    I think we were confident that this one was going to happen until he had a late change of mind, we then tried for plan B with time running out but Aberdeen decided they could reject our offer for their player. It's not as if we didn't try to bring in a centre half. The only option left is to play one of our current players if our overlords cannot be persuaded to let us have our JT back.
  2. John
    Indeed it is, but in this case it can mean only one thing JT is coming back. It makes 100% sense so there is no reason that anyone at the club could have for not wanting it to happen. Make it so Villa!

    Never in any doubt was it? Super Tammy was determined to sign for us all along and pushed Chelsea to allow his Villa dream to become a reality. I was wrong and I'm so pleased to have been proven wrong about this deal coming off. I doff my hat to Brucie and everyone else involved at Villa Park for getting this one done.

    Under two hours now we are cutting this too fine for my liking.

    They had better send their own jet then and pay his hotel bill!

    I can't see him going with Green already out on loan.

    I think it's a case of anywhere other than a Championship club with this one. I hope he proves me wrong but if Chelsea want him out I suspect he will prefer Bordeaux to us.

    Linked with Pape Souare a left back at Palace by the Birmingham Mail. He is a 28 year old Senegal international who they signed from Lille for £3.5m in 2015. He has made 60 appearances for them. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-been-linked-premier-15093778

    Not a bad thing in itself that we are looking in that league. Plan B or C? Do we know who this kid is that we now have a link on?

    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be...

    It's a step up from The Star reporting it.

    Welcome Christian. If our new overlords have selected you then you must be top notch and both Liverpool and Chelsea have done the same in the past which suggests you are good at interviews at the very least.

    I hope we didn't let him use the private jet for the return trip. I would have dropped him at junction 6 and wished him luck hitching a lift back to France on his swift brexit from Villa Park.
  14. John
    He would be worth looking at but I guess the demands Plop make on clubs who loan their players and the penalties they impose it they are not met may make a deal for him unlikely for us.

    We don't want our boys on the bench snacking on a bunn during the game.

    The loan window slams shut on Friday at 5pm. Time is therefore fast running out to get the deals over the line that will have a significant impact on our promotion hopes done in the hours that remain before then.
  17. John
    Yes that is what he will be telling himself as he sits on a bench (occasionally) during September, October, November and December before accepting he was wrong in January and moving on loan to another relegation threatened PL side of to a team in Europe until the end of the season when he will spend another transfer window like he has this one.

    If we sign JT again we can loan a left back and a striker. Job done. We don't have to put more than 5 loans in the squad at the same time (we can try a little loan player squad rotation).
  19. John
    Yes, it reads: The new "Boumsong" has arrived, he's called Harold Moukoudi and he plays for HAC."
  20. John
    I thought that we already had or are we just running a transfer policy of "buy any player that Celtic are linked with?" , If so, I hope they are linked with a left back and a striker soon.
  21. John
    He has a future in rugby league with that follow up kick from the penalty save last night. His goals and reliability last season kept us in with a chance of promotion when we could easily have dropped out of contention but his form left him as we approached the play offs and has yet to return. His confidence is shot and our new signings will put him under pressure. I hope he can motivate himself to get over his current slump in form and I will not be giving up on him doing that just yet. Even if he doesn't, I won't be getting on his back given what he has done for us in the past.
  22. John
    I had also hoped that this would be a big season for Andre and it still can be. Portsmouth are doing well down there and he will get the games with them that he needs. I am sure that he will come back to us feeling confident and fighting fit. What I don't want is for us to be using a loan as a prelude to a sale as we have with other young players in the past (who could in some cases have done a job for us now) because he's very much one for our future.
  23. John
    It's encouraging that we are actively looking for a central defender. Pity more than a few players seem to prefer to warm a bench or wait in case another club to come in for them instead of joining us when the opportunity to do so is floated. I hope we have other irons in the fire in case this one doesn't come off such as JT.
  24. John
    We rested first team players tonight as most of us felt we should do beforehand. Few if any of those players selected, like the team that we started with in the previous round did anything to press for a starting spot did they? They should refund what it cost the fans to attend this none performance from their own pockets.
