  1. yet saints replaced llana, shaw and lambert with tadic, pele , and bertrand so it can work as well. suarez and bale are irreplaceable really as well for teams like liverpool and tottenham. For what its worth I do not think we could replace Benteke with a like for like, most players wont be as good and the ones that are wont come to us or we can not afford, the money would have to be spent on all areas of the squad. I would also though rather keep him for another year and risk loosing 10 to 12 million off his value though.
  2. Danny ings latest comments about wanting to go somewhere to play first team football and having a manager who can coach and develop him make me think that we could be a possbility if we were after him. Depending on if Benteke leaves.
  3. what a disappointment if it was that Howard guy

    Tickets

    Wondering if anyone can answer this. If someone else has bought your ticket can you call up the ticket office to get them to assign it to yourself. I would assume you can as if you buy tickets as well on the day of matches there has to be a way of assigning the ticket for these situations.
  5. Wouldn't be surprised with the Real Madrid assistant either. Sure I read that arsenal seen him as the one to takeover from wenger so sure Tom fox would know about him. Whether that's true is a completely different story and if it is I think he'd wait for the arsenal job.
  6. Think that rules out sherwood, Eddie Howe etc. screams someone like mclaren to me going off this
  7. Like the idea, maybe we would go for pogba and Rooney while we're at it
  8. inevitably going to be Derby after the Bent, Lambert incident
  9. He is 22. What do people expect at this age after a number of seasons of injury as well, I would say playing a number of games at championship level and scoring a few at the same time is very good in the circumstances. If he can do the same for Forest he can kick on after pre season.
  10. Think that if we get Ki in the formation will be more 3 in the middle with 1 up top and 2 wide strikers for away games when we are hitting teams on the break. Then for home games Cole can be intergrated into the midfield 3 in a more advanced role when we need to break teams down. Can see that working
  11. pretty sure I read somewhere that Senderos and Cole are on 1 million a year contracts...
  12. read that blues going back a couple of years were close to getting Falcao and Rodriguez for 6.5 million all together and could not get work permits as well.
  13. I would be pretty sure that Cavani and Falcao did not have the reputations back then as they do now. so little be known back then it most likely would not have been a sign of intent. I know personally I first heard of Cavani at Napoli and Falcao at Porto
  14. bit of a weird question but does anyone know how to remove the sponsor, would prefer a plain shirt. Know it might come off in a high temperature wash but do not want it to shrink or wreck the shirt.
  15. guzan bacuna, vlaar, okore/lescott bertrand westwood, barry, delph holtby benteke, chicarito bench: steer, agbonlahor, kozak, albrighton, grealish, clark, lowton decent look to a side. wont happen ofcourse
  16. I have been a believer in Lambert but 1 point from 18 is hard to defend and if we go the next 3 games without any points 1 point in 27 you just cant defend at all. Not looking for the villa to guarantee our safety any more, however other teams.
  17. Although not reporting it in the paper because the club has denied it James Nursey put this: James Nursey ‏@JamesNursey 28m @HeyStally tip i got was: deal done (subject to staying up) & new owner has Texas link where #AVFC going July. BUT Villa insist untrue
  18. Seems to be are best area of development the defence.
  19. Anybody else seen this. Bayern Munich meant to be after our young defender Easah Suliman, anyone know if he is any good. Likely a load of crap like when I remember once Real Madrid were meant to be after Gary Gardner.

  20. Yes id say both can show progress, position is what matters though. I would rather finish with 38 points and sit in 13th position than get relegated with 40 points. They both coincide together anyway so its hard to argue the case for which one is right or wrong.
  21. or putting it another way, we are likely to finish with around 38 to 39 points this season and stay up placed around 12 - 15... if we finish next season on 42 points but get relegated would that mean we have progressed
  22. Do not get the argument that points dictate progress. If you finished 2nd in the league with 85 points one season then finished 1st the next with 80 points thats progress. Or in our case if we finish 2/3 places higher then the last it means an extra 1 to 1.5 million
  23. Think it could be a good idea and not a pipe dream. Could see people who care about the club involved and enable us to have questions answered. Everyone would be looking out for the good of the club. Think its as much a realistic idea as getting a new owner is. If the club is valued at around 200 million as well it would allow randy to recoup 100 million. Think I remember reading that a club in the championship or league one is doing it as well. Works well in the German league, we could be the first to jump on board that ship instead of waiting for others to do it and saying its too late and we missed out on improving first.
  24. New owner could turn out good or bad. What do people think about 51% fan ownership, could be a different solution.
  25. Think benteke turning into our main man has dictated the way we play with lambert effectively building a team and style of play suited best to his attributes. Think when or if he goes (although we shouldn't sell and we should try our best to keep him as we moan of non improvement then seem to want to sell one of our best players) the style may change again. Could be argued Kozak was brought in so the style didn't have to change when or if he goes, however I think that was based on more that if benteke got injured we didn't have to move to a style we hadn't worked on. With more time in the summer to work on it you'd like to think that the style could change.
