  1. Romano states 2nd ( main) part of medical is this morning and signing this afternoon. Presume a more indepth medical was required ?
  2. Ollie watkins v the rest of the team trying to stop him ?
  3. I get you, it didn't really come into my thinking until I expected us to spend 100 to 150 million each season improving our team once we came back up and then realising there's no chance of that happening especially now we are in Europe, unless we are wiser with our transfer buying and selling. Something we have been terrible at for a long time.
  4. Revan was decent in preseason in his limited time on the pitch.
  5. Transfers are hit and miss financially, digne was signed under our owners, as was big phil. I'm pretty sure the majority of Villa fans would be ecstatic if we could get back the transfer fees for both and take a combined 250k pw wages off the books in order to be able to replace them with more suitable players. I'm sure emery, if he isn't keen on using either of them would also be, due to having more freedom to try and get who he wants. Just like sponsorship, villa Park developments, the academy, selling unwanted or partially used expensive sognings for decent money, all of it is needed to improve our 1st team while complying with FFP. Improving our 1st team with players who the manager wants and will use, gives us the best chance of success on the pitch, something all villa fans want.
  6. FFP means that most fans DO care as it effects the entire spending capabilities of the club not just now but in the future. Gone are the days of 'just spunk another 25 million, our owners are billionaires'
  7. Not linked to us but maybe one we could get that would provide a more sturdy right back option ? Sergino dest the USA right back 22 years old, barca rumoured to be looking to get rid either on loan or cheap sale. I recall him being one of usa world cups best players ( ok just 1 tournament).
  8. Ended up losing 1 nil, the goal came from a sinisalo kick which fell to a Portsmouth player, 2 passes and in the back of the net. The ball played to him was unnecessary. He must be gutted, deserved a clean sheet. Rankine was very poor yet again. Exeter lost the midfield and resorted to long ball tactics for a large majority of the game when they had been playing it out from the back.
  9. Having a good game today, 3 great saves and kept exeter in it, at half time. 0-0.
  10. It's 2 hours in front of uk time and is a 4 hour flight so would be accurate
  11. I guess it depends how old that ' report' is ? If it were 7 days ago then we were in a better place for such craziness. Or if there was a pinch of truth in the laporte interest then swapping a 4th choice cb for a 1st choice left back on far less wages for a season may have afforded laporte ? That's the problem with made up or vague reports, there's always a way you can rationalise it with some creative thinking
  12. €15 million is what has been reported they want with our offer of €4 million plus 2 million in add ons rejected. Some other report of us loaning Carlos to them plus €4 million for acuna. Would guess €8 to 10 million should be enough ?
  13. Our defence is the thing that needs the most work. Do you change it round and have konsa at right back, Carlos and pau with digne on the left ? Or try not to change too much and just have pau at lcb and keep konsa and cash in their regular place ? Or drop konsa and go Carlos and pau ? Also depends if we are actually shipping digne out for decent money, do we risk him being injured ( he's made of paper anyway) ? We then have Chambers who can fill in at cb or right back. Midfield we need to put mcginn back on the right, doug and kamara with teilmans taking up the emi b spot Leaving diaby and watkins We need to get back to being robust, we have good enough players to score goals, we need to be water tight at the back so the extra midfield protection should help the defence out while a new back 4 is sorted.
  14. Worryingly, he follows rashica on the gram. Hopefully tomorrow we get him signed up and in the shirt.
  15. They looked very good tonight against a dirty man u team. If they had a striker or someone who can shoot, they would have won.
  16. not sure why ? It seems that under no circumstances can womans version of football can be criticised by the media. It seems yet another thing being artificially pushed by the media as comparable to the men's version. It's not and never will be.
  17. Sabah are claiming that Villa will sign the Italy international on a season long loan, and will purchase him on a permanent deal next summer for £23 million
  18. Was a good save, watched most of the game and rankine was pretty much useless. Sweeney was reliable and some decent play and Caroll is showing his class. Need a rowbottom Stockleigh or Reid type forward, someone who knows how to score
  19. 30 million is what they want for him plus 225k wages or something like that. Laporte would be better, if the plan was to get a replacement for mings would rather him than maguire for same sorts of money. Would rather get a solid quality right back, zaniolo and another quality physical player as we just looked powder puff yesterday.
  20. That tweet has the old numbers, the newest as in last night/ today rumour is upgraded figures Over at Hürriyet, they state the Turkish champions have rejected Aston Villa’s €30m package This has seen Unai Emery’s side make an improved proposal that includes a €5m loan fee with a option to buy set at €27m. It’s stated Galatasaray are ‘evaluating the new offer’ made by Aston Villa but are not keen since it doesn’t include a mandatory purchase option. Meanwhile, Calciomercato.it state the player ‘immediately said yes’ to the English club and the two parties are working to sort out the personal terms. It’s down to Aston Villa to agree a deal with Galatasaray for the transfer to take shape
  21. Yep, newest rumours are the loan fee has been upped to 5 million € and a straight out fee if we buy of 27m € this would tie in with the release clause numbers
