Big Ezri with the assist

Those England centre halfs are alright

Nah let's hope they do a fulham, rather than a wolves. But sure when have Leeds ever overstretched in the transfer market, leaving them in financial meltdown and risking their very existence?

No we cant

And what is it with interviewers asking jack shitty awkward questions in post match interviews - what need was there to ask him about the two boys getting sent home from the England camp?!

Genuinely starting to question if I like watching football or just like watching jack playing football

It's kinda weird to see Jack in a team where his teammates don't automatically try to get the ball to him asap. A number of times jack had been open but not received the ball and it looks plain wrong. But that's more a symptom of how villa play than anything

Delighted. Have a really really good feeling about this signing. And come on lads, there's being tight and there's being tight with someone else's money, especially if that someone is a bazillionaire football club owning mogul. Let's just enjoy this one eh, it's not every day that your club break it's transfer record on a new hotshot striker

Goalkeeper and right back would probably have been my two least pressing positions to buy new players for at the start of this window

That's the one

Genuinely getting concened about the state of some VT'ers mental health with all the anguish I'm reading on here. A lot of the things that people are getting upset about aren't fact. They are a combination of paper talk, lies, fake itk info, speculation and personal expectation of what should have happened by now. The actual facts are that we have signed two players, lost no players and there is plenty of time left in the transfer window. Don't get upset about things that aren't fact. Focus on the truth. It'll make your lives much less stressful

It was a choice between this and having another debate on the merits of signing Callum bloody Wilson

According to that insta video he reckons ezri konza is the prettiest guy at the club. Thoughts?

i feel like im going mental - do you lot have shares in the club? Maybe im too simple but I just want reallly good players to play for Aston Villa to make it enjoyable to watch and see them win games. I dont care if we are paying £20m or £24m or £22m with addons and incentives etc. Its not my money. The club employ accountants and managers and directors of football to worry about all that and i trust they will spend money that they can afford to spend. I also find it bizarre when people question how hard the people in charge of the club are trying to get players in. Bottom line is that, unlike you and me, the success or failure of the club has a direct impact on their lives, be it their job, reputation, potential for future employment etc so of course they will be doing everything in their power to make the club as successful as it can be. if it was simple as just clicking the buy button in football manager in order to purchase a player im sure they would be delighted, but just maybe the process of buying a player in the modern game is a tad more complex than us lot realise.

Working right to left I presume?

This is not what I was expecting when Xia told us he would be responsible for us getting in the top 6

no but you're obviously following villa related news online Ollie.........

Someone said the new blue kit looks like a football kit from a shaving gel ad, which made me laugh

Damn lucky that jack is a bigger man than all of us and didn't go online to call Southgate a beaky waistcoat wearing nerdy clearing in the woods. Could've been awkward!!

That's my belief also

"Villa talk ooh ooh Villa talk Matty Cash I want you, Matty Cash I need you oh"

It is also creating a monster in the amount of pressure it is heaping on Jack for when he finally does make his England debut. Rather than easing into the senior setup as a young lad, he will have to do it after a massive campaign to get him into the team, with hugely inflated expectation levels as a result. It is literally setting him up to fail. Which he won't, because he's brilliant. But you get my point

Leeds doing a fulham

Yet oddly if you had asked what position was least urgent to buy in this transfer window I'd have thought right back

alright Troy, calm down
