Cahill

 

In t'sun this morning that we have agreed a fee of ?4.5M with Villa for his services.

 

Hold your breath

A few more of these please..

 

A few more of these please..

 

 

Stick the fucker up front - ?5m is cheap for a decent striker

Looks like he's signed according to BBC breaking news.

Spoke to a Villa fan at work, his words were ' he's not worth that'.

 

 

I have just bought a terraced house in Heaton for ?120k. But it's not worth that!!!!!!

this seems like a ragging lot of money !

 

 

but i have no idea how good he is, got to better than what have been watching os far this season.

This is the problem of the January window; limited time to strengthen, we are in a desperate position, a club who does not need to sell and we are club with money to spend.

 

Wait until the summer and we could get him for ?2M max BUT we may well not be in the Prem then.

 

 

We all know the maths - ye ?4.5M is twice as much as he is worth but a drop in the ocean if we stay up when comparing next seasons Prem income v Championship income.

 

 

One thing to add - we are in danger of fielding a starting a XI with more home grown players than foreigners! Now - when is the last time that happened!!!!!??????

Have you not worked that one out yet? That's the idea and method of Megson.

Birmingham and Sunderland have also matched the fee we've offered.

thats us fucked then

thats us fucked then

 

Think he'll opt for Brum if its true thay have matched our offer. Think he'll stay int midlands

It will be between us and Brum. Taylor chose us over Sunderland and I'm sure Cahill will do the same. As for Brum they have more chance of dtaying up than Sunderland and he would also be in the Midlands aswel.

 

Personally I think if we offer him a decent wage then he will choose us.

Can we?

Campo can also be registered.

I also wasn't sure at first, but then ive not seen enough.

 

Most Villa fans seem to be p?ssed that hes going though.

Campo can also be registered.

I assume that we can register anyone after the group round then ? new signing Etc

At the end of each transfer window, you get the opportunity to lodge a squad of 25 names to cover you until the next window.

Campo wasn't registered on September 1st, so couldn't represent us in Europe until Feb 1st at the earliest.

thank-you old wise one

Happy to help: always a pleasure, never a chore!

Traf I may be wrong, but can you only change upto a maximum of 2? as in you must have 23 of the original 25?

 

Like I say, I might be wrong.

Sorry to say 'old wise one' that you are wrong on this one (and Garp is nearly right). From the UEFA website we have:

 

17.17 For all matches from the start of the round of 32, a club may register a

maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the

current competition. Such registration must be completed by 1 February

2008 at the latest. This deadline cannot be extended.

17.18 One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club

competition matches for another competing club in the current season may

exceptionally be registered provided that the player has not been fielded:

− in the same competition for another club,

− for another club that is currently in the same competition.

Furthermore, if the player?s new club is playing in the UEFA Cup, his former

club must not have played in the UEFA Cup at any point in the current

season.

 

So we can register Campo, Taylor + A N Other but not Steinsson (as he has played for AZ Alkmaar in this seasons UEFA Cup.

looking dodgy now

 

brum in for him , no need to move

 

sland in , will offer silly money

 

 

nows the time for gartslime to put up or feck off

looking nows the time for gartslime to put up or feck off

Hang about. We're already paying over the odds for him on account of his being English and us being desperate. Are you suggesting we should offer him an extra ten grand a week to stop him signing for someone else, or have you seen enough of him to be confident we'll have one of the top three defenders in world football on our hands in three year's time?
