  1. If we spend the Benteke money on Austin and Townsend I think I'd probably cry.
  2. If this is the case then it's the final straw for me believing anything the media says to do with football. If the media are correct then you'll stop believing the media? Well you have kind of got me here. Although I'm sure not I'd class some Twitter rumblings as media, even if it does come from a journalist.

  4. Would have been ideal to sign a striker before Benteke got sold, hopefully won't be held to ransom now. Better than getting caught out last week of the window though I suppose.
  5. Great stuff! Liking the way we're doing business so far.
  6. I understand the low clause from his perspective, remembering the fact he could have just ran his contract down if he wanted to go, gave him an easy out if we were relegated or showed zero ambition this window etc. There's loyalty and then theres just being an idiot, I'm glad he's decided he's staying and hopefully the clause can now be removed or significantly increased.
  7. Surely Spuds wouldn't want a fee for him? Would think they'd be happy just to shift him off the wage bill.
  8. Really hope this comes off. Will turn arguably our weakest position into one of our strongest.
  9. He was playing very recklessly, leaving us short at the back by bombing forward etc. But then again it was a training game, be unwise to read too much into any performances that game I think. That said I would nuch prefer him at RB where I feel he is more suited.
  10. Cant blame Steer for that. Unstoppable strike off the underside of the bar.
  11. Nice to see Kozak playing, hopefully get himself a goal.
  12. Don't think he's been that bad at all tbh. Had a nice run to set up Gil on the edge of the box, get the impression that some people were just waiting to call him shit from the first whistle.
  13. Agree. Looks like he wants to bomb forward at every opportunity. Shown he can beat a man and has a lot of pace, seems silly not just to play him as RB.
  14. Been reported its what we're gonna play next season. Can't see it myself.

    Carles Gil

    He's looked OK.... None of our attacking players have looked particularly great, that said neither have our defenders.
  16. Richards bombing up the pitch like a mad man then leaving us short at the back.
  17. What a ball from Bacuna there.
  18. Shocking defending, Richards didn't know what he was doing.
  19. Yet we just partnered with Bet365 and there is nothing on their site for this :/ They did when I just looked. Complete with the live action info-graphic thing they have.
  20. The picture change I saw was their FB cover photo to one without Delph in it, not sure about the OS. Happened about 10ish last night from what I remember.
  21. Nope. Guess he's more Clevery's "replacement" if anything. Unfortunately have to say I'd never really heard of him before him signing but all reports seem to be positive, and the Marseille chairman throwing his teddies out the pram over not getting him also looks good. I'm excited to see him play.
  22. Starting tonight against Fulham. Never heard of him before myself but found a nice piece on him by the Birmingham Mail. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-portugal-lowdown-18-year-old-9636558
