  1. His best position is as a 10, so I don't see how he'd fit here unless you're replacing Buendia. I think the most logical landing spot for him is at Roma playing behind Tammy. Seems a perfect fit.
  2. My favorite genre of tweet. "There's no reason to believe this is real but I'm going to tweet it anyway."
  3. Actually, in American it's just pronounced zzzzzzzzzzzz
  4. Also, we should only sign great players at half their market value, and sell shit players for twice their market value. To think people believe running a club is hard!
  5. If I were to rate the reliability of football reporting in Italy on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the least trustworthy and 10 being the most trustworthy, I'd give it a -50.
  6. The reason I trust him is because he's not out there floating names or rumors or eyeball emojis or aggregating other reports. He just occasionally tweets about what he's heard. He doesn't do the typical attention seeking maneuvers the fake ITKs do, or try to break news.
  7. I want top half too. I think top half is far more realistic than Europe this season. The Conference League or Europa League should be much more accessible in in 23/24, but even that won't be easy. This is the toughest league in the world. There are the established powers, and behind them are a bevy of clubs striving to join them with the financial power to believe they can. Progress is seldom linear.
  8. You know what they say about complex problems: There's always somebody with a simple, incorrect solution.
  9. And if we were the only club spending money, the raw figure would matter more. What's our spend in relation to the teams we're trying to catch? If we'd spent £400 million and the teams we're chasing had spent only £20 million, it'd be a different story. But other teams spend money too! Either way, thanks for letting me know it's no longer 2018.
  10. We are aiming for Europe. It's just a longer trip than many on here seem to realize.
  11. Four summers ago we were rummaging through scrap bins looking for players as we prepared for another season in the Championship. Now there are fans who think if we don't finish in a European spot next season we're a failure. I get having ambition, and I love optimism as much as the next guy, but some of you lot could do with a nice dose of reality. Villa have had an active window to this point. There's a lot of window left. The club wants to improve. It wants to reach Europe. Losing Jack Grealish was a big setback in that pursuit. It can still happen regardless. A little more patience, and a little less bedwetting.
  12. Neither would I. Not the best option as a backup to Kamara, but you know he can do it if needed to. Plus you add him to the mix of our more forward minded mids and it gives us more of that depth of options so many are complaining we don't have.
  13. I'd hardly call myself a Svanberg expert, but I've seen him in a few matches. Somewhat similar to McGinn in that he was playing for a team that needed him to be a bit more defensive than he seems capable of being, and is better served going forward. Pretty good on set pieces. Not much of a passer worth noting. For context, though, it's important to point out that the only time I'm watching Bologna is when it's playing the top sides in Italy. I have no idea what Svanberg looks like when he's playing against sides on par with Bologna.
  14. I'm convinced Jesse Marsch is using Leeds to prove he can coach the US Men's National Team.
  15. To be fair, an Achilles injury is only one injury, but it's a significant one. Athletes are rarely the same afterward.
  16. I believe it was 15, but don't hold me to it.
  17. One time my sister asked me to guess a number between 1 and 100 and I guessed the right one. Nobody has confused me for having psychic powers because of it. He was right about one player possibly because he had actual information, and he enjoyed the notoriety he received, so he's continued making things up since. Notice how the time you give him credit for being correct, he NAMED the player? Nothing but mysterious bullshit hints since.
  18. "I can't say anything" says the person who created a Twitter account to say things. Please stop posting anything from this know nothing attention seeker.
