Teasy Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Can't believe they're getting £5m for Borini. Along with Pickford and the probable sales of Kone, Ndong and Khazri, they might raise a decent chunk. £5m is a pittance to be honest like, likely does nowt but cover what they still owe Liverpool. They paid £10m for him 2 years ago so I'd be very surprised if they don't still owe £5m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I would consider sticking money on them going up tbh, there is still plenty of s**** in that league Have you seen the state of their squad ? Unless these new owners (if it happens) throw a ton of money at them, a better bet is for them to go down again. Look at how badly Villa struggled last year with a way superior squad and a real manager ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 tell you what if they do manage to come up this season it'll be some achievement given the amount of players they've lost and when they're likely to be able to start looking at bringing in a new manager and players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how badly Villa struggled last year with a way superior squad and a real manager ! It just isn't going to happen. The current ownership have thrown a ton of misplaced money at it and that's a fundemental part of why they're in their current predicament. Their next ten years will be a lot more austere than the last ten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 In the post-war era they've been out of the top Divison for five consecutive seasons on two occasions and for six consecutive seasons on two occasions. There was a brief run around in third tier in their somewhere. At the minute it looks like all the conditions could be in place for a reord breaking run. Btw, apparently only three league clubs have had three consecutive relegations (Wolves, Luton, Bristol City), unlikely but there's a winnable competition, actually wouldn't require much effort... just keep doing nothing.

I've never understood how when they once had a local lad Colin Todd play for them, who was one of the best and most cultured defenders north east football has ever seen, that their club legends are two third rate cloggers Kevin Ball and Charlie Hurley Perhaps it says everything you need to know about them ?

STM Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Presume Borini's wages needed to be off the books. You would think they were get a decent loan fee for him, otherwise what would be the point? One of their better players, gone for nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Considering Anichebe and Defoe have gone, they may as well keep Borini. He's not bad, he'd be their best hope in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
