    Hasn't UE said that we won't need to sell our best players and why would we have zero net spending, if we have income coming in through a potential league 4th/5th finish, and CL qualification? Players may come and go during the next window, but they are likely to be players that we are willing to let go or the odd one that having worked to achieve CL qualification, might then choose to jump ship rather than actually want to play for us in the CL next season. I think that our big hitters will be happy to stick around for at least one more season, assuming that we have exceeded our pre-season objectives by qualifying for the CL. I also consider that our owners won't hesitate to back UE and Monchi in getting their targets to the club. I for one, would prefer to focus on who those players will be, rather than on who we would be prepared to sell. We are not a selling club, after all. Our best players are not for sale, simples!

    I wouldn't say no. I doubt we would want to pay the £55m or so they gave Wolves or be able to match his wage demands though. Depends whether his club would want an arm and a leg for him, or would settle for around £40m? I would hope that CL qualification would enable us to bring in a couple of players at around that price in the summer and that we could also bring in a couple of young players, such as those that we signed in the last window. UE and Monchi, will be making or have already agreed, their list.

    Saturday's win would have been, if it wasn't for PGMOL.

    I'm sure they will and I admire your confidence in them, a confidence that is probably unmatched by all but a few of their most one eyed fans. With Best and Law up front and Charlton in the middle, they will probably pull back our 18 goal advantage over them by the end of the month!

    I understand if you have a season ticket you sit in your normal seat and the cost reflects that. If you don't have a ST the club allocates you a ticket and the overall cost is therefore higher. I would guess that if you book as a group, the club would aim to have you sitting together. I might be wrong though...

    It's in our own hands now, if we can discount referees and VAR. A little help from Luton today would be both welcome and unexpected though...

    Quite a bounce back! The lads gave a big performance today and fought like Lions.It seems that rumours that our season was already over were greatly exaggerated!

    If it's Villa it is normally offside. Simples!

    Might be that Dop who trod on him.

    Changed for you: "Have to hope no one gets injured". We can't afford any more, no matter where they play. We have had more than our fair share already!

    Tyrone Mings

    John replied to Demitri_C's topic in Villa Talk

    Perhaps it was his use of the word "training", he did say "initial return to training", which in itself is near enough correct. We hadn't seen pictures of him back at BH before (or at least I hadn't), so what he said was probably fair enough, as was his hope that he would "be ready and 100% fit as soon as possible. I think we were all desperate for some good news and jumped at this as a result. As it is, it seems having Tyrone back in full training by May, is as good as we can hope for.

    Or just camera shy...

    Depends if he wants to sign for a club in the CL with a chance of winning something, I guess or if he is just looking for money.
  14. John
    Doesn't seem to like the chap with the camera does he?
  15. John
    Third and second favourites respectively at 8/1 and 11/2.

    Tyrone Mings

    John replied to Demitri_C's topic in Villa Talk

    Oh well, as anticipated with Tyrone, I had hoped that Buendia would have been available before the season end. Hopefully they will both be sitting on the bench in Athens and will be firing on all cylinders for next season.

    I see Legia are 100/1 to win the cup with Coral, with Slovan the rank outsiders @ 200/1. We remain the hot favourites @ 11/4, with Real Betis @ 14/1 the only Europa League team in the first 7 clubs in the betting. The bookies are always right!

    We shall find out a bit about "Young Tim" in the coming weeks, it's a great opportunity for him, but there is a lot of pressure upon him too, hopefully he will thrive on it.
  19. John
    4-1 to the Europa League, with 3 ending all square.
  20. John
    No, we will probably meet them in Athens!
  21. John
    Given we have Kamara in the squad, hopefully we would be able to add one of those to the squad.

    Any point in April would be a real boost for me. It would be great to have Tyrone & Buendia back available for the last few games.

    I guess that we will, as one of the eight group winners, be seeded in the round of 16? If so, we would be facing one of the above. It would be Ajax and Henderson wouldn't it?
  24. John
    I like your confidence, but Brighton and Newcastle won't share it. I hope you are proved right though.
  25. John
    Coral have us @ 5/4 to win and the home team @ 2/1 on Saturday. They also have us @ 1/8 to finish in the top 6 and 7/4 to end up in the top 4 (Manchester United are 5/1). The bookies are still in our corner.
