brummie Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 N'Zogbia forgot he existed. I'll do you a demonstration of what he does. *puts laptop aside, stands up, runs into wall* *waits 20 minutes* *repeats* Him, Aaron Hughes and Habib Fucking Beye. Three players we had who had NUFC on their cv and all absolutely shit. And N'Zogbia and Beye were SO shit, I almost feel bad about putting Hughes on that list. Milner was mint, mind.

Milner was fucking great for us. I love him. Of all the decent players we've sold and utterly failed to replace the last few years, he's the one Villa fans would most like back. Honestly, I genuinely love him, with his endless work rate, decent technique and quirky 1940s, wartime schoolboy haircut that makes him look like he should be holding a gas mask and waving goodbye to his parents on a smoggy railway platform.

ponsaelius Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Milner was nowt special for us. I'm sure he flourished at Villa because he played centre mid didn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 All of them were very good/excellent for us as well. Milner was miles better for you than he was for us though. Aaron Hughes was absolutely not very good/excellent for us, like. When he was RB for us during Bobby's time he was regularly the weakest link on the field. Pretty solid CB in general, mind and shouldn't have been sold given the crap that ended up playing instead in the coming seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Beye was mint, it's only now with Janmaat that we have actually got someone as good as him at RB. It's amazing that we'd had Colo, Bassong, and Beye all in defence the year we went down yet were shocking defensively. All pretty good players on their own, but that season we had a shocker. I think it was mostly down to what was in front of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 re Verretout (of whom I know next to nothing) is that we recently appointed Hendrik Almstadt our sporting director. Almstadt worked at Arsenal where he spent a lot of time workingwith Wenger and, to a lesser extent, Tom Fox (then their CCO, now our CEO) on linking the football and commercial sides of the business. It seems that there was a process under way, which stalled, to bring Verretout to Arsenal, and that Almstadt was deeply involved in that deal. It could be that this - unlikely sounding - deal is getting to be possible based on that relationship. In the wider story, I do wonder how come, after five years of c***ing around in the transfer market like idiots, we've suddenly started to look like we know what we want to achieve, and we've invested time in finding the players to help us do it. In other news, apparently Charles N'Zogbia has this evening tweeted something about "politics", removed all Villa references from his twitter profile, and changed his profile pic to a banner saying OFFLINE. I hope that's because he's offski. Veretout is a good young player, an upgrade on Westwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know and I know that his versatility as a backup was why he was a very good player to have around and certainly worth more than the £1.5m we sold him for.

hithere Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Villa a strong candidate to go down this season? Would say so. Not a chance Decent purchases so far and we've barely made a dent on our transfer cash yet. It looks like we've sat down and thought about who we're going to buy, and have realised we need to start spending a bit more money. Three more decent signings and we'll finish top half.
