He was sensational 

Does anyone know when yellow card ban moves to 10 games?

Some time late in the season. After 32 games or so rings a bell. 
 

EDIT: Ah sorry, I read your question wrong. Never mind.

Luiz and Martinez release clauses triggered too

Never mind Luiz's release clause. What about when City finally activate that buyback clause? How do they actually work again? I don’t think we ever got to the bottom of it.

what's this got to do with Villa transfers? 

His username is “philosopher”. Anything he says is not going to be relevant to anything in the real world.

I've just seen that I started this topic! I have no recollection of this. Was big ballin' in Belgrade at the time and had just watched the game on my phone, in a bar, on a street the locals call "Silicon Valley", due to the amount of silicon implants in the female population. 

Based on the above, it's going to happen.

Sounds like a terrible place. Just out of interest what’s it called?

When Diaby laid it off for him and he hit the crossbar, it was a reminder that we badly need someone who can threaten from the edge of the box. Some teams will be sitting deep against us and we need that shot to score some goals but also draw out the opponents so they can’t just sit in their own box. 
 
Dougie had a few but Youri strikes it with such consistency. 

Wouldn’t mind seeing him repeating that goal from the FA cup final (last year I think). 

I love the two Brentford lads just bouncing off him around half way. Hilarious.

What a goal though.

So good we’re giving teams a 2 goal head start just for the craic.

Dare I say a bit subdued in preseason? Does Tielemans start ahead of him in a 2 man midfield?

I think Kamara is the one “nailed-on” starter in the midfield. He will be rested for games here and there, but the others will be rotated, if you get what I’m saying.

What does Luiz create? Ummm Diaby debut goal

Something something pre-season friendly something something.

Let’s just ignore the evidence of the last PL season or so.

Your unwillingness to engage someone having a different opinion is if I may say so, quite bizarre on a forum. Either that or very arrogant but so be it!

OK.

 

Was just about to post the same. He’s one the most creative players in his position in the Europe’s top 5 leagues.

For the most recent example, have a look at Diaby‘s goal yesterday.

‘Wait a minute… these are fake hands!’.

Great episode. We could do with Father Romeo Sensini ourselves..

17 caps for the Vatican over 75s. Looks after himself, drinks only very, very fine wine. Can climb two flights of stairs unassisted, needs only one nun to help him get out of a chair.

Would be a fantastic signing. Goes down very easily though.

You take Follyfoot out for a bit of pizza and you get a hell of a lot more than you bargained for.

He is not the greatest player in the world, no. He is just a tribute.

Show some respect. 60% of the time@Delphinho123‘s transfer predictions are correct every time.

So Nathan Dawe (DJ and ambassador for Villa, if anyone is wondering wtf he is) has had some inside info in the past I believe, hinting at Bailey a couple of days before it was announced. 

Posted this last night:

 

Everyone round Unai‘s for a basque culture evening. Traditional tapas (locally referred to as pintxos) from the basque region such as gambas al ajillo and dates wrapped in bacon will be served. These will then be washed down with a local red or white wine of your choosing. The highlight of the evening will then be a 4 hour long documentary on the history of the basque republic and its struggle for independence.

Keeper or not, I’d still prefer to play with 11 players.

“Hunkered down” and “got on his mark”. Does this mean that Dean Smith out-sprinted Unai to win the race to sign big Wes?

Shudders

Article from before the 2016 EL final. Don’t know if it’s already been posted here so apologies if so.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/17/sevilla-monchi-liverpool-europa-league-final

“Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo is running through the team written on the paper in front of him, smoke rising slowly from the cigarette in his right hand, a Coke bottle on the table. Andrés Palop in goal; a back four of Dani Alves, Federico Fazio, Martin Cáceres and Adriano; Ivan Rakitic, Júlio Baptista, Seydou Keita and Christian Poulsen in midfield; Luís Fabiano and Carlos Bacca up front. All men he signed, for little over €25m (£23.5m).”

He wasn't in the squad for the first leg (Levante won 3-1 away). Anyone know why?

Second leg tonight.

You expect me to change my browsing style from clicking “next unread topic” and then spending the next 30 seconds figuring out what thread I’m in to “go to topic listing”?

You sir, can do one.
