  1. Smith being a Villa fan bought a lot of goodwill but that has dried up I think. He has to be judged on his record which is not good enough.
  2. My top tip - Smith will not be our manager come the end of the season. Much as I like him he is out of his depth.
  3. Also the Arsenal wank fest from the Sky commentators is pretty annoying
  4. Utter shambles. How many games do we have to lose for Smith to work out that five at the back does not work!
  5. That normally leads to ridiculous ungettable suggestions or managers most people have never heard of.
  6. I think we were poor for most of the game in truth but Wolves were worse. We created some decent chances but squandered them. In the final quarter of the game we sat way too deep and just invited them to come forward. The defending for their first two goals was pub team at best. All game we lost possession way too easily and i lost count of the times we passed the ball directly to one of their players. The three at the back system does not work as it effectively relies on Cash and Targett being the wide attacking threat which is not either players strong point. The substitutions were catastrophic errors of judgement by Smith done, I'm sure, in the belief that the game was won. I think it would have been better to have take a striker off rather than weaken the midfield. Having said that the loss was largely down to the mental strength of the players. As soon as they scored I said to my son they will get another which they duly did. Then to concede a free kick right at the end in front of goal was just plain stupid. We just gifted them the points. The team lacks consistency and that needs to be sorted. I'm, definitely not in the Smith out camp but a few results like today will put a lot of pressure on him.
  7. Very poor performance. We desperately need a midfield enforcer - to be honest we have needed one for years - as we continue to have a powder puff midfield for too many games. More worrying for me was seeing Deano outsmarted again by manager with a plan. Yet again we made the substitutions too late and the team was set up all wrong from the start. Lots of possession but no attacking intent If we have a few performances like this I suspect the owners will not hesitate to make the necessary change. No cause for panic at the moment but some posts on here are borderline hysterical.
  8. As someone on Twitter said: never played in Europe, never scored a goal for England and had long injury layoffs for the past two seasons. £100m is superb business. Makes Ings look like a bargain.
  9. There really is no pleasing some people. Presumably the same applies to Messi.
  10. Which is what I was saying on the JG thread.
  11. This is how you spend £100m well - not all on Danny obviously!
  12. If he was in two minds I suspect his head was turned at the Euros. Nothing to stop any Man City player tapping him up.
  13. As I said in a post yesterday much as I hate MC, as they stand for everything wrong in football at the moment, footballers have a short career and I don’t blame JG for wanting to win trophies and earn much more money. All this talk of booing him and he’s a snake is pathetic. He stayed with us through a very difficult period for the club and let’s not forget Spurs were trying to get for £15m not many years ago so he could I guess have pushed through a transfer then. I thought he would go next season not this but so be it. Just because he plays for the club he supports does not mean he has to commit his entire career to Villa. We need as a club to remove our reliance on one player and £100m really helps in building a much better squad to do that. I suspect that the club have known this was a likely outcome hence the signings we have made and are looking to make.
  14. I check in on this thread a couple of times a day and the only conclusion I can safely draw is no one knows anything. As I am typing this I have 21+ unread replies and increasing as. Based on no ITK whatsoever I think he will be gone and to be honest if I was him I would go too. We can all get dewy eyed about the fact he supports Villa but every footballer has a short career and wants to win trophies and Jack is no different. Whatever plans our owners have, have to be compared to where City are today which is miles ahead of us, much as I grit my teeth writing that, as for me they represent every single thing wrong with football. The various ITKs on social media know jack sh*t about what's going on (no pun intended!) as do various VT posters who say they have a source but can't tell us who that is. Sorry if that offends but that's my view. The real debate should be how we spend the money we get for him.
  15. Spot on! If he goes he goes. A great player and a loss for us but £100m plus for him is a good deal and if we spend that money well we will have a better team.
  16. I'd pony up the money for Tammy. He's a good lad with a great attitude. Can anyone see Wesley scoring 15 goals this season? £40m is however a tad optimistic as a price. I suspect Chelsea are keen to sell him to finance more marque signings so there may be a middle ground.
  17. Agreed its a win /win for his agent. Stirs it up with a Man City move so he gets his money whether Jack signs a new contract or moves to them.
