  1. Only one I missed was from the Baron I think, I wasn't playing Gwent then. Kind of annoying. Finally got my monster deck to a good level, makes me laugh when you pull out one card then another 5 pop out. Level 15 Geralt card too is boss
  2. What worries me is that it's such a random thing to have (value wise) in is contract that it seems true. End of the day the Delph has the option of not wanting to go, what annoys me is that these journalists/pundits just assume he'd want to go
  3. Isn't the point Begovic wants to play more? Kind of defeats the point of moving? Not like he's going to dislodge Courtois
  4. because of one out and out mistake and some occasionally dodgy distribution you must have no confidence in 90% of the team then Given that we have struggled consistently against relegation for the last few seasons - I think any one who does have confidence in 90% of the team must have pretty low expectations of where we now stand as a club. A seriously high percentage of the squad are not good enough for a team / club that should be challenging for Europe. How many of our players would realistically start for teams like Liverpool or Spurs? Answer is probably Benteke. Ergo 90% of the team are not good enough?? I don't think Guzan would stop us being a top 10 team, but in my opinion he isn't as good as the keepers that we had when we were challenging for Europe on a consistent basis. Comparing our squad to that of a team in the top 8 is ridiculous. Is Guzan a top 8 goal keeper? No because if he was he'd already be there, is Guzan the best we could possibly do right now considering our plight the last few seasons? Yes, I'd argue we could in fact have a lesser keeper considering our last few seasons. Last season the defence got chopped and changed, the midfield for the majority of games gave no protection to the back four. Keepers will always get the blame but when the teams racking up an average of just....what was it 25%-30% possession what do you expect. ???? The point I was replying to was about having no confidence in 90% of the team - which is absolutely the case. My confidence levels in the club / team / squad will not be satisfied until we are back challenging for Europe every year. We shouldn't be basing our confidence levels on avoiding relegation. I can't believe that Sherwood and Wilkins are here to try and finish 15th in the table. Both have repeatedly mentioned finishing in the top half and alluded to conversations with Fox about that level of ambition. So taking them at their word and assuming that the club's vision is on finishing in the top half then I maintain that 90% of the team are not good enough and it is up to Sherwood and Fox to change that. And I'm sorry but I can't bring myself to having to consider which Villa players would walk into the starting XI at Southampton, Swansea or Stoke - that to me should be ridiculous (i.e. the answer should be 10 or 11 rather than maybe 3 or 4) not comparing ourselves to Spurs. PS - Maybe I am getting old but I still remember when we were only 1 or 2 players away from having a starting XI that would match any other team in the league. The world has changed a lot since then though! :-( About three times in my supporting villa life we were very close. First prem season, then it was either once under Little or twice under Gregory I can't remember right now. Gregory recently said Ellis wouldn't stump up the extra 500k for Muzzy Izzet when we were top much of the first half of the season, not that I believe Izzet could of been that player to get us over the line but you never know.
  5. £8m for him with a year left/they have Buckland I can't see them turning that down. Then depends on the player, if he's told he'll be no1 & Sherwoods vision of how we want to play. Sherwood strikes me as the kind of manager that if he can get to talk to the player 1v1 he can talk them round if they have reservations. Back to Begovic, he could very well be our keeper for many years. So 8m a few years on seems good & seemingly we are trying to get him now before clubs come in when his contract runs down.
  6. I've said this once before but the signing of a better keeper could be the difference in another scrap to stay up or a few more points. Pundits talk about a good keeper netting a team X amount of extra points. Sherwood isn't convinced with either of our keepers, so ultimately if that what he deems as a "priority" then so be it. We were all talking about who he's go for, being his his first summer in charge. Richards & Begovic are head/shoulders over the last summer signings in my view. If this is our new level of signings I'm all for it
  7. Could signal a change of thinking from Sherwood, know he says we should be more attacking but the couple heavy defeats may of made him realise we need to bring in better defensive options to allow that.
  8. No surprise there with it being rejected. For arguments sake we get Begovic, surely that's the end of Guzan or Given? Though moving given on will be much harder unless he takes s pay cut for first team football.
  9. The White/blue track top looks like something a tennis player would wear

Guzan got an Inform on fifa ultimate team so surely we should keep him?[emoji6] I don't play Fifa but yes clearly that means he's boss

  12. Some of the bugs are hilarious, my fav so far was a guy carrying a basket but he was moving like he was walking up stairs. So funny, I usually record them when they happen. Floating heads are another funny one or when the death animation of a drowner but they stand up in the water
  13. I understand Skellige is meant to be a different location, we'd all be complaining that it's the same area again but it's just not very appealing to play it. To start I liked the scattered isles but now I'm like "this blows" obviously buying the maps to unlock more fast travel locations helps an awful lot
  14. Because he was out of the team I'm guessing with Buckland taking no1 spot
  15. Fair play to Sherwood though, seems to be surrounding himself with more experienced /older coaching staff. Shows he doesn't think he knows it all.
  16. Re Begovic, Out of him/Guzan/Given who would be more likely to secure us a few more points? That's one way of looking at it, pundits claiming Cech could be worth an extra 10 points a seasons. 5 from a better keep for us could be a big deal.
  17. I'm kind of running out of steam now with this. Think I may have to come back to it, just seems to take forever to get anything done on it. Been in Skellige for a while now, I held off as much as possible before getting here (almost level 24) armor/weapons to superior levels & most bombs ect superior levels to. Getting round Skellige is kind of grating on me, I like to clear all the undiscovered locations but there's no many here. I don't know if I care enough to get them all
  18. Mail reporting appointment is assistant manager.
  19. Excellent appointment, he's highly thought of within the game in a coaching sense.
  20. I don't understand why He's attempting to leave/Stoke Rw trying to get rid? What's the deal here? Saw him linked with Chelsea with Moses part of the deal.
  21. So we're linked to Swansea's third choice right back...oh dear me.
  22. I wish him luck with that He could try Celtic, if he's that desperate for Champions League football. Exactly, he would need to move to a top side in a less league I think to achieve that.
  23. 7m bid from Lecister for N'Zonzi...that's us already priced out then?
