    Derby, Nottingham Forest, Leeds (in the championship), Middlesborough, etc are all the one big team in their city. Whereas SHA are a small team in the West Midlands which have 3 bigger teams surrounding them - Villa, Wolves and West Brom. Plus they have generally been shit for their whole existence, so who would start supporting them? Only if they were forced to by their parents. I would suggest that's the main reasons why they don't actually have many fans.

    With Rashica on the RW and Watkins up front

    Is there no-one under the age of 21 in that squad? Would be nice to see the ages of all our players if anyone knows. I wonder what the average age of our squad is?

    Well its about £2 million per position, so if we finished 7th rather than 17th, that's an extra £20 million that can be spent on wages/transfer fees. It would also help in negotiating the next shirt sponsorship, plus other random sponsorships, so maybe a couple million boost there per year. So if Barkley is costing us say £10m for the year, and he improves us by 5 positions, in effect he cost us nothing. (very simplified i know)

    I think we are done with incoming transfers: Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says he does not expect any more new faces to arrive, unless there are some outgoings. "I think we are quite happy with what we've got at the moment," said Smith. "We set a target of what we wanted and the positions and we are comfortable with that. "We will have to keep our finger on the pulse in case anyone comes in for our lads. If there are outs then there's a possibility of ins after that." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/54381088

    I’m sure Smith has known that for a long time. He doesn’t decide the budget or how many players can be signed. One for Lange and Purslow really.

    Jack Grealish

    Though didn’t they beat Wolves as well - no idea if they played a similar team against them
  9. ender4
    I’m sure I’ve seen Watkins score a goal though
  10. ender4
    Maybe they can’t be bothered playing
  11. ender4
    Hasn’t Watkins also scored more goals for Villa than Davis has in his whole Villa career?
  12. ender4
    Or maybe he is! Lol
  13. ender4
    Ok, I think Smith isn’t going to risk our first team players in this match
  14. ender4
    Maybe to water the pitch or do some weeding?
  15. ender4
    I think you’ll just about be ok
  16. ender4
    I doubt he’ll bring anyone on straight away as he doesn’t really want to play any of the first team in this match.
  17. ender4
    Stick or twist for the second half? Would rather not have to bring on any of the first team to keep them fresh for Sunday, but would also really really like to win 5 games in row and get through to the QFs.
  18. ender4
    Maybe Stoke is that far?
  19. ender4
    I think its just his boner for Barkley making it difficult to walk.
  20. ender4
    so Rashica or no Rashica? No other links left now is there?

    - John Terry and Lampard connection - paying higher portion of his salary than others were willing to pay - the chance to play with Jack Grealish - looking at our 4th place in the league and 4 wins out of 4 this season.

    If a straight loan was the only way to get him, then better on a loan than not to get him at all. Gives us a year to find a great replacement and helps with FFP as well. Also, if he can help push us into the top half of the table, it brings more options of players next summer.

    Tyrone Mings

    Not yet, but improving fast. Last season he had a moment each match where carelessness or loss of focus put the defence in danger of conceding. He needs to improve that focus this season to be the best England CB.

    Here we go...

    A thread to track Villa's up's and down's through the season (without the title chase jokes). Fulham tonight - if we win we probably go 5th, but more importantly open up a little gap between us and West Brom, Fulham, Sheffield and Burnley. If we lose, then with our next two matches against Liverpool and Leicester, we could be hovering around the bottom three after 4 games played. Hard to know at this stage whether we'll be in a relegation fight most of the season, or whether we could achieve the relative stress-free mid-table obscurity.
