    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.

    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?
  5. HalfTimePost
    I look forward to the rumours of him falling out with Unai every few weeks
  6. HalfTimePost
    There's a surprise, would be around the first team exactly as much as KKH
  7. 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.

    Random enough that I'll believe it, perhaps a KKH replacement for the Academy.

    Why did Emi take a full 30 seconds to take his GK?
  10. HalfTimePost
    Cheers Unai
  11. HalfTimePost
    What the ****
  12. HalfTimePost
    Duran
  13. HalfTimePost
    Zaniolo for McGinn please

    Liverpool, City, Arsenal and United would never have had a bad referee back so quickly after the Brentford game.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. HalfTimePost
    Diaby off for Tielemans Imo, move Bailey up top and try and control the game more again in midfield.
  18. HalfTimePost
    Gotta take Diaby off now I think.
  19. HalfTimePost
    Can't believe Carlos got booked for that. It looked like he thought it was ours and gave it to Dougie. Not like he launched it away from the Everton player
  20. HalfTimePost
    We're playing fine. We don't look elite but we're on top. Everton have broken through the high line once or twice but bar one 1-on-1 haven't looked to dangerous. We are definitely on top but wouldn't say it looks like we're banging the door down, due to take the lead any minute. It's going to be tight until we hopefully get the first and then hopefully the game opens up more for us. The longer that first takes, the more confident Everton will become

    Who were they saying is arrogant just then?

    I think the opposite, I think at his best, he looks almost like a Alex Moreno regen, just at RB. He's basically a winger in some games. But that's kind of the exact opposite type of RB that Unai seems to favour. He prefers Konsa at RB over Cash, he loved Foyth at RB at Villareal. Unai is content with, and actively pushes for a CB at RB, in order to push for this 4-4-2 in defence, 3-5-2 in attack with the RB becoming the 3rd CB. It's why I haven't quite believed the Jeremie Frimpong links and it's why the writing has been on the wall for KKH. I actually thought Argyle showed a path for him at Villa as he's played a few games at LB - which would be his best chance of games here at Villa. Either that or in Bailey/Cash's role. Either way, it felt unlikely he'd break through at Villa in his favourite position when Unai joined, the one Academy "collateral damage" I actually expected.
  23. HalfTimePost
    Yeah Pau has been on the bench for weeks, he starts imo. Tielemans on the bench

    Race for Champions League - 126 pages Title Race - 71 People are more concerned with Top 4. You don't need to run in and ruin the fun just so you can say "I told you so" in April. We know. It's fun.

    Yeah everyone! Enjoy the ride whilst I call you idiots from the sidelines whenever I see you enjoying it!
