  1. Yeah. They even have the wrong number for Sanson and I don't see Patterson listed despite a few appearances for the U23s.
  2. Bedtime here. Look forward to a Sanson review in the morning. Enjoy the match.
  3. You mean like we did with Hourihane last season? If Strasbourg are paying his full wages, then guess we don't have too much to lose, but I rather not extend the drama.
  4. Don't really get this. Either sell him, keep him in the squad or terminate his contract if he is desperate to leave.
  5. Thought those issues were resolved after the Juan Pablo Angel debacle. Club even hired a lady dedicated to player integration.
  6. Best Villa content creator. Production is top notch. I've seen a couple of other Villa creators step it up recently and think it's partly due to Pete setting the bar.
  7. Maxwel Cornet signs for Burnley. Lyon fans celebrating like they did when Traore left.
  8. I find the the #freeguilbert Strasbourg trolls quite amusing. I'm in no rush to sell Guilbert unless we get a reasonable offer for him (probably around EUR 6 to 8M). We need depth - especially with all the injuries we have and Kesler having gone out on a full season loan.
  9. After the first three matches, and with all the injuries and disruptions we are facing, it's quite obvious this will be a transitional year. I'm recalibrating expectations to somewhere between 10th - 12th in the league table. Still feel we have a very good young nucleus and can make the jump to Europe in the 2022-23 season with only 1 or 2 additions and a couple of the Academy players maturing.
  10. Happy with the point. AEG my MOTM. But worried that we were bullied by a promoted side. We don't have the swagger of a European challenging team.
  11. Can't make this up - rival bid to NSWE calling themselves Las Vegas Heroes https://sbisoccer.com/2021/08/prospective-ownership-group-to-use-name-las-vegas-heroes-as-mls-expansion-race-heats-up-in-sin-city
  12. Presume Our team will be fresh come second half of the season.
  13. I'm curious to see how we manage Academy talent that are late bloomers. Not all top talents are ready to break into a Premier League side (especially one that aspires to be Top 6) at age 19 or 20. Most will be ready at age 23 or 24. Will we be loaning them out for 4-5 years until they fully mature?
  14. I don't see Guilbert part of Smith's plans Martinez Bogarde - Tuanzebe - Hause - Targett Sanson - Chuck - Nakamba JPB - Wes - El Ghazi
  15. He's really stepped it up this season. Think a goal or two will take his confidence to the next level.
  16. Would prefer his teammate Lucas Paqueta, but doubt he is available. Check out his goal from earlier today:
  17. Smith himself said there was a lot to improve on the Newcastle performance, so I think raising concerns post match is in order.
  18. Maybe a bad analogy, but I equate sports team ownership to having children. No amount of research can prepare you for the realities of it.
  19. Hope it’s not true, but would not be surprised if that day comes sooner than later. As I wrote previously, there comes a time when it hits these owners that everything is stacked in favor of the top clubs and you need to invest billions, not just millions, to compete.
  20. JPB and Carney now listed with the first team on the official website. Congrats to both!
  21. Our technical team probably sees attributes and deeper stats that lead them to believe he has future potential. The top talents at age 19 are not always the same ones at age 24. .....that or we're doing Carney's agent a favor
  22. Really surprised how quickly he contributed. A livewire.
