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.

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.

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.

It is all ridiculous now. Real Madrid do not have the money to buy bale.
A bit like Juventus claiming they will buy all these world class players yet could barely scrape 7 million together for tevez. In comparison Cardiff spent 8 million on there latest signing.
Real still owe us about 20 mill for Modric, they are in no position to buy Bale.
Come September 2nd we will all be laughing at us signing a real Madrid player and Bale staying.
