Can't get a deal done quickly. Other clubs can and dare I say it Wolves can even do it. What are they paid for?
We are in the big boys league, but we act like league one with our dealings. Always on the cheap and very amateurish.
Sorry chaps for ranting but I get so sick of it. We need ambition not penny pinching, we are in the best league in the world but still being outspent by the Dingles!!
And where are Wolves and Villa given their great track record with transfers and big outlay on transfers?
Fighting to get out of the championship back to the level we're at now.
Quite frankly I want to see players coming in through the door but talk of money and how much spent is a side of modern football I couldn't care less about.
We're never going to be able to compete with the spending going on around us at the minute without gambling with the clubs existence - and there's no way the level of spending we're seeing at the minute in the game is sustainable.
Also let's see where we are and evaluate our transfer window once it's closed. As much as it's frustrating to be seeing transfers going on at other clubs, we're still going to be doing business this window and have already made what's looking to be like two good additions in Rodriguez and Hegazi - the latter of those if he adapts to the Premier League will have to go down as a success by our scouts as anyone on here who said they'd heard of him before and knew how he played would be telling porkies![]()
I agree re Rodriguez and especially Hegazi as I have stated before but I stick to what I have said before. We are amateurish in comparison to others around us and below us when it Comes to getting any deals done.
I'd say Villa's approach to transfers is amateurish with the chairman talking relentless shite on Twitter and they have spent an absolute fortune; we in comparison have spent wisely for the most part throughout the 00's and 10's despite being stingy.
Not giving Kevin Phillips a 2 year deal way back when is the only real issue I had recently with our board on transfers and contracts. Far too stingy not to extend a player like Super Kev's contract. I've not really had much else to really be annoyed about since imo.
You are totally Missing my point. Other teams are linked to players who to be honest would make our team better but not only are they linked they actually sign them. We look for a few seasons and don't sign hardy any of them. We are still apparently buying Marc Wilson. He is not better than what we already have. Even that is taking an age even though Bournemouth want rid and were happy for us to loan him. Our negotiations and dealings are a shambles.
I don't care about Villa or their fans, board or chairman to be honest. I don't know what I'm worried about as every transfer window has been brilliant and I'm really enjoying this one as it's been so different........ NOT
I'm obviously frustrated over nothing, dunno what I was thinking really
