Alpay said: 'They're making this statement to try to set the supporters against me. That's their approach. I love the fans and I know they love me.
'After our meeting we said we wouldn't speak about this and keep everything in- house. When I saw everything was announced on television, I knew who keeps secrets and who doesn't.
'They could have offered to make me the highest-paid player in the United Kingdom and I still wouldn't have signed. It's not the answer. It's not good enough for me because of the way they treated me last year. I've absolutely nothing lined up and will wait and see what happens.'
Alpay bears a grudge against the club after a row over who was liable to pay for treatment to his damaged ankle ligaments sustained in December
last year. Villa initially felt they were not responsible when the player finally travelled to Munich for specialist advice, incurring a £30,000 bill.
Villa did not benefit as the Premiership season was all but over. They felt the player should pay. That view was not shared by Alpay.
The row lingered on during the summer and is the principal reason behind the player's disquiet. But Alpay insisted: 'I feel sad to leave Graham Taylor. His approach is like a father's approach to his son. I respect him very much. He cares about me and respects me. Because of him it was a very difficult decision to make.
'I'll play on Sunday. I really want to play to prove I'm loyal to the manager and the supporters who treat me like a family member. I won't let the manager down while I'm still here.'
Alpay's agent Pini Zahavi has already been in Europe trying to find suitors willing to match the player's demands.
Zahavi said: 'Parma have expressed an interest in him, but that is as far as it goes at the moment.'
Such a move appears unlikely as the Italian club no longer appears to have that kind of money. Suggestions of a move to Leeds also seem wide of the mark, given their cash position and the political ramifications among the club's support of employing a Turkish international, since the death of two fans in Istanbul.
Taylor remained tight-lipped last night but will have to resolve the problem of Kachloul, who arrived on a free transfer last season.
The midfielder said: 'Recently things have gone from bad to worse. I was very excited about my move to Aston Villa from Southampton last summer and my first six months at the club were great.
'I was picked regularly for the first team, I put in some good performances and we were riding high in the Premiership.
'But towards the end of last season I barely got a look-in. I could have understood it if we'd had a winning team, but
in something like 14 games we only won three times and still I didn't get a chance.
'In the past five months I am the only player at the club not to have been given 90 minutes, which I find really unfair.
'However, I was prepared to put that all behind me and try to win back my place this season, but unfortunately nothing has changed.
'After being overlooked again in pre-season, it is clear I am not in the manager's plans.'
