  1. Konsa has always been shite without Mings, now he's about to get properly found out just like Cash
  2. Bailey is too weak and too slow and hasnt got a good enough touch to nullify it. Every time he gets the ball it's life or death.
  3. Even if I wanted to spend that sort of money I wouldn't cos everyone would be looking at you like a prawn sandwich merchant.
  4. Then loan him to Burnley, I don't care. We shouldn't be selling our top prospects who we have been at the club since the age of 8 probably. It's all very well saying this buy back clause but will be activate it?, Does anyone know the length of it. If he's progressing well but is inconsistent and needs more time do we pay 25mill for him or go for another shiny new thing. Will Burnley get relegated, if so how does his "value" go then, is he stuck in the championship and we can't see him develop at the top level unless we pay 25mill for him? Or is it a Douglas Luiz scenario where ultimately he needs time we miss the window to sign because we are hunting shiny new things and he becomes a top player. If he's not Jude Bellingham within 2 years, there's loads of excuses and rationalisations that will be made not to buy him back.
  5. FFS fans banging on about "pure profit" when we are selling one of our top home grown academy players for 12mill. We shouldn't be selling him at all..loan to prem club will do. I know the club have stepped up a level in all areas but im fuming about this. All this buyback clause stuff is just trying to be clever when you are being stupid. We aren't Man City, we aren't awash with world class players and this isn't some Brazilian we picked up when he was 15 who has no connection to the club. If it was for what he's worth than maybe that could give some solace but 12 mill, we paid more than that for some from the MLS who is the definition of raw and who couldn't dream of ever being on a level to Ramsey technically. God I hope we do have a great season to distract me cos there's loads of little things that annoy me about us "levelling up" on and off the field.
  6. Co commentator wont shut the up, literally talks every 5 seconds.
  7. How much is Gerrard on then? Cos if even if I am the shittest manager on the planet, if I'm Steven Gerrard there's no **** way I'm letting Jordan Henderson be paid more then me, no matter how much of a sound lad he is. At the very least I'd be saying I'm getting you 700k a week, you pass 200k on to me la.
  8. Ffs is got to 45 seconds before I said to myself what am I doing with my life and stopped watching. Desperate.
  9. In the age of data and analytics, when you look at the top 4 players in that list it does seem like clubs are happy to pay obscene amounts based on a speed rating.
  10. Wow. And we used to get excited watching videos of Jores Okore recovery tackles. I hope to god we never turn shit again.
  11. Basically Chris Heck has come in, seen the new badge and said Boooooooorinnng. In fairness the new badge was the safe choice, pretty bland. Obviously better than the previous monstrosity but i imagine we can do better and be a bit more dynamic/forward thinking even if it will rattle plenty of cages.
  12. Global reaction lol. The only thing everyone unanimously agrees on is the old badge is sh*t.
  13. Looks like this years theme is a celebration of Burnley's return to top flight football. How can you f**k up a villa shirt, its not hard.
  14. Good first game to sharpen the minds in pre-season.
  15. We barely conceded a goal in the last 10 games yet i can recall him being at fault for two of them. He did have a great season, having him stepping at left back when we only had Digne and at right back for Cash was massive for us. But now we need a new right back, we already have two left backs. In the cold light of day its the right decision.
  16. We're keeping the Christian Purslow went to Spain song though yeah?
  17. It's only getting coverage because of the VAR policy of having the linesman keeping his flag down. Under the old rules no one would pick it up on it and it'd be villa nullified spurs who were absolutely shite.
  18. It would have obviously been a board decision that Gerrard was gone if we lost to Fulham. The Sawiris losing his head thing was him just wanting it announced there and then rather than in the morning because he couldn't take another hour of him being in charge. He probably sends a text to Wes at the 70 min mark saying "**** tomorrow morning, we are sacking the useless scouse basterd now" and Wes replys "yeah, ok Nas".
  19. Look at Brighton... We weren't beating them anyway if they had something to play for! If Spurs mess up next week then it might all work in our favour as Brighton should be home and hosed for Europa with a win v southampton and might take the foot off the pedal on the last day.
  20. At least Brighton won't have anything to play for when we play em last game
  21. Conf league prize money Qualified to Group Stage: €2,940,000 Match won in Group Stage: €500,000 Match drawn in Group Stage: €166,000 1st in Group Stage: €650,000 2nd in Group Stage: €325,000 Round of 16: €600,000 Quarter-final: €1,000,000 Semi-final: €2,000,000 Runner-up: €3,000,000 Champion: €5,000,000 So winning it, assuming you topped your group with 4 wins, two draws in the group gets you about EUR 15mill add additional gate receipts for 6 home games, say a EUR 1.5 million a game could be worth about about EUR 24 mill? EDIT : it actually pays quite well compared to the Europa league: Europa League prize money A victory in the group pays €630,000 and a draw €210,000. Qualified to group stage: €3,630,000 Match won in group stage: €630,000 Match drawn in group stage: €210,000 1st in group stage: €1,100,000 2nd in group stage: €550,000 Round of 16: €1,200,000 Quarter-final: €1,800,000 Semi-final: €2,800,000 Runner-up: €4,600,000 Champion: €8,600,000 Rough math but I'd say winning the Europa league with a group win 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss in the group ( a lot harder to achieve) would get you maybe about EUR 23 mill so + same gate receipts = 32 mill + obviously champions league next season. When you consider only getting to the semis (which is a hell of an achievement) brings that down to 26.2mill you can see why from the clubs point of view the conf league is attractive.
