If Zlatan can pretty much cover his own 3/400,000 pw in shirt sales alone imagine the income prospects from getting a Chinese player turning out for us in the premier league.

It would not be easy to get them over here but Zhang Yuning is 19, just breaking into the national team as a forward and is currently playing for Vitesse Arnhem in Holland (only played 9 games, scoring 3 goals)

Pre-season tour of China with him in the team & all the shirt factories in china wouldn't be able to make enough villa shirts

Just saw the highlights of the game. God the team we played were awful

We are in a league with burton, rotherham & huddersfield so he should be fine...

Bullet.  Dodged.

I'd be willing to stake money on Barton getting a red card in every Old Firm game he plays this season.  Such passion*.

 

 

* - read: 'passion' as 'a dickhead'.

Barton has been sent off 6 times in over 300 appearances, 3 of those times were this decade...

Hardly a regular occurance is it

Can't see mourinho wanting him there and he really doesn't seem the type to just be happy sitting on his arse collecting his wages, also can't actually see that many English teams going in for him.

Moyes could offer him the captaincy and a long contract with bonuses/wage increase for getting promoted etc (& release clause if no promotion achieved within a year or two) and it may suddenly look like an atrtractive option for him.

guessing it would take at least £15 mil to get him though

Get ready for Moyes first signing...

I would imagine it would be something more along the lines of Resort world next to the lg arena at birmingham international.

Casino, Spa, Hotel, shopping, cinema, bars, restaurants, conference centre etc all under one roof.

Slap some villa/recon branding all over and incorporate villa village/clubshop etc and it would seem to be a good idea.

Would even be good for fans in this country/europe who travel a distance to games, stay within walking distance of the ground, with plenty to do to make a weekend of it etc

Guess he's media/pundit now so here's as good a place as any.

Ginola is in hospital in monaco after collapsing playing a kickabout game today as part of a charity golf event. Early reports were heart attack/cardiac arrest but subsequent reports suggest he may have just passed out.

Stable but undergoing further tests at monaco cardiac unit.

Best wishes fella

came on for 10 mins, hair still stupid

skybet still have us at 12/1 to win the league if you want to get on before we sign zlatan & ronaldo...

Right now Eric Black is proper stressing over who the hell he drops if we get Bale in for next season.

no need to stress, Bale would be on the bench with the rest of the good players

i like the bit at the bottom of that

RECON is a global service provider acting in fields of activities like healthy agriculture, intelligent logistics, new energy transportation and smart cities. The financial branch is investing in 6 complete industry platforms, 22 independent brands and more than one hundred independent enterprises. The assets under management surpasses the 100 billions

Seems there are a few different versions

Xia 霞 (red sky) or Xia 夏 (summer)

which roughly sounds like sha or she-ya

Yeah we know its the name on the shirt behind them gives it away fella - keep up !

well it isn't samuelson either......

Wyness is fatter & balder than the guy next to him in the pic so unless he has gone on a diet & had a hair transplant it isn't him

Hopefully the docs first job will be to tell mr black to piss off asap

And tonight they take sponsorship & commercial partners to a new level by painting 3 children blue to promote the new x-men movie ..........

Can't believe he actually has a record even worse than gabby, at least he has managed a whopping 28 goals in 166 games this decade

lots of people seem to do this or at least something similar even if the data is wiped thanks to people setting the console as their home console and not deregistering it when they sell it.

When they buy a new machine and start buying stuff online again it will automatically download to the old console, plenty of stories of people who bought a used xbox one waking up to find "free" games every week because people have not changed their home/main console settings.

You do actually see plenty of people sell the consoles used on ebay with hard drives full of games, they generally leave a copy of the profile on the machine but remove/update card details so no further purchases can be made via that account but the new owner will still be able to play all of the stored content.

Just be happy you have some freebies

well this is different :

maybe we could get these guys to sponsor the stadium, would make things simple

or..........

How big is the original picture? if you are only going to print it out A4 size you may well get away with scanning it & then pop the scan on here and i am sure one of these talented artists can just drop a sky in for you without the text and you can just print out the edited image.

not quite the same but maybe they have a few similar shots & might have some others if you ask i guess

Not cheap though at £180 for the jpeg & some restrictions on use

If (when) Lukaku goes in the summer Everton will be like us without Benteke next year & they will go down

Bacuna in goal next week just to complete his played in every position challenge?
