  1. Very good game. We petered out after he went off.
  2. He needs to improve. At current Everton have increased the fee to £75m now they know how desperate we are.
  3. Just to be clear. Are you saying no chance whatsoever?

    Caught ball watching again for the goal. Don’t attack the ball and then wave my arms trying to blame someone else. Really has to be more aggressive in his play.
  5. I think he’s been ok today. We are so much better when he plays.
  6. My goodness. Not a great day for Matty. Terrible half.
  7. I suspect Targett will go in the summer and be replaced by a young left back to be understudy to Digne. Digne is a big upgrade on Targett. He is a much better player at both ends of the pitch. Supporting Villa hasn’t been this fun for decades.
  8. There may be but are they saleable? I think we could get a decent sum for AEG, maybe £10m, and we don’t really need him.
  9. I’m surprised that Norwich have not gone in for him. He would be an upgrade on their attacking options and Dean obviously knows him well. I thought they might sniff around a few of our players to be honest. Does anybody know if they have got any money?
  10. It’s not something I have heard of before but from a legal point of view, it’s easily done. They will need to ensure that the wording of both agreements is such that a breach does not occur in either agreement should either party execute their option to buy. That’s why I think it’s likely that we have first dibs but after a period of time our automatic right lapses. Ultimately if both teams bid the choice will be with the player anyway, so there might not even be an order of precedence.
  11. I really admire Bissouma as a player but I think you are right. Even if he is not found guilty or the charges are dropped, that does not mean he is innocent. It is incredibly difficult to prove sexual offences and on most occasions the perpetrator does not even get charged let alone found guilty. The fact that they are dragging this out for so long would suggest that they think there’s something in this, otherwise it would have been dismissed by now. Even if it does get dismissed, if he is guilty, then he will likely reoffend in the future. This perception that the criminal justice system is perfect and that guilty people get sent to prison and innocent ones don’t is a fantasy. As harsh as it might sound, it is better to avoid Bissouma and just get somebody else with a clean record.
  12. Agreed. Barcelona can agree whatever they want to with Spurs or anyone else. They are desperate to get rid of Coutinho and will be happy to have another option. I presume we will have a deadline by which to make the move permanent. If we miss it then Spurs will then likely have the opportunity to sign him.
  13. Page 2 and not a fish pun in sight! Come on people. We are supposed to be celebrating. Just thought I should b-roach the subject!
  14. Holy moly. I just exploded! Get in Villa. Massive kudos to Stevie G and Christian.
  15. I suspect he’s close to be being done at Villa. Gerrard wants consistency of performance and that’s highly unlikely with Bert. If he does go I have to admit that I will miss his ability to undertake moments of utter filth. Dirty Bertie will always live fondly in my memory whatever happens.
  16. It’s acceptable at any age so long as you have consumed 10 pints of Stella first!
  17. Can’t wait to see him go for an intricate 1-2 with AEG only for AEG to ignore the return in favour of smashing his shot into the upper tier of the Holte End!
  18. It’s very cold today. He’ll need a nice new villa puffer jacket.
  19. No. We would be on page 150 of fish puns
  20. If we pull it off (fell free to insert Kenneth) I think we may even win the Champions League this season!
  21. Exactly this. Look at the positive effect that Young has had on the squad. Experience is important.
  22. I genuinely can’t understand any negative vibes for this. Football is about excitement and anticipation. I will literally explode if we sign him! He is a top player, who may have lost his way but is young enough and has something to prove. He will also not want to let his mate SG down. This is huge.
  23. This would be the most exciting signing in my lifetime and I am 49!
