I obviously don’t, but you obviously do. That information was perhaps the most original material ever written, so original in fact it never happened

That’s sweet. I also didn’t realise how closely you followed my posts, that’s flattering, really. It’s better to be uninteresting and grounded in facts than saying players are signed sealed and delivered when they’re not, isn’t it?

Weren’t you the guy who said Rashica was signed sealed and delivered

Lingard and Harrison player different positions, but sure.

What a crock of s***. Same game time he has the same number of tackles and a lower % of successful pressures but basically the same overall because he attempts so many as Tielemans.

Josh King seen looking at houses in Birmingham:

Wait so if we sign King, Watkins goes down, and Wesley isn’t up to it, then we’ll have 3 strikers who can’t score instead of two!!

He played RB or RM... Que?

We don’t but the coaching and medical staff should have some idea. That will most likely dictate what we sign in terms of a striking option. Should also ease your optimist/pessimist internal mental turmoil

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy. Pereira and Traore had the same amount of goals and assists in the PL if you take out Pereira’s 4 penalties. Pereira also had an extra 250 minutes game time. Did you even watch any West Bron games? Pereira does not offer anything more than what Traore does defensively and he also has a tendency to go missing for long periods.

You severely underrate Traore - what he’s been able to do in his first season in a mid-table side has been very good. Even if you look past ASM’s relative lack of score involvements, he is unable to hold up play and is dispossessed far too often. If people’s main criticism of Traore is his defensive commitment, ASM is more or less the same. He’s also only mustered 3450 odd minutes in 2 seasons in the Premier League. Why would we sign someone who’s only shown they can play about half the season and is not an improvement on what we already have?

Left footer - Smith plays inverted wingers. Hes on the left at Burnley because they’re modus operandi is get balls in the box

Mmmmmm yes, just as I suspected... This is quite serious

What a good defensive boy

Can someone explain using only gifs how and why the fish references started

Underrated post - everyone give Dave some more love

There’s a certain Ben Godfrey who doesn’t seem to cop a mention considering he almost passed the ball straight past Pickford into the back of the net and he dicked around with the ball against Villa and got sharked by Ollie. Stones is decent but is always one touch away from a brain fart himself. And the amount of times I see Maguire **** up and be saved by a teammate, the opponent not being quite clinical enough, or the referee is off the the ******* charts. Konsa will get there but Mings is still the better overall player for now. When Konsa’s form dropped in the final 3rd of the season Mings was superbly consistent. If people are going to criticise for a penalty kick that COULD have been paid - we may have to re-think this whole Buendia thing as he’s good for 1-2 red cards per season.

For real? What would you call playing for England if not a good case?

I would hope so - so many players seem to ignore this element though and end up being a Batshuayi, Tuanzebe, Van De Beek, Minamino, Origi, Telles, or an Ake. Like where was Van De Beek, Minamino, Telles and Ake in particular expecting to fit into the respective lineups?

Mutual understanding of Villa games only being played between the hours of 12am and 7am

My only beef with that setup is a I desperately want Kamada as well and don’t know where he’d fit... would be gorgeous to watch next year though.

I think the frustrating thing is a lot of the people on here who want Buendia also want to get rid of Traore. Traore played 2338 minutes this season - if you applied the same metric he’d have a 10G and 10A season - which is incredible. Also think Buendia plays CAM, personally.

Lol yeah, sorry I changed it - 100% agree

Understood, my point is more what is a key pass? Buendia had 2.3 pg for 7 assists - Kamada has 1.8 pg for 15 assists. There’s a few ways you could look at it - Buendia’s teammates severely let him down, or, the passes didn’t give his teammates the best chance to score. I don’t know which it is - more these 2nd degree statistics are open to interpretation. Also, regarding only playing 2/3’s of the season, if you extrapolate out its 1.5G and 10.2A, which is very good.
