or not ? Read a few posts on 606 and they reckon he's a world beater, couple of toon supporters virtually in tears. Leeds fan saying they've gor 35% sell on clause ? What's the world coming to ?

johnnypd Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 i reckon it's 20-25% so we're getting at least £9m. i'm not sure all of Milner's add-on clauses would've been met though, as he never played for england or in the champion's league for us, so we might not have paid the whole £5m in the first place.
