  1. Just around 24 miles from Leverkusen. I guess Unai and Co are getting their man again. Next stop for our plane? Barcelona? Milan? Turin?
  2. As a midget, I would ordinarily be offended by that but, considering that Unai said it, I am quite flattered to be spoken about by a man of such genius.
  3. -------------------Martinez------------------- Cash----Carlos------Torres------Moreno ----------------Luiz-------Kamara---------- ---Diaby------------Felix----------Chiesa--- ----------------------Watkins-------------------- Bench: Olsen (or new no.2), Mings, Konsa, McGinn, Tielemans, Bailey, Archer (or a new forward) That'd be some team/squad if we could make it happen this summer.
  4. I admit that I've never seen him play but, for some reason, I get carried away when I see a foreign name being linked with us that costs tens of millions. I read somewhere that he's the French Bailey. I hope not. Someone who watches German fussball please tell me that he's a million times better than Bailey.
  5. With all these links to the likes of Torres, Chiesa, Diaby and Kessie etc does anyone else get the feeling that Unai thinks he can build a team to win this league?
  6. Clearly, it was a strain for him to leave his home country - that makes sense. He's a young man and so it will be a tough thing to do. Thankfully, we have so much to remind him of home - Villa, to remind him of his home and the last club he played for. Numerous players speaking the same language. Tapas bars to eat at. His management team are familiar to him. He will soon settle down, especially when he goes home to that beautiful wife of his every day.
  7. As Lenny Kravitz would say "all I really wanna know is, who is taking the picture of him getting out of the jet and into the waiting car?"
  8. I hope he doesn't injure himself on honeymoon.... https://images.app.goo.gl/n8vn9SpLLQBUzw7z9
  9. Fabrizio Romano is the real deal. This deal is done if he's saying that. What an amazing signing. A Manure fan, at work, told me last week that he couldn't believe Villa would be getting this guy. He said that the scouts at Manure selected Torres as their number one choice to replace Mcguire as left centre back but Ten Hag wanted Martinez instead. Ridiculous signing for us and a real show of intent from the club. Thank God for Unai!
  10. Without it, Villa Park won't ever be able to call itself a "world class entertainment venue".
  11. I've been in the Doug Ellis tonight for the Supercross racing event. The service was appalling, as was the prices of everything. It also dawned on me for the first time just how narrow that concourse is. It's a safety hazard for you. I hope that the next project we have for development is to either knock down the Doug Ellis or rebuild it and extend it back over the road.
  12. I like this. ^^^^ This now leaves me calm, chilled and, in a total state of awareness to the fact we're completing only signings from abroad now and they'll all be announced on and/or shortly after July 1st.
  13. You'd think that being Brum-based we could get Cadbury's to sponsor us or, someone like Jaguar?
  14. Wow! What is Levy on these days? If that's their way of dealing can we please offer a joint bid of £30m for Kane and Son?
  15. I'd be more concerned about the fact he took time off with a bruise than depression!
  16. Seems to me that NSWE have lost patience with what was going on before. Nas stepped in with the manager and with that working out well it seems like the top brass have made the decision that Purslow wasn't working out too well overall and so has replaced him with a new man. I like the fact they are not just settling for second best and trying to improve us all over the club.
  17. He's an international, FA Cup winner, has lots of PL experience and is still in his mid 20s. For no transfer fee this has to be a good deal.
  18. Monchi was at Roma when they signed Robin Olsen. I think that is a red flag for starters.
  19. A Spanish guy at work, who is a mad Real Madrid fan, said to me this morning that Asensio was going to join Villa. I asked him if he's any good and he said he is but obviously struggles to get game time with Rodrygo and Vin jnr at Real. He said one of Asensio's traits is to try to score directly from corners. If he signs, we will have players trying to score from corners on both sides!
  20. He came back and did himself and the club proud. A great pro to have around the club at this transitional time for us. Thanks for everything, Ash!
  21. Juan Foyth from Villarreal? If so, I can't imagine we would then go for Pau Torres as well from them. Although, I would love it to be Denzil Dumfries.
  22. If we could somehow manage a summer window like this would folks be happy? GK: Steffen - £5m? RB: Walker-Peters - £20m? CB: Torres - £40m? MF: Guendouzi - £20m? AM: Asensio - Free AM: Barnes - £40m? FW: Dembele - Free
  23. I think the minimum we need is: Back-up keeper, right back, striker, attacking wide player, attacking midfielder.
