    He may also hate his little brother, mine is a right prick

    I thought we paid about 29m

    The one difference between then and now is we only previously had the option of loan or sale. Now we can sell with a buy back because of the recent success of the club. Only big clubs can offer buy backs because players don't agree to them if they are choosing to return to clubs in relegation battles. The way these deals are structured I see them as almost loan deals, just structured in a different way. When you send someone out on loan it's partly development, partly shop window.

    id be shocked if that little package cost more than £1.

    i think it would surprise me to see us all of a sudden push a lot of money at something without some pre existing foundation. Everything under Unai has felt quite pre-meditated. Even the transfer out of Ramsey seemed to take an age. If we have any more incomings, i suspect they will be someone that we have previous links with or Emery certainly does.

    Hes clearly not quick but given Unais history with the player and villas extensive scouting network i cant believe we are only just working this out and the first people to ever worry. Hes played enough high level games for people to have tried to exploit this as a weakness, that tells me it isnt and he will easily cope.

    My worry with the recent obsession people have over amortisation is it clouds the fact that we will be losing a lot of money on Digne. Someone is paying for the losses, we shouldn't lose sight of that. We need him off the wage bill, we should really think about this before putting more Money into signings like a dendonker, acuna etc.
  8. cheltenham_villa
    They are thinking.. Money. And judging by the small number of empty seats in the holte, I'm guessing the sold it out. This won't be reversed, I wouldn't be surprised see it expanded as it becomes more normal and people a bit more jealous of the facilities.

    To be honest, looking at our side and bench from the weekend. We dont really have much choice but to go strong. Unai played 2 keepers on the bench, that says to me that he doesnt really trust anyone else. If you didnt make the squad at the weekend, id be shocked to see you involved on Wednesday. A couple of small tweaks for me. Bring in Carlos, Tieleman's, Olsen, and Duran/Archer.

    i still think we really need someone to compete with Watkins. Unai mentioned when we replaced Ings that he wanted someone to compete with Watkins so it feels like this is still very much needed. He doesnt trust Archer and Duran is very very raw.

    while its not the point. I dont think everyone buys a single drink so you shouldnt assume 2 get sold. The lower holte has to be the example here, with the introduction of technology and self service areas they have pretty much removed wait times.

    Im fairly sure that villa listed "bottle tops" as one of the key benefits of the terrace view seating.
  13. cheltenham_villa
    i dont think we should get carried away here, a small minority treated it the wrong way. The majority i spoke to just commented with jealousy of how good it looked. Im starting to think id contemplate it for next season

    I think it was one of those games where he really wanted a goal and knew he would get loads of chances, he probably tried a bit too hard. A bit like Brentford last year where he eventually scored on his 3rd attempt. I really wanted him to score as well, always good to get the season under way. One thing i did like is when Luiz picked up the ball for the pen, Watkins was one of the first over to wish him luck. As others have said, would have been easy to be annoyed as Pickford robbed him of an easy chance. Also interesting to see him come off, Watkins almost never comes off.
  15. cheltenham_villa
    Villa aside, im glad he wants to play.
  16. cheltenham_villa
    what i now like is that if you use the self serve kiosk in the lower holte, they dont remove the caps. If you use the bar, they remove the caps, if you use the Delhi Grill, they sometimes pour the bottle of fanta into a plastic cup. Mental

    I think he will improve with those around him. Diaby and Watkins on form means that Bailey isn't getting the ball with 2 to beat. Cash also getting forward much more to support him today.
  18. cheltenham_villa
    Wasn't it 25 and then 35. I think the key is it has to work for both, if I'm sheff united and you tell me you want a buy back, I'd want it to be worth my while. 50m sounds worth my while, 30m doesn't, maybe 40 is about right.
  19. cheltenham_villa
    Was excellent today but not really troubled. Combined really well with Torres and the quality of balls into the box was excellent.
  20. cheltenham_villa
    Whether it's bad or not. I don't think we can depend on him.
  21. cheltenham_villa
    I'm trying to work out if it is that big. I think any player we buy to replace Watkins would come in at over 50m these days. That's the only way I see him coming back tbh, if he's good enough to be our starting forward.
  22. cheltenham_villa
    Yes agree, from my work with the Spanish, I often find they would use the phrase doubts to mean questions. Tell is your doubts often meant ask us questions about the things you don't fully understand yet. Not a negative connotation.
  23. cheltenham_villa
    They do have the Pie place in the LowerHolte and the Kebab place. Both an improvement but it could still be better. If you want an old fashioned burger and chips or a steak and kidney pie, its still rubbish.
  24. cheltenham_villa
    i know we can work around it, i just still hate pointless processes. Either let me take it in or ban everyone from taking anything that could be a weapon.

    You dont have to sign for normal season tickets, they aren't exactly cheap.
