If we sell to a promotion rival then it's excellent business because it will weaken them and strengthen us because he's a shit footballer.

Also probably my favourite album cover of all time

Jordan Amavi and Leandro Bacuna set to leave Aston Villa, says manager Steve Bruce

Left-back Jordan Amavi and winger Leandro Bacuna are on the verge of leaving Aston Villa, manager Steve Bruce has confirmed.

Amavi, 23, is set to join Marseille while Bacuna, 25, is interesting one of Villa's Championship rivals.

"We've agreed a fee with Marseille [for Amavi]," Bruce told BBC WM 95.6 after their 2-1 EFL Cup win over Colchester.

"There's a Championship club after Bacuna, that looks close to being over the line too."

Speculation has surrounded the future of both players all summer. Amavi's £8m move to Sevilla broke down last month, while Reading had a bid for Bacuna turned down.

Former France Under-21 international Amavi cost £7.7m when he joined Villa from Nice in July 2015 on a five-year deal.

Dutch-born Curacao international Bacuna, who can also play at right-back, has been with the club since 2013 and has scored eight goals in 129 appearances.

Nothing good, nothing bad. Just went about his business with minimal fuss. 

Definitely what you want compared to Hutton's mad bombing runs.

Relieved that we're through, that was remarkably unconvincing. When did we last smash a lower league team in the cup? We always make it look so difficult.

It certainly wasn't last year, where we went out in the first round. To Luton Town. In the first round, where Luton Town beat us 

Dismal showing. A few positives though, O'Hare and Steer were class.

Bjarnason with a touch

of a rapist

**** me de laet was lucky not to be out for another season there.

If this goes to pens is it ABBA?

 

Yes, and the winner takes it all.

That was nonsense, he got fowled and got a yellow card. Maybe he said something?

The referee is a total turkey

What was the yellow for??

Bjarnason is **** woeful.

Villa panicking

It's hard to find words for whatever this game is...

A sodden mess

When was the last time we scored more than 3 goals?

Are we time wasting 2-0 up against Colchester united?

Just once (in some meaningless fixture) or even better for some other team I'd love to see a Samba/Richards pairing in CB.

You know, for the comedy factor.

Hutton and bacuna fullbacks, Bunn in goal, mmm yes

Are there only like 6 people in Colchester? I thought more people would turn up for the Villa but maybe I'm just being arrogant...

I imagine most people haven't bothered because of the weather

It's a fine game for the neutral.

Although I doubt they'll be many neutrals tuning in for Villa vs Colchester in the1st round of the League Cup.

 

We're the main event thank you very much

That was clown defending.

Lol what a goal

I don't think green was trying to score, it looked to me like he was shielding it in

Adomah completely off the pace so far this game
