Is the kid from Hull worth a gamble/

That Otavio reminds me a bit of Bernardo Silva.

From what i have seen of him, his best position seems to be on the left side of midfield, where Ramsey plays. 

But if all these £30k employees achieve above average pay rises, then because of the vast number of them, in comparison to the mega rich, then inflation will inevitably rise, interest rates will rise, and mortgages will rise, and house prices will go down.

So its not a simple class war situation. The average joe will lose out

Thats a good point tony.......Bellingham is talked up a lot, is only young so will develop, but he is a bit Carlton Palmerish

Glad we didn't get Phillips...........incredibly negative player.

Can't stand Southgate, why is Saka not playing LB with SJG in front?

Curtis Jones played well with Ramsey last night

Go for Raphinia now then

 JJ, PC, Raphinia.........not bad

Cowans was very good, but Hoddle was exceptional

Rather have Raphinia than Richarlason tbh. We need more pace up front.

Typical Villa fan reaction.

Why would he want to leave?

I think it showed today against a good team that he is not top quality, as PC is, but him and PC could play together, possibly with a better striker and at least 1 better midfielder behind him.

If he goes, he goes, hes goes. hes ok to me no more.

Villa fan 1st, Obsessive about the manager 2nd........unlike some on here. Get a grip

Nobody hates Lplop more than me. I did'nt want them to win the league today, so that is one good thing, and i hated SG as a player because he always scored screemers against us, but he is a winner, and we haven't had a manager with the right mentality since Sir Ron Saunders.

He can take us a long way imho

Against THE best team in the Prem, we proved that we have 6 players good enough, and 5 not.

All the back 4, plus Emi, plus PC are good enough against this opposition. McGinn is OK, at this level Buendia , Luiz, Watkins, look limited and need replacing.

Not disappointed today tbh, this game and the Lplop game show me that with good recruitment in the summer, and some of the youngsters coming through, we are closer than ever.

Kamara is certainly an improvement

1st goal probably, Luiz sleeping gave him no opportunity to react

He misses some chances does'nt he

For me , i'd sell him for anything over £30m

He was very good in the Euros

A definite upgrade on Konsa if that is the plan

Akanji is very good

Do you think another team would offer better terms then v4e?

As you say , he is 18

2 hours ago, OutByEaster? said:

He's our best midfielder. 

It doesn't look like he wants to sign a new deal, but I hope the club are doing everything they can to persuade him.

Not Ramsey, Coutinho or Buendia?

For me you learn more about your team when you play the better teams, Buendia, CC, and Countinho are good enough, Maybe Mcginn, Marvellous and Luiz not.

Watkins has no touch, and Ings has no legs,

Digne and Cash played well, Konsa and Mings are ok, Thats where we are,

Ramsey is good enough, as TimI might be as well

Luiz was playing on the right, all the attacks came down the left in the 1st half.

He is nowhere near as good as some of you think, Jones was far better.
