    Would we then have bought Mitrovic instead of Watkins?

    I was thinking about our relegation squad earlier, and I found myself wondering whatever happened to Carles Gil? As far as I can tell, he's currently captain of New England Revolution in MLS. He was so highly rated by them that he was bought in as a designated player, which basically means MLS teams are permitted to break their salary cap in order to bring them in. He also won best newcomer in his debut season, along with "man of the year", which I assume is the same as player of the season. I'm happy for him. I've always liked him. He never had a chance of succeeding in that Villa team.

    Joint 11th top scorers? Incredible. Just end the league right now.

    Nobody's ever explicitly denied it, which you'd think they would've of there wasn't one. One thing I'm not clear on is whether the clause was agreed with City or Luiz. Exactly how much of a say does he have in it?
  5. Greenfly
    If he makes it into the first team, he will be affectionately known as Phil. I'm calling it now.

    I saw a video where a second tier professional Turkish side took on a 22 man Sunday league team and slapped them comfortably. I imagine it would go a little like that.
  7. Greenfly
    I took it to mean that he's not clued up on the finer details of the clause, i.e. how City can trigger it or whether Luiz himself would have any say in the matter.

    Loyalty seems to be so rare in the game these days, so respect to him. He could've easily turned his back on them for money, but he didn't.

    Every time I think another set of fans had a reason to talk about us, I like to see what they have to say. For most clubs it's only when we've got a match against them, but for the other west midland sides it seems to be near constant, especially SHA. I browse their forums semi-regularly just because there's usually some form of Villa related discussion going on, and it's often fascinating. To anyone from SHA reading this, hi! I know you do it too!

    It was a friendly. I'm pretty sure they have no effect on seedings.

    This is why I don't like to label forward players as strikers. It puts so much emphasis on scoring goals, whereas in a functional team you need them to do so much more. Look at Watkins. He scored goals, sure, but that's not all he does. A game in which he doesn't score is not necessarily a bad game for him if he can cause trouble and help create chances for other players. Wesley is much the same; even when he wasn't scoring, he was contributing. With time he would get better, with better players around him it would get easier, and if not for his injury he'd probably be there by now.

    They knew they had the squad to bounce back, and it was simply a case of someone finding out the weakness in their system. They knew they had it in them to recover. It was different for us. We didn't have that luxury at all. It really felt like it was something that was going to happen a lot.
  13. Greenfly
    Probably. It's the biggest win in their history. In fairness, their women's team has always been better than ours. That's on us for never really investing in it until recently.

    He's been one of my favourite players for ages now. He's far from perfect but he always pops up and delivers when it matters most. His attitude is an example of what every player should act like and he was integral in the turnaround of this club's fortunes. I'm sad for him, but who do you drop at the moment? It's really difficult.
  15. Greenfly
    I think the most important factor is that we have absolutely no reason or need to sell him. Provided we continue to look competitive, he'll have no reason to want to leave either. I don't care what nonsense value other clubs put on him; to us he is priceless, and that is all that matters.
  16. Greenfly
    It actually amazes me that they were Premier League so recently.

    I've always wondered, how does someone become a Baggies fan? Even if you live right next to the ground, how do you end up looking at them and thinking, "yes, I can definitely get on board with that"?

    Just read that this game was the first time ever Aubameyang has played a full 90 minutes without even registering a shot.
  19. Greenfly
    I'm glad for him, he's a quality player. He's got a great future ahead of him. Anyway, what's to be bitter about? He's not their player anymore. It doesn't matter at all who he's a fan of.
  20. Greenfly
    Would be nice if they'd go join their good friend Sheffield.
  21. Greenfly
    His crime is being a Villa fan. That's literally it.
  22. Greenfly
    Ok now, let's not get carried away here.
  23. Greenfly
    There's always lessons to be learned, even for the best managers going. It's no major criticism.
  24. Greenfly
    We'll at least get to see if he's learned any lessons from the last two games.
  25. Greenfly
    How many of those kids do you think will grow up thinking that was actually Trump? And if they were to see footage of the actual Trump, would they even realise that wasn't him?
