  1. Don't see us bringing in a central midfielder until we fully see how McGinn, Luiz and Sanson progress. Feel Smith has a lot of confidence in them.
  2. France just have not clicked this tournament. Switzerland playing smart and have France on the ropes.
  3. I'm very critical of him too, but that was a good piece.
  4. Greg Evans had a good piece in The Athletic about the very professional way we recruit academy players, including making sure the recruiter knows the names of all family members and presenting a thorough report on how the club specifically see them developing in the academy. Presume the same would be done for first team targets. Perhaps Purslow and Lange blew away ESR with a PowerPoint.
  5. Think it's between ESR and Julian Alvarez. We are basically reallocating the Barkley money to one of them.
  6. Guess hanging out with supermodels all the time gets boring after a while.
  7. TalkSport did not hire Gabby for his football insights. They hired him to be a troll and grab attention.
  8. I know it does not work this way, but rather just Grealish leave on a free in 4 years time than sell him now. 4 more years of Grealish to this club is worth a hell lot more than 100M.
  9. Yeah, he just recently launched his channel. You can see he puts effort into the craft. Not just another Villa fan with a microphone.
  10. I know there is an allure about the Champions League, but competitively the Premier League is equal to it. If you look at Man City's UCL opponents last season, only PSG and Dortmund would have likely been in the top six of the Premier League. My point being - competitively Jack is essentially playing at the highest levels of football already. Aston Villa played 4 matches against the UCL finalists and 6 against the quarterfinalists last season.
  11. Well done by his agent. Just doubled Jack's salary by making a few phone calls to the tabloids on a Friday morning.
  12. Just did a quick lap around the Internet. Looks like bullshit. TalkSport already discussing other topics. Wouldn't do so if this was a legit story and a major scoop for them.
  13. Manchester United also with a dodgy Asian bookmaker whose website is "under construction". Unlike us, they didn't bother to do a presser.
  14. I'm not English, so frankly I want England to lose to Germany/France in the next round and all the drama around Grealish and Mings to end and for them to get some rest and start the Premier League season with a major chip on their shoulder.
  15. Looks like Saliba is not part of Arsenal's plans for the upcoming season. Might be a good option for us. Wonder what Arsenal's asking price would be?
  16. Didnt he just have 1 year left on his contract? Probably could have signed him for a similar amount if we had gone for him.
  17. Curious how he does in the Premier League. We can always go in for him again after Norwich get relegated.
  18. Better to have something than nothing, but the fact that it's a dodgy Asian bookmaker and not a more established brand means we still have a ways to go on the commercial side as a club.
  19. Could be that Jack has some sort of Image Rights clause in his contract or you need to be at a certain partner level to be able to use his image.
  20. Being able to close the revenue gap with the top six clubs. That would essentially mean we are in a position to compete for trophies and Europe on a regular basis.
