Shame his first name isn't Rick.
-
Who's this Rollheiser guy who seems to be popping up as a possible target on twitter?
-
Yeah - having everything agreed, medical done etc, but only documents not signed, that's pretty shitty. Wherever he ends up, he'll be psyched for the matches against Chelsea.
-
Damn. Whatever your feelings on Emi, another major change to personnel at this point is a nightmare for preparations. Had the feeling this was really going to be the season for him. Gutted.
-
Not a chance that this will happen. 6 more new players? That would be ridiculous.
-
100% - this is how i see it too and don't see much in the summer transfers to change this view. Possibly Man U a step ahead with Ten Hag having had a season, but we should be competitive with them. The key will be putting away the lower/mid teams - can't afford too many shock results, though there are bound to be a couple through the season.
-
I dunno. DL's pass for the Diaby goal was pretty special and not the first time he's done that. Getting very excited for the season ahead now.
-
This Pubil link has the whiff of Moreno about it - pretty much unknown, out-of-nowhere link and from profile looks like a really good back up/alternative to Matty.
-
He did also say this at the start of the window, so not much of a surprise. He obviously rates Duran and will be good to see Archer get opportunities. I wouldn't be surprised to see one more wide forward added, but don't think we were ever looking at a pure striker.
-
And how do you propose they get proven at this level without giving them the chance? We're not going to loan to a PL team. If the coaching team think they are ready/good enough then that's fine by me.
-
Yes. While there are players that will eventually need upgrading, with 3 in already and assuming a couple more to come, we need to keep a level of continuity to build on last season. That was a tight knit and strongly performing group that we need to enhance, not overhaul.
-
Turning out to be a tasty window. Bring on the season - gonna be great.
-
Knock knock Who's there? Openda Etc...
-
Agree with this 100%. Just going on reports such as the below, I can't see both Archer and Duran getting much time on the pitch. Hopefully we go deep in a couple of cups and they do. Will be interesting to see how it shapes up.
-
Interesting reports that Duran is to be kept around/involved for this season. Maybe means Archer will get another loan? Even with Europe and hopefully a cup run, I can't see both + Watkins having enough playing time.
-
That is grim reading about BK8. Really need to get out of this.
-
I work in sports clothing design (not football). That is really bad. Has no flow to it. Not easy with the roundel, castore's wings and the BK8 to make it cohesive, but could certainly do a lot better. The shoulder/sleeve junction is a design abomination. 2/10 Keeper kit is far better, but if the Villa crest and other logos are going green, so should the sleeve logo. 6/10
-
I'm going to be very happy if we sign Largie and Fati.
-
We already had Micah.
-
For what it is worth (probably nowt)...
-
Gerrard to take Coutinho to Saudi - yes please!
-
Yeah - Apple and Adidas sponsorship stuff included. Anyway - glad we can move this to other football now.
-
He might think about it very briefly if there was a big, big wad of cash on offer (which is obviously unlikely), but after Unai showed absolute faith in him by selling Ings and then coaching him to perform at his best he'd be bonkers to consider moving to a club with a manager untested at this level on the way down and out of Europe. Don't think there's much danger there.
-
Tielemans seems like a real wierd one. Not particularly what we are crying out for and with a career going the wrong direction. Was great a few years ago, but (as with most of Leicester) pretty awful this season. Meh signing but will have faith is what Emery wants.
-
Yep ^ that is pretty much how I see it.
