It's art. It's not Nike promotional material.

They might be a good combination. But not for a team looking to challenge Top 6 in the next 2 seasons. I like Davis, but he really isn't a premier league player.

Gabby/McCormack!

Not write off - but be able to judge current ability based on a sample of last 30/40 games.

To be fair you probably should judge a player on a sample of last season. If not, then Konsa should be our starting CB.

Even Emi can't afford the new Castore kits for his family.

Poor puppies, so much death.

"Which name does you prefer" That sentence alone should be enough for contract termination.

I hope he would have signed a long time ago, and I think that keeping Villa waiting while being 'sidelined' is not ideal. But if I was 18, and had Barcelona or Milan calling me to move from Birmingham, I would definitely be tempted. What a great adventure and what a great achievement after 6 years of playing youth football in the rainy cold midlands. Money will come his way either way. But a chance to represent Barcelona or Milan might not. I wish he would have committed to staying with us already, but I am not going to begrudge him the move.

I finally watched Ozark during the BCS break and it doesn't even stand close in terms of quality of story telling and character building. Better Call Saul is spectacular.

I really hope they midfield rather than destroy.

That Everton kit is the worst one yet.

Jesus Chris this thread is worse than listening to my missus before a night out.

Agree 100%. I think he would excel at sides like Mansfield Town or Burton Albion.

Football across the world is different than UK. It's common for many European fans to chant and sing regardless of what's going on in the game. The drums and songs keep on going regardless of a refs decision, a goal, a near hit. If you were standing outside VP and not watched the game you could easily get an idea of what's going on. That's often impossible abroad. I once heard an anecdote of a British fan going to see Legia Warsaw with his polish friend and he was surprised that the signing and jumping continued once Legia conceded a goal. The Brit asked the Legia fan about this, and the Legia fan was surprised to find out they actually conceded a goal.

Dark ages, not safe, not inclusive, can the fans please take their seats.

I like it. Choice of hair dress is a different matter.

I wouldn't know, I stopped at 12.

Well, if he did play (regularly) for Man City, there would be a case for him being the best on the planet. As he doesn't play for one of the best clubs on the planet (and hasn't done rugularly for what, 3 years?) you can't really make a case he is one of the best on the planet. If he was, he'd be smashing it in Madrid, Manchester or Paris.

Any news on highlights?

It's not top trumps. Many people struggle across the world.

Who's the Harry Maguire striker equivalent in the £80-90m region?

search. drive. smile. GTFO.
