If Abrahams and Tuanzabe are Smith’s idea of how we will progress to the next level then says it all about his limitations as a manager.

Unbelievable. I can’t believe what people write in here.
Hmmn two players that are young and have massive potential, who the last year were on the verge of breaking into Chelsea and Man U’s first 11 would be no use to us. We ain’t Barcelona of ten years ago. 

I would be worried about Tuanzebe and his injuries, though.

U can’t build a squad in one window we have gone from championship to prem his appearances will lessen and lessen now 

agreed, getting a bit off the point I was making. Smith does like this type of player, hence the Wesley buy and interest in Tammy

Davis is a mid table championship player at best he be mad if he thought he was decent back up

I agree, but he was back up last year and has been here for years. they obviously think he is good enough for the squad.

Pitarch used 22 mil on Wes to be fair, not Smith. 

strange buy, if you think Smith doesn't want this type of player

Because he was the only other striker available at times 

which goes to show that he does rate him, or they would have bought another

I could build a quality argument against why that's not true but frankly it's all been said and I can't be arsed so suffice to say

Horseshit

Does he? Brentford had Hogan and Maupay up front, he also clearly doesnt fancy Davis

he does fancy davis though. Why do you think he is on the bench every week.

Tammy will play up front with Watkins wide left. It was the plan from the start and the reason Smith went for Wesley. He likes a big man up front. 

Has Bailey signed?

Why do his legs look completely photoshopped from their usual tank like ststus in this?

Just play it really safe and call him Sid

Sid left and went to Bari. If I remember right.

I think the things he's good at would make him a good fit for us.

You are quite right, Winks would be a definite upgrade on our team. 
Anyone calling players shit shouldn’t be taken seriously IMO

First Citeh tweeter to say something like this - got thousands of followers and also further down a French guy with similar following repeating it

 

probably not the right place but they don't really need Kane or Grealish. What they need is Pep to get his tactics right in the big matches. 

Btw I've been watching villa since 1980 and Jack is definitely the most talented player I've seen. Then Yorke and McGrath.

The main thing in football is to be motivated. You have to enjoy your football, to train, to run to put yourself in the media spotlight. I f Jack is still enjoying playing for villa, and he believes in the project, and villa will back him with a contract that equals to what he is worth then he will stay. 

I think I remember an old interview where his father said yes he is a villa fan and wants to play at villa but not at all costs. It has to be on a contract that reflects his worth.  I think a lot depends on if the club will pay it. 

Nice assist today, Anwar is looking sharp. He also plays much better on the left.

Some people are completely deluded, who are we going to sign Messi 

Someone wrote Sterling is shite yesterday. Some of our fans are expecting Ronaldo and Messi or MbAppe

Would be a good buy. I’m all for it. Every time I’ve seen him play he has had a good game.

who is the young lad who has come in the def mid position, he has done well

tell you what, we just ping balls up front to nowhere, you see Bristol intelligently playing balls and passes, and we are just pinging balls in hope, urgh.

we are playing very much like Leicester a few years ago. Long balls to Vardy

El Ghazi has only dribbled the ball out of play three times in this match, apart from that he has looked quite sharp

This is where you see the need for Dougie's skillet in that area of the pitch. They press high and Villa have little answer as Marvelous can only go backwards. 

Nice move for the goal saying that, if aided by the ball almost definitely being out of play.

I always feel that Dougie plays best when teams don't press us. He is best when they sit back and he has the freedom of the park. Dougie often hides when teams press us , and Jack finds spaces to link the build up play. Imo this is Dougies main weakness. together with getting pushed off the ball.

did that ball go out????

looked out to me, good cross though 

apart from that cross Watkins has been poor

Hause looks so comfortable in these friendlies
