Good player on Football manager a few years back so must be a good payer.

You're getting him at his peak, not past his peak so I don't see the issue. Just turned 29 so 2-3 good seasons in his legs before you worry about whether he can hack the pace, if he can't do it now then he was never suited to the league. Yes it would be nice to "build for the future" more but you have 3 days to get in reinforcements and he's a good bet.

Course it will mate. Some folk on here have major reactions/melt downs purely on a game by game basis.

Not really, I'll continue to watch his press conferences and interviews and see if there is any sign of a lifting of his mood.

There is very little joy and positivity in his words and it's a case of hoping something happens to put him back in the right frame of mind. As I see it, we have a club figurehead lacking trust and belief and that's not a good place to be in any walk of life.

Or maybe you could try a positive thought instead of making everything so negative? A player who looks an improvement on our squad and signed with no risk and its negative?

Is it fair to say that DA's head been down this season based on the current transfer window? I think he has struggled with it mate, the only bloke that will get you up for the games is the manager! He had the same blokes at the club last season, actually a poorer squad but got them up for the run in and we got the required results.. Any decent manager/coach in the world gets their team up for the games, I reckon he's struggling a little with the lack of funds regarding transfers.. This does not make him a poor manager mind, the best ones get there teams up the games and the best outta them <ok> I believe in the General and I can see a positive result at villa..

Dick said in the echo today how he is shocked on recent managers poor signings, and the club are paying out for players he will not play. I reckon there will be hell on now, and the director of football as well as De canio and Poyet will be held accountable for this. There has to be in the future written in a contract that NO inferior players are to be signed, which of course has happened, and why this story has come up now and not over the last 40 years ago is a mystery. Ellis cannot run this football club and that is that, so it is time to get someone from the f a to investigate what is going on, the players are not interested, so they are NOT playing for this football club, so are not honouring their contracts as far as I am concerned. This will go down the road of Bob murray and "sack the board" etc will ring out. Dick will open a huge can of worms before he leaves, as he is the first experienced, knowledgeable manager we have ever had.

This ain't Advocaats fault man
He's been sold a dummy - same as the rest of us
The poor quality and high cost of the existing players is a rope around the club's neck. There is no room to manoevre

According to Ellis and Dick previous managers have signed average/poor player on high wages hence the club is in a mess and looking at relegation. Fair enough (although Ellis did oversee it all and signed off on players and wages) however what gripes me is the solution of still signing average/poor players on less wages!!! Yes the wages will reduce as will running costs but you'll still have a **** team staring relegation in the face! Poor excuse in my opinion.
Can only see one more **** loaner coming in now.
