  1. I'd spend 5m on him, max. His wages wouldn't be above 40k a week. And even that is a stretch.
  2. Leverkusen will get ripped apart in the Summer. Whoever owns the club is going to make a lot of money in the Summer. I think we need to be clever with our transfers. Maybe spend big on 2 players with the intention of them being first teamers and pad out the squad with free transfers of high quality. If we want to be ballsy, maybe we sell a couple (Luiz and Ramsey) and roll the dice with some Monchi magic. Being in the CL will make us much more appealing. Main focus still needs to be on shifting the 6/7 players that have no future here.
  3. The way I see it is, it’s pretty much done if Arsenal go through.
  4. We need another 5 points in my book. It then becomes virtually impossible for anybody to catch us. United as an example would need 17 points from 7 games. 5 wins and 2 draws or 6 wins. No chance. 2 wins Villa, 2 wins. Not even that. We should go all out to beat Bournemouth and we’re almost there!
  5. That Archie Gray at Leeds will turn into a very, very good player.
  6. McGinn and Kamara are better. Luiz is overrated on here. Good player but we treat him like he’s a world beater when I don’t think he is tbh. He’s been average a lot this season in matches.
  7. He is what he is. He’s a quarterback style defender. Great for setting up attacks and splitting the lines but average defensively. It’s a trade off unfortunately. I think we’re a better team with him in it though.
  8. I’m just so ‘meh’ on him.
  9. APPARENTLY WATKINS HAS SCORED BUT ON MY TOTALLY LEGAL STREAM BRENTFORD HAVE THE BALL GET IN
  10. Strong team. Really interesting that he’s played Rogers ahead of Diaby. Expect Diaby is being eased back in and will see the last half hour.
  11. Fancy them to beat United in a couple of weeks time
  12. We’ll be giving that to Digne next Friday.
  13. I sometimes wonder how the season would have played out if Mings hadn’t got injured. There is a part of me that thinks Torres being thrown in like he was, was a good thing for Villa as he had to adapt and grow into a PL player very quickly. Obviously it would have happened regardless of Ty’s injury, I believe it just expedited the process. Would Mings and Torres have been our first choice? Tough to say because I know Emery likes a right and left footed partnership. If you watch the way we play, you’d understand why that is so important. Fascinating to see how Mings comes back from the injury. One of my favourite ever Villa players for sure
  14. Still blows my mind that the national team coach thinks Maguire is a better player than Konsa. Konsa is vastly, vastly superior.
  15. All the analogy’s he uses when the opposition scores.
  16. I’ve met him a few times. Nice guy. It’s all an act and a lot of it is scripted. He does what he does and he makes money doing it. Fair play I say.
  17. Odd post. You’re arguing something you have no knowledge of without having any proof otherwise.
  18. We won’t be selling 2/3 great players. One at most id suspect. Depends how brave they want to be. The key players not to sell are Martinez Watkins McGinn Konsa Torres The reason being, I think we’d struggle to replace them with the money we have. Oddly enough, I feel as though it will a lot easier to replace the likes of Luiz, Bailey and Ramsey than it would those due to the individual traits that make them very, very good players. Position and cost of players in that position also need to be factored in.
  19. Whatever he’s done, he’s absolutely f******. Reminds me of the Grealish saga. Something seriously wrong with his foot.
  20. It’s a lot different with Man City. A lot more politics at play. We’re talking about a nation state that invests a lot into the country and they’ll no doubt have politicians on the payroll. It would take a brave man at the PL to punish City as they should be punished. You can guarantee there will be a lot of creative thinking going on with the punishment. They’d probably take a 30 point deduction and a 1/2yr ban from European competitions at this point. It wouldn’t mean a whole lot as they’ll still finish in the top half of the table and the players could probably see past not playing in Europe for a season or two if it protects their inflated wages. City should be relegated, stripped of their trophies and the EFL should think twice about allowing them to enter their league structure. Like I say, this won’t happen because there will be some threatening conversations from the Emirati if they’re punished.
  21. Yep, probably agree. The sale of Ramsey, qualifying for the champions league and finishing 5th, you’d have to think that would seriously help with FFP. And that’s without the amount of trimming to the squad we’re likely to see in the Summer. The idea that Newcastle would sign Ramsey is a bit daft too. They’re on about selling Guimaraes and Isak themselves to comply. Why they'd then go and buy a left sided attacker when they have Gordon and Barnes is just stupid as they’d need to replace the players they've sold. I don’t agree with the way PSR works and I certainly don’t agree with this new luxury tax idea either. Ultimately, whatever is voted in will be with a view to avoid punishing Manchester City. The whole thing stinks, but whatever.
