I hope we've made a cheicky bid for this guy!

All the Asians around Birmingham pretty much support either Liverpool or Man Utd, what chance would we have in India when we can't get the locals of Indian sub-continent descent to support us

I think if a local Asian player made it at Villa then it would attract more attention to the club. Birmingham has a population of around 200k British Kashmiri people (of which I am one) and there are lots of Asian kids with massive potential waiting to be scouted on local pitches. Why any of them haven't made it is worrying. Easah Suliman should have been the poster boy in my opinion for my community and I'm disappointed he never made it. 

God, he's a greedy son of a gun. 

Thankfully we may not be seeing as much of Traore this season if Buendia and Bailey are our first choice wingers. I thought he was way off the pace today - even though he wasn't fully fit there's no excuse for being greedy. 

Wise move, welcome home Axel!

What age is Barry, 17?

Yeah. I think we will start introducing him into the side in a couple of years. Bed him in slowly but will probably be a long term replacement for Ings I guess as he's in a similar mould. 

Ideally League One loan this season, Championship loan next season. Ings can spend two seasons with us as a regular and hopefully Barry will be ready to take his place in the team.

I can't see us signing Cantwell now that we've replaced Grealish with the three players named by Purslow.

Jack will never top the feeling of being floored by a knuckle dragging Small Heath fan and then scoring the only goal in the same game.

Good shout as a swap for cash + hourihane

Two players for the price of one. I like it (I know what you meant really...)

Whoops. Was typing in a rush!

I think this is our best bit of business this summer - a player that has scored 20+ goals in a PL season, something we haven't had the luxury of in a long time.

Signing JWP would be the icing on the cake, the service Watkins and Ings would get from wide areas plus JWP's set pieces would be a dream for the likes of Mings and Konsa.

Right now I could care less about Gresford joining those dirty Mancs.

Brilliant signing to push Ollie this season. I hope he remains injury free - a superb rotation option or coming off the bench and who knows, maybe even a starter?

Can we just send them Cash and hope they don't notice? 

His dad is showing us his whole family and the neighbours and the whole bloody town. What the heck is this? I've switched off. Not sure I can sit through this.

So 10 minutes later?

Yep, pretty much soon I'd expect 

If he leaves he'll most likely destroy the hero status he has in the city of Birmingham (and the surrounding areas) amongst a massive Villa fanbase, obviously being the main man around here is a big thing for him and to lose that might hurt him as he'll be treated with derision upon his return or even retirement. Will he care? Only time will tell.

Stick your bloody crappy oil money up your arse and use it to buy Kane you slags!

Of course it is. Where did I suggest they weren't good passes? I was pointing out that the defending was woeful, which it was.

I was just making a general comment and observation really. Yes, the defending was poor but I was highlighting his ability which would be a major asset to us regardless of who we play. 

All my non Villa supporting mates saying he's not world class. Hilarious! I mean, I don't support England but he made the difference today and I haven't been following his career for the last 9 years for nothing. The guy is absolutely world class. Watch the media meltdown now....

Wouldn't be in this mess if he had stuck with Ireland - probably would have been their best ever player too!

I would assume that Young's role in league games will be primarily as an impact sub or full back/wing cover. He will be a handy player to have around for a cup run given his wealth of experience. Maybe we can finally win something again?

Emi to be unveiled after the game in the new kit after winning his first cap? You never know.

He would have joined spurs a few years back had a fee been agreed. He said so himself.

Oh yeah, I know. Things are much different now and we are building a much stronger side than the one he was in when the writing was on the wall for him. I don't think it was his choice to leave, more like the club needed the cash to stay afloat.
