But only this year. It would facilitate that purchase today but “paying for it” tomorrow would be a problem. We’d need to sell another AJ next year for £12m. Anyway, this young man has zero minutes in the league and we’re getting £12m for him. With a buyback clause. It’s a complicated loan with little risk for us. We get the upside risk if his development blossoms, which is more likely with Burnley than being fourth choice with us. Great business.

I’m going to buy that training top, and another thing or two on clearance. Anyone got a coupon code for the online store? Edit: I got 10% off the training gear by clicking a link from an Irish supporters club. Just find their Facebook, click the post about FAQ, and the link is there.

Yeah agreed, but nothing from The Guardian or whoever either.

Username checks out. Edit: beaten to the punch by Adam.

No, I don’t think so. I think so far it is all Twitter and low level newspapers. It could be true. But zero from the likes of John Percy.

Not Villa related but what were your favourite monument/museums?

I’ve seen Martinez have bad games, you’re allowed two or three a season. The problem with Olsen is that’s it’s more like 50% of matches he has a howler moment, like against Newcastle where he passed it to their unmarked player at the edge of the box. Over the course of a season (say if Emi breaks a bone or tears a ligament) that’s not two or three bad matches.

I feel bad for saying this but surely that’s 22 man squad plus 2/3 youngsters? I know I am literal there but the difference between a 22 man squad and a 25 man squad in terms of actual people is Dendoncker, Traore, and Chambers for example. Big difference between 22 and 25 man squad.

Tyrone won it the year before last!

I can’t remember the exact quote, you may be right.

Fair point, but wasn’t he about 15 at the time? Funny enough that move could have been detrimental to his development Our previous CEO famously said players who aren’t breaking into the first team at age 19 won’t make it with us. I’ll go a little softer: players not doing well in the Championship at 20 won’t make it with us.

The sentimentality holds us back a bit, I think. For every Jamie Vardy there are hundreds and hundreds of Nathan Delfoneusos and Stefan Moores and Graham Burkes and all the others who’ve come and gone but whose names we can’t event remember. These players make careers but are miles off established Premier League players. (No shame in that at all.) Louie Barry is older than Jhon Duran and has just been loaned out to League 2. He’ll do well to get a “Championship at best”-level career. Best of luck to him, and I hope he proves me wrong, but 99 times out of 100 he’ll be on his way.

Oh, please. The club needs to be ruthless, not pathetic.

Just announced not on for at least 45 mins. Not seen anything official saying it’s cancelled.

Midnight kickoff delayed. Feck sake.

Could we not find someone from the Championship or the continent who’d be a fresh start? Someone like Dubravka. We’ve had the likes of Marvo who would be just fine in a CM emergency. We don’t have that for goalkeeper, we have a liability that nobody trusts. Would be great to see someone like Heaton in on a one or two year deal.

They’re the same age really (only a dew months apart) but Saka was starting Premier League matches 3 or 4 years ago. I doubt JPB will ever play for England.

In all seriousness, nice to see us basically playing our U-21s for thirty minutes. Some excellent players there. Kellyman is unreal for a 17 year old. Plays like a 20/21 year old.
