Don't you think its funny that Roma are signing lots of players when our deals keep falling through! Perhaps they were right about baldinI. {Ed008's Note - What were they right about Baldini? In what way does Roma have to do with Tottenham in transfers?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wasn't he at Roma before he came to us? {Ed008's Note - Yes but what point are you trying to make? He signed a lot of good players at Roma because the results weren't there it's not his fault it's the manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

How would u lot feel if we stay as we are no one going out or no 1 conning in
Mr g

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'd feel we wouldn't be ready to compete with the top 4 next season (that's assuming the all strengthen)

Agree0 Disagree0

Mr G, I can't see us bringing Baldini in then just signing Paulinho? I think there is definitely more to come. I think we'll still be sensible, Levy won't be held to ransom.

I think an arsenal fan posted on here a couple of days a go about how both our clubs are run the right way compared in the likes of Chavski and Citeh, and others across europe who have sugar daddies inflating prices not just of players but everything involved with football.

I'm as frustrated as anyone about not getting a striker in past windows, but it can't be to the detriment of the club. Over the past 5 or 6 season we've built a really strong squad, sensibly, one that's on the verge of challenging! The fans know it, our neighbours know it and Levy knows it. And credit to Levy and everyone else in involved at the club for getting us into this position.

I'm sure we'll bring in what's needed (a striker), I think Paulinho is testament to our intent. I've got faith anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Interesting thought. I don't think we could get top four, simply because of the striker issue. However with a fully fit midfield of Paulinho, Sandro and Dembele I think we would be stronger than last season.

If we had signed Villa I would be a lot more comfortable with the idea.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2013 21:13:43
I think we need at least one striker, an attacking midfielder that can play behind the striker or compete with lennon, and a left back. Hoping we can raise some funds from shifting some of the fringe players, who would be your 3 players to to bring in to cover these positions:
1: Solgardo
2: Erikson
3: Coentrao

Scottie!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Never heard of Solgardo, we would be better trying to get Soldado!

Agree0 Disagree0

Person u know what he meant.

I know this would never happen but imagine a front 3 of reus bale and keissling (leverkeusen). I honestly think we could win the league with that front 3. Never going to happen but I can dream ;) {Ed008's Note - Too much Fifa IMO.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Jul 2013 21:32:07
Agreed ed. I do play to much fifa but keissling is possible. Reus is out of our league tho. {Ed008's Note - Kiebling is a player I've always like always scored goals but he's 29 yrs old don't think he would move.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jul 2013 01:46:33
I suppose your right about the age thing. I expect leverkusen to do make big impressions this year. Young team with a young manager. P. s the fancy german letter is pronouced ss ed ;)

if spurs fans think they can squeeze villa to 17-20m for benteke they will not be surprised to see bale leave for 35-40m next season.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It really isn't the same though is it? Benteke 1 good season in the Epl and what did he win? Bale been looking very good for 2 seasons and a world class performance last season along with numerous awards. Players, player of the year, writers player of the year, young player of the year and nominated for European player of the year and I'm sure there was 2 more that he won can't remember what they were. So your comparison is deluded.

I understand your frustration villa fans as you honestly believe you'll get that money for him but I'm willing to bet you won't. Look at it from a neutral point of view, your the only fans who believe you'll be getting 35mill. You'll do well if you get 20mill and that's with all respect, not belittling your club. Be happy though nearly 300% profit In 1 year can't grumble!

On top of that if we sell Bale next year we'll proberly only get 60mill but Bale is helping us go global so it's worth it for us to hold onto him and make a loss. Benteke won't push up your profile so not worth keeping him if he wants to leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

Typical arrogant spud attitude. Pay up if you want big Ben, otherwise just go away and find another gem.
I live in spud town and it is interestihg to listen to supporters talk and the majority seem to say if you can buy him fir £25m you will get a bargain. He will improve over the next 2/3 seasons and be worth every penny of £40/50m.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are all these villa fans suddenly gobbing off everywhere?
Honestly, is it just because your top player from last season wants to leave and come to us?
There seems to be so much hatred, surely that should be directed at the player causing all the fuss.
You can understand him wanting to move to bigger club though.
Me personally, they can keep him. No better than adebayor. One good season doesn't make a top prem player. Again, look at adebayor.

Agree0 Disagree0

Which part of that showed arrogance? I'm guessing you don't have a dictionary and no understanding of the word. There was nothing but a well thought out post with certain points to back up my opinions (now that's arrogance for example).

I'm not going to be at the negotiating table so pay up what? I think your being very single minded with your view on the subject but I'm not going to lower myself to your petty level.

Yes your correct he "could" become a bargin, but I think if you read other comments on this site by other fans you'll see the opinion is divided. So not all fans in London will have the same view as the minority you have spoken to.

I wasn't being disrespectful towards your club and actually respect your team. Also the fans on your site are genuinely decent people to discuss football with and you let your own fans down.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is nothing but a big bruiser £40/50 million your off your rocker he is average at best nothing more than a young heskey I'd rather stick with adebayor

Agree0 Disagree0

So Spuds profile as things stand?

Europa League (again) competing as much to be top 4 in London as top 4 PL. Bale could move down the road to play Champions League football in front of 60k fans. Another season in the top six, like Villa experienced a fair few of and you think you will be a high profile club?

