Also shows that there is a bit of a gap between a player that is 20 and those that are still teenagers. Maybe we are expecting too much too soon from the likes of Barry, Young, etc.
-
If they get promoted we need to ask for 20M minimum.
-
If he can score another 8-10 goals in his remaining games at Forest he'll have comparable stats to that of Rian Brewster at Swansea (11 goals/22 games) who ultimately sold for 24M.
-
Could he play in the same lineup as Watkins or Ings?
-
Define dirty. The money itself is from the vast oil reserves they sit on top of and not from drugs, money laundering, illegal mining, no-bid contracts, etc. Dr. Tony's money was probably much more "dirty".
-
Indeed looks like a preseason 2.0. Hopefully they team will have honed in on some of SGs new tactics.
-
Agree. During Project Restart everyone was fawning over Douglas Luiz and saying we need to pay Man City whatever it takes to get rid of the buy back clause. Lots of other examples. No need to rush into anything if we do not have to.
-
Dont get this. Thought we got Olsen so Steer could be 3rd choice and Sinisalo could go out on loan.
-
We are not in a position to stockpile and speculate on players like City and Chelsea. We signed Ings and Bailey during the time we were linked with him. If he goes on to be a world class player then it's our bad luck, not incompetence.
-
4 - League Cup, 6 - EFL Trophy, 1 - Championship. Where are the other 2 goals coming from?
-
Those that follow Juve and Serie A for the most part say that he is not an out and out number 6. Either Gerrard is not so fixed on a "destroyer" midfielder like all of us are or this is more an improvement on Luiz and Sanson.
-
Between all his injuries, the emergence of Ramsey and Douglas Luiz not being recalled by Manchester City - nothing has aligned for him.
-
Fans want players that are consistent. The likes of Traore, El Ghazi, etc. switch off too often and become a liability despite some of their top class skills.
-
Think we have the players to challenge for European spots and be competitive against the top 3-4 sides. Now just need to get a tune out of them - like Tuchel did with Chelsea after Lampard and Conte with Spurs after Nuno. You can't just keep buying players the moment someone's form dips.

Concerned this is not much of an improvement on what Douglas Luiz offers us now. Bentancur might have been off-the-charts a few years back, but so was Luiz during Project Restart when we were all concerned that Man City would recall him. Having said that - there are many examples of players not finding or losing their tune at one club and flourishing elsewhere. Lucas Paqueta formerly of AC Milan and currently at Lyon comes to mind.
-
The team should take it one game at a time. Fans can dream - it's what makes supporting a football club so interesting.
-
He has some great games but a lot of average ones too. Certainly would not classify him as a "player you build your team around".
-
Will be very disappointing if we don't get above 60 points next season and a cup run.
-
Get 12 points out of those 5 matches and we can start dreaming of Europe.
-
Was really poor. Ings starts next match.
-
Second half was the worst one we had since SG took over. Watkins and Mings extra poor. McGinn missing. Some good interplay between Buendia, Ramsey and Coutinho in the first half, but not much else to be excited about. Still have a long way to go to be a dangerous side.
-
Feels like we are in preseason - i.e. players still learning to play with each other.
-
Could careless about Everton. If we want to be a European level team, have to win these types of matches.
-
Think safe standing have to be 1-1 with seats, so it won't add capacity.
-
Think the benefits to Villa will be marginal - just some opportunities to loan players or sign older players who can finish-out their careers in MLS. Doubt we will see an uptick in AVFC fans - not like half of Birmingham started supporting the Cleveland Brows or Bucks due to Lerner and Edens. Really hope the club has a unique identity and does not piggyback on the Villa name. They will actually lose fans that way as most soccer fans in LV probably already support another club outside of the USA.
