That was pathetic from bale , he played 60 mins and never sprinted once, just jogged around the place, was funny watching him try get back up the field after defending a set piece

Transfer deadline day is going to be interesting tomorrow. SSN will be scraping the barrel even more than usual.

Have we done business on deadline day under Dean before?

Thought I seen a foul in one of them goals , the defender had jizz all over him

So looks like we are going to be the first game in premier League next weekend against arsenal to have this trialed .

Think it's great that we have finally acknowledged this as a major problem in the game and fully support this to go ahead

What i would like to know is , what will be the punishment handed out to teams for trying to use this as an advantage ( Mr pep and Mr klopp trying to use this as a work around to use the extra sub that they have been crying out for. )???

I am a big follower of rugby union and it is worth googling bloodgate to see how teams attempt to use these type of rules to an advantage

Best of luck to him , never worked out for him here but was always professional about it and never created problems

I think he would be lucky to start in league 1 he isn't championship level

Any update on if we found that key to dressing room Ross got locked in at half time?

Think the answer is in the first post, keep hold of the players , most are young and are gonna improve dramatically in the years to come , Konsa is the one that is improving at the highest rate and might be hardest to hold onto, with sanson purchase I can see us reverting back to system we played on promotion where jack and sjm were playing as 8s , this time keep jack wide and sanson in his position

I've twisted nothing at all. He chose China over helping his team win the league, waiting 6 months and getting a move a top league.

I'm simply questioning his desire to play football at the best level he can. He chose China for 5 years. It says a lot. Was the Chinese league the best he thought he could do?

Only an assumption because I know very little about the guy and you could very well be right about all you have said but it wasn't black and white in the region at that time , tensions were very high with the invasion of Crimea

you dont prove the rule, by quoting the exceptions.

An exception. There are exceptions to most rules.

Where do I access this book of rules

My assumptions are based on these facts;

• he rejected Shakhtar's request to help them until the end of the season,
• spent 5 of his prime years in a League 2 standard league
• would come with a huge signing on fee and wages
• and is 31 years of age.

That's why it's a no from me.

Henrik Larsson stayed in a poor league most of his career, wasn't actually till he was 32 that he left, won the champions League for Barca that year, possibly one of greatest attitudes I've seen in a footballer

Supposedly linked with Alex Teixeira. 
 

most likely bollocks but it’s another name

If this guy is available on a free , plays on the left and down the middle , can't see why not . Reason we don't buy older players is the lack of a sell on value but if there free why not

The 'disaster' transfer window of summer 2019 isn't looking so bad now.

All we need now is Wesley to come back and be superstar

Hope gets few more starts against the weaker teams in the league, great to have around as a squad player and in games like this where we were under little pressure he dose everything tidy and simple

Ugh, Nakamba. Treats the ball like a bomb. Dissapointed Ramsey didn't get the start.

I'd have gone Ramsey aswel but will be interesting to see shackles off Dougie for a game

Hey Pablo have you ever heard of henri lansbury by any chance , perfect for you

Who are a card away from suspension coming into this game? Such a long time ago , thought I remember Targett being one

Was watching Man U and Liverpool game the other day , everytime thiago touched a ball the commutators would lose their #£&@, found myself comparing him to Mcginn , Mcginn passes the ball aswel and overall is more effective in the game, drives me crazy listening to these players and in no way am I saying he is not a great player but they get way more respect than Mcginn

They didn't get us relegated. Richards, Lescott, Bacuna and Cissokho did.

We lost our 2 best players. We adequately replaced one but for the other we needed more help than ayew got. He had sinclair as his support. 

You can't argue that they successful with the time they had with us , they were part of the team that went down along with players u mentioned, I don't care what they do with another badge on them, the original point was the last french player that was successful with us,

And who was managing us during that period? And running the club? And dealing with settling players down? And who else played for us at the time?

exactly. Just because they were here during our worst period in recent memory, doesn’t mean they weren’t good players.

Possibly under this regime they might have been great but they weren't and like I said already yes they moved on and proved they were good players that wasn't in a villa shirt so who cares

I'd say we have a good recent history in signing French players. Veretout, Gueye and amavi all play for champions league teams. 

They all got us relegated, I'm a villa fan not a champions League fan

Really didn’t see this one happening but does seem to be gathering pace. It’s a position we need to strengthen but wouldn’t have been my priority.

Don’t know anything about him as a player so no idea if any good or not although given our track record with French players I’m a little wary.

I was kind of in same mind set that it was further down our list, but when you look at the uncertainty over Luiz and city situation and the fact Barkley is looking like a no runner , it's probably a smart piece of business, on the French player situation with us I found myself trying to think back last decent french player we had and was back at ginola , must have overlooked a few

Really is a funny game , if you asked me a month ago about our cover at CB I would have been slightly concerned, Engels lacks pace to play in premier League and was very nervous about Kourtney after his cup displays, but Kourtney has really pushed on and may even push Mings for a starting position, then we see Dominic last night and he has everything that is needed for a CB pace, powerful and communication with rest of back 4 was great , love to see him in oppositions box attacking a corner to see how dose , looks a star in the making

This must be the end of Neil Taylor, Rowe has been superb 

So who are the names to watch out for tonight ? seen a game on YouTube few months  where Barry had great second half
