Dr Venkman Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 i'm not sure if the gloating will be bearable if he goes to them like I wouldn't worry about it as there is as much chance of him going there as there is of Sunderland being declared European City of Culture 2011. seem to remember brummie saying there was more chance of him being appointed manager of villa than mcleish. i'm not worried about it but it seems possible, are villa really that much more an attractive proposition than the mackems? i cant see it. and one thing i know for certain is that if bruce needs any more motivation to go all out for him, then being seen to get one over on us will be ample. Ask Darren Bent. Oh, and thanks for dragging up the McLeish thing I said *slits wrists vertically, horizontally, diagonally* sorry mate, i'm not sure you lot are in as good shape as when bent signed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Think I would actually cry if N'Zogbia went to Sunderland..... But logically speaking, if Villa are willing to match his wage demands, he's definitely off there imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Villa > Sunderland in just about any non-Sunderland supporting players mind. I'll be green with envy when he goes to Villa though. True f*** up by Scrooge McAshley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've sold two players, one of whom we've known was going for months, and another of whom went yesterday. In fact, he stil hasn't actually signed. So long as we replace them properly, we'll be fine. I can't help thinking that Downing out for N'Zogbia and 10 million pounds in is a bit of a winner of a deal, though. If we can then persuade Scott Parker to come and finish the Given deal, that makes: Downing = Scott Parker + N'Zogbia + Shay Given. I doubt anyone would suggest that is not a good result. Still, let's see what happens. I wouldnt be surprised if we didn't get any of them and the whole thing went to tit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CheickMansour Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Was initially disappointed to hear this news as he would have obviously improved us. But, on the whole, we have enough players who can play on the wings. More importantly, we have enough quality to play there. As mentioned earlier, it's far more important that we get in a good striker. I can accept missing out on Zoggy if we take that money and invest it in a quality pacy forward to compliment Ba.

We sold them all on Ashley's watch. And they would be good for Villa - a team (who saw last season as a terrible disapointment) that still finished above us (who saw last season as a good one), despite the 5-1.
