See below for the comments I was referring to which were posted before the "What if Newcastle threw stupid money at us for him" type speculation...
-
Baffled by people calling for Mings to be sold. He is no where near being the weakest link in this team. He is an England international in his prime, who is an extremely intelligent and respected leader in the dressing room. I don't see anyone higher up than us in the table coming in for him and I don't see Newcastle bidding stupid money for him. He makes the occasional mistake on the pitch, but he more than makes up for it off of it. I can see him turning into more of a rotational type player in a few seasons if he doesn't progress with us up the table (Think Wes Morgan and Leicester), but he's one of the few names absolutely nailed on the teamsheet every week for me, right behind Martinez and McGinn.

On the other hand, he could also be a Robinho-type signing for us and kick start a new wave of higher profile signings at Villa Park. Not saying I'm sure he would be a success, but Gerrard played with him and knows what he is like as a teammate and on the training ground. If he wants him badly enough for him to be our record signing by quite a bit, I'm 100% for it.
-
Digne is reportedly on £120k/week and will demand much more than that with his new contract. Ings is currently our highest paid player and is supposedly on a similar amount as it is...
-
Lukaku has a blinder every time he plays against us... You almost expect it at this point.
-
Chuky and Traore seem to be the only ones trying to get something from this... Embarrassing work rate all around.
-
...and on cue, here comes the sub. hahaha
-
They're never on the same wavelength. They either try to be too clever and make a poor pass to the other in an effort to be seen as unselfish, or they take on a terrible chance and blast it right at a defender. We really need to spend big on a proper left forward this summer and relegate one of Ings/Buendia to the bench.
-
GET IN THERE!!! Deserved!!!
-
Nah... Don't you know, he's a bust???? In all seriousness, he's been great so far.
-
When you can afford to pay 100 million on a luxury player (Grealish), you don't really care too much about pushing through/promoting promising foreign youth players by bending the rules.
-
Defensively, he is exceptional. Going forward? Cash is mediocre at best... Crossing is poor, finishing is horrific, dribbling is non-existent, and doesn't have elite speed/acceleration.
-
I like Guilbert, but we need to ask ourselves "Is he a top 6-7 team quality RB?" If we truly want to push to Europe, we need a squad capable of getting us there. I also like Cash, but we should be trying to sign someone better than him, not just good enough for the bench...
-
Don't care who we bring in. NSWE's regime has a fantastic track record when it comes to new signings, so I'll trust them to get it right again. Would love to see us try to sell on some of the fringe players, though. El Ghazi, Trez, Wesley, Davis, Hause (Contract expiring this season), etc.
-
We need to start moving on some of the excess players in the squad. If Gerrard doesn't play with wide forwards/wingers and prefers more narrow 10s, we should be looking to move out Trez, El Ghazi, and Traore. Hell, if we end up getting 30-40 million for those three, there is enough funds freed up for a quality starting left AM. If we get more than that for the lot of them, we can put the rest toward another fullback/CDM/CB this summer.
-
I still don't understand why some players aren't vaccinated yet. Some American sports leagues/teams have mandated that all players need to be vaccinated or they will not play/continue to be paid.

He's also almost 24 and not as young as everyone assumes he is.
-
-
Yes... Grealish didn't start performing consistently until he was 21 in the Championship.
-
Missed the first 30 mins. Just turned the game on and saw the JJ goal. Beautiful run by the youngin... How have we played so far?
-
TBH, if he doesn't sign a new deal with us I can only see him going abroad to like a Roma or Sevilla and we turn a nice profit. He's not good enough for a top team at this point, but it will allow him to get Champions League footy and continue to work on putting himself in the shop window for a top team at some point. I think he's a good player, but no where near as good (or as bad) as some rate him on here. I wouldn't mind seeing him sign a new deal, but on the other hand wouldn't be bothered to see him go either.
-
TBH, anyone expecting Gerrard to do anything close to what Houllier did is a bit delusional. Houllier gave a masterclass on how not to handle returning to a club you had a relationship with and you'd be hard pressed to find any other manager act that unprofessional again. He treated it as his testimonial and not another day at the job. Waving/cheered on the KOP while we were getting our teeth kicked in Touching the Liverpool tunnel sign and hamming it up for the cameras in front of Liverpool crests before the match "Forgetting" to go into the away dressing room at full time and going into the home dressing room first Telling the press after the match that he didn't mind losing to Liverpool because he "likes Liverpool"
-
Could be very possible he wasn't interested in coming to Villa... He's the hottest prospect in South America right now.
-
McGinn is probably the closest thing to Gerrard the player as you'll find in the Premier League at the moment, so it doesn't surprise me to see him playing much better under Stevie G.
-
Would take Trippier in a heartbeat. I like Cash, but Trippier is much better in attack and defense. Plus, we need a top class set piece taker, and he would fill that role for us.
