Leicester had 13 points at half way last season and stayed up, even Palace only had 16

Richardson at LB under Sherwood

Out hope the opponents dont change it

Does 5 game history count as cup games aswell as want to get my dad a ticket for his birthday and his reference has 4 league home games, 3 away league games, 1 cup home game from last season?

We could end up today as the club with the lowest net spend in the league

Dwight Gayle - PL goal every 168 minutes

Benteke at Villa - PL goal every 174 minutes

5th highest spender yet one of the lowest in terms of net spend. If you would of told be our net spend would be less than £!0 million back in May I would of been worried

Sunderland have 4 strikers on

Draw is seeded and with a lot of teams who finished ahead of Blues last season being out last season it is unlikely they wont be seeded

Edit Confirmation

Plus we have seen suspended betting before remember Prince Boateng

Kind of weird that no way would Delph would even be wanted by City if the home grown rule did not exist. If the amount of homegrown needed increases it will be harder for smaller clubs to keep hold of there best homegrown players.

Can see it now they bid £32.5 million on deadline day giving us no time to replace him 

£9 million bid made for Jordan Amavi

 

Aston Villa have tabled a £9 million bid for Nice left-back Jordan Amavi.

 

Tim Sherwood made the offer yesterday and hopes for permission to fly in the young defender this weekend.Amavi, a France Under-21, was hotly tipped to move this summer, with many leading clubs interested, but Villa have jumped to the front of the queue after putting cash on the table. Sherwood insists his side needs cover at left-back and Amavi, 21, is both a quick defender and comfortable going forward.

 

Nice are prepared to sell and insiders revealed that the fee has been ‘virtually agreed’.Villa have also just completed a £9m deal for Lille’s midfield dynamo Idrissa Gueye.It is a coup for Villa with Gueye snubbing French giants Marseille because he fancies playing in the Premier League. The 25-year-old passed a medical and finalised terms on a four-year contract yesterday — subject to international clearance.

 

And the Senegalese star becomes Villa’s biggest deal for four-and-a-half years since Darren Bent signed from Sunderland in an £18m deal which rose to £24m. Gueye said: “Everyone knows England has a league that attracts me, now this is a dream move.”

Southampton, West Ham and Crystal Palace all bid for Gueye, who played over 130 games for Ligue 1 Lille. But Villa insist Gueye is not a replacement for England midfielder Fabian Delph, 25, who has an £8m release clause in his deal and is on Manchester City’s radar.

 

Sources close to the club say Villa expect Delph and Spurs and Liverpool target Christian Benteke to be on board when Villa fly to Albufeira for pre- season training next week.

And Sherwood is still optimistic about landing Dutch midfielder Tjaronn Chery, 27, as Groningen prepare to accept a £3.5m offer.
