Whats frustrating though is because we squandered a shit load of money 2 years ago ( even though all that money was recouped with outgoings) Levy seems to be using it as an excuse to throw in the towel.

I think that he sees it (like me) that continental players can't be expected to come in and do the business straight away. Which is why we are looking at more domestic signings.

Levy has came out and said that signings will be made in the latter stages of the window. Makes business sense because this is when clubs will be panicking about their players contracts and looking to sell. On the cheap I might add..

My drinking game is backfiring with you. Please talk about Levy more often on a Friday night!!
 
Yeah thought you'd made it up.

Struggle to see how that's more 'cringing' than writing him off before you've ever seen him play though. Must be miserable to follow a club where they can seemingly do nothing right.
& now u go & make up something!

i havent written him off. never seen him play.
id be suprised if he turned out to be amazing.
but not many signings do.
we have 4 other CBs too. seems enough.

I was just stating that many people said he was a good signing despite never seeing him play? do u dispute this?

not a reflection on wimmer but i wouldnt have signed him as 1 young CB(dier) learning their trade is enough for me. but not really a gamble at 4m.

i hope wimmer turns out to be good.

also, I never said the club can do no wrong. u made that bit up yourself again.

very excited & happy with new stadium plans.
pleased we have got rid of so much deadwood. I thought we would do well to sell 3 or maybe 4 at a push.
toby's a good solid signing.
I like the emphasis on youth & giving them a chance. just want some balance to go with it so we aren't relying too much on them & aren't too top heavy with unproven youngsters.

Villa have been linked with Gestede for a while. They have zero strikers by the way. Weimann and Benteke gone. Kozak on his way out and Agbonlahor is not a striker.

Gestede and Adebayor gives them options. Berbatov on the other hand..
 
We've not signed a midfielder or a striker yet. That's not failing to address our problems. It's acting slowly on sorting them out.

I am delighted we lost.

Our business this summer had been exceptional.

Would you like us to sign Di Maria ?
Because I think .
He might sign for Paris
Saint-Germain !
(mirrored your lovely Haiku structure so please appreciate it).

Don't tune in then mate. Peacefully protest the demon Levy. Facts are that we aren't going to spend massively after being burnt by the Bale money and have put in a new spending/transfer structure. Best get used to it.

Haiku have a rule
Five syllables, seven, five
Just to let you know

More the excuse of the money involved in a major build, and a groundshare ( lost revenue).
We did not sqaunder a shit load of money either. Like you say we made a profit that window.
What is it, we don't spend, or we spend shitloads?
Anyway, who do you propose we sell this time to spend another 'shitload'. That's the only way will will ever lay out over £100m, if we sell the same amount, or more.
Do you know what our biggest net spend ever in the EPL was before we sold Bale? £34m mate. When Modric came. So, why are we going to spend 'shitloads' at this time in the clubs history?
I just cannot understand your logic mate. We are not getting our stadium given to us like Man City or Spam. It costs a lot of money.
