    If he's good enough to play, he'll play - how on earth is it taking the piss.

    I'd be very surprised if we don't bring more players in. so I hope what Smith/Purlsow have said in public is smoke and mirrors. If Purslow described the 3 players we have signed as "replacing Jack" then how are we expecting to finish any higher than eleventh without further strengthening?

    The statement on the website says he's "departing Aston Villa" - doesn't say anything about the youth academy. If this was planned, it wouldn't be two days before our first fixture - so I think there is something to read into. I just hope it's not upsetting personal news, or anything of that nature.

    The questions I was asking our club reporter to ask are literally no different to the one's Smith has just answered in an interview with Sky Sports. Link to article e.g. to my Ings/Watkins question: ""Watkins hasn't played wide for a couple of years," says Smith. "I didn't bring him in to play there. He scored 26 goals for Brentford playing as a centre-forward in the Championship and came to us and got 16 goals also as a centre-forward - so no, I don't envisage him out there".

    Why would that be the case when Southgate deliberately sets England up to counter attack any time they play top quality opposition. Sorry but your post is just nonsense. Not sure Southgate benefits at all from this move. He’s never liked playing him, I think it’s personal (but maybe also tactical to an extent) however Jack signing for the British transfer record only increases the pressure to pick him.

    Just not true - Foden’s a quality, quality dribbler. Look at his goal vs. France U21 At 30 seconds in. Foden and Mahrez are two of the most exciting players on the ball in the PL.
  7. Cizzler
    Yep, not been an ideal pre-season at all. On top of what you have said, JT left after a few days and Smith was isolating for at least a week.

    The stuff I read suggested not, and Spurs wanted Kane and Martinez to play together (but I guess all the Buendia stuff was about him playing with JG too...). However the deal looks further away than I thought when I wrote that. As @VillaChris said above, doesn't look like Martinez is massively keen. Spurs looking like less of a pull than in years gone by...

    I agree, be surprised if Bailey makes the bench at Watford at this point. Young has looked good, I would love to see him LW again for a few games. I know Watkins played there a few times for Brentford but his best season by far is when he was moved centrally. I'm not sure he's a winger at this level - great striker though.

    Not being rude, but that midfield 3 would get destroyed. Has Ashley Young ever played CM? Buendia CM and McGinn holding seems very lightweight. It seems like we’re just shoe-horning our best players/new signings in. I don’t think we should change shape and I think it should be Ings or Watkins. Buendia has always played his best football on the right for Norwich too. RM is Buendia/ Traore CAM is McGinn/ Sanson/ Chuk LM is Bailey/ El Ghazi/ JPB

    Didn't look nearly as bad as Bouma's to be fair. Robinson walked off, rather than stretchered. Hope he gets fit soon anyway.
  12. Cizzler
    Looks like Martinez is coming in for £60m. That'll help.
  13. Cizzler
    We haven't been great previously at getting transfer money for academy products (JG aside...). Liverpool sold Harry Wilson for £12m this summer, he's a year older than O'Hare. I'm sure they milked him for loan fees too. Sometimes I think we've sometimes been a bit too quick to let players go.
  14. Cizzler
    Was definitely 4-4-2 first half.
  15. Cizzler
    Did the pre-match coin toss with the ref.
  16. Cizzler
    Yep. Seems strange with Mings in the XI.

    Sing the Messi song
  18. Cizzler
    Reckon he could start at LW? Traore, Bailey and Buendia all prefer the right. Ings and Ollie both prefer the middle. Who else is there bar El Ghazi? Especially as Buendia has a knock, Bailey nowhere to be seen and Ings has only just arrived… it does make me wonder if Ash could start the season there.
  19. Cizzler
    Is he even in the U.K. yet? Wasn’t at VP today as far as I can tell. What’s the hold up? Looks unlikely to be in the frame for Watford.

    It was during a podcast with the Irish newspaper, The Southern Star.

    I wish she'd actually ask some insightful questions. When she interviewed Danny Ings, she asked him what he thought of the gym. Who cares. And now she's asking about what Dean thinks about little kids at Villa Park. Ask Smith stuff like - how Ings and Watkins will link up - can they play together/ or will they rotate - what role Buendia/Bailey have been signed to play (RM? CAM?) - is Young just a back-up full back - will he be considered at LW/RW? - what are his plans to help us keep possession and press better, etc.
  22. Cizzler
    I haven't insinuated I hate him. My comment was "I can't believe he's still here" and was directed at our lack of outgoing transfer activity, more than anything. He's copping some minor flak in here because he's posting drooling emojis on a public forum on a highly emotive topic. It was obviously going to touch some nerves when it's quite raw at the moment. It's not helped by the fact that he's previously ran to the media and declared Jack needs to leave us. I'm sure it will be forgotten in a week. Don't remember any of the others drooling at Jack leaving - but I agree it's trivial.

    Grealish went to a worse team in League One, was scrapping relegation at 18 with Notts County. Ipswich will be aiming for play-offs. Barry has a lot of development to do physically (as Jack did at the same age) - I think this would be a great move for him.

    Yep, Ipswich will be aiming to finish in the top 6 in League One. Really good move for him if he can earn a place in the starting XI.
  25. Cizzler
    Not sure why you have any sentiment towards him, it’s clearly not reciprocated. His 25 league goals are irrelevant. He’s not good enough and I’m shocked he’s still here. Hope he never plays another minute.
