And Borja Baston trying to ridiculously win a header that another player (can't remember who) was about to win anyway, ended up losing it and that led to the Engels error.

It really did. What a cameo!

Somebody said it in the Brighton friendly thread and it rings true. I think he’s a worse player now than when he joined. I genuinely do.

He looks unfit, slow, lethargic and doesn’t affect games at all really. He’s ok at running around and tackling people and I actually think he’s suited to seeing out games if we’re leading, but that aside, I think he’s regressed and he’ll be a bit part player from now on. Somebody we bring on with half hour left. 

I think he needs a move. Id be surprised if he wasn’t thinking the same. He has a value and I think we need to try and achieve that value in either Jan or the Summer. Whatever that figure is.

Peppa pig in German mate

My little un has the rona

Hope he/she is better soon

Did anyone else manage to catch Teletubbies at 4.30am this morning? Really good episode.

I thought we were done when Spurs did us last minute...another game we were leading but didn't believe we could win and eventually lost to Son 94th minute goal.

Just shows what can happen when you add a bit more experience in your team with 20/21 as we were generally far better seeing games out when winning.

That Engels mistake still haunts me. And probably him. Effectively ended his career here.

Gunishment? 

Superb. 

QPR may as well sign Gerrard and be done with it.

I love JJ.....but,

To improve, he needs to stay on the ball a bit more.

He has a tendency to lose possession too easily, in dangerous positions to the team, to be rated much higher.

I think it’s something, he can improve on, some tweaks and he can be up there, with the best....He is not far away.

You could be describing Buendia here. I think Ramsey looks after the ball much better.

Ramsey and Bailey are hugely important to the way we play. He'll be a loss in our system. 

Nicely worked FK! Mad OG.

Well, that was very poor.

I'm going to drop a truism here and say that teams who can't play out from the back really shouldn't try to play out from the back.

We're not going to stop doing it. It's painful to watch and it will cost us more goals, but that's the way it's going to be.

well that was crap defending, wth was chambers doing there.

'Here we go mate, have a goal'

Chambers has been very poor this season tbh. I really thought he was hard done by not to play more but he's been very bad at times lately. 

McGinn is such a passenger in our set up. He's the worst player on the pitch by a mile.

These sort of takes are genuinely 15 years out of date.

 

 

I agree. 

It's great having pace and power. Watkins, Ramsey etc. but you also need guile and the game in this country has moved on. It's not just about bringing in Steve Sidwell and John Carew and trying to bully teams, we need to have better footballers than our opposition. Felix would help that I'm sure.

Wait so they wont accept £15 and a pack of crisps for him? Shocker  

I know, right?!

I watched him live back in 2018 for Benfica and he was absolutely special.

He got a transfer to the wrong team though, from what I read at the time he didn't want to go too far, he was still very young.

He is a sensational player, he is better than Buendia, probably on par with prime Grealish, and he would slot in to any European team.

In my opinion, it's unlikely he comes to Villa. 

Whoaaaa, be careful what you say on here. Buendia is the second coming of Christ to most..

I’ve been thinking more and more about our team in February and there are a lot of decisions to make…

Personally, id go with this….

————————Thuram————————
———————Félix———————————
Chukwueze———————————Bailey
———————Luiz——Kamara—————

Then bring Ramsey, Buendia and Coutinho on in the second half.

He will cost around £50mil

He's in 150k a week. 

Not that big of a transfer 

Messi understands ball.

I understand that but the big elephant in the room though is the cost, we aren’t even in that league or even close.  

Yes we have incredibly rich owners but we have FFP considerations and our financials are not that of a club that can purchase a Felix. Unless his club took a massive loss on his fee that they paid, even greater than 50% and he took a reduction in wages, he’s well out of our league financially.  

This can’t be possibly a real option.

You’re probably right tbf. We’d have to get rid of at least Ings and Coutinho to be able to afford this bloke (I’d Imagine). No way anybody is taking Ings off us. 

That said, we do pay Digne £150k a week. That tells me we’re happy to pay it if we can.

Hilarious that this is still open

Have some faith.

My main concern with J. Felix is how he’ll settle in alongside Thuram.

You’re a legend for even opening the thread given recent form. 

Recent form?! I’m hot property, thank you very much.
