Ndidi is pretty tragic with the ball at his feet. Might as well just keep Dendoncker. Ndidi was also awful in his last season in the Prem.

Yeah, because he's signed for us.

He’s off to Milan by all accounts. Don’t think we’ll be in the picture.

You obviously didn't read my whole post, did you?

Biggest priority for me in the summer is a tall, dominant, beast of a centre half. We’re far too weak defensively, and concede from set pieces all the time. Konsa is a lovely player, but he’s not as good as Pau Torres on the ball, and I’m not convinced he’s a good enough right back going forward. Some difficult decisions will have to be made if we want to become an elite side, and a defence containing Pau Torres (who is our only defender who should be guaranteed a starting place next season) needs to have a defender like Mings alongside him. If we can find a right footed Mings, that’d be a dream. Ideally Konsa will master the right back position over the next couple of months, and Mings will come back as he was before, but I’m not hopeful of either. And we can’t afford to be sentimental. I’m expecting serious backlash for this. So go ahead.

Non-footballing income should absolutely be excluded from PSR rules. Hotels, concerts, and other sports hosting should not be allowed to be spent on football. By all means allow the parent companies to profit from it, but not the football club.

Limiting supply means they’ll be able to charge more per ticket. So in the long run, they can see us making more money per ticket with a 45,000 capacity rather than a 55,000 capacity. Don’t West Ham and Man City have an issue in that they give away a load of free tickets a game? If there’s such a surplus, the cost of the ticket goes down. I don’t agree with this, by the way, I just think this is the current thinking.

Credit where it’s due, he has negotiated us a mammoth sponsorship deal here. Well done, you c**ksucker.

Looks like John Travolta’s gone off the rails.

Why is everyone so convinced that we’re getting out of the BK8 deal two years early? Unlike with Castore, there’s no breach of contract/performance issue, so why the confidence?

I ordered the away top at the weekend. Haven't ordered a new Villa top since the Nike/Acorns days, but thought that I'd do my bit. I've just opened the package, and... Everton home shorts!

There has been no rumours for this at all, this is merely my suggestion. But I think we could do a lot worse than resign O’Hare on a free this summer as a squad player. He’s been brilliant for Cov, wouldn’t cost much money, and would count as a homegrown player for Europe. Thoughts?

Was expecting to see the accounts filed on Companies House today, but nothing as of yet. Last year they went up on March 3rd, so doubt we’ll have long to wait either way.

Realistically we’re not going to be able to get £15m for Diego Carlos, so that’ll either be a loan out, or he’ll stay as backup. And no way we’re getting anywhere near enough of a fee to consider selling McGinn. Think that ship has sailed, and honestly I’m glad! Let’s keep him as long as he wants. Would be great if he could do 10 years here and get a testimonial. With regards to Hermoso, I saw him live earlier in the week at San Siro, and he was probably the worst player on the pitch. But he was playing against one of the best teams in the world, so I won’t judge him purely on that.

On that link there is a video of the whole season review, and about 28 minutes in you can see the goal. Doesn’t look like he sticks anything up to the crowd at all, and further commentary on that post corroborates it.
