  1. Wow, hell of a way for him to trash his reputation by backing this doomed Rashica transfer
  2. Big Keith was tweeting positively about villa yesterday. Still a fan it seems.
  3. He won’t get a contract that good for the rest of his career. Shows what happens when the average wage in the squad starts the rise. Even average youth players expect a big wage.
  4. They got me. Need to stop search Rashica on Twitter and do some work
  5. welp EDIT: looks like a joke account judging by the twitter handle. All is well
  6. Who wants tenuous links to give false hope? I do!
  7. Probably been told he is not in our 25 man squad so this is the fairest thing to do if we couldn’t negotiate a sale or loan. Good luck to the guy, has a touch of class but missing a yard (or several yards) of pace for the premier league. His pass for Wesleys goal against Everton will always be remembered.
  8. Rule 1 of management. Don’t change a winning team.
  9. I’d go same team as last week. If it ain’t broke... We need to be compact and keep our shape without the ball. If we can limit Liverpool to crosses from deep then it nullifies much of their threat. If they are able to run at our defenders or get in behind we are screwed as Mane and Salah are world class at what they do. They are playing a suicidal high line in their first few games so looking forward to some long through balls and a good foot race between Watkins and Van Dyke.
  10. Poor game last night but the whole team was thrown together and had a stinker and it’s easy to get dragged down a level in teams like that. When he’s put in with our best 11 I know he will perform better. Foreign signings generally require time and patience to hit full form anyway, so even in the best case scenario he will take time to bed in. Any fans writing him off already are embarrassing themselves.
  11. Would love the power cube at villa. He’s a decent attacking player and wasted at Liverpool as he barely makes the 18.
  12. An unspeakably bad performance on what might be his last start for us ever. What a strange 5 years it has been. I wonder where he will end up next?
  13. I think villa fans are skewed on this subject as in recent years we have been barely able to field a good first 11 let alone any quality on the bench, so we have a belief that good players wouldn’t possibly accept sitting on the bench and that this would somehow disrupt the good vibes in the squad. Now that we are becoming a well run club, good players and competition from the bench should become the norm.
  14. Liverpool also have Jota and Shakiri as attackers. They actually have really good strength in depth that we should try and replicate. Shakiri doesn’t make the bench some weeks!
  15. Has Dean done his presser for Stoke yet? We’ll probably get confirmation of whether our business is done or whether there could be one more.
  16. Even if he had a blinder for us I’d be surprised if he went back into the Chelsea First team long term. Chelsea are all about making the shiny new signings every year so they will no doubt but another CM Next window and we can convince Ross to join us permanently if he has a good year here.
  17. I don’t think Purslow’s promise about no loans to develop other teams players applies to Barkley really. At his age Barkley is as developed as he’s ever going to be really and he isn’t struggling for fitness or form like the disastrous Drinkwater loan. I hope there is an option to buy but if we got 1 or 2 loans of this quality every year, I’d still think that’s a pretty good way to run a club.
  18. Incredible! Instant improvement to the starting 11.
  19. He goes to prison for headbutting Jota tomorrow
  20. Very little chance of signing a centre back I’d say. I don’t understand why we would move Engels on and swap like for like when we have much more pressing issues in midfield. Engels has been fine barring his mistake against spurs. Certainly good enough as a backup to Konsa, and is about to come back from his injury according to Smith.
  21. Thank god we’re in to the last 7 days of this window. I wonder what percentage of signings happen in the last week and last 24 hours in a window?
  22. Ha I think this post and the Chris Dolan tweet are the new low point for desperation for ANY transfer news in this thread
