Not that ITK given he enabled the Brexit shit show whilst being certain it wouldn't happen. One of Villa's more embarrassing supporters.
-
Over the last 5 seasons he has averaged 14 matches and 4 goals in the the Premier League and is always getting injured. Is that enough of a return, even as a back up option?

He doesn't fit the new, 'young with potential to develop' criteria no, but in another post you made recently Trent, you acknowledged our limited remaining budget in an expensive market, so I think Cahill could be the exception that breaks the rule. Young and hungry is the way to go, but we have virtually zero Prem experience in the team at the moment, he's 'free', knows the club and Terry and has an eye for goal, as well as still being a very decent defender. Admittedly, lost some pace, but all in all, a good punt.

Strictly true, but feels pretty unlikely given the hype.
-
So Smith is wrong on this one?
-
Why small time, your description of their strategy is smart, surely?
-
I love McGinn for all the same reasons you do and don't think he will be leaving just yet... But, without our biased claret and blue goggles on for a minute, what do we think is a fair assessment of his limitations? Personally, I wonder about his speed. And some of those seemingly off balance shield/turns were genuinely thrilling when they came off against poor Championship opponents, but will he just get squashed in the Prem?
-
If he joins, we'll be there or thereabouts
-
I don't disagree with the point.
-
That is beyond ridiculous. Buy a left back for £14m and play Taylor instead.

garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage... Why do you like this word so much?

Apologies if it's been posted already, but this quote: “I have a really, really good relationship with Dean. So obviously if one day he calls me and says ‘Neal, I need you in my team’ I would consider it. But at this moment I can’t be focused on other things than Brentford. Obviously, I really liked working for him, so if one day he wants to bring me to Villa or wherever I would listen to him because he has done a lot of good things for me.” from this Independent article: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/neal-maupay-transfer-brentford-aston-villa-championship-premier-league-dean-smith-a8702426.html written back in December, is rather illuminating on Neal Maupay's future.
-
Do players ever get a lowlights video produced for them? If they did, that would surely offer just us much insight without any context for the individual clips.
-
Yes, it's an appealing thought
-
Maupay could actually be the perfect foil, no? Just saying.
-
With all this talk of new signings it's easy to forget the contribution of people like Ahmed Elmohamady. Egpyt in with a few crucial goals last year.

If you put his historical injuries (which led to not much Prem playing time), next to his suggested fee then I can see your point. But there's a risk with every transfer and overall, I think £15m for a potentially excellent player is worth the gamble. Of all the question marks attached to Tyrone, I was most worried about his casualness on the ball, which only really presented itself towards the end of the season. Don't know if it's fair, but it felt a little bit like he knew his form was rock solid, so he believed his own press a bit too much.
-
More so than Neil Taylor for instance?
-
Yes, I share some of those reservations, which are mostly to do with his consistency. As others have said, he became more consistent towards the end of the season, but at times he did also look anonymous/ineffectual. That said, he will prove a steal if he can show his good qualities, more often than he disappears against a higher calibre of defender.
-
You forget how the modern football fan's brain works... ignore all previous (sometimes very recent) struggles ---> presume club should be in for Neves, cos we're a big club, innit.
-
Too much lolly for Lolley?

When I imagine you saying that in my head, the missing 's' is really damning.

Taylor is 100% guaranteed to lose the ball, or more typically give it away in any attacking move he is part of and he is only just about okay as a Championship defender. Surely we shouldn't be relying on a player with those qualities, even as squad filler?

Please let this summer be the end of Taylor and Hutton in a Villa shirt. They have put in a shift and I thank them for that, but their limited abilities would be even more sorely exposed in the Premier League. Does anyone think there is a chance Smith will want to keep either of them because I really hope not!
