Its still pure speculation isnt it though. Nothing concrete to go with.

thats why its called the speculation thread! 

would anyone take a punt on carlos vela? i dont watch that much mls but he got 33 goals last season and wouldnt cost that much.

Messi is available then? Be offered to clubs?

we got as much chance of signing messi as coutinho none!

I think we need to make a statement. Why not try get coutinho on loan with view to permanent deal? It might sound tad unrealistic but barce want rid. No harm in trying. Also got wes and luiz here

may as well try and sign messi got as much chance as signing coutinho!

Think someone mention Enemalo as an option because Purslow had worked with him at Chelsea. Hopefully not Comolli who Purslow also worked with at Liverpool.....

Dan Ashworth would be good also but will be very tough to get him out of the FA before the euros and that could drag on during the summer, we simply have to get the new DOF in quick.

hes at Brighton now been there for about a year.

Yes, well vaguely, but then I've just watched this 93/94 season last day

They were 4 places above relegation at half time only to concede the winning goal against Chelsea in injury time to go down.

Jacks back

He does not care though

even if he makes quite a few changes that should still be good enough to beat  Watford.

They won't be coming back down as long as Bielsa is there.

Plus they're partnered with stats bomb so have great external support with transfers and won't be getting any Suso-esq shite signings this summer.

are they where have you seen that?

has anyone got a spare sky now tv pass for tonight match?

The problem with Reina is that he has those great games.

Then he has the games where he has a sequence of clangers/spills.

No different to any other villa player then.

I voted manager's performance poor.

Simply because he didn't react to Klopp's changes. Been a theme all season.

Smith isn't proactive and it's one of the reasons we are going down.

what would you of done differently?

Same as me then.

A mid table championship manager should never be in contention for the Villa job.

5th is not midtable.

And lets not kid ourselves. Liverpool were half arsed today. I dont think they went above 50% and still won with ease. Yes they are better than us, but we didnt create hardly anything just like the last few games.

Smiths done a terrible job here this season. If it was bruce or lambert they would be getting crucified.

He deserves the sack and he cant complain when he does at the end of the season

 

 

 

Alisson was there best player.

We will be down before that final game

I doubt that.

I think that we will need 8 - 11 points to stay up. Whether we can get that many points is another matter.

We've clearly missed our twelfth man, at the so called home games, that we have played since the restart. These games have lacked atmosphere and relegation may yet be determined, by how seriously the opponents of teams in the bottom six, choose to take games against them. I would really love it if we could show some fight now and still have our fate in our own hands on the last day. 

I can see it now, we play out a tame 0-0 draw with West Ham, which coincidentally is enough to guarantee the safety of both clubs. Oh how we laugh, when the relegated clubs, complain that the result brings into question the "integrity" of football.        

or we win to send them down

Norwich weren't easy against Man Utd when I saw them. They could stop Watford or West Ham. Although it's likely a game that West Ham and Watford could get 3 points from.

Remember we were much worse than Norwich and drew with Newcastle to send them down with us.

We'll have a much clearer picture going into Liverpool game. The likely results are until:

Chelsea Vs West Ham, Chelsea win

Watford Vs Chelsea, Chelsea

Manchester United Vs Bournemouth, Manchester United win.

Ofcourse, we can't take all of that as a fact. But that are the likely results. The more tricky ones are Steve Bruce games. We need them to do what Crystal Palace done to our rivals.

Bournemouth Vs Newcastle

Newcastle Vs Southampton

We could be far adrift by then, but we could equally be out of the bottom 3 without playing if Bournemouth and West Ham lost the next two and Chelsea done us a favor by winning with few goals.

We can still give Man Utd a game too. I know they're in huge form, but still, anything could happen.

do you mean west ham v newcastle?  Wilson being out for 2 matches could be good news for us hopefully.

If there is no ffp and that includes the championship we need to invest in a top coach and give him a big budget.

Selk grealish and mings.  Get rid of el ghazi trez taylor and nyland 

Try keep mcginn nakamba samatta and wesley. Konsa hause and engles i think will be good at championship level. You just need a manager who knows what he is doing and can add some quality

you want to keep 2 players that you call utter shit an hour ago

Apparently we're going to play a 523 system, with Grealish and Hourihane as the central two, and Davis, Samatta, and El Ghazi upfront, so looks like we're going to going for gold if that's right, bit worried about that central midfield though. Can't remember the defence but I think Reina is in goal, which shouldn't really be a surprise, Elmohamady at right-back, as I think there's a suggestion that Guilbert might be injured, hasn't been involved in the training sessions apparently.

source?

I struggle to understand how Lambert did a bad job for us. 

Was given a crap squad and next to no budget.

You can say what you want about him but keeping us up for 2 seasons with that squad isn't a bad job.

where do i start he lost to a league 2 club over 2 legs,  got knocked out to lower league teams in the cup. Lied to fans every week saying we were excellent. i could go on if you want?

Didn't relegate us.

Levels above Garde and Di Matteo.

Done a better job than Smith if we are relegated this season

Garde and Di Matteo didn't relegated us.

if there was little team effort on your 1 point that means they have down tools! you do know we will sign people if we sell Grealish? maybe we should focus on trying to stay up instead of talking about what could happen next season.
