If i remember right he said that when a top manager comes in for you. you cant turn him down. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11677_6962557,00.html Well Houllier has now has left. I hope Downing & Young are behind him. Enjoy it Dazzler
I really do hope Young and Downing leave. Might sound bitter but I just don't want to see greedy pillocks like B£nt succeed. With the manager though I reckon they could bring in a better manager than Houllier. He never really convinced many people and they (like us) were lucky to finish in the top 10.
It does sound bitter, but **** yeah i agree. They are leaving , make no mistake. Bent can blow smoke rings at my helmet, the twat.
I would love it just love it if he's in another relegation battle with all the best players leaving And would be awesome if we got some lol maybe Bent for £5m
Downing and Young were the players he mentioned after signing "When I go there and saw the quality players like Downing and Ashley Young I couldn't believe how lucky I was" well how lucky are you now - hope they all leave and poor Darren is sat with his second rate managerless team fighting to be the second club in xx years to stay up after being bottom at Christmas!! gr££dy Ba$tard
If Houllier's gone, those two might easily change their minds. It depends on who they bring in as replacement manager, I suppose.
Na they have both categorically stated they wanna play Champions League. Not only are Villa not init, they have no prospect of getting there anytime soon.
Can see Young staying because I dont think he is top 4 material but Downing I can see heading to Liverpool/Arsenal
Young is far superior to Valencia IMO, i can see him going United. I personally think Young is a cracking player.
Sorry but are you seriously suggesting Downing is a better player than Young? Ashley Young will definitely be leaving Villa and will almost certainly join United although if that falls through Liverpool will take him. Downing has an outside chance of getting a move to Man City or more likely Liverpool, however Liverpool are not a top 4 team and he is unlikely to get Champions League football there.
Totally disagree, Liverpool will be a top 4 team next season, and downing could well help them do it.
Agreed. I think next season could see Arsenal slip out. City and Chelsea won't because they'll throw money at their problems, mightn't win the league but it will get them champions league football. United are a distinctly average side, considering they're champions, but they know how to win. Arsenal are an overrated side who play beautiful football but choke.
I disagree about Liverpool - I think Kenny has got a lot of hype but he took over a club fighting the bottom 6 and had no pressure on him and got lucky. I personally don't think they're as good as people are making out. Same top 4 again next season I think and I think Liverpool will be hard pushed to beat Spurs to 5th As for Downing and Young - Young I think has ability but is a nightmare on the field with his constant diving and complaining to referees. Downing - Have rated him since he played for us and would have him here in a second but I think bigger fish may want him (if not then stick a bid in Brucie and stick one right up Darr£n B£ent!!!
i wasnt happy when db left but what really p*****d me off was the bulls**T he came out with great players,fantastic manager etc why didnt he tell the truth,he was offered more money and me personally would not have had a problem with that reason,imo short term it didnt work but long term were best rid of him
Don't fall for his spiel. Who was this great manager in Turkey? Who was in Turkey to provide him with such great service? He has got his money now, I doubt he would even care if the whole club fell around him.
