  1. If this was even remotely true. There would be all the hype for Conner Gallagher and the punch line would be Loftus Cheek
  2. You think… but because clubs are saving on the transfer fee, the player can ask for more money
  3. They can more than recoup that 10% in the sign on bonus.
  4. Update on the Not ITK about Eriksen what a bitch
  5. here’s some ITK nonsense for you I have a friend who works at Nike (account manager for athlete sponsorships) she’s just told me that Eriksen is prepping to move on from Brentford. Giving me the the ol eyeball emoji She told me last year Jack was staying at Villa, so she’s not fully in the know.. just passing on office goss.
  6. Everyone rests on that he called these. I believe he only got the Ings one right because the odds randomly dropped loads the day before he signed. I remember someone mentioned it on here, before he signed. but the last few weeks he’s been well wide of the mark and he’s getting more and more vague with what he’s saying, even trying to link to rumours to he’s stuff, despite how loose it is
  7. This all sounds like a massive backtrack. It’s frustrating to see people fall for ITK nonsense
  8. No doubt he shouldn’t get a free pass. We fans need to be a little less singular and more broader when we are criticising a bad performance. Be it squad, player or manager
  9. This is making me happy that Grimes escaped the clutches of Elon Musk
  10. Sorry, it’s only available on Betamax.
  11. It’s because we were overall disappointing last season.. someone needs to be scapegoated. McGinn being a key player, is always in the scopes, so is Mings and our strikers. Wrongly and correctly it’s the nature of Football. Rather than being a multitude of elements causing bad performances, it’s one thing. A player, a manager, a tactic, a mistake. When usually its all/sum of them simultaneously.
  12. Both have been incessant since Stevie G came in… isn’t it clear by now, the club isn’t interested, neither are the fans… that bait shouldn’t be working anymore
  13. Why do they keep dragging out the Joe Gomez link. we are
  14. Spurs basically are in the position they’re in because they spent well and developed good young players. poch era brought through Kane, Alli, Dyer, Son, Ericsson.. all bought cheap and young. Granted they have money and ways to retain their good players… but they built their current success on a shoestring. Well until they sacked Pochettino As of keeping players.. yes it’s hard… but that’s part of the bigger game. If “the project” is good enough they will stay. but going all in or bust is a strategy that’s only failed clubs in our situation
  15. I’m not against loaning some out, if it means they can develop more… but some will do just as well staying and having a go for some of the positions. For example, I think Archer wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep about, if we were to sell an Ings or a Watkins
  16. I’ve never understood this phrase… why do we have to be in a hurry to get in to Europe? almost all the European spots are gatekept by the “big 6” so the only way is to play a long game to get in… not just going all or bust in one summer… we need to get great players before they’re great. Develop them all to come in their peak at around the same time. Luckily we have some signs we are doing this. in a few years time the Villa squad could be led by players like Carney, Archer, boubs, KKH, Tim, the Ramsey bros and maybe even Doug. They are all fairly close in age and could all peak at about the same time.. if they can reach their full potential we going to have a cracking squad without spending an awful lot. Maybe even European level good. fingers crossed
  17. Until he is good enough, we got Watkins and Ings. We’ll be fine
