dking Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I read about this earlier and I'm not ashamed to say it put a lump in my throat. It certainly puts things into perspective. Good on the lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insipidus Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Regarding Ince, have we not learnt our lesson when it comes to players playing well for a year in the championship? Proper desperation buy, particularly for £6M. Look abroad ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foofighter23 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 funny seeing the transfer gossip today seeing all these top players linked to man u, city, arsenal etc and our hopes are dashed in signing another young unestablished player...

SCIAG Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Ince could be s great signing, already bossing the Championship and still young so will probably develop further.Think you are underestimating the league here as Shane Long/Cahill/Jagielka/Lescott/Adam Johnson/Joe Allen/Ox Chamberlain and a lot more players gave come out the league. His attitude and age makes it a lot more promising too. Fits Brendan's style well too. Oxlade-Chamberlain only played a couple of games in the Championship. Tim Cahill hasn't played in the Championship for 8 years, Jagielka and Lescott haven't for six, and Adam Johnson was already an established PL player when Middlesborough got relegated. Scoring 13 goals from the wing in a whole Championship season is a great achievement, let alone less than half a season. Ince has been "flavour of the month" for at least 18 months too. So I agree with your general point, I just think you made it really badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emersonlfc Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Excited for tomorrow. Finally some positivity going into a game and I hope we can take full advance of a super comeback last time out and build on it. Fresh and rested Suarez aswel so I hope he can take the game by the scruff of the neck and bang a few away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foofighter23 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 im with SSN a little here tbh. setting ourselves up for a fall expecting to roll over AV and virtually everyone expects a comfy win. sure a 3-0 win would be on the cards in the past but it could just as easily be a 1-3 disaster the way some games have gone this season or another frustrating draw. i'm more hopeful than expectant these days.

foofighter23 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 i think the team today will be, reina gj,sk,da,je lucas gerrard allen downing suarez cole though bib theory has downing lb and shelvey front 3 for enrique. hendo is doing fine coming off the bench for now though i wouldnt mind at all if allen gets rested for him.

Fancy Gaffot Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'd rest Allen (would love to see Sahin-Lucas-Gerrard midfield) and play Suso today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleys Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 No room for Sterling in either of those two teams above then? From a Villa point of view, i hope Downing plays left back, although still think you'll win even if he does play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshyboy1984 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 As if we can afford to leave out our best winger. He's had the full week of conditioning and preparation, no mid-week game. I don't really see what others see in terms of fatigue anyway. For me he's been starting games slowly but becoming our main threat in the last 20 or minutes. That doesn't really indicate fatigue to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
