Just did the calculation.

Our average Premier league finish is 10th.

We're 11th.

Get a **** grip. It's pathetic. 

In the space of just two full seasons, Dean Smith has taken us from bottom half of the championship and returned us to what we historically usually were in the Premier league. 

And it's not enough. 

For a fair and balanced discussion can you calculate our PL average net spend? Please feel free to use football inflation if you have to

It was I who first linked to the interview, Smith didn't say he was a results man as such, he said that he focuses on performances rather than results, which isn't the same thing, you can focus on performances with the idea being that that's the best way of getting results, it's kind of logical really, but some tried to twist it to make it as if Smith wasn't bothered about results.

 

How can someone claim he's more interested in performances and results and openly say he didn't watch a game back where we got dominated?

Who was the lad who did the mazy run out of defence? He had three players backing off him. 

Carney Chukwuemeka, only 16 years old playing in an u23 match. Massive talent

Ermmm I’m aware Aston Villa is not in london

Clubs from all round the country do business in London, Purslow is based there and given it's on deadline day then I'm surprised they could be doing the deal there

At the start of the rumour when people were doubting Sadiku they were met with replies of that he's well connected with Kosovan players and knows Rashica personally because they were in a TV studio together. But now he's said something that people don't want to hear he's suddenly talking rubbish.

I don't think anyone with a reputation for being reliable has reported our interest in Rashica, only one I can think of is Gregg Evans, but he gets things wrong and  as with most journalists makes a lot of guesses based on the current rumours.

Wouldn't surprise me if we were interested in Rashica but it was as a possible replacement for Grealish.

You do realise Baumann (Werders Director of Football) has confirmed we were in talks for the player? 

Instead of admitting you were wrong to begin with about us not being interested in him you seem determined to shut your eyes to the credibleness of the link

 

Also from the Percy article. Would be fine with King coming in if we got a goalscorer like Watkins or Edouard to play beside him

shock

My first post on villatalk, want to talk talk about our current financial situation and who we should sign/sell
