You know, I honestly think he got fed up waiting for Utd or Whoever to come in for him, he knows where his bread is buttered and yes, its so pleasing to see Utds sneaky trick fail, rumour has it he was so tapped up he was actually going to put in a transfer request. Utd would then have Named the price not Villa, probably 50mill?
He stays a villa lad for a while, new buy out clause and also a clause to leave if relegated. I do not think that will happen with our recruitment, i feel better seasons for us and the Toon. The premiership needs clubs like ours, we have both suffered recently but now looking in better condition.
How do you guys see the new season shaping up? Obviously things for you could have been so different!
