  1. You might be right. His demeanour seemed different today, almost resigned to the fact he is a dead man walking. He also didn't mention anything about the next game/next few weeks or about how the new signing all fit in going forward. Might be telling if he knows he is a goner.
  2. I agree. He had done it deliberately but I don't think it is because he wants the sack. I think he is trying to prove we need JT / Huth so has made the defence weak to force the owners hand. Big gamble as he could get sacked before he has the chance to sign anyone.
  3. I noticed that the recon logo has now been removed from the training ground. Another step towards ridding the club of this parasite.
  4. I don't remember any of our previous CEOs being referenced as minority investors before
  5. Villa under Bruce feels very much like being an England fan during the golden era(early to mid 2000s). Very good players used in a system and in positions that don't bring the best out of them. The result... Underachievement. Every match is a struggle and is never a solid routine win under Bruce. We could have Messi and Ronaldo in our side and still find it difficult to beat the likes of Rotherham due to poor management.
  6. As long as luke plays the right tune to the new owners
  7. Can EFL Championship clubs sign free agents outside of the transfer window - the rules explained https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/uk-sport-news/can-efl-championship-clubs-sign-1958427.amp The short answer is yes.
  8. Yes. Sky sports reported that we made a late bid to sign McKenna from Aberdeen on loan with a view to a £6m purchase in January.
  9. I'm absolutely convinced we will get JT back now. Not only did we try to sign 2 CBs on deadline day but loaned elphick out before we had replaced him. Now we only have two recognised CBs(including one rookie) and surely Bruce isn't mad enough to think we can get through to January with that setup. Maybe this is the situation Bruce wanted all along so that he could convince the owners that JT should return. With a few players going out we might have the wage headroom to accommodate him now as well. High risk from Bruce and will lead to his sacking if it backfires.
  10. Not to mention the £30m midfielder they were also trying to get ?
  11. I should hope they are advanced considering the window closes in about 30 minutes! ??
  12. Surely Bruce is going to get a free agent in at CB now the makoudi transfer isn't going ahead!
  13. A little conspiracy theory... We sign 2 players celtic were after and appoint a new CEO who was on the board when Rodgers was appointed Liverpool manager. Rodgers isn't happy at celtic. Could the stars be aligning? ???
  14. For Bruce's formation to have the a chance of working we need a strong mitrovic-esque target man who will stay fairly central. Kodja on his own keeps going in the channels and isn't particularly great at holding the ball up to bring the midfield into play. No doubt Bruce will sign the smallest, weediest striker then either play long balls to him or put him in goal.
  15. I think Bruce is going to be fuming at halftime... 2 players disobeyed his instructions and took shots at goal. Tea cups will fly in that dressing room!
  16. This has to be officially the most boring game in the history of football. I had to recheck the stats on a different app as I couldn't believe neither side has had a shot at goal in 40 minutes of football. Unfortunately it is correct! Unbelievable!
  17. Terry posted an Instagram picture of him and his wife on holiday today. One person said enjoy your retirement, to which Terry replied 'thanks mate'. From that it looks pretty unlikely he would come back.
  18. Maybe Bruce is deliberately leaving the CB until we have used all our loans up so it will help convince the owners to sign Terry? The fact Terry hasn't joined anyone at this late stage adds fuel to the fire . I find it very odd that an ex defender, who builds squads from the back doesn't seem too bothered about our defensive frailties. Only time will tell I guess.
  19. After nearly 2 years in charge Bruce seems to have completely changed his tune after the Brentford game. Now he is saying he wants to play exciting football and that he feels energy and pace are what's needed. Has he had an epiphany or do you think the new owners have told him that we need to be more entertaining? ?????
  20. I think he is stalling for a better offer. It doesn't take that long to decide whether to sit on the bench at Everton every week or play in the championship with Villa.
  21. Apparently Bruce isn't looking to bring in a CB. I think this is madness and may well cost us come the end of the season.
  22. Is this guy signing or what?! ?? My F5 key is now bust and I'm in danger of getting a spanking off the boss for being on my phone all morning checking for updates!
  23. I'm one of the Bruce out brigade but I thought he got the tactics right with a high press that stopped Brentford playing for long spells. We dominated the ball and caused a few problems. Some of the one touch passing was sublime at times. However it was very one dimensional attacking as we looked to cross on every time we went forward. You need to have some variety to keep opponents guessing. He does occasionally get things right but more often than not he doesn't. With Bruce we will never get the consistency needed to win this division.
