From: Darren Bent V.2

It's become a matter of great discussion, about how important Darren Bent is to our future prospects and success. For what it is worth, if we had Young and Downing supplying from the wings, I would have Darren Bent in the team every single week. The problem is, we do not create the chances Darren thrives on, and thrived on under the attacking threat from both Downing and Young. Simply, without the ammo, Darren is less of a threat. In my eyes, we cannot risk playing somebody who offers so l

Dark days are coming

I've seen some really bad things happen at Villa, in my time as a fan. Losses in league cups to lower league teams (Scunthorpe, Sheffield United) but I have never felt so deflated and depressed as I do at this moment. Don't get me wrong, Bradford deserve their massive achievement 100% and I wish them all the best for the final. But whilst this is their finest hour, this is also my clubs darkest hour and I am not sure we can pull this around in time to save our premiership status. It is

From Leicester to Leicester

It was the 14th of February this year, when the Sherwood love affair with Villa started. The following day saw the first signs of Sherwood's influence, when he visited the dressing room at halftime to help inspire the team to a 2-1 win over Leicester in the cup. Before that, we were heading for yet more disappointment - with another frustrating first half performance, the sort we were used to under Lambert. But after leaving his seat in the stands and giving a morale boosting talk, a different V

    • Makes it too easy for journalists, to be honest Slot machine Time slot Coin slot Expansion slot Mail slot Wrong slot (that's for you @rjw63) Slot racing Then there is the "clever" use of slot instead of snot Slot rocket Slick as slot Slot nosed Beat the ever living slot out of them
    • Wonder if after Klopp leave he'll slot right in
    • Yep I think this will be the case too. The other Midlands muppets always help them them out, see Coventry's non league standard performance Vs them recently 
    • Summerville's price would be interesting particularly as Villa were watching him aged 16. At the same time as Ryan Gravenburch and Amadou Onana. 3 good pick ups they would have been but times were a bit different then.
    • Now that we are definitely saying at VP we need to understand the long term plan. Adding 1,500 hospitality seats is meaningful to us at the moment (will be worth multi millions over a year) but in the grand scheme of things is a drop of water in the ocean. We have to replace the North stand and the Doug Ellis asap as that’s where the huge match day commercial opportunity lies .
    • Lo Celso is a superbly gifted player, technically exactly the type of player Emery seems to love. Im not really saying we should or shouldnt be in for him as a squad player, but he is technically superb and i have personally thought he has looked very good whenever i have seen him play for spurs. maybe he is inconsistent and not overly good at times, dunno, but when i have seen him, he is very easy on the eye.  
    • @lainux in addition ...   A lot of people have suggested that there is room for extra seats in the current footprint.  There used to be more anyway, so why couldn't they be reintroduced? Profile/rake can be modified, and concourse gaps can be filled. There is 100% the possibility to add 700+ seats without moving anyone out their current seat. There may well be the opportunity to add even more.  I dont think it's a given that they will force anyone to move.  Call me naive, but I reckon the ~1300 Heck mentions is mostly new seats. It aligns with the total capacity they're claiming we'll have,  and aligns with his latest comments about keeping costs the same for everyone currently there, but increasing them for those that are willing to pay a surplus. The relatively small percentage that isn't moving people, will hopefully be those seats that usually go on general sale. It's easily done, and I really think Heck has learnt his lesson from the lower grounds debacle.  
    • He seems to have done nothing at spurs because he keeps getting dropped for no apparent reason after a pretty good performance. Emery, having worked with him and extolled his virtues before, seems to know he's a brilliant player.  If we go back in for him,  I trust that it's because Emery thinks he'll improve our squad, and Monchi thinks we'll be able to get him for a relatively decent price. If we dont sign him,  then fair enough, but if we do it's because he'll be a good value addition to our squad.
    • I don't think it's odd, since Unai came in signings have been made on the down low, we barely hear anything and then bam signing done. I think that with Monchi here now, targets will have been identified and we will go about our business as quietly as possible. We are in a new era now, we don't **** about and I for one am happy about. Gone are the days of us being linked with every possible player looking for a move and then being disappointed when inevitably they don't sign for us. I feel very confident we will sign one if not two new fullbacks, if the deals can be done without having our pants pulled down.  
    • And the weirdest thing about what he's done is that the leaked badge and the AU500 have absolutely fk all in common.  They're totally alien to each other. On brand? My arse.
