Jedinak is what we've been desperately missing in the midfield in recent years, a born commander who does more than occasionally pass the ball and/or give it away.

I am right here mate. How is everything. Are we ready for the new season?

Hi. I presume you haven't looked over at the Xia thread yet...

An accurate representation of VillaTalk right now:

Why isn't there a statue of him yet...?

We're getting annihilated by counter-attacks, it's something Di Matteo needs to work on in the pitch.

wow Middlesborough have been **** shocking, so we decide to defeat ourselves as they clearly couldn't

We're actually world class, we just don't want to hurt poor Middlesborough's feelings...

3-1. Worst clearance ever.

2-1. Shit.

Some Boro fans on Facebook mocking Gollini. Please remind me which goalkeeper they signed from us again...

We tried. 1-1.

GEstede is like Zlatan or Berbatov strolling around the pitch. I expect a moment of magic any moment

Or Shearer, as his 'magic' is taking a shite.

I'd like us to sign Bamford because he is better at coming in off the right being left footed. If Amavi is fit we look pretty good down the left. 

Transfer Discussion Thread Summer 2016 might be better for this post.

I'm surprised Boro haven't subbed Valdes for their new world class goalkeeper.

Probably not. More of Tshibola action to me.

EDIT - 3 people tried to get that, @Rodders reigns supreme.

Mmmm... Stadium Corners... 

Brilliant. Only club he's stayed at for 2 seasons upwards is at an obscure club called Al-Nasr...

We aren't doing enough to secure the better young talent from Championship and League One. I really think players like Rico Henry, Che Adams and Zach Clough ought to be on our radar.

But.. Rico Henry is on our radar...

On rumours that Rico Henry is heading to us, here is what the Leed's version of The Villa View have to say about it:

Someone posted this link on twitter, I've no idea if correct but apparently it shows that Xia capitalized the club at £400m minus what he paid for it.

' Statement of capital following an allotment of shares '.

 

Yeah, I saw that earlier. It really has no meaning other than showing the value of the assets at the club.

tentative links on twitter with walsall's Rico henry - a definite yes from me regardless of having another lb at the club.

 

Brilliant, young and has tons of potential for the future yet can be a definite 2nd choice immediately. Maybe send on a 3-month loan to a more struggling Championship club* in January to get a few more games under his belt. Recall option if we get a crisis.

* just keep him here that'll count right

Sounds like the fire sale at united, could be interesting.
