Frozy 16,357 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Big mistake from Lambert not playing Bacuna this season. The lad's got genuine quality. Seen it in the Leyton Orient game earlier in the season too. Gives a lot of pace to this side which was lacking all season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magic J 10,640 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * There is however still the sale of the club hanging over us. However staying up will help that too. The bottom line is we simply have to stay up by hook or by crook. I understand but Fox did say lerner isnt a motivated seller, so Im not banking on him going any time soon. With the increase in TV revenue and the sorry state we are in I suspect we will spend... a little. By the way, we are all over these in the lats 10 minutes. So refreshing to see players run at defenders Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lerner needs to decide what he wants to do because he doesn't seem overly keen to put the money in off the evidence I've seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's not putting in money as he want to sell the club, but can't find the right buyer whilst the club is on the bring of relegation mostly down to money not being put in.

Well done, hopefully you can suppress Arsenal fans and wow them in the final, like you have w/ Liverpool. EDIT: That's the beauty of the FA Cup, underdogs always strive!

ashtini 27,252 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Chuffed to bits, been to Villa Park a number of times this season and there was promise there but Tim as given you that spark you desperately needed. Enjoyed the game, thought you were the better team & it was a very mature performance from Grealish, something I wasn't sure if he had just yet but I am happy to be proven wrong - looks exceptionally promising. Obviously you are underdogs for the final, but I truly hope you win it - after all its not like Arsenal make it easy for themselves - Birmingham in the League Cup a few years ago, Hull in the final of this last season (even vs Reading).

The implications of us going down are astronomical given the new tv deal. I'm relatively confident of us staying up. Given Leciester's recent form I think they might scrape staying up.

They do have serious quality though. However as Tim said we have to concentrate on staying up now. Might be hard but that is our priority. Then the cup. Then keeping Benteke and Delph. So chuffed for Jack too, Villain through and through. Hopefully Sherwood does with him what he did for Harry Kane Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hercule Poirot 7,969 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Have to say I'm delighted for Cleverley. A perfect example of what a lack of confidence can do to a player. Still think he would make a very good squad player for us but that ship has probably sailed. Hope he stays with you and not leave for Everton. Clearly looks very passionate in all his celebrations and has a thing going with Sherwood. Playing with the same same enthusiasm and verve as he did when he first started out for United. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly looks very passionate in all his celebrations and has a thing going with Sherwood. Playing with the same same enthusiasm and verve as he did when he first started out for United. I don't think it's just confidence I genuinely believe after his injury he's dropped in ability (in terms of long term ability) pre injury Cleverly was capable of becoming a regular at United. That being said I think he's found his level at Villa and is with a manager who he wants to play for, I hope he can keep this up at Villa. Completely agree RE: moving to Everton, I think it would present similar problems to his time at United, he's found a club where he can start most games, a manager who believes in him and I believe fans who are not going to abuse him for not being good enough every time he makes a mistake (which I did) so why risk losing all that for a move to a top 10 club.
