Was talking with a Scum fan on Sat night and said thay you'll get a couple of years out of him at most but was a quality player.

The response "Yeah, but we'll sell him on for a profit"

Yeh I can believe that, there's just no hope for most of them, not all i admit. But the majority are the most deluded fans in EPL football.

Just reading up on Vlaar (wanted to see how old he was and read the rest of his bio) and saw something quite interesting...



So their former captain changed his mind, then changed it again, and their fans didn't protest wildly?

That can't be right. If it was, it'd make Villa fans a group of hypocritical twatbags, surely.

or the media in there country don't go on and on about it or they might actually have fans that think for themselves unlike in this country where a majority of them are sheep..

It didn't work for Arsenal because the Suarez team misinterpreted the contract. They THOUGHT anything over 40m was enough to trigger a release clause, but it wasn't. It was enough to trigger negotiations, which Liverpool simply negotiated as 'we're not selling'. But of course, by then, they knew the Suarez team had leaked the 40m figure as Arsenal had made it so patently obvious.

It was a giant cockup from the Suarez party, and made Arsenal look silly in the process.
 
When Delph was first picked for England my first reaction was " what the #$% " but I ended up quite impressed with his performances, particularly that second game. He was not particularly brilliant at anything but he distributed the ball well, broke up attacks and looked comfortable running with the ball. I am looking forward to seeing him for City.

No. Liverpool confessed afterwards that Suarez did have the above £40m release clause. They pulled a fast one!

Heard Doggymore on Talkshite earlier... he's not a happy bunny, but to be fair to him he was angry that Villa agreed to such a low buy-out clause... as he said, £8mil - even teams like West Ham or Sunderland could have triggered that!

They couldn't have triggered it because that 8mil was only for teams in the Champions League. That was the catch, they thought the odds of a CL club coming for Delph was low enough to agree to it. Nobody told them that City were about to lose a lot of HG players.

Hope you invest the money wisely mate. I don't mind Villa as a club, and take no pleasure from seeing them struggle.

I do. Fuck em.

They're the rags of Birmingham. Entitled wankers with a snooty sense of superiority. "We won the European Cup once, biggest club in the world".

Fickle as they come too. Never been relegated in the PL era, but their attendances drop off hugely when they go through a poor spell.

I always recall them routinely booing their players off the pitch when they dropped a couple of points at home to a side they expected to beat, back when they were massively punching above their weight, squad wise, and pushing for a top four spot under O'Neill.

Also remember them celebrating Newcastle getting relegated at Villa Park in 2009, ridiculing them and celebrating their relegation with pre made banners.

They're the rags of Birmingham.

A relegation would do them some good, might learn some humility and lose the entitlement.

Fair enough, I was of the opinion that Arsenal were used as a stalking horse to draw out Barca.

Agreed that both didn't come out of it well.

I wonder if he had the royal penis cleaned before he set off.

Correct, and then Henry bragged about it afterwards.

The Liverpool owner John Henry has reportedly admitted that Luis Suárez did have a £40m buyout clause but that the club simply refused to sell the player when Arsenal made their £40m plus one pound offer last summer.
At the time Liverpool were adamant that the Gunners' bid would not trigger the release of their striker, but Henry, speaking at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, appears to have suggested that the Reds simply took a hard line because "apparently these contracts don't seem to hold".
"Luis Suarez is the top scorer in the English Premier League, which is arguably the top soccer league in the world," Henry is reported to have said. "He had a buyout clause of £40m. Arsenal, one of our prime rivals, offered £40m plus £1. What we've found … is that contracts don't seem to mean a lot in England – actually, in world football.
"It doesn't matter how long a player's contract is, he can decide he's leaving. We sold a player, Fernando Torres, for £50m, that we did not want to sell, we were forced to.
"Since apparently these contracts don't seem to hold, we took the position that we're just not selling.
"It's been great for Luis, it's been great for us. We have three gentlemen up front Suárez, [Raheem] Sterling, and [Daniel]Sturridge, [they] are young, I think those three could be together for a long time."

How's that working out for you Mr Henry?
