Looks like it has kicked off again. Bloody hell, calm down people, it's all going to be ok :)

Good load if ITK today too!

Does anyone else feel a bit indifferent to David Villa? I mean, he's a very good player and will score a few goals for us and I'd be delighted to have him. However, even if we buy him it'll still feel like we're missing something. Our new number 9, to be precise!

It's like going to a restaurant and ordering small lobster salad to start with. Sure, it's exquisitely good but you're left still hungry and wondering whether you'll have enough money for the big steak you came in for.

To be clear, that was an analogy not a fat person joke...

You are just being analog isn't now!

@Teddy

Dawkins will be given an opportunity to prove himself he is a personal fav at the club of a few coaches and was very impressive in December 2012 when he returned for training. Really hope he makes it, real deserving person.

Funny story about Dawkins loan to Villa. Villa originally contacted San Jose as nobody realised Dawkins was contracted to us. They then contacted us and asked us for him on a real cheap loan (at this stage Dawkins was due to move back to San Jose permanantly they even had interviews and press conferences complete! You can find these online im sure.) We worked everything out in about 45 minutes as it was against the clock and we were getting a 100k loan fee. After signing him one of their officials said they were ecstatic to get a young right winger to cover injured marc albrighton.

Turns out Aston Villa signed Dawkins off of an internet scouting report! They had no idea he was 25, no idea he was actually a central midfielder and no idea he is left footed! This is why he got so little game time as they did not need a player in that position.

Not as funny as George weahs "cousin" who played under Souness but funny all the same.

Cheers mate! As a few have said its a bit strange that at 25 he is still getting a chance but as you say there are some that like him so will wish him well and hope it works out!

WTF were villa playing at?!!

Your critique of my methodology is doubtless well-meaning, but in making it you assume that I wish to be popular and in doing so must be circumspect in what I write. I couldn't actually give a fuck what those people think of me and have no wish to be nice to people who consider it to be 'cool' or funny to aim gratuitous insults at those who they judge to be in some way inferior to them.

If what I have written has upset some and goaded others into confirming themselves to be twats, then so be it. Sometimes my level of tolerance of ego-driven fools and their ignorant 'phobic' comments is exceeded.


This is the ITK thread. We are all twats.

Dawkins must be one of the longest serving players at the club? I don't remember what age we got him at but I'm sure he was in the accademy ages ago. Hopefully he makes it somewhere.

Just to pick the bones of a few things been mentioned....

In the squad nobody mentions Simon Dawkins who has just signed a new one year contract with the club.

Zeke Fryers sadly I need to make this clear because there is a big illusion that the player is knocking on the door of the first team which is simply not true. Towards the end of the season McDermott,ramsey, mckenna and Sherwood discussed the possibility of releasing Fryers that is how bad he has been. It does not help that he is the highest paid youth player at the club and paid higher than the likes of townsend and Livermore. The boy is such a nice bloke but it just is not working for whatever reason.

The situation with Swindon Town is we have a coach who is good friends with big Kevin Macdonald and we also tried to sign Macdonald as a youth coach after he left Aston Villa. We are looking to loan them players as Macdonald is one of the best for nurturing youth. An unofficial feeding club if you will.

Adebayor I will happily give everyone a go on my girlfriend if he leaves....never gonna happen. I was there the day he turned up at the hotel after his unauthorised holiday (after the African cup of nations). 6.30pm Marriott hotel, W.A and he walked in the meeting room with a wry smile. The most unprofessional player I have ever come across. Sadly like Bentley we are stuck.

Hope everyone is alright tonight.


What's your girlfriend like ?

Just need to know so we can evaluate your info.

Sorry W.A is a place it is not too hard to figure out although I cannot say the name though as I will officially give away our team hotel!

On the subject of Adebayor I can assure you the stuck in Africa thing was a lie that was printed in one newspaper. He got caught out lying when he returned, he was fined 2 weeks wages and fell out with the squad. He was then summoned in front of Levy and fellow directors. I am not a negative person but I cannot think of a positive word to say about him on a personal or professional level.

Just to be clear I am not here to irritate anybody or step on anyones toes. I chat football aswell as sharing info. If I irritate anyone I will leave no questions asked but you all seem like a great bunch. :)

Not nice stuff about Adebayor. But not surprising. DOn't know if a guy like him is good to be a part of our unit. For me attitude is very important. Something Dempsey has and Ade not.

Hopefully he will at least score constantly next season.

We are, aren't we? :D

Seriously though, anyone who badmouths SC usually does it after being banned, and its always been done for good reason. Probably one of the most relaxed sites going.

Thanks, I thought it was a person!

Shame about Ade, I did quite like him but reading that it is hard not to be angry and upset. Frustrating also as I think talent wise he is the best striker at the club by a long way.

Thanks for all the info about current players, I'm sure I speak for everyone that we all appreciate it. Transfers is what people love in here though (as you can see each daily thread gets a lot of posts)

I'm pretty sure I know what it is - is that Marriott really our official hotel!? It looks a bit... underwhelming.

Welcome aboard LLM. I can't think of anywhere better to have intelligent conversations about football. Some very knowledgeable people on this site.
