All players fit he’s not in the starting 11

He could quite easily be depending on form and fitness and tactics. He's on a par with most of our midfielders in one form or another in my opinion.

Mathis Lambourde is one of Aston Villa's priority targets

️ The 18-year-old Rennes striker tapped Unai Emery's eye

 

I’ve never seen him play before, does anyone know if he’s any good? It seems that he made his debut this season.

It looks like one for the future. Nowhere near first team yet.

Fofana would be ideal to cover for Kamara and compete with him when he's back. Gallagher is ideal to cover the second pivot role.
Both would complete our central mid options giving enough to fight over the 2 plus 2 midfield roles along with Kamara, Tielemans, McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Rogers and Buendia - with a few of those covering forward roles too.

If Chelsea are pawning more of the silver, I really like Madueke too.

I'm absolutely onboard with getting Gallagher in. He's a proper box to box workhorse with skills, a good attitude and a great engine.
I think he'll be the link between Rice and Bellingham for England too. I don't ever want to be in a position of having to play Luiz and McGinn together again. Ever.

I just wonder if he can play CDM until Kamara returns. Maybe. If not, we still need a player there.

Feel like we’ve been here before with the whole flight tracking thing and very rarely (if ever), has it ever amounted to anything.

There may have been some red herrings in the past and some... ahem, 'Flights of Fancy' with the data, but TheTrees is usually pretty good with this kind of thing.

Probably Carlos going to Milan.

Flight activity suggests incoming.

Good he's back playing so should be a full part of our pre-season  

Hopefully not lost any pace, because he was rubber dinghy rapid.

My nephew saw that and said "Jewnai Emery". Absolute worldie.

What's the latest on this kid?

She sounds like a startled Llama but is very, very attractive.

Chukwueze? Jovic? Barella? (he's in my Villa FC24 team) Dumfries? Frattesi? DiMarco?

not really a problem that needs fixing is it? i don't see crazy train going anywhere anytime soon. OK, it's not a sabbath song and it's up for debate whether ozzy is a villa fan (he doesn't mention us in his book...actually think he was just always too wrecked to care about football)

Ozzy is a Villa fan. Not as fanatical as Geezer but a Villa fan nonetheless.

Also a good cure for diarrhoea.

And a compendium of swords and sorcery epics.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath. Its literally perfect and will intimidate every team that comes to VP.
Just the music though, with pyro and all sorts.

Problem is that they don’t sell their players cheap, they always get a premium.  Very interesting player but over paying may not be in our playbook.

No, that's true. Plus we could arguably get Jack back on loan to do a similar job and spend the money elsewhere.

I'd absolutely love Mitoma.

Being linked with left backs, centre backs and right backs.  Something tells me Unai isn't happy with our defence 

Tbf we've leaked a lot in the latter half of the season. I can't believe they're not coached well enough. So I can see why. It might be the difference with being in a title challenge or not. Or a cup win.

1874 is crucial and the lion's mane is too 80's power ballad

No such thing. 

I think he's a very good player. Good defensively and in attack.

Please stop with these shit swap / selling Duran and JJ stories though. We're not.

Just for der schitzengiggels, what would folk think of getting Jack back on loan next season?

He worked his arse off. We haven't seen him really use his pace much this season but he really ran at them at times last night.
If his finishing was sharper, he could have had a hattrick. That will come hopefully. I loved how he chased down the ball in the dying moments down the left back position.
