Southgate

Southgate wants to leave Villa cause he wants to play in the Champions league.

He's been yelping about wanting out of Villa for (Euro/CL play) for 2 seasons.

CL clubs haven't exactly been falling over themselves trying to sign him up. Or he hasn't moved for whatever reasons.

Now he's saying he doesn't want to play in Villa's Intertoto games because it would make him ineligible to play in Europe for any other club next season. Ok...that part makes sense...but...

If no CL club is coming in for him, or even UEFA Cup clubs for that matter, shouldn't he just make a decision on whether he's going or staying. If staying, play in his club's games and try to help them into the UEFA Cup(thereby achieving to some degree what he's been harping about for so long). If he's determined to leave, then maybe lower his sights a bit and see what clubs are interested in him and who seems to show the most promise to give him what he wants.

I dunno...I just can't help feeling there's something weird going on here. Like he maybe needs to jump off his fence. Leave and take a chance elsewhere. Or stay and deal.

I think the real problem here ciara is that Villa are pricing him out of a move. £7.5mm is an awful lot for a player of his age, and so far only Boro has shown a serious interest.

I'm certain that at around £4mm there would be plenty of takers.

Expect him to go to whoever doesn't get Campbell- Arse or Liverpool for around 4MILL, he wont come to us, a sideways move.

Ahhh....that makes a bit more sense then, Clarky. I'd forgotten the Satan(and Satan's boss(es) ) factor in all this.
