    I went for Donald because I always thought Daffy is left-handed.
  2. PerryBarrPet
    Let’s hope we get this deal over the line quickly. If we don’t Donald’s arm will drop off!

    And I thought 88 was two fat ladies! No good for any midfield.
  4. PerryBarrPet
    Yes please. Is this just a wish or do you know something?
  5. PerryBarrPet
    Grealish ?

    4-2-4 is just looking for trouble.
  7. PerryBarrPet
    442 is not the right way to go. Our midfield would be overrun.

    Yes I agree and this why I don’t think Ings will play as No. 10 in the way people think about Barclay etc.. We could easily line up: Watkins, Ings, Bailey (front three as Liverpool) with three midfielders behind - say Buendia, McGinn, Nakamba/Luiz - but I would prefer a top DM in place of N/L. End result a very fluid 4-3-3 with no fixed No.10 but we will have to wait to see what Dean decides to do.

    Ings, in a recent interview, has talked about playing in a “false nine” position. This is really how Firmino plays for Liverpool. They start as a nominal 4-3-3 but Firmino gets the ball in a withdrawn position and tries to play in either Salah or Mane. Modern football requires fluid play so I think it can be misleading to think only in terms of rigid formations.

    Rather be linked to a top class DM, a CB to cover/challenge Konsa and 2nd string GK.
  11. PerryBarrPet
    No idea. Have you seen proof? I can’t believe this could happen but given the damage COVID-19 has done to most economies who is in a position to help?
  12. PerryBarrPet
    Spot on.
  13. PerryBarrPet
    No, just incompetent management.

    What isn’t - Inter Milan story?
  15. PerryBarrPet
    But Pep said he only paid £40m to begin with!
  16. PerryBarrPet
    Cheeky bid for Casemiro ?
  17. PerryBarrPet
    The Villa website show Sanson as “attacking midfield” so doubtful he will be used as DM.
  18. PerryBarrPet
    It’s a nominal 4-3-3 but Liverpool do not stick rigidly to it. Firmino drops deep regularly to play in Mane or Salah. What happens behind depends upon how you want to set-up. The combination of attacking/box-to-box/defensive midfielders depends on who you are playing but in any case needs to be fluid.

    Interesting to think about the attacking options we have now. In a recent interview - at Villa - Ings talked about the possibility of playing as a false nine. This made me think of the Liverpool team that won the Premier league and Champions league. Firmino is nominal “centre forward” but comes deep to play in Mane or Salah - both of whom start wide but end up in front of goal and scoring! Just imagine having a front three of Watkins, Ings and Bailey with Buendia prompting. Whatever system(s) Dean chooses we will be causing problems for most teams this season.

    Linked to Madrid ? What does this mean for Casemiro?
  21. PerryBarrPet
    Top quality DM and CB cover.
  22. PerryBarrPet
    At what point do we start to see Jack as yesterday’s chip paper? Things are moving at pace.
  23. PerryBarrPet
    I am disappointed that Jack is leaving but this is really nothing new. I’ve been a Villa fan for a very long time - my schoolboy hero was Gerry Hitchens and he left to go to Italy where he became top goal scorer! Later Bruce Ricoh, David Platt, Gareth Southgate, Gareth Barry etc. all left for “better things”. Our owners and management have to ensure that we continue to develop so that future players see little point in leaving. Therefore investing the “Jack” money wisely is key. UTV

    So Omar is speculating just like many of us. So no reason for special treatment. All I want are the facts, where known, and the honesty to admit we know very little really.
  25. PerryBarrPet
    Spot on. No one outside of the “inner circle” really knows what is going on yet we have over 3000 pages of smoke, mirrors and guesswork. Shows the level of our interest in and concern for our club.
