    Would people consider Jordan Henderson on Loan next season as cover in CM while Kamara is out?

    I can't see anyone picking Donk up for a reasonable fee, he's played no football this season. His loan to Napoli was a bad move for him and us as we lost Kamara a week later. Dendonker is on a High Wage which is why it's difficult for us to find a buyer he won't want to move for a material pay cut and we don't want to sell him and book a loss in accounts. So to buying clubs he's expensive. I think a Loan move seems more likely

    He has been excellent for Nice so we had no worries finding a buyer at €4m

    Only one I can see linking us is Football Insider

    Think it's lazy links because Emery wanted him at Arsenal and they got Pepe instead
  6. CVByrne
    Coutinho, Hause, Dendonker maybe Chambers are not.

    The point is season tickets are not the requirement to support Villa. There should be ability for people to buy tickets and attend a few games. Success brings fans the better we are performing the more demand there will be for tickets.

    Sounds so easy finding buyers for all of those players

    I think if we had Pau with Mings beside him it would be the right balance. Mings is 70%+ aerial duels won and is very fast and is a very good defender. We were worried by lack of that dominant big CB when Mings did his ACL. Carlos hasn't been good enough from set pieces in winning first contacts. IF we are to sell Carlos we need a CB who is right footed and has the attributes we need akin to Mings. Defence lacks balance but should be fixed this summer

    Yes, we'd go with 2 FBs or Pau Mings Konsa and a FB. Flexible with which side. We'll see that next season.

    Torres is a good defender but his primary skill is in build up and progressive passing. Build up is absolutely key to us and with Pau we can break and counter though the high press so well. I think he is best suited to LCB of the back 3 in possession and would be perfect with Mings and Konsa in the back 3. That would be the right balance

    I think there's been a fixation a bit too much with capacity of VP, the hope we would improve capacity so that can yield more season tickets available for those on waiting list. When what the club want to do is look to compete with the other big clubs in terms of revenue while delivering improved facilities and fan experience at games. The key to this is creating a path for fans to go to one or two games a year with friends as an event. Go to Villa Park 2 hours before kick off and stay 2 hours after. Spend plenty of money on food and drinks and expensive seats. Doing this while best catering to the season ticket holders in terms of ticket prices and facilities too. Improving the experience for all. Transport links too. So there would be improvements in terms of adding more seats and then maybe in time corners could be filled in or work done to increase that more, in smaller increments of a few thousand to get us to 50,000 while not demolishing a stand and cutting capacity and revenue while it's rebuilt. I think a focus on regenerating the area is a big one too so making it a place people can and do visit when there is no football on. All very positive things. We have excellent owners and Heck is doing a fantastic job. Let's see what he does with the additional sponsors and partners next season. Close the gap, double digit revenue growth.

    We wouldn't have been playing tonight for you to criticise him if he didn't score in Lille

    A tired and injury ravaged team who have run out of road. Still immensely proud of them and this run in Europe will be a benefit to them all next season. Even saying that. It seems Olympiacos did get the rub of the green over the two legs. That's cup football though.
  15. CVByrne
    I think the players want that more than any of us. They are as dead on their feet as it comes
  16. CVByrne
    We need to stop losing football matches. Let's hope Monday is the day
  17. CVByrne
    They got the first goal with their first shot. You need some luck in football they have had plenty of it over the two legs. That's cup competition
  18. CVByrne
    Good lessons learned from this run. We ended a game short but experience will stand us on good stead.
  19. CVByrne
    Not actually true
  20. CVByrne
    That's football sometimes. Sometimes you playbwell and lose
  21. CVByrne
    So what. We are 7 points clear in 4th because of some sensational form from him and others
  22. CVByrne
    Conserve energy for Monday. Lost cause after they got the first goal. Huge ask of the squad with all the injuries. They've been amazing this season proud of them.
  23. CVByrne
    We'll sort it out next season. We need to get over the line for CL and let the team rest and recover
  24. CVByrne
    Ok thanks, internet was my source and had us at 33,000 and 30,000 on the two places that had figures.
  25. CVByrne
    Unfortunately the club can't take 2 seasons without the stand especially as all the new fan areas and such will be located behind it.
