How far would Villa go to get KP. And fail obviously.

[Cjay]

Just remember that we paid £13mil more for Rodrigo Moreno at the same age.

Victor Orta everyone

[whiteswan]

AND...they have a 50% sell on clause. Wonder what sell on clause we have for Rodrigo. Go on, anyone, buy him, and we'll give you back 50% of the money we've just agreed.....!

Proper scouting

No good for us as we don't sign players if they are not better than we've already got

[William]

Villa got him because of the manager.
Plus 8M Euro at Barca, I bet he took a hair cut to play in the Prem.

[Cjay]

Another very ambitious signing from Villa.

This is what we have to compete with.

Radz can talk bout Europe within 2 years (said 3 but its now 2) but you have to show that with intent like this.

[SG90]

Villa spent fortunes and yet to finish top half. Owners won't keep ploughing money in for nothing.

[Cjay]

Another signing from Villa.

£26mil for a 29 year old cb though

And Carlos is decent but he is far from perfect and has a mistake in him.

Is he their version of Llorente?

Is Mings career at Villa in jeopardy?

[mentalcase]

Looks like villa are panic buying early to appease the hoardes, we're not a club that panics.

[Cjay]

No he is much more of a combative and physical cb than Llorente.

Body on the line sort of cb.

But also decent on the ball.

However he is error prone and is known for that as well as his physical style causing rash decisions and leading to him making daft challenges and giving away pens.

Good player but nothing special.

[1964white]

Blimey, Villa have made three signings already & we are barely into June

£43m spent.

As updated on the opening post on page one.

[Lumiukko]

Coutinho for 17m is decent business IMO

[1964white]

I don't enjoy playing this Brummie rabble, it rarely ends well.

A bunch of thugs in that team. Mings, McGinn, and now you can add Diego Carlos and even that winger/midfielder Leon Bailey who also clattered Llorente. I mentioned in the thread that I see D. Carlos getting a fair few cards this season.

[1964white]

I've just read the views of the Villa fans on the game, they behave like their team

Some of them justifying McGinn's tackle on Archie Gray.

Apparentlly we were the dirty team & also getting all the decisions from the officials.

Oh, & their first pen was a stonewall penalty

Don't forget the forum links are in the opening post of each club thread

[1964white]

Just as Leeds did, Villa beat Brisbane Roar by the odd goal winning 1-0.

Villa drew with scum 2-2 yesterday.
