Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

We certainly wouldn’t be giving a shit about wolves if roles were reversed. Saying that, I get why we are an easy target.

Think it's an age thing, your younger fans seem to hate us as much as the Blues. Your older fans don't seem to care much about it.

It’s simple. For us to be a league about you lot, it’s no big deal because it’s been the norm for 40 years or so. It’s a big deal that you’ve got one over on us. As I said, I get the stick we are getting. Had it from the baggies when they were in prem, and now and again blues get one over on us. I’ll freely admit we are a laughing stock at the moment.

Wonder how your older fans would feel about it (going back to the 50's here), when we were the best team in the country and you were relegation fodder. Wait I'm being smug aren't I?

Pot calling the kettle black there

I'm not smug, never have been

Football was different back then. No social media to stir it up, and I think fans generally got on better then. You had say 20 years where you were the better club. The 50s was your golden period. You won more, and had bigger crowds at times. Before that and mostly since then we’ve been the main club in the region. Like I said, I get the stick. My grandad remembers that wolves team, and always talks highly of it.

Back then folks would watch Wednesday one week at home then United the next

Yep, my grandad who lived in Erdington at the time would go to watch Blues or Albion when Villa were away.

Coz entry was the price of a pint and it was a working mans sport. Game has gone.

that and away travel wasn't as popular.

We're being linked with Mepham from Brentford. MagpieBee?

JJH might be worth putting a few more quid on Abraham to leave, doubt he will want to stay at that shower of shit after yesterday. Kodjia off to France too, bad times to be a Vile fan.

Kodjia’s off is he? Villa have barely improved under Smith and he was the second coming a few weeks ago, whereas Steve Bruce was the worst manager on the planet.

We improved massively, I should know. Since the Albion game we’ve slowly got worse. Bruce should have been sacked end of. Hardly the second coming was it. Don’t play into the wolves fans hands.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Villa and stoke are bemusingly weird teams both should be streets ahead of us this season

 

[HarvSFC]

They don't spy on other clubs' training sessions.

Results haven’t, the football probably has but I don’t get the fascination of pretty football. It’s a results based business and as I said to you the other week Smith sides are soft and have no bottle.

Results haven’t since the Albion game. Our play has gradually got worse too, and it’s just been utter shit the last few games. We looked unbelievable before that mind. See what happens Saturday.

Same with us and Blackpool. Unthinkable.

Can't even look at each other nowadays.

Just how I like it.

Who’ve you got Saturday? We’re up at Forest, hopefully they’ve not appointed a manager by then.

Watched Leeds v Derby on Friday. Very very impressed by your lot.

It's defo your year this time.

 

[KevinMcallister]

So many key injuries but yet youngsters are replacing them with ease

Jack Clarke is way beyond his years phenomenal talent definitely a pl player no matter what happens now

Very impressed with Clarke. A natural .

Ouch wrong time to play them we know

We only just beat them opening game of season. They certainly won’t be fearing us at the moment.

Hull

Tough one that. The Steve Bruce derby.

There were a few pictures doing the rounds on twitter of him at B'ham airport whilst the team were travelling up to Wigan.

 

[villa loyal]

He’s injured. He has family and friends in France and had permission to travel there to visit.

 

[JJH]

still affected by the Paris attacks...

 

[MagpieBee]

We're being linked with Mepham from Brentford. MagpieBee?

We rejected £15m with add ons from Bournemouth in the summer, given the way our form has gone of late wouldn’t surprise me if we accepted a similar offer now.

He’s young and needs more development, but really think he could go far in the game, got all the qualities of a top class CB.

In other news, Judge going to Ipswich on a permanent deal. The fee will be about £1m, with add ons if they stay up. Decent business for Ipswich, but he’s just never been the same since the injury. Good for us to get a fee for a player who we’ll release for free in the summer.

Yennaris also just about gone to a club in China for £5m. Blinding business by our DoFs. For about the 4th season in a row we’ll have made over £20m in transfer fees which is amazing work.
