    100% agree!

    Torres is looking perfect on the attack. Couldn't ask for more. Defending - needs a bit more work.

    Ref MotM with that penalty decision.

    We bet a decent amount before the flop on Coutinho. We get to fold our had after a nasty looking flop for us, but we live to fight on. That's gambling - which is a massive part of signing a new player. Sometimes you just have bad luck...

    Pau shouldn't have been playing big minutes yet - unfortunately he's right in the thick of things.

    I'm sure the (exceptionally savvy) team took the best deal on the table and decided that was better than keeping him. Seems like decent business to me.

    This… Stupidity and overreaction to the loss on here today is something else. We don’t need to change everything because of Liverpool or Newcastle games. Unai has it.

    Of all the business we’ve done I have to concur with the Guardian of how much the sale with buybacks illustrate where we are as a club now. Our academy is so strong that we’re able to sell players for significant fees that slot immediately into decent Championship clubs or crappy Premiership clubs. AND that our squad is so strong that these players have no chance of getting decent game time without leaving. But we also are smart enough to not just dump them, we have the option to buy them back. We’re absolutely in the top 4 teams in the league in terms of how we manage our business.

    I think if he could have stayed fit we’d be singing songs about the lad for a long time. But sadly that was a big if. Take the get out of jail card and move on.

    Excellent window. Not worried about the forward line - we have depth and we’re scoring goals for fun.

    Can’t believe Zaniolo hasn’t been brought on. Emery out.
  12. ChicagoVillan1983
    Did Zaniolo assist?

    Pretty simple. They buy every midfielder in the the league and then teams have to play a 5-0-5 formation against them and they clean up…

    Love how fickle we are on Digne and Bailey!
  15. ChicagoVillan1983
    If he doesn’t then we don’t want him.

    Diaby to Chelsea for 150m at the end of the season.

    And they don’t have to. I think most people miss that. Youth is for: - Buying a bunch of lottery tickets and giving them the best chance possible of becoming a star by having state of the art facilities and training - If the lotto ticket doesn’t hit, sell them on to clubs below us to help with FFP Selling a Ramsey, say, for 14m is not a failure at all. Same with Chuk for 20m.

    For me he gets the benefit of the doubt as a brand new signing for the new season.
  19. ChicagoVillan1983
    Caceido is young though - big premium, W-P wrong side of 25.

    With a white pen m8. Innit

    Probably just making it clear that we have a hard limit on Diaby and aren’t playing silly games on price and will walk away.
  22. ChicagoVillan1983
    Too much success from Emery. Emery out. People arguing that world class player A is marginally worse than world class player B. Remember the good old days when we actually had something real and worrying to debate about.

    He’s taking her on the lash around the mail box, and will stuff her with a chip butty at the end of the night.
  24. ChicagoVillan1983
    You’re not buying the footballer he is now, you’re buying the option that he will turn into an excellent world class footballer in the future. The idea is that you find enough of these opportunities that you get lucky on one of them. Just because we paid 18 million and he for some reason turned out to be a total dud then it doesn’t mean it was a bad call. Maybe you only get back 9 million for him. You have to judge transfers like this at a total program level over a substantial period of time. It’s like picking stocks - not every single one is going to hit and make money. But if you know what you are a doing and buy enough of them at the right prices (and don’t put all your eggs in one basket) then you’ll come out good in the long run… It’s just math.

    Come to Villa, wait a season, simples
