Sign that **** keeper up

Is this 4-5-1 or 3-5-2 again...

Kodija not in squad for Dresden game?

Not in the squad for today's friendly 

Seems to be a weird approach from the club not announcing it?

He's 6ft **** 7..

Cracking photo if lansbury...

I've been told that whilst due diligence is taking place no one can leave as they are all assets of aston villa...

So basically neither grealish or Chester will leave until further notice 

Play all the strikers....gosh that was so 2017...

Play all the RBS!

Dare I also say I don't think the build up to this for us was very smooth..... Alot of distraction for managers and players... need to focus on the football now.. onto Saturday

It's clear to see that we'd need a rebuild if we went up, but we all knew that anyway.

I think the lads did alright today. Yes there were some silly mistakes leading to some goals, but we're not going to play many teams better than West Ham this season.

If we play like we did today against a typical Championship side I feel we'd come out on top 9 times out of 10.

We do need to strengthen in areas and we'll hopefully do that over the next week, but losing to West Ham while still looking somewhat decent at times is promising.

Pretty well sums up how I see it too.... Kodija still frustrates me but he's too good when he's at his best to leave out 

Can't make up my mind on formations.... against stronger opposition it's a problem but could work in  championship as in theory we are the stronger team in most games 

Alot of lads have worked hard tonight despite the gulf in class. Clear to see we're not a prem team anymore.

Green, Gardner and Knibbs working hard when they came on instead of the casual drifting of Kodija was refreshing.

Don't think we will see Snodgrass return to VP either, playing well for WH in pre season.

Some people on this forum need to realise we are not the premiership club we once where.

He deserves the opportunity to put right what we missed out on last season. We came very close last season and until that is out of sight this season Bruce has my full backing...

Kinda disappointed we haven't heard anything one way or the other.  Not only on Bruce but on transfers (more importantly Grealish).

I'm led to believe that no transfers will happen as we are under due diligence.... but yes frustrating on the Bruce front 

Pretty sure he's a keeper now and no statement will be made...

I'm confused... doesn't take much...

But why is Aston Villa under Recon Sports Limited on the companies house website? 

Have Sawiris and Eden bought Recon Sports? Or have they bought Aston Villa which is currently being floated as Recon Sports?

I see the company house website has a historical overview back to the Lerner era, however it is titled Recon Sports...

We will trade as Recon sports until sawiris is in control and renames us.. I'm guessing that won't happen until due diligence is complete.

Sawiris is now Director and Ho is gone according to Companies house 

Just to add an interesting side. Sauces close to the club (as in ex player) reckon he stays. 

It's gonna be an interesting day.

I guess we will find out tomorrow. If Bruce is in the dug out for West ham I'd be thinking he's staying...

Everyone's talking like he's signed...

Have I missed a trick?
