Villa knew that both would go this window and the money they would get. Hope that helps. Randy Lerner is spending nothing apart from what comes in through sales.
...and the award for the biggest u-turn of the year goes to... The French Tickler for: Villa have no wonga, to: of course Villa have plenty of wonga. The voices in my head told me this.
That's a lot of money for an average player, hopefully they still have a few million left to buy N'Doye!
Finished 4-1 to Real in front of an incredible crowd of 99,382. This Champions Cup Event has done wonders for Australian Soccer.
Jordan Rhodes has expressed his displeasure at not being allowed to talk to Middlesbrough. Did we actually bid for him in the PL? His statement is strange - it seems he may have an arrangement that as long as Blackburn make more than the £8m they paid for him, then he should be allowed to speak to other clubs. What's more so, he wants to test himself at the highest level? FFS they are in the same league Jordan!! They may well get promoted, but they are a Championship team. It makes me think we didn't bid.
The MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) commonly referred to as "The G" holds 100,024. The rest in Australia hold about half that but, should we have got the World Cup, there was money to be allocated on the expansion of most of these.
83,500 Stadium Australia, Capacity (The former Olympic stadium in Sydney, ANZ Stadium) So that is about half of 100,024? Did you fail maths?
I'm sure he'd have rather moved to a Premier League club, I think his comments now are simply him running out of patience.
Maybe, shame. I think him or Deeney would have kept us in the PL. I am tired of these 'gems' we unearth from abroad. We have a truly horrific track record with players from the continent. I would rather pay a premium for a proven UK player than the ****e we continually sign. The list is almost endless. In fact I'd sack whoever does our scouting abroad on the basis they are ****ing useless.
You've got an exclusive then, not a single English or Spanish rumour site has mentioned it. I suspect that's because it's not true. Sheffield Wednesday are close to signing Charlton Athletic left-back Rhoys Wiggins for £750,000.
There's been plenty of stories about them bidding for Bale, Ronaldo and even Messi on several sites, but they're generally just speculative nonsense. Only the Ronaldo one is being taken remotely seriously and even then, not that seriously. .
