Cuellar Fee Agreed with Villa - �£8million

[Guest ackbar]

yes, you're actuallly right too. my only point is, if we start becoming too sensible about all this then we might as well call the whole thing off.

 

I agree with that, on the same token if we become/remain too partisan about it then we limit our horizons and we will get left behind.

 

Rivalry should not be the main definition of our Club, as then it becomes unhealthy.

 

Anyway, back on topic. What about that Ugly Bassa Cuellar being sold from underneath our noses by that inept twosome who 'run' our club!

 

Ps we are all in bad spirits just now mate

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has revealed the club 'came close' to signing Carlos Cuellar from Rangers.

 

Spanish defender Cuellar completed his �£7.8million transfer to Aston Villa on Tuesday, penning a four-year contract with his new club.

 

However, Pulis has confirmed that Stoke were in the running to land the 26-year-old's services before they lost out to their Premier League rivals.

 

"Yes, we did come close to signing Rangers star Carlos Cuellar," Pulis told The Sentinel.

 

"We did make inquiries and I was more than confident. But once you hear that a club of Villa's size are in for him big time you clearly fear the worst.

 

"Of course it's disappointing, but there is no point dwelling on it. We are out there not just looking, but making serious attempts to bring new faces in.

 

"No-one needs to tell me what we need and when we need it by, but I will not be panicked into doing the wrong deals for this football club. And by wrong I mean in a footballing and financial sense."
