No you're good my bro and I get your point, well put together I might add TBF that 2nd team albeit with a couple of youngsters thrown in, I think is still pretty strong given Pep ball is the way they're taught. I'd like to think Villa can fish from the same pool as Newcastle this transfer window with Emery selling our project, but UCL will inevitably have a better pull will certain players. Look it's all speculation at the moment with who we're in for, so I'm taking the stance of laying back and enjoying the ride UTV

Yeah that went through my head as well but they're going to need depth in quality to be playing more game next season, Man city can literally name 2 different sides with the depth they have. We obviously need more depth too, as we've been naming 2 GK's for a while. Just feel the UCL thing has more pull with players like Barnes, Maddison etc..

I'd love us to go for Barnes, but I think Newcastle may go in for him as well. If they do then UCL football wins I'm afraid

Would be a great signing if we are in fact in for him, obviously all speculation at the moment, still another 10/11 days before window opens.

Something we should've learned by now, over past few seasons, we seem to keep cards close to our chest and the 1st time we'll know is when Villa announce it. I used to get drawn into the 'ITK's' and what they'd put out, not so much now, not with us anyway. UTV

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I was a bit sceptical when his name was 1st mentioned to become manager, he came in and we seen some nice football being played, it was quick , it was fluid, Gerrard was saying exciting stuff too the media about our aims. I was like why are people worried that he may be using us a stepping stone for the Liverpool job, I was thinking well he hasn't proved anything yet in terms of his CV and if he does well for a few seasons and get's offered the Liverpool job then it'll be on merit and Villa will be left in a good position, but then get to March and we looked blunt and out of ideas. That's when you see a change in his post match interviews, the petulant, irky kind of responses to questions he should be getting asked. We look a bit more defensively solid but my god are we boring to watch, that was not good last night. What was the point of keeping Archer around if he's not going to get a chance against a team down to 10 men, what's he got to lose especially now we can use 5 subs (which he didn't use) Soon the noise from the terraces will be too loud to ignore for the owners

Wow some of the comments in here, didn't realise this was the 'championship manager 98/99' thread

I've never understood this 'Pro shirt' fit rubbish. Who cares just give us the normal fit

Yes it looks like Manchester

Those clubs you mentioned aren't changing kit supplier (don't shoot me if I'm wrong) plus not to mention they'll be the flagship partners for their brand. Just because we're Aston Villa, doesn't automatically give us the same right.

My god Villa Twitter is insufferable sometimes, we now have fans moaning 'oh it's not being released until July, don't they want to make money' What it actually says is the below (just a snippet) or see link https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/may/31/aston-villa-and-castore-sign-landmark-multi-year-partnership--/ 'The new home kit will be unveiled ahead of Villa’s pre-season tour to Australia in July' So what I read is, yes it's going to be unveiled before our Tour of Australia which is in July, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a July release, just that it's before. I mean June is before our tour of Australia in July

Monday 6th June would be my guess

Wow some of the comments in this thread are comical. It's a surprise some of you haven't been approached by the big clubs for your help Some of these threads are on par with the Twitter fan base. It's like we don't deserve nice things as Villa fans

My days if we pull this off for the money that's been reported yesterday, I mean who cannot like this. Gone from McCormick, Lansbury and Hogan to name a few to Ings, Coutinho, Chambers and Digne. We're defo levels above where we were and I'm confident Gerrard will get a tune out of this Villa side with a few 'ins' and 'outs' UTV

New kits are always going to split fans, I'm on the side of Happy with them. I like the simple look to them, there's something retro about them and there's lots of retro shirt being mass produced now from 'ScoreDraw' Lets just hope the fit is better LOL #UTV

Like we used to, oh how we can hope

I hear what you're saying, but I still think the saying of 'if you are good enough then you are old enough' How many of the so called bigger teams done this with youth players, I say why not.

Time for JWP and Damsgaard IMO

10 days to go before the start of the season and we still just don't know if Jack will still be a villa player come the start But there's still hope but it the hope that kills you

hmmm Where did you hear this? Not sure why we're so late this year seeing as shirt sponsor & make are the same. Gone are the days when we used to wear it last game of the season....Ahhh those were the days

The thing is with Kappa the 5XL is probably a normal XL for anyone else

Still my favourite kit this is

Those were the days eh, used to love that
