Unfortunately, v true. I don’t know the full details of what he’s going through so I’ll err on the side of sympathy. Gotta say, though, his is an odd case and we seem to excel at attracting odd cases.

This. The moneyball approach should take psychological aspects into account but, when signing the likes of Adama and Ayew, we didn’t. V4L, this is prob the wrong thread, but I’d love to know more about what you’re asked to look out for in this regard. Do you need to assess a player on ‘what does this guy do when his team is losing’, for example?

I think we as supporters want professional footballers to have some decency and accept that, as young millionaires, they could at least save the club some money. Of course, as you suggest, the reality is probably quite different. If we can get him out of his deal - even by paying off the remaining wages in full - we might be able to divest ourselves of any non-paying bonuses he is privy to (promotion bonuses, for example).

Either there’s something grossly wrong with the medicals we give or (more likely) managers can disregard the medical’s results and accept the risk. We seem to have gone down the latter route with Richards and McCormack. More worrying is that we clearly did the same with Hogan. Theres a medic somewhere saying ‘I told you so’ about Richards.

Some of these posts are really touching and totally fitting for such a massive figure in our club’s history. You’re in our thoughts, Ron. We’re a special football club - people like Ron Saunders truly understood that.

Noticed the Egyptian and USA flags above VP yesterday. With the owners talking about our history as a club, couldn’t help reading this article and hoping we’d see more about our heritage https://birminghamhistoryblog.wordpress.com/2018/08/12/from-pleasure-park-to-villa-park/amp/ I know it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but I love this sort of thing and would love to see the club embrace it.

JT?! https://amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/chelsea/news/john-terry-back-training-with-chelsea_329434.html i guess hanging around in Marseille was too boring.

We were linked with Huth (and other CBs) at the start of July before the taxman came knocking. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/robert-huth-aston-villa-leicester-1757432 I’d take him. We need some more organisation back there. I’m sure that Bruce saying that we’ve lost 5 to 6 players and haven’t replaced them all refers also a replacement for JT. I thought the young and hungry transfer policy only applied to moves involving transfer fees where we’d never recoup the value. Maybe Huth’s wage demands are a problem?

MOTHERS! Get out of jail free card Brucey
-
I’m baffled by the lack of defensive organisation or nous: that is meant to be Bruce’s thing. If he can’t do that, he’s done
-
McGinn must be wondering where the desire is: that was part of the success at Hibs. Brice just doesn’t inspire confidence. Think about it: you’re a young athlete with the world at his feet. And a big lad known for his writing prowess and playing before you were born ices you advice. Henry might have been a risk but he would have inspired a few of these players
-
All part of the plan...
-
It’s okay: he’ll stop off and sign at another club on his way home.
-
Bruce just isn’t a progressive manager and can’t build a positive team. The new owners will watch us for the first quarter of the season and then compare our performances with other, more fluent, teams in the league and let Bruce go.
-
So are there any CBs (who are actual defenders) available for loan? I like Jedi but not in that position
-
It’ll be v interesting to see how Bruce sees McGinn fitting in. I don’t see him sitting in the defensive midfielder roll. Bruce has his favourites so I think the midfield five will be Whelan or Jedinak in the anchor role, McGinn and Hourihane in front of him, Grealish in an advanced midfield role with Adomah on the left and Elmo on the right. Wish Green was invovled

Pots and kettles, Barnsey...

Come on, Snoddy...
-
Looks like Snodgrass is still exerting an influence from afar. He f-ing loves us and the feeling is mutual.
-
Looks like he's off to Charlton on loan, according to Bruce's pre-Wigan press conference.
-
The video cut off abruptly for me when Bruce was talking about Snodgrass. Sounded like, while being respectful of his efforts to get into the WHU team, he was still interested. Getting him back would be a huge morale boost to the squad.
-
I'd forgotten what a sullen turd Ayew was (and presumably is). Meanwhile, Hutton loving life.
-
According to my NewsNow feed, something has gone terribly wrong with GG's deal...
-
I feel somehow elated and repulsed by this transfer window. Thank god it's over.

Turn off the f-ing fax machines club officials...log out of the inbox...just in case any last-minute paperwork comes through.
