Has more weight of expectation on him than any other player because of the club we bought him from and that he scored Vs Liverpool. Whilst we now have other candidates, we were all desperate for the new Jack Grealish when Barry started coming through, local lad, Villa fan,came from Barca and a great debut means the expectation around him is so high. I just hope he gets the time and doesn't crumble under the pressure. Most of us hadn't heard of archer a year ago or atleast never discussed him if we had. Barry deserves the time and space to find his feet too

Hopefully none of our last few buys end up being busts, struggled to get rid of Kalinic (and Beye etc all of MONs lot) on £40k a week, be a damn sight harder getting rid of players on 80-160k

Quick highlights
-
Deleted it, got the team and scorers apparently then the Buendia thing. Got a load of abuse and deleted his Twitter... Then the team and scorers confirmed. Hopefully just BS but that's the story anyway. I didn't see the tweets myself he'd already deleted it by time I saw the drama
-
3-1 Win Ramsey, McGinn and Watkins all in the first half Ramsey 5' (left foot from a rebounded Chambers effort) McGinn 11' (top corner from a Buendia lay-off) Watkins ~23' (header from a deflected Digne cross)
-
-
Is that what the guy whose deleted his Twitter said? I've seen loads saying they hope whatever he said isn't true but I was too late to see what he'd said
-
Who are the three players with McGinn at the start of the video? Is Chrisene and Sinisalo two of them?
-
Really excited about Tim. Think he's going to get on the pitch at some point in Feb or March before Nakamba comes back. Bet he's loving training with Gerrard and being part of little moves like this too
-
He may well have been but not pictured. I took the names from photos on the OS and from commentary detailed. It wasn't exhaustive and didn't list who came on when or who started. Very possible others played too. Or Dougie was off signing a new contract
-
Only know the players listed above and that Ings started over Watkins rather than they played together. I've seen the same debate on Twitter, some have said Chambers did play DM but nothing concrete. I'd assume that Iroegbunam played there whilst he was on for sure and maybe Chambers did later. The only tidbit of Chambers was that he got back to stop a late attack from Brentford as they looked to equalise. If he was the furthest back I would assume he was playing CB or RB by that point rather than DM - as you'd hope the CBs would be further back than the DM.
-
Updated with confirmed players involved and breakdown of the score/ game. OS article here: https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/february/01/Villa-take-on-Brentford-in-a-friendly-/

Wasn't sure where to update on the friendlies taking place behind close doors. The below tweet discusses the U23 Academy players but it was a First Team friendly. Good to see Tim and Carney getting opportunities in essentially a mini-preseason Infront of Gerrard and co. Villa won 2-1 Vs Brentford, Young, Cash, Digne, Sanson, Jacob Ramsey, Iroegbunam, Carney, Olsen, Konsa, Chambers, McGinn, Mings, Watkins and Ings were all involved. Ings had one goal disallowed for offside after tapping in a rebound from a Carney shot. Brentford 1-0 up shortly after following a defensive mistake. Watkins came on in the second half and scored from a Carney assist, 1-1 after 56 mins A Mings header gave us the lead, 2-1, after 72 mins

For me, I think we'll see In (Definites): Hickey, DM and a GK. Outs (Definites): Trez, AEG, Wes, Targett, Davis, Steer, Kalinic, Hourihane I also think we'll lose one of Ings/Watkins, one of Luiz/McGinn and potentially one of Mings/Hause. Then think we'd also bring in replacements for whichever of those we lost. I also think we'll be OK with losing one of those first 4 to fund our other moves and OK with losing Mings or Hause to upgrade at CB.
-
No chance we get any of those fees, I know you said not to crucify and it's annoying when people do but I think we'll do very well to get £40m for that lot and pay for Coutinho.

If we do I think it would end in similar fashion to Smith-Rowe, Ward-Prowse and Bissouma, takes ages and inevitably wastes time before we miss out by the end of the window one way or another. He'll be £60m+ and have better offers than us if he's cheaper than that. We clearly have a bit of a line around the £35-40m mark that we aren't yet willing to cross.
-
Edit: the actual article says they rejected a £35m bid earlier in the window. You'd have to assume that was us and means they're serious about their £40-50m valuation
-
Arsenal have no strikers come the summer, as discussed Inthe Jan thread I think there is a real risk they come in for Watkins who was a childhood fan. It makes so much sense that it would be peak Arsenal for them not to try.
-
I think Watkins to Arsenal is a genuine concern in the summer.

Yeah here you go. Free transfer and £10m when he plays 20 games. He's cup tied so can only play 18 games this season, so no fee till next year. Not a bad deal.
-
He's going for free isn't he? And £10m in bonuses if he reaches certain milestones. Not that bad of a deal if it comes off for them. I don't understand signing him and Van Der Beek in the same week though. Two under performing players in the same position although maybe they'll play one further back
