Ross Barkley

[mattbianco1]

Gone to Villa

 

[norfolkblade]

Right outta nowhere that as well. Fair play to them, Smith is building a serious squad over there in my opinion.

 

[Houso]

I was cynical at first about Villa's chances this season, but they're actually looking pretty strong aren't they. Buying pretty much exclusively from the domestic market too.

I think we can forget them struggling this season. Wish we had their papes.

 

[BrisBlade]

They must have 800+ players now. How are they going to thin the squad down to 25?

 

[brownblade]

They continue to recruit flakey inconsistent players. Watkins aside.

Going down.

And for the record I rate Barkley fairly high on his day. But they're going down.

 

[Working Class Hero]

Probably the most over rated player of the last 6/7 years, and possibly the worst decision maker I have ever seen.

 

[IOM Blade]

Spunkin moneh.

 

[Joey1889]

Dean Smith, luckiest man that's ever lived....? Shocking prem manager but is given everything he needs to make failure impossible. Imagine what Sir Chris could do with those players

 

[Torrix1889]

Good addition to the Fraud Squad to be fair...

 

[FTPE]

How much fucking money are they spending!?
I would have loved him to be honest but if his attitude isn't right he won't work out there anyway.

I like Smith but I'm certainly thinking he's out of his depth, so no matter the players I do think Villa will be down there and in trouble again

Although admittedly they had some rough injuries last season, but also made a lot of utter utter piss signings

 

[Wesolddeano]

On paper they are getting a string squad together, alot of depth. But out of the 3 teams we have played I would say villa were the one that offered the lowest threat.
Wilder with villas budget would be a bloody good mix

 

[Wesolddeano]

Also, look at fulham. A few season ago they brought in too many and it cost them.

Are we talking a moderate amount of papes or mad papes?

 

[essyoueffsee]

Let's not pretend Barkley wouldn't walk in any bottom halves team. But what are they thinking paying over 100k a week on him.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Although this is making our transfer window look ever more weak.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

People have a go at Villa but at end of the day we can only dream about having owners that are prepared to back the manager and go out and get the targets he wants with the minimum of fuss.

If CW had the funds Smith has had 100+ million every summer he would have us challenging for top 6

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

How long was the Ross Barkley thread on the Villa forum ? did they have one ? light weights

 

[Karaoke Blade]

I really hope these cunts go bust.

 

[TJ blade]

I really hope these cunts go bust.

Doubt it with 2Billionaires backing them.

 

[Stretch]

The thing is, I have seen plenty of Villa in recent years, and especially since Smith came in. And whoever they sign, they never seem to play any better.

Exactly, not their fault they have money to spend and their recruitment his summer seems a lot better than the scattergun approach they took a year ago. Can’t see them struggling to the extent they did last season.

 

[Houso]

Mad papes. Not insane papes.

 

[Houston_Blade]

He's only become the player he is today because of 13 games at the pigs. He'd be nowhere without it.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Ambition, if only we had some

 

[Le Cynique]

Ross Barkley is fucking dog-shit

 

[FriethBlade]

Let's not pretend Barkley wouldn't walk in any bottom halves team. But what are they thinking paying over 100k a week on him.

They are thinking we are s premiership side and intend being one next season.

I had them nailed on for relegation but there's absolutely no doubt they are stronger than last season. They've kept Grealish and Mings, added Watkims,Traore , Barkley and the Arsenal keeper and McGinn is ba k from injury .

The money they are spending seems irrelevant to them for oqners worth 8bn dollars !

 

[Slabhead Revisited]

Smacks of Danny Drinkwater this

Fingers crossed!

 

[Sam64]

An obscene amount of money

I mean proportionally it wouldn't suprise me if the prince has exposed himself way more than the Villa bunch. I dont think its really about backing or willingness to back.
