  1. I think we have to remember we arent playing with a proper dm. I therefore think caution is the better part of valor with our back 4. Our front 6 can really play. Looking forward to it.
  2. Keeping continuity and slowly introducing and easing new players in (rather than throwing a load of new faces together). No, I wouldnt have picked it but fair play, still confident that our style amd energy is going to surprise them today.
  3. Could be worse lads, Everton have just put 40 million down on Alex Iwobi.
  4. The Mcginn contract announcement was done this morning so as not be overshadowed by the mega signings we are making this afternoon. BELIEVE
  5. From the dean smith thread On 01/08/2019 at 22:05, fightoffyour said:
  6. Villareport just tweets every bit of villa news or reports on the internet (provides the source in each tweet and doesn't purport to be ITK). I don't get the hate for it, its great not having to deal with click bait bullshit and have everything summarised in one place. It's actually pretty impressive how they keep up with everything tbh.
  7. A Belgium football fan's view on him when Liverpool were linked to him:
  8. Don't want to be harsh but if he's loaned to a Championship side I doubt he would get 30-40 games.
  9. I don't think there is anything strange about it. He was one of the last players back in training. More than a week after the other lads. Last week, no one was playing more than 45 mins.
  10. I think we are one of the few ' big' clubs in history where the owners are more ambitious than the fans.
  11. I honestly don't think thats an indicator though. Ward prowse was/still is shit according to most of their fans and was often a bench player but he was being touted for england this season. My mate is a southampton fan and they have been absolute dirge for the past few years. I know from our final few years in the Prem how easy it is for the more technical players/less physical players to get cast aside and labelled as shite but then thrive when they move to a club with players that can give a f**k and actually pass a football.
  12. Noy surprised Soton didnt see the best of him. Hes a player whos strength is his passing and crossing abiltity. He'll thrive in a more creative team like he did at Fulham where they played football and had a proper target man to make the most of his crossing ability. You couldnt find a more useless strikeforce than Southampton's for much of last season. He'd be in the final 3rd look up and have nothing to aim at. Take away any players strengths and they will look average.
  13. Grealish was shit according to many not too many moons ago.
  14. Good to stick a bid in anyway. Player and agent could be knocking on the chairman's door asking for reasonable fee to be accepted
  15. Over the past few years west brom have had more england youth internationals than most Prem clubs without scouting outside of the Midlands apparently. Dan Ashworth, who moved to the FA was the brainchild of the overhaul to their setup a decade ago but perhaps villa have seen Harrison's involvement (who would have implemented Ashworth's plans on the ground) and been impressed. It may be a case of wanting to steal what Ashworth did amd seeing harrison as the perfect man to implement it here. There's a bbc article covering their sucesss with some comments from harrison. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47766043
  16. Would love Phillips here. But tbh, as he is only 23, and a leeds fan (I assume) he should stay there for one more season imo, and leave if they dont go up. I'd be very confident they'd get promoted next year so that would seem like the wisest move to me. I think the player would see it that way too so can't see it happening. Still, us being linked with him will wind up the bitter Leeds fan who always comes on here, which is good.
  17. Iran into Dean Smith yesterday and asked him if we'd get anyone in this week. He told me to f**k off.
  18. Kenya just be patient? Edit: was too slow ^
  19. God he was useless. He did go on to have a decent Korea after Villa tbf.
  20. Agreed. Window has just opened. Too many people Russian to conclusions.
  21. LOL what a fookin deal. Gardner is worth 500k tops. Bluenose next to me has literally lost the **** plot.
  22. All this levels stuff reminds me of when we were appointing Dean Smith. From what i have seen of him, his dribbling and his shooting is top tier, even by prem standard, add to he is an intelligent footballer gets assists and is a mad villa fan. What's not to like? He would suit our style of play perfectly imo.
  23. Love this guy. Yet again a massive assist from right back. 8 assists and 2 goals in the season. Never stops running, you hardly ever see him get done by his man one on one and an absolute fighter. A huge part of our success this season. Nice one Elmo!
  24. Big time player. Won't forget his role in the play-off semi last year, or in the Rotherham 2nd half and Bristol game which was a pivotal time during our winning streak imo. Absolute luxury to be able to bring him on for a pen last night.
