  1. Hause is Nyland at CB. This seems to be an unpopular opinion among Villa fans, but Konsa wasn't great for a lot of last season either so I'd like a good CB alongside Mings, with Konsa/Engels filling in and getting some game-time to develop
  2. It's not 8 per season, it's less than 6 per season. And he's shite
  3. I don't think he'd be a gamble at all if we could somehow get him (which we won't). He'd probably cost less than Watkins, and is infinitely more proven
  4. Used to be extremely promising. Came through in the same France underage grade as Griezmann, Lacazette, Kakuta, etc. Ruined by injuries sadly. Wouldn't really want him now
  5. He'd be our best player bar Jack by an absolute mile. Very little chance it happens sadly
  6. 34/34 with 12 mins to spare. Yes, I'm just that good
  7. In the original Corriere dello Sport article, it actually links him to West Ham, but then goes on to say they want him as a replacement for Pepe Reina! The usual sites have now translated it as us being interested in him, so make of that what you will. Pretty sure we were linked with him last summer before he moved to Brescia
  8. Goalkeeper and defenders had a very poor day at the office. Nothing really came off for Aaron Ramsey/Tyreik Wright/Vassilev (bar a well-taken pen). Jacob Ramsey was good - I think he's good enough for a loan to the Championship, with a view to being integrated to the first team the following season. JPB had flashes of quality. Chukwuemeka didn't do much first half, but second half improved a lot, winning the pen and dribbling/passing well.
  9. 8-1 FT. Goalkeeper and defenders had a very poor day at the office. Nothing really came off for Aaron Ramsey/Tyreik Wright/Vassilev (bar a well-taken pen). Jacob Ramsey was good - I think he's good enough for a loan to the Championship, with a view to being integrated to the first team the following season. JPB had flashes of quality.

  10. We'd have tonked them if Swinkels was fit
  11. Absolutely shocking from every corner
  12. JPB and Jacob Ramsey the pick of the bunch in the first half. A number of others understandably struggling
  13. I agree that we seem to have been burned by last summer's approach, and Smith seems to be shopping in the department he knows best - the Championship. But I don't think there's anything wrong with buying foreign players - last summer we just happened to buy poor foreign players! I don't care if we sign players from Brazil or Brentford as long as they're good, but the fact remains that English players are incredibly overpriced in today's market, and if after bringing in a new recruitment team the best we can do is blow the best part of £50m on 2 players who've never played in a top flight, nor made an international appearance at any age grade, I'm very worried
  14. I think we need to walk away and widen the net if we're being quoted extortionate amounts for unproven players. Re Leeds, I think Rodrigo will do well for them. Rather than Helder Costa, I was referring to Robin Koch (a young German international for a relatively low fee), and Rodrigo De Paul who they are in advanced talks for, and who would be a fantastic coup
  15. Mikel Merino would be our second best player by an absolute country mile! Not that he'd come to us - he just started in midfield for Spain the other day. So much BS spoken about PL experience on here. You'd swear there were no good foreign players in the league
