    Let off there. Lenglet not switched on at all
  2. HalfTimePost
    Have to make the most of this spell. Good time to get Bailey on
  3. HalfTimePost
    You can say that again

    Ah the race to be able to say "I told you so" or "It was always obvious we wouldn't finish there" has moved to this thread I see. 3 points clear with half a season to go. Dream a bit ffs. If you cant enjoy this season, you may aswell find something else to do as you'll never find happiness in this sport. Even if you've waited what, 30 years for us to get back to the European Cup / Champions League and you're already fighting to say you were here early enough to call us missing out on it... honestly, what's the point?

    Missed a lot ofposts since - but is that definitely how it works as I was fairly confident that they had to spend 3 Years here before their 21st birthday - and obviously Kosta can't quite do so, as he turned 18 at the start of December, so will be a 4-6 weeks short of the deadline to count as Homegrown on his 21st birthday

    One thing in the back of my mind is that a lot of the reasoning for Lerner's original badge and not including detail within the lion was to make it reasonably cost effective to produce on the shirts, it was (allegedly) in part to keep Nike happy. Will be interesting to see how Adidas approach this, either the technology has changed as was posted with some of the gold designs a few days ago (but mostly focused on National teams / limited edition shirts)... Or I wonder whether we'll see another bump in cost of fan shirts in order to execute the badge as hoped.

    Was always a dubious link

    Difference is Everton and Forest have admitted that they're in breach of the rules. City will never

    Off topic but apparently we find out today who has been impacted by FFP. Or atleast the clubs find out today and there's a new faster process for punishing clubs from today too. So may see a few clubs push through deals from today onwards once they know they're in the clear

    Either way, excited to see the kid play. My only frustration is the same as with Duran. We apparently have been tracking him and wanted him for a long time and we've waited until he's a month past the deadline to count as a future Homegrown player. With Archer, AJ - and likely KKH and Iroegbunam - to be sold, and our (correct) strategy in buying top XI talents from abroad, we don't have enough Homegrown talents to enter a full 25 Man Squad. Had we sorted Duran and Kosta sooner, we maybe would've hit two birds with one stone, a player we like, for the first team squad and able to count as Homegrown in the future. Still, always nice to see exciting young talent come to Villa.

    Interested to see what happens with KKH. I wonder if we're very very close to the FFP line and he comes into the first team squad for 6 months and we basically admit we can't yet afford a new Starter at RB and then in the summer we review the two and one goes on loan whilst the other stays / we sell KKH. Or whether he is just sold this month, take the full profit into the FFP and then amortize Kosta's fee over 5 years and allow us to take a chance on a player we believe in more than KKH at this stage.
  12. HalfTimePost
    But it's still a KKh replacement? He was supposed to step into that part of the squad, he won't be and this kid may be doing so. I don't think it needs to be so back and white. If this kid, an 18 YO attacking RB, comes in and goes out on loan, within days of KKH being brought back from loan and sold.. it's pretty clear he's the replacement no?
  13. HalfTimePost
    I look forward to the rumours of him falling out with Unai every few weeks
  14. HalfTimePost
    There's a surprise, would be around the first team exactly as much as KKH
  15. HalfTimePost
    As was KKH, I'm not believing he comes in immediately for the first team squad. Assuming it's real he's either loaned now or in the summer imo. Happy to be proven wrong but can't imagine plucking an 18yo from Red Star Belgrade in January that he's the Cash upgrade we've been hoping for to improve us in the run in of this incredible season.
  16. HalfTimePost
    Random enough that I'll believe it, perhaps a KKH replacement for the Academy.
  17. HalfTimePost
    Why did Emi take a full 30 seconds to take his GK?
  18. HalfTimePost
    Cheers Unai
  19. HalfTimePost
    What the ****
  20. HalfTimePost
    Duran
  21. HalfTimePost
    Zaniolo for McGinn please
  22. HalfTimePost
    Liverpool, City, Arsenal and United would never have had a bad referee back so quickly after the Brentford game.
  23. HalfTimePost
    Passing just isn't crisp enough, slowing down so many of our counter attacks, can't afford to waste counter attacks against a Dyche side, they're so compact so often
  24. HalfTimePost
    I'd have left Bailey on for a bit in Diaby's position With Tielemans on. Don't think we gain what we hope to by taking Bailey off for Duran. Oh well. Unai knows more than me.
  25. HalfTimePost
    Diaby off for Tielemans Imo, move Bailey up top and try and control the game more again in midfield.
