  1. Good shout - I saw him stretching his hip muscles when he went up for a corner midway through the first half.
  2. Tommi O'Reilly the latest injury! According to this, he has had surgery on his left hand. Can't imagine he will be out for long. Animo pronto Tommi!
  3. Anyone know if either Pau or Lenglet have ever played right side of a centre back pairing?
  4. I'm looking forward to seeing what Rogers can do - think he will offer more physicality and maybe release the need for Watkins to drop deep in order to receive the ball. Could alter the shape slightly in a way that will be beneficial.
  5. This is very true. I remember being at Atleti's 'Calderon' stadium for their last game. It was obviously an incredibly charged experience and a lot of fans had deep regrets about moving (particularly when there was room to develop right next to the stadium... but that's another story). Now I think the Metropolitano is starting to feel like home - most fans have got used to the switch.
  6. Something is up in my book, just not quite sure what. My guess is that they are looking at building a new stadium. The question would be where? To stay in Aston, would have to be part of some wider regeneration project that would overhaul train/transport links too. Is this feasible?
  7. This to me reads as 'we already know what we want to do, but are going to make sure you feel included'. I'll be interested to see the questions they ask this time.
  8. Reckon he could really rock a bandana too.
  9. From what Unai said in his press conference yesterday, I think he sees Duran as Watkins' "first replacement". But probably like most, I still think we need more if Archer is allowed to leave.
  10. How many players have we had whose surname starts with 'Z'? I can't think of any. For that reason alone, I think we should sign him. Will enhance our coverage alphabetically.
  11. It was getting pretty dark wasn't it? Rumour has it the training session ended when Moussa's mom called him in for tea...
  12. I'd love someone like Bazuna, but doubt he will swap first team football in the Championship for us. So what about Alex McCarthy? Is he still at Southampton? Thought he was OK at Palace.
  13. My view is that Joao isn't quite as good as he thinks he is. That's not to say he isn't a very good player, and I think we are actually about his level. But I saw a decent amount of him at Atleti and was never entirely convinced. Maybe it could have been the constraints of playing under Simeone, but I don't think he has ever consistently shown why they paid so much money for him.
  14. If Joao is so good though why (apparently) are we the only club in for him?
  15. Interestingly (and I hope not too OT), Atletico Madrid fans have just voted to reintroduce their old badge.... the new one was pretty contentious as it swapped round the bear from one side to another. Just shows you how contentious these things can be.
  16. I think it was, as others have said, a stupid decision to offer it out to fan consultation in the first place. It's a bit of a mess all round but I think as long as we get this sorted this season, it will quickly be forgotten about.
  17. If you can get to Madrid, there is a train that takes about an hour and a half. The Mestalla is right in the city centre too.
  18. Right decision in my opinion. He has been a revelation this season but can't be too sentimental. I'm just pleased he is leaving on such a high - will always be welcomed back to VP.
  19. Not sure if anyone saw the bit where he tried to gee the crowd up after coming on against Arsenal. Seems to have a lot of confidence about him.
  20. Definitely will fall into the category of 'players you forgot had a spell at Aston Villa'. Thanks for the non-memories, Ludwig.
  21. No, you are correct - this was said in his last press conference (before Southampton).
  22. Ings had the hair of a 1940s RAF officer didn't he? Marvellous stuff.
  23. To me, he would fit in the mould of what Emery would want from a full back so I think he will be kept around the squad.
  24. I think we all agree he is an awful player, nowhere near the standard needed. Get rid.
