I am definitely not ITK but I had lunch with a mate today who is well connected at Rangers. He says that we have contacted Rangers about Nathan Patterson. He reckons Rangers will sell at the right price, likely to be around £10m. He also says that Patterson is going to be a top player. Take it with a pinch of salt if you like but I thought I would share. It might lead to nothing but it does indicate that Gerrard might want some competition for Cashy and Patterson has only just turned 20.

So pleased for Trez. He is a top bloke and I can really see him being effective as a 10 under Gerrard. He is one of the best pressers at the club and he does love that back stick!
-
It’s not a great draw but Utd are very beatable. We got this.

Winning twice at Old Trafford in the same season will be most satisfying. UTV!

Jinxed it!

He was good today. Not perfect but he was good. He always shows for the ball which is key to our forward transitions. He is getting better every week. He works really hard and he does have incredible vision. His execution let’s him down at times but the rest of our midfielders don’t even see the passes that he is failing to execute.
-
He’s fine for now Cashy but there are elements of his game that really need to improve. If he doesn’t improve them, he will get replaced in the next year or so. The same could be said for Targett too.

Ha ha. That’s so unlucky mate. In all the excitement of my boys birthday I forgot to take my own advice and make the bet. I did have to pop out and pick up a takeaway though and ended up watching the last 10 minutes in a local pub surrounded by Leicester fans. It was most enjoyable!
-
Have they changed the clear and obvious element of using VAR to overturn a decision? There’s no way you can say that it’s a clear and obvious mistake. It’s way too subjective. It’s also a decision that should not be decided on a freeze frame. They should have played it in real time. Having said that, we have been poor. Big improvement needed in the second half or we will lose this.

Nobody is thinking that Nick. Spin it like that to suit your narrative if you like but it’s not representative of the reality

I have just watched a YouTube video of his best Villa saves. What a keeper. He’s the best I have seen in a villa shirt and he’s certainly earned his corn over the past 18 months! He just seems to get us as well. He loves us and we love him! He’s worthy of a new contract in my view.

Man City can afford to carry these players because their income is so much greater than ours. We have to be smarter with our expenditure otherwise we will fall foul of FFP. We have to box clever. I’m sure we would all love to keep Danny Ings around just in case but can we really afford to be so profligate? It’s not small time, it’s sensible.

Favourite post of the week
-
Surely you can’t drop Marv. He has been superb and is key to our upturn in form. I would go for the same three as Wednesday to start. Great to have some options though!
-
It’s my son’s seventh birthday on Sunday. He was born in Leicester on a weekend where we actually played Leicester at Villa Park. We went one down and all the nurses were giving me stick because I had bought my son a villa baby grow and they were all Leicester supporters. We can back to win 2-1! That’s gotta be a good Omen. Get your money on 2-1 Villans. UTV

I think we should keep Chuk in the 10 role. He is perfect for the position. He also brings a bit more control and physicality to our team, more so than our other 10’s. He may well develop into a great 8 but for now, if we are going to get him minutes, it should be as a 10. If he can get a goal I think we will see him really progress quickly.
-
He’s had a decent half but should have headed their first goal away.
-
Buendia has actually done some good things but he then messes it up by being incredibly sloppy. So frustrating
-
We totally lack pace and physicality everywhere which means we can’t get near them. There have been some promising signs though but the final ball has totally let us down. We need to be more direct and challenge for second balls. Big second half incoming.
-
Like that team selection. Excited to see what they can do. We should be able to stay compact, challenge City to break us down whilst being a threat on the break.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
M_Afro replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
I hope we don’t boo him. I really do. It’s just so small time. I fully appreciate what he did for us but I also fully understand why he had to leave. Whatever happens now isn’t going to change anything. Let’s just enjoy our new Villa, post Grealish and get behind our lads. UTV. COYVB -
I didn’t realise they were so close in age. It looks as though Tim is 2.5 years younger. Maybe have Doucoure for a couple of years with Tim as the successor. Then hopefully sell Doucoure at a large profit.
-
I hope we may renew our interest in Cheik Doucoure. He is exactly what we need to play six. He is so good at winning the ball back, he’s physical but he can also play. Still young too. If we could sign him and McKennie the energy in our midfield would double instantly.

I wonder if we will go back in for Cheik Doucoure in Jan. He is young but always looks good.

Was it definitely sexual assault? I would be very surprised that Brighton are still picking him if that’s the alleged offence