Bale will want out whatever happens next season, and if he pushes for a transfer then you will be in the same boat as Villa. Demanding a fee you believe he is worth to your own club, whilst Real Madrid, Man Utd, Chelsea Arsenal and other clubs who win things decide that he wants off so they can call their own fee.

This time next year prepare yourself for Arsenal to offer you 20m + Gervinho and be told that you must accept it and its a tidy profit for Bale.

Good luck with your bid to consolidate and land some more Europa League football though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow, all of a sudden the Villa supporters have got an attitude problem, one decent player on their books and wow, they rule the PL. Like every player, Bentenke has two prices, what you want and what someone is prepared to spend. Now if Higuain is £25 million, then get a grip. Yes, he has had a brilliant season, and I think he will get better and suit a club like yours that will finish in the bottom ten of the PL each year. For the money, there are better strikers out there, I doubt we will get one but we are used to that!

Agree0 Disagree0

Says the team in a relegation struggle season, let's be honest Benteke was the only reason you stayed up last season and Stoke would be an step up for Benteke, and we've had more than seasons in the top 6 and unlike you we actually tasted CL football :L we got champions league 2009/2010, europa league 2010/11, Finished in a champions league place 2011/12 and close to it again this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Relegation struggle for two seasons and obviously can't count, 4th, 5th, 4th, 5th is average place of 4. 5th over 4years, not 6th!

Don't want Benteke so pipe down.

Simmo

Agree0 Disagree0

I got fed up talking with this Villa fan as he obviously can't see past his own nose. Fellow fans, well said guys, this Villa fan is a tool but believe me the other Villa fans are decent so don't let this 1 tarnish the rest.

One other thing though Villa fan, how can you laugh at a team for actually making Europe (albeit the Europa league) when your team isn't even good enough to make said competition?
Being top 4 in London is actually a big ask as 3 of the teams in London are in the top 5 of the Epl surely even a simpleton like you understands that?

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2013 21:53:14
Now remember your place Spuds. a four year purple patch. not so long ago Villa were 6th for 3 seasons. Spuds are already on the wain and if we looked at a slightly longer time scale it is you who are the relegation battlers. I think though you must need to puff your chests out as being honest about living in the shadow of Arsenal and Chelsea must make you yampy.

Agree0 Disagree0

All these villa m. orons coming out the woodwork because one of their players wants a bigger club.
We have all got history fellas. 3rd here. 4th there.
One thing is for sure. You are only mid table at best. Relegation fodder. Come on. Open your gobs more. Give us your best. By the way, if you look up carefully and very hard, you might just see us.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2013 23:48:33
We can admit it and we can look upwards. you however can only look up as watching Arsenal for the past twenty years has given you all a cricked neck. ouch!

Agree0 Disagree0

How poor it is to be a villa fan. got to use other teams success to rip in to opposing fans. We rip into you because our team is above yours (normal) you rip into us because Arsenal finish above us (strange) suppose what else have you got so can't blame you lmao!

Agree0 Disagree0

If that all the villa fans have, needing to use other teams, then no wonder all their players want to leave.
Sad, very sad.

Agree0 Disagree0

There just a small team in birmingham

Question, or a just a thought, with spurs looking at more wingers and attacking midfielders, is there a chance they could push bale to cf? He scored 20+ goals from midfield last season and can strike with both feet, should he, would he, could he? Only a thought as i'd rather that then waste 25mill on benteke! Your thoughts please edds or anyone? {Ed008's Note - For me he's best played as a LM if you have clever midfield players he can swap positions during game like Holtby/Lennon when he's got a fixed position he's double man marked IMO.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

But if he played in a front 3 with lennon, holtby or another winger we have been linked with the 3 of them could interchange and poss be a potent attacking force, only a thought, not convinced with benteke, 25 mill is a lot, is thyere anyone else realisticly? rumours on hulk gone quiet? or as some one else said further down michu is a cheaper risk, have bayen sold gomes yet? I am getting conserned we are putting all our eggs in the benteke basket, but am trying to keep the faith in levy, baldini and avb! COYS {Ed008's Note - Really depends what formation AVB goes with this season? Looks like 433 I think their looking at other players most defiantly don't think Hulk is of interest of Spurs, Gomez has joined Fiorentina.

Agree0 Disagree0

Or have berba back, in a swap deal for hudd, if they still want him?

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2013 12:40:01
I don't see what the problem is with levy spending big on a striker that may be little over price benteke or daimio when everybody is saying to levy just spend the money he wouldn't not spend it if he didn't have it and have enough to spend on other players

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And yet if he wanted to spend for spend's sake then he may spend for a bit of a spending?!

Looks like Roma are snatching the young croatian centre back that we were after

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Spurs pulled the plug after his family wanted him to get €1.2m a year, a house ( for him snd his family)and school fees for his 2 brothers!
Roma can have him.

Benteke said he wanted to join 'them' and he's had one season in the Prem. £15m is hefty, £20m is nuts, £25m is cuckoo-land.
Simmo

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hi Simmo, what do you know about cuckoos? It would appear that you live there. Benteke is probably too good for Spuds and if you pay the right money for him, £25m+ then in two years time you would be selling him on to the real big money clubs at a huge profit. If you paid £20m and 50% of any sell on would you go for it?

Agree0 Disagree0

Come on, one good season in a mostly struggling side. He might well kick on but for what we want, £20m is too big a gamble. If we have to have him and pay £20m, I'll give you 50% of any sell on as long as you share 50% of any loss!
