Kodjia plays for Bristol City doesn't he?

He wasn't in the squad today because he's moving apparently.

Derby signing vydra... I wonder where kodjia is going

Will Hughes, Hernandez, Luis Alberto, Pantilimon and a CB would be perfect...and ridiculously expensive sadly.

Nikola Vlasic of Hadjuk Split has to be that AM we're after. 

Is he good on football manager?

Am I right in thinking that Hull set today as the deadline for bids for Hernandez?

I believe that was written in the papers yeah. So, maybe I'm wrong. Be interesting to find out who these players are eventually!

By this Sunday evening we'll know basically what's the situation on the ST and AM.

 

So it could be happening or it might not

Basically, an ultimatum to whatever bids we have in, that if a deal can't be done by Sunday... We move on to other targets I reckon!

Now your talking pal I'd like to see this the front 3 could tear Bristol city a new one 

The issue I have is how Bristol city set up... If they set up with 1 up top then our 3 central defenders are marking 1 man. I will be honest and say I don't know if city will play 1 or 2 up top. I just think we can't say play 3 at the back Willy nilly because we need to know how the opposition will set up.

This is an internet forum.

Not an ideal place if you struggle accepting differing opinions.

I disagree. I think it's a brilliant place if you struggle accepting differing opinions!

He has the quality but his attitude was terrible.  Good riddance to most miserable sour face player I've seen play for us. Every photo I seen him in he looked like he wanted to jump off a bridge...

Have I walked into the Jordan Ayew thread?

I was getting so disillusioned with what was going on at villa that I haven't been to a game since we beat hull at home under Lambert. Along with having 2 young children, 1 and 3. But, thanks to what the big Doctor has done for us, I am now organising my next trip to VP with a group of mates for Blackburn on 5th November and also planning Leeds on New Years Eve. 

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Dr Tony for everything he has done for this football club so far. If Deisler could pass this on to him!! Long may it continue!

This would be mine.

It probably shouldn't be, it was a relatively meaningless game vs Everton. But I honestly think that was my favourite ever moment as a Villa Fan. We've won cups in my time, but that was probably the most joyous moment I've had.

I remember having a huge strop when lescott equalised, proper toys out the pram stuff.... Then Young did that and it was the first time my old man ever hugged me. He's a proper non emotion type bloke, but he let it out when we scored that goal!

I actually know a lad starting for hull tonight. Jarrod Bowen. He scored the winner which kept Hereford in the conference a few years back and they ended up folding anyway. Good player as far as I'm aware, but not that level I wouldn't have thought in the end. I also know Kieron Morris playing for Walsall. Both from my town of leominster, which is pretty mad seeing 2 local lads playing at a high standard.

We got de laet, and it looks like Newcastle are going to get yedlin. It will be interesting to see who has the better player. I'm going to go for us. 

Just wondering if bentaleb is a realistic option, he would be a good signing at this level if you ask me. Worth, also, looking at a few young lads in action tonight and see if they are good for a loan.

I wonder what the final spend will be?? With a striker a definite, you'd be thinking to add another 10/15 mill on top of what's done already. We certainly can't doubt the doctor based on this summer.

I know people have had their concerns but hopefully with yet another decent signing it's the De Laet of the summer whine.

Was it funny in the first place?!

Leicester fan here. Decent signing for the championship, it's a level where his issues won't be as obvious as they were in the premier league.

His positioning isn't the best, he has a tendency to rush in to a challenge and get bypassed... but he's rapid and gets himself out of loads of problems with his pace. And he loves bombing forward, might not create a huge amount, as the final ball isn't really there. But his link up play is ok and he'll gain you loads of ground and get you into dangerous position.

He served us just fine in a team that mullered the league. So I don't see any issues with the signing at all, he'd be one you'd look to shit to backup upon promotion though.

I think the fact we've given him a 3 year deal rather than anything higher would suggest we see him as someone to help get us up then become a squad.player. Good management again

Let's not forget, he's said he wants them done this week... Still a lot longer than that left of the window. Which means 2 things to me:

We have identified the striker and are fair way along in negotiations.

We have another week ,nearly, after this to bring more in... Definitely no need to panic with regards attacking midfielders or wingers.

I am 100%

Just didn't seem like a 100% kinda post... More like an opinion. But if you are 100% then I'm glad in a way because for all his quality, it's a gamble and I wouldn't take a gamble at the moment. It really isn't what we need to do.

No for me. Not the right mentality and attitude. I can't see us signing him. 

But you were 100% in the other thread? 

I, too, quite enjoy doing the pineapple with teammates!
