Keiron Richardson to sign in the next 24 hours

1.) 10 Jul 2014
Bendtner and richardson confirmed fridayWhat do we think of the signings so far is it improving the side vtid

2.) 11 Jul 2014
Richardson is better then Luna and Bennett. Bendtner has to prove himself as everyone thinks his wack.

3.) 11 Jul 2014
As much as bentdners reputation goes against him, I would think that if you just look at goals, if he played the same amount a of minutes for villa this season as agbonlahor did last season he would double the amount of goals gabby scored. Obv gabby adds another dimension, but let's be honest, his pace didn't count for much in terms of end product - other than 44 minutes against Liverpool where he was unusually fantastic.

4.) 11 Jul 2014
Richardson would be a good signing, I don't particularly like him playing at LB because he does make mistakes an gets caught out of position, but if we play 3 at the back an wing backs then he could be ideal to play the left wing back, he does have qualities, scores goals from distance, free kick specialist, good crosser, plays a good pass and is a hard working player, no real down side to getting him on a free.

Let's hope he is as good as the last K. Richardson to wear the villa shirt.

6.) 11 Jul 2014
Villa really are scrapping the barrel here, any free signing we can and then Richardson? He was good when he actually performed but is too in consistent and was relegated for a reason! Some things needs to change at the Villa and soon!

A state of confusion can be worrying, and I believe that would be the thoughts of a negative person. Let's not confuse negative thoughts with realism though. Paul Lambert is trying to do the best he can with what he has. Take the practical view point. If PL is fired (as is expected) when new owners come in, he is not old enough to retire or eloquent enough to enter the world of football punditry. No, our manager's only route back to work is as a manager. He is probably (and wrongly, in my opinion) going to try to have a season or half a season like any player would, playing for a new contract. Unlike a player though, PL is not in control of all of the elements that will ensure (or otherwise) he has a good "swan song" season. The players he has bought in, gives us the experience we crave from players who are neither needy or desperate for the pay check. I believe they are players that will no more want a relegation on their playing file, than us fans! As for Roy Keane, the fact that most journalists seem to be reporting that Kieran Richardson will sign because of him and their past history at United and Sunderland (wasn't he a club record signing at Sunderland?), speaks volumes as to his potential impact.
We need to remain positive guys. The day we marry, we all believe our other half to be the most beautiful, the most thoughtful person on the planet. Only the most cynical would disagree. We all accept however this is not the case but we still focus on our positive attributes and the feelings of why we're with the person we are. Does this sound familiar? Sounds a lot like being a devoted football fan to me! So before we all relegate the club before the 1st August, let's inject some common sense, not cynicism. Let's add some support, not promote detraction. We don't NEED to support the Villa, we CHOOSE to. So why try to demoralise that which we have chosen?
Today, we are a different club. 1982 was a generation ago. Remember the past. Don't crave it's return because that will lead to disappointment and frustration and they in turn will show on the terraces. If this happens, then we stop being supporters and become the opposition. We can play our part and encourage the lads by letting them know we are still there for them AND the club! Here endeth the sermon!

Feeling positive or negative about your club is not a choice it's a reaction
I feel negative about our prospects for the season because of the chaos we are in, the lack of clarity from the boardroom, the signing of poor players and the fact we have a poor manager and now a lunatic side kick at the helm, make it the only logical reaction.
If tomorrow we are bought by Bill Gates who subsequently buys Messi, Ronald, Thiago Silva, Di Maria, Kroos, Lahm, Yaya Toure and Neymar, I won't half cheer up

Mendax, Why is there a lack of clarity from the boardroom?

We know the situation, we know Lerner isn't prepared to risk his wealth again chasing 6th place, we know the club is up for sale, we know we don't have a lot of money to spend.

What exactly do you want them to clarify?

It's all been said. Its all been clarified.
Right now it's all about waiting for a new owner.

The only one of those things we know for sure is that the club is up for sale
The rest we have second guessed and surmised ourselves
Lerner's pronouncements are always late and always lacking detail
That's what I mean by a lack of clarity
I hope that's clear enough

11.) 11 Jul 2014
No matter who puts the shirt on we will always support them from the terrace

12.) 11 Jul 2014
Good point mate. And that's exactly what we should all do, when we are on the terraces
When we are off them however, we should voice our concern as strongly as we possibly can
A club of Villa's size should not be in this state

13.) 15 Jul 2014
Hear hear!!

14.) 20 Jul 2014
We can also show our displeasure with our feet and not turn up

Just watched a re run of the dallas game, hutton played well again!n'zogbia was stunningly good free kick goal was a cracker I think he'll be massive this season, grealish had a mare and looked totally clueless on how to get into the game, looked like an overrated prospect, not worth the hype on this site. WAR VILLIAN
