  1. So (almost) 3 signings with huge potential sewed up to hopefully add depth to three problem positions for less than the cost of around £16mill before add ons … Another great transfer window
  2. No doubt a v.bad result and poor performance so far … but we bounced back from the away game and we will do again and this game won’t define our season. We will finish where we deserve to over 38 games and never expected us to stay in the top 4 until the end but we will be there or thereabouts.
  3. The plastic nature of some of our fickle fan base shines through at times like these …
  4. The self entitled ego of some fans still startles me and also how quick some are to turn. A few patchy games which all teams go through and the season is over. Look how far we’ve come and then look where we are and find some **** perspective.
  5. So no team ever has come back from a two goal deficit according to some of the posts on here and just when things gets a lil tough just give up … that’s the spirit Villa fans. Have faith we will come back strong and if we don’t then so be it. One game won’t define our season and we go again
  6. I think the money will be there if the figures stack up which I’ll be very surprised if they don’t. It needs replacing if we’re to grow our commercial revenues no questions and has been massively underinvested in other than a refit every few years. Maybe they’ll build a whole new building adjacent / attached to the warehouse as there is plenty of flat space.
  7. Can see them adding an additional floor to the current structure to maximise its size. I know the spurs shop cannot be used as a comparison as was purpose built no expense spared just like their stadium but just look at the sheer size of it. Again makes our set up look pitiful and again is one of the many reasons they are so far ahead commercially taking out corporate seating etc. Maybe also the ticket office block will be turned into some type of experience space as proposed within Villa Live to create one big destination rather than just retail outlet.
  8. That’s literally going to happen instead of Villa Live and be called The Warehouse, which for me is a hell of lot better than what was initially proposed. https://www.avfc.co.uk/villa-park/future/
  9. Wasn’t it Jackson Martinez or Zapata but yes I do remember and was very funny Twitter exchange
  10. Truly is atrocious and fully expect Heck to splash the cash on a fit for purpose space rather than a value engineering solution seeing that the New North Stand isn’t going ahead for the time being. It could assist with crowd dispersal after matches with people actually being able to mooch around and browse rather than being a horrible crowded experience it can be currently you’d expect the average transaction spend to increase drastically.
  11. Lange & Leith would’ve built a huge data pool of players before they left and now add in Monchi’s scouting knowledge, Trivedi’s insights and as you say Monchi has had the time to review and add to this ever expanding list, Rogers will be a well established target based on more than a game and a good 6 months at Boro. Add to this Hopcroft & Harrison’s intimate inside knowledge of Roger’s early development, attitude, ability to adapt and potential. I don’t get why anyone would doubt his potential signing
  12. Ok but 27 is not 28 - with or without an S age wise
  13. Yes but rounding up only works with math and not age … He’s 27 right now and will be until he’s 28
  14. So if his Sky interview Emery talks about the type of players who’ll make us better are not readily available and that there aren’t many who could right now anyhow and he doesn’t appear to mention financial constraints as far as I can tell.
  15. So if I’ve read the clickbait correct Chelsea want Duran and we want Broja so we will swop them on loan with obligations to buy, so they get the benefit towards FFP being Broja is homegrown and we defer buying buying to avoid FFP limits… But both deals will end up cancelling each other out … Thoughts ?
  16. Interested to see what Heck has planned for the new club store as the current one is not fit for purpose and actually just plain embarrassing and should’ve been replaced years ago.
  17. Where is your proof that signing Rogers will not aid this pursuit ? What is your rational to doubt the data led recruitment department ?
  18. Low risk potential high reward player … we will have the inside track of his ability, character, potential etc from Harrison. Highly rated enough for Citeh to spend £4mill on rising to £8mill, yes that didn’t work out they saw his potential. Don’t understand the doubts myself.
  19. Was pondering whether Rowe & Rogers is better for us but this kid from all reports is gunna be a top quality player if he continues to develop as he’s doing …
  20. Aston station is just under a mile away … well serviced by established bus routes to and from the centre, not in a highly built up residential area … Just pondering
  21. The obvious plot for a new multi-use stadium would be Star City… https://news.completelyretail.co.uk/star-city-goes-on-the-market-for-65m/
  22. Inevitable we would go through a patch where performances dipped - that’s the nature of football. The arrogance of some though and short memories of where we recently were is staggering.
  23. Or the real truth is the fans and the survey results were the real reason but yeah why let that get in the way as you have an obvious agenda…
  24. Irrational cristcism will be challenged appropriately. Some posters opinions are just wacko and not based on any tangible facts or any form of reality so they should be treated as such and if they don’t like it come back with an articulated response and let’s debate it.
