For who?

I think he already showed at Swindon he's a capable league 2 player so would imagine his level will eventually be top end league 1, bottom end championship.

Very remote chance he breaks through here now. If Archer with two excellent championship spells and regular goals for the England under 21s still can't quite establish a role here I can't see Barry doing it now.

If Stockport get promoted as looks like wouldn't shock me if they sign him permanently and we just insert a big sell on clause as they have plenty of money for the level they operate.

For him… whether it ultimately means he’ll have a chance at Villa or not I’m unsure - most likely not. But he needs to be playing week in week out for Stockport and scoring goals (or getting assists).  I think the best possible outcome for him (and us) would be that he does enough to secure a loan to a decent Championship side next season, where he does enough again to demand an eight figure fee or a shot at the Villa squad aged 22/23…

Kamara will start as 6 with Luiz, Tielemans and Super John rotating for the other two slots - Luiz can obvs also play 6 as necessary 

Make or break for him this season I think - needs to play regularly for Stockport and bag at least double figures…

Nii Lamptey

With Moussa having just arrived, I can’t see him going anywhere… £90m to open negotiations though…

I love the new badge. I also think the club could have built a brand around it. It’s frustrating that the new team seemingly don’t agree. I’d prefer it if they could communicate this if it’s the case, but recognise there may be complicating factors. Resolving my frustration will rely on whatever they come up with next being better the current badge (tall order from my perspective).

Imperious 

He is doing an absolutely amazing job - very exciting times. But let’s be neither hyperbolic nor small time. We’re Aston Villa - top 6 is where we belong. Any talk of statues or ‘God’ is premature. Fulham, Brighton, Brentford have all been up here - I’m not sure their supporters are talking about statues. We need to finish strong, consolidate over the summer and then cement our place pushing for a European spot season in season out - ideally with a domestic or European cup along the way. Then we can talk of statues.

Dembele any good? 

I was going to ask the same - never thought he was that special at Fulham…

Good signing if you ask me. Had he signed for the kit stealers or Bournemouth etc. there would be plenty on here saying he’s the sort of signing we should have been making. Welcome Jhon - massive opportunity to realise your potential! 

I’ll settle for the best rated Colombian teenager…

Just signed Jhon Durán from Chicago Fire…

First potential signing I’m genuinely excited about. 

I’d take £100m for him…

I love him 

I love him 

Option 2 every single time! 

Ok, might have a couple of beers after all

He’s earned the Leicester game. 

He’ll sign for Palace and become an absolute world beater now…

Bring Doug on for McGinn for Christ’s sake.

It’s calamitous at the moment.

That's not his job. Too many cooks as people are saying.

Have you ever worked with more than 1 or 2 people trying to tell you your job.

Surely it is his job to give set piece instructions to subs coming on?

Looking like the player we thought we were signing…

Wow. This is excellent.
