For the first time in years I'm happy looking at the league table. Just looking at it. It's so beautiful. Thank you Deano.
-
I don't believe in the conspiracies about him being in a bomb squad or anything like that. Otherwise they would have already got a replacement, just like they ruthlessly did for RB and GK. They can't expect to go into the season with 3 center backs. I'm sure we'll see him again when he's fit.
-
Looks like the only 20 mil player on the pitch.
-
Would be very good, regardless of options to buy. We need the best players we can get with the available budget.
-
He was brilliant and it shows how important it has been that Purslow/Lange/Smith waited for their number one target instead of panicking and buying someone else just because ideally players would have been bought earlier. Quite the change compared to last summer, although they had their backs against the wall back then, so it's understandable. Watkins, Rashica, Cash ( or perhaps Trippier? ) also seem to be plan A signings and it shows. Traore might have been too considering how quickly it happened and the lack of links to other right sided midfielders.
-
With Guilbert and Samatta seemingly on the way and whatever has happened to Engels it certainly seems we need a few more options for the squad. Targett, for example, is bound to miss 10 or so games through injuries. Hopefully they finally ditch the stupid no loans self imposed rule because there’ll be some decent players available by the end of the transfer window.

Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Sheff United
BG_Villa_Fan replied to limpid's topic in PL: Sheff United h
Good 3 points against a tough team. Looked rusty but wouldn’t have won it last season so clearly an improvement. -
We've very rarely been able to get the right move for our young players, hopefully this one will be different.
-
A bidding war for Samatta?
-
He looked rusty, which is normal I suppose after sitting out a lot of Brentford's friendlies. Probably because of that his all around game wasn't that impressive but he consistently found himself exactly where the ball was in the box. You just can't teach that feel for the game.
-
I won't believe it until @joshharris12 confirms.
-
Wait, so it can't be Terry knowing him and vouching for him, or him being on the radar for a while, but it surely must be Lange's signing, who has zero connection to the player or Lyon. because he's foreign and we've had a foreign director before him? Weird logic but then again you have to try overshadowing VillaLad's drivel somehow. I'd say the likeliest thing is that Lange has had very little impact on any of this summer's targets and signings.
-
A front three of Rashica, Watkins and Traore would be very mobile and their switchability would make it difficult for defences to mark. We lacked energy and movement in the final 3rd last season and often had too few players in the penalty area when attacking.
-
I don’t know whether we can afford Edouard but we were definitely in for Wilson and he wasn’t going to sit on the bench either. So they definitely want 2 strikers. Edouard would be amazing.
-
Bucks certainly made the wrong choice extending Bledsoe instead of paying Brogdon , however, it’s much more complicated as Rightdm00 explained. It wasn’t a cheap move by the owner , it was a mistake by the GM. Currently it doesn’t look good for them in terms of keeping Giannis past next season, so Edens will have a lot of headaches in the near future.
-
Konsa over Axel for me. He's way ahead of Axel in his development because he's played week in week out for 4 years now, instead of sitting on the bench or the treatment room. They're both very similar, though, and I don't think they could work playing together.
-
Well unless something changes before the deadline and he actually signs. Then you'd still be right he's not signing right now Quit sitting on the fence mate.
-
Yes - like Watkins turned down Tottenham and signed for us. What's the problem?
-
So our statement signing would cost half of what our new championship striker did? Nothing against Ollie, just sounds funny.
-
Always liked Etheridge. Poor lad.
-
I don't rate Josh King too highly, however, I don't see why his penalty goals are used against him. We could do with someone who has a good record of scoring penalties.
-
Surely Rashica would be somewhere, maybe Edouard. Also definitely Webster over Konsa/Engels and perhaps Butland over Heaton
-
No, Rashica usually plays on the left, exactly where Jack played for most of last season. ( Mandatory no-way-he-signs-for-Villa and close-the-thread statements here )
-
Yes yes it's the wages, nothing else. No if we could offer the same wages they'd have come to Villa because they think Smith > Ancelotti. See, I can make shit up too.
-
He's alright. Would be kind of a boring signing. Certainly a reality check for people who were happy we missed out on Wilson.
