    I love Star Wars. And as long as films are being made based on the star wars universe, I’m going to watch them at the cinema and then probably purchase the digital copy. It was a big part of my childhood, and the fact that I thought it all came to an end a numbers of years ago was upsetting at the time. More films the better!

    That’s not really fair because he is the only player from that relegation team that we have retained, the others were a load of crap and didn’t care about Aston Villa. We lost our first two games this season because we are still settling in. We get a bit of rhythm and understanding - hey presto, a victory. Sod the 20 game loss thing. It means nothing. However, agreed that it is a team game, basics that every footballer learns as a kid. He is surrounded by other very talented footballers now, it might actually take some pressure off him.

    Dean Smith

    Tayls replied to Demitri_C's topic in Other Football

    The difference with Deano though is that, if he ‘loses the dressing room’, I’d rather sack the players than the manager. Dean stays for the long run in my view.

    A couple of people have put Grealish out wide on the left. I don't think this works. Grealish works best when he has the option of an LM overlapping or cutting in to give him an option or to take a defender away. He has to stay central, IMO.

    The average spend per player was about £10millon. (Not sure if you heard the interview with purslow, but he confirmed that - 12 new players, about £120millon spent not including add-ons). So, when you look at it like that we have bought 12 x 10million pound players to replace the 12 that we released at the end of last season. You’d expect that some of those were better quality than what we had previously, maybe, but they weren’t premier league proven. So, actually, I don’t think our expectations should have been that we will ‘do a wolves’ this season, but instead survival was what we are aiming for.

    Sheff Utd’s first game was Bournemouth away. They got themselves 1 point there

    Both Norwich and Sheff Utd pretty much showing us how it is done. Got a horrible feeling we are this seasons whipping boys, again... points going to be very hard to come by. Not sure what the reason is though; player quality, tactics, too many new players, not retaining enough of last seasons players?

    That’s the spirit!! This is what we need, can we get more of this in the chat please - More of this...

    wahhhh I would never!! Who was it who managed that last season for our 12 cup finals or whatever it was?
  11. Tayls
    Anyway you can go into some more specifics on the concept of matched betting, particularly using tools such as you describe above? I’m interested, but I don’t like the idea of a monthly subscription...

    I honestly do not think we have any concerns with that...

    I know it was changed for 2019, but wasn’t sure it was changed permanently? Makes a lot of sense as far as English leagues are concerned!

    The next AFCON will make for an interesting squad when that comes around next... provided the nations all make it of course. Benrahma? Trezeguet Nakamba Kodjia Elmohamady?

  17. Tayls

  18. Tayls

    The transfer fee situation at the moment is crazy. Yes we have spent a shed load, but we have bought lots of players for the outlay. We haven’t really gone way beyond our record transfer fee paid out for one player. Couple of mill probs, overall? It makes you wonder whether the board want to pay the prices that we are seeing for an individual player to show whether we are REALLY serious or not. My personal feeling is that we should look at a loan with an option to buy - for, 40/50m, if we can. We need to have one eye on the drop zone, so we should be prepared for that. Signing 40m players right now isn’t really going to help us if we do drop. Its quite interesting what is going on right now. Would love to be a fly on the wall in board room meetings with this lot.

    Surely, surely we can’t be in for a meltdown signing... can we?
