  1. He's been poor, but similar to Chambers against Warsaw, can't expect a player who has hardly played to come in and totally be synched to the rest of the team.
  2. Put in Digne for Dendoncker and move McGinn to midfield. Should sort out our issues.
  3. Would presume they would have tested the kits during a training session. If it creates issues they can just play in the the training kits.
  4. Seattle Sounders of MLS just announced a rebrand. Think they did a good job (follow link to see the different applications of the logo).
  5. I was in one of the club crest redesign focus groups. The only thing everyone could agree on was that Aston Villa is a unique name. Other than that there were so many different thoughts on traditional vs contemporary, star vs no star, roundel vs shield, FC or no FC, etc. etc. Fan consultation when it comes to design has its limits. Best to leave it to design experts.
  6. There are no glaring weaknesses in our first 11 at least. It's really about incremental gains at different positions and the greater squad. I'd look at the weakest links our bench - Olsen, Traore, Chambers and look for upgrades on them. So essentially GK, FW/Winger, RB/CB
  7. Being USA based - this is a really good deal. I'd jump on it if my local sports teams offered this. I know it's a different sports consumption culture in the UK.
  8. All those get your business done quickly and quietly deals Purslow orchestrated ended up being bad business and costing us a fortune. Our transfer business is a lot more public now but at least we are getting good value.
  9. Problem with Troare and Bailey is there is just too much liability in their play. You're almost playing with 10 men if they arent on it
  10. Great finisher. Rest of his game seems somewhat limited. He was a step slow and beaten off the ball quite a bit.
  11. Allows him to sign with another club after the window closes.
  12. Pretty much this. Did not show anything dynamic or 1v1 abilities to make me think he will be on the fringes of the first team in the near future.
  13. I was impressed with his first few appearances but lately seems to be somewhat casual in his play
  14. Troare and Duran coming on for us vs. Darwin Nunez for Liverpool kind of highlights the gap in our squads. It's what will keep us from getting the UCL places.
  15. On this form, should clearly command a decent fee on any transfer, regardless of his wages.
  16. Don't get the low fee compared to the 15M and 20M rumored for A.Ramsey and Archer. At the very minimum would think his market value is 10M
  17. With Bailey's injury record, not sure how we can sell him off.
  18. Besides the goal, he really hustles
  19. Really good point. He is basically performing at the El Ghazi level which is not good enough and will be harshly scrutinized given the transfer fee.
  20. For what it’s worth, an acquaintance of mine who works in football and has a relative that is an academy coach in Egypt told me his is a real talent.
  21. Nico Jackson looks like a perfect forward for our system. Would of thought Emery would have made a strong push for him.
  22. Pretty much this. Massive liability. Effort should not be optional.
  23. Dan 2X - Rolison & Bardell is a good combination. Heard them earlier in the Claret & Blue podcast. When it comes to Villa - Bardell is probably equally good as an analyst as he is a host.
