  1. How Leeds didn't get up last season is funny. They'd be up with Sheffield Utd if they'd gone up ahead of us. Automatic promotion over IMO. Leeds and WBA will grind it out. Brentford best of the rest but play-offs can throw up any old result.
  2. Another one Smith overruled on and got a backup. Phillips and Maupay we'd be 10th now.
  3. Overall involvement is much more important than who scores the goals. I don't care who scores, I want Villa winning. Maupay has been his usual ratty, menacing self. Wes has been very poor, broken down attacks and generally been stood in the wrong place for most of the season. Maupay also wasn't £25m I don't think? Thought he was £16-20m, pretty sure he was cheaper than the big man. I've checked in my crystal ball and Maupay would have had at least as many as Wes if we'd signed him and been much more threatening overall. It would be tough for him for be worse frankly. It's very clear we got it wrong IMO.
  4. That's why it won't. Vida will also not be happening. Fella is 31 in April and plays the position we've got 4 players who could start with an extra broken one hanging around who could probably get through 15 games to the end of the season.
  5. I've accepted what he is and I'm disappointed. Talented but remarkably inconsistent and has no fight in him at all. If he has two great games in a row he should probably be taken out for a week because he won't make it three in a row. I don't think Dean's style fully unlocks what's in him, but I don't think a stricter manager would get anything out of him at all. Only he can decide if he wants to become a real player by showing some mettle, that'll add 50% to his game.
  6. And it would be forever preserved.
  7. Presuming he's not fit that is. Thought he was still injured? We can't have Taylor on the pitch at all if we want to win points.
  8. Wonder if Belotti was ever really on in the summer. The absolute dream signing for me if we stay up. Such a great target man.
  9. Good chance to test someone else at LWB. Guilbert maybe with Elmo over at RWB. Be better than Taylor. Honestly don't know what to do. If we go full strength, new formation and all, we could still take an absolute pasting. Then again, I've just remembered we've got City at the weekend anyway. Just don't think it'd be good for confidence to get a whipping in the cup as well. Ideal world, we go strong a get a good result. I think that's how Smith's brain works.
  10. What the hell are they doing atm? Floating along like a turd down river. Giving Liverpool a great chance to setup a brilliant foundation. If City collapse post-Pep, it's only Leicester challenging them!
  11. Giroud linked with Newcastle as well. I'll be fuming if he goes there over us. They are guff, he won't get the ball!
  12. I've just done this and it's mad. I think we're going down. Yet being my usual negative self, I've somehow got us finishing 12th. The whole bottom half if very tight. Got Newcastle, Bournemouth, Norwich going down. Other headlines are Liverpool finish on 109 points. City, Leicester, Wolves top 4.
  13. Munas Dabbur would be gettable I reckon. Went to Sevilla last January, has hardly played. Loan be an option, could agree a fee of under £15m with it. Good all round forward, could play wide if needed.
  14. I've seen very little evidence to suggest that sir.
  15. Seems a nice dude. Entertaining away from the pitch, really horrible viewing on it. He's definitely got worse and he didn't start that well.
  16. Giroud has a chance to start for France at the Euros having led the line winning the world cup. It'll be an incredible signing but it's so unlikely. I think he would easily wait until the end of the window anyway unfortunately. He'd go anywhere he'll play, but the closer to the top of the division the better. Lyon have just lost Depay and Dembele is linked with various teams, if I was him I'd be looking somewhere like that.
  17. Excellent. Smack on. Said at the time we'd feel the hangover of Bruce for years and here we are. He returned us to exactly where he joined us, the bottom half of the championship playing terribly. Except he'd spent even more money and had built very little for the future, leaving himself and his successors an unbalanced squad. A monkey could have done what Bruce did, and it probably would have been better to watch. Wilder joined Blades the same summer RDM came to us, wonder where we'd be in we got him in. We'd still have a scary owner though I suppose because I imagine we'd have been promoted inside two seasons.
  18. I agree, but the Suso signings will cost us IMO. Not good enough. All Dean's targets are players.
  19. It'll be an total miracle if we stay up. And we already used one up last season.
  20. Brighton wouldn't be giving direct rivals for relegation anyone who might score for them. Should have got him when we very first got relegated. Would have been perfect old head for us. Went on loan to Brighton and took them up, still there now, should be us.
  21. I swear he didn't used to be this slow? Torturous stuff watch him chase people. He's always been an avoider of any responsibility and physicality. Speak to Barnsley fans about him and honestly it's like a different player. They talk about him getting the ball off the defence and driving forward, it's absolutely unrecognisable.
  22. You think Mee would have bounced off him if he was a bit fresher do you? Smith has no part to blame in the injury. He should have dropped him for his performances though.
  23. Anything that means he has to do more attacking and less defending is a bonus. He'll have some great games there.
