    I was hopeful of a couple of transfers in the winter, but given the Covid outbreak and its potential consequences, I just want to get through this season, have everyone vaccinated and go for a few blockbuster signings in the summer.

    First and foremost hope the players and staff are doing well and the ones who may have symptoms recover quickly. This definitely throughs a wrench into our PL season. Thank goodness we've already picked-up a decent number of points and are well away from a relegation scrap.

    The signings of Martinez and Cash in positions where most of us thought we were solid enough gives me confidence in our recruitment strategy. I believe Smith and his team know exactly which areas need upgrading, competition or depth.

    Came here to post the same. I know Troare has put in a few good balls, but on balance he has been mediocre taking set pieces.

    I'm also in the "go for it" camp.
  6. nepal_villan
    Pretty much my sentiments as well. But would much prefer bringing in a proper striker to have the flexibility to send him on a loan.
  7. nepal_villan
    We are a very good side. That is all.
  8. nepal_villan
    As long as we keep progressing, can't see Grealish being in a rush to leave. Minimum we will have him for another 1.5 seasons.
  9. nepal_villan
    Think we have a side to win a trophy this year. Hope we give the FA Cup a real go. For ManUtd, would put Barkley in for Traore and switch Grealish to the right wing. Mings in for Hause.

    We are a very competent side. Players looked gassed though. Can't see us doing much second-half. Will likely need something off of a set piece or some Grealish magic.

    My prediction is that we will get plenty of chances. Result will depend on if we can convert them. If we do I envision a 3-2 victory.

    Reassuring to see Crystal Palace score against Leicester and West Brom getting a draw against Liverpool. Makes our performance against them that the more impressive. Also Burnley had far more opportunities against Leeds than against us and were unlucky to have a goal disallowed and given a penalty against them.

    Reassuring to read the quotes from Smith about the signing and Traore's attitude.

    The NSWE Board

    nepal_villan replied to a topic in Villa Talk

    The commercial revenues (beyond TV money) of these clubs are significantly higher than other clubs in the Premier League. That's where there is a major chasm that needs to be narrowed by clubs like Villa and Everton or else FFP will get in the way of squad development. The other day I was listening to an interview with the Milwaukee Bucks General Manager where he mentioned trading notes with Aston Villa on Covid protocols at venue. Hopefully, they are also exchanging best practices on the commercial and marketing side.

    Just listened to the Crystal Palace review. Enjoying the sober analysis from Jugsy and Chadsy and helps differentiate the podcast from a few others where the guests tend to be more emotional in their analysis.

    What's impressive is that we are really in control matches and creating so many chances. It's not like we are just getting lucky and nicking a few victories.
  17. nepal_villan
    It's pretty clear we can create chances against any team, therefore in games like this it is really about taking them. Chelsea will score 1-2 goals, it's whether we can find the net 3 times. Think we win 3-2 with Watkins and Grealish scoring - they are due.
  18. nepal_villan
    I definitely was one of the most critical voices of the initial signing and I'm still here Great to see the form he has been on in the last 2 matches - long may it continue.
  19. nepal_villan
    Can you do a similar one for top 4 (i.e. UCL qualification)?
  20. nepal_villan
    He's been our MOM the last 1.5 games. I'll owe a massive apology if he keeps this up.
  21. nepal_villan
    The first alone could have been a red card for a pretty violent looking stamp. Really let us down today.
  22. nepal_villan
    He signed in Dec 2018. Purslow would have been CEO then and Smith the head coach. So can't really blame anyone but our current management if the contract is indeed so toxic.
  23. nepal_villan
    I'd go for someone experienced who is willing to be a squad player. Deeney? He seems to have a lot of positive things to say about Villa and Dean Smith these days. Then loan out Davis and Wes so they get matches.
  24. nepal_villan
    He is contracted for a few more years, so hopefully he impresses at Hajduk Split and someone comes in for him.

    2 wins. CP and one out of Spurs/Everton.
