STEVE BRUCE - ATTENDANCE AT COMPUTERS FOR DUMMIES - DAY 1

Ok cool so he will learn the rough and tumble of real football then

right cool, just looked at av. attendance, Stratfords is roughly 175, but, if hes first team??, suppose its decent? honest question, is the standard any better than U23 in terms of development??

The league Stratford in, is below the conference right?

was that Barnsley home or away?

it's fine, hes 6ft 7, add another 2 feet for arms, he literally just needs to lie down with his arms stretched out and we wont concede joke btw before ppl start imploding

Surprised this hasn't been announced if it was completed 4 odd hours ago according to some reports, maybe it isn't done yet???

I hope Davis gets his chance and DS tries to develop him, i really liked the look of him last season, and if he refines his game he could be a good player. I thought his link play was really good, he just needs to really work on his finishing / getting in to scoring positions etc

Still nothing official, wonder if it's finished on the quiet or whether some reporters jumped the gun?

always wondered, why does he wear that cast on his wrist?!?!?!

Haven't seen anything "official" as yet.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/dean-smith-aston-villa-transfers-15579434 Interesting article, especially this for me: all i gotta say is HALLELUJAH!, developing our own players rather than other teams players, anyone would have thought it rocket science?!?!?!

Any news on how close this deal is to being completed?

I really hope this happens now, or this is gonna be one hell of a multi paged wasted thread

also, word of caution on the Kalinic vids......i just re-watched a few vids of Nyland, they make him look like De Gea!!

i thought it was 3m....well....2.7m to be exact?

Substantial purchase is it's 7m, I hope he is as good as I hope he is :), would be terrible if he did a nyland, then it would be 10m wasted on GKs

great if true, but if true why is he coming to Villa and not a Prem team or another top flight team abroad?, not trying to be negative, just realistic.

Totally agreed.

yeah, some good stops, but the flap at 1min 35 is a little....Nylandish?!? Not trying to be negative, i really hope this deal comes off, but lets not delude ourselves if any player may have a flaw or two?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBTGqtW0Sqs 1) flaps a bit at 1 minute in this vid 2) a few good saves and takes though I think we need to be careful with "he is a good shot stopper" :P, we need that as well as someone commanding with crosses, and commands their area well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwwcNfLInH0&t=37s 1) decent shot stopper regardless, the guy is a BIG UNIT (6ft 7in?), just his presence is prob pretty spooky :), from the vids i have looked at he is agile for a big man and a good shot stopper, havent really managed to find anything related to gathering crosses and commanding the area etc.

right ok, good stuff then. really pleased if its true.

I would still be worried by our 5ft 10 centre back monsieur Chester.......

Isn't that a bit naughty that a guy working in our medical dept giving away our possible signings before they are concluded?????
