  1. does "close to the limit", mean we wont have as much of a war chest this summer as some might think?
  2. I still think he would be a very reasonable DM for us. The guy can play.
  3. He isnt "just a striker" for sure, the lad works hard, can drop off and play a bit also, very well rounded forward imo. That ball to Cash was sublime, added to the pass to Watkins versus Southampton, plus his goals, i cant believe ppl were writing him off, madness.
  4. thought he played very well, very comfortable on the ball.
  5. as i have said a million times, i think he is a very good player, hopefully at some point he might get a run of a few games to really show what he is capable of.

    Matty Cash

    i like that he's not winging high crosses in now (that go out or miles over the players heads), he tries to drive low crosses in, or tries driven low cut backs, which are leading to chances. He has improved a lot over the last few games, keep it up Cashy.
  7. looking a lot better:
  8. Int he 50 minute Martinez/Foster video interview (linked in the martinez thread), Emi said Coutinho was getting fitter, was very tired after games and was cramping in every game, but he said that the recent Brighton game was the first game where he got no cramps and felt great. Its so easy to miss these little things, he hadnt had a run of games for so long, injuries etc, and the recent Brighton game was the one where he finally wasnt overly fatigued etc, just imagine when he is fully up to speed. Lets hope we sign him, he could be our talisman for the next 3 years easy i think.
  9. Interesting that Emi said about Gerrard: He reminds me of Wenger, when Gerrard walks in you get that "wow" feeling, he has prescence, he has the respect of the players. Interestingly, he also said the assistant coach does all the talking, takes nearly all the meetings, does all the training sessions, does all the tactics, he knows so much about football. (talking about Beale). Also a very interesting observation, they were talking about younger players getting nervous as a game gets closer, and Emi said..."yeah, there was a player at Villa, who played amazing during covid...without the fans, but when the fans came back he wasnt as confident, hid from the ball and stuff, i said to him....stop hiding, get the ball and go forward". Interesting, wonder who that was. Emi M also said the south american group have a really close relationship, Emi, Emi 2, Coutinho and Luiz go bowling once a week etc.
  10. Yeah, but to be fair, any move he makes next, nobody is going to offer him 400k. Or maybe someone would.....who knows...
  11. then maybe they should play him more..... He has only started 50%, or 4 of the 8 games he has been available for MK Dons (came off the bench for 2, didnt make it off the bench for 2).
  12. tbh, even if you have to pay him 200k a week to keep him, i cant see how we wouldnt want to do it (maybe 150k if we could persuade him ) If you factor in the wages we "might" be able to offload this summer, or can defo offload (El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Hourihane, Kalinic, Davis, Targett, Kalinic, Welsey), that should cover most, if not all of that money!?
  13. so whats happened with Shakpoke, im sure he was back at some point, but havent seen him recently, is he injured again!?
  14. hopefully this will add a few reddies to his sell value!
  15. is this any good then? I kinda considered trying it, but....and please dont take this the wrong way if you love it......but i thought it looked a little childish.....as in the huge, final fantasy type super massive unrealistic swords etc, and no real narrative/or story ark, other than a tagged on story where really ur just going around killing "bosses" with no real.....living game...... Am i wrong?
  16. I still think he is mostly a shadow of the player he was at Villa. Everything that made him so entertaining and dangerous at Villa seems to have been beaten out of him, he rarely drives forward, gliding past players and making massive yard gains, he doest do his little tricks and turns, well.....he might a little, but he certainly looks like a player who is limiting himself, or being limited in some way, so often he picks the ball up on the left, side steps a bit while going forward 5 yards (kinda like a crab), then just passes it backwards, so sad to see. Such a pity, to see such a wonderfully entertaining, bums off seat type of player reduced to......whatever he is right now. Although tbf......for all of how sad it is, i really also mostly dont give a f***, he can crash and burn there for all I really care, it is sad to see, but i also kinda feel its almost karma, go and win some plastic trophies son.
  17. My lad plays for a local team, the GK from the team went for a trial session thingy at a West Brom feeder development type thingy (hope that makes sense). When he got there he was told the feeder club/development centre had been taken over by Aston Villa, so is now our feeder thingy.........and no longer is the feeder for West Brom. The GK got called back for a second look.....so fingers crossed for him. Villa really are taking this youth thing seriously arent they........we are literally asset stripping the West Brom entire academy tree and feeders lol.
  18. i cant even find his instagram on google!?!?
  19. i wasnt complaining, i was just stating an opinion. Im not questioning his energy or hustle, i was just saying he isnt a possession player.
  20. we want him to join us mate....pls dont put him off.....
  21. Their form over the previous 11 games, before playing us was 6 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, i know we beat them 4-0, but i was very impressed with their football style, they can really keep the ball and had some lovely passages of play, i could see why their form was so good prior to us beating them.
