    This won’t affect our FFP too much. Will be about £2.7m per year for his fee, and I imagine his wage will be low, perhaps £20k, so we’re looking at about £4m max FFP per year. I’m happy with this signing, it’s the exact sort of thing I want us to do. He might end up being poor, but it’s a calculated risk.
  2. Dembele would be a really good signing, especially with his contract expiring this summer. If we could end up with him and £10-15m for the sale of Ings, that would represent a really good window in that department.
  3. Just realised that I’ve seen him play live, when Rayo Vallecano beat Levante 2-1 in May 2017 in the second tier. For that reason, I’m certain he’s going to be a star.
  4. Yeah this was my thinking too, it benefits the club. I was just thinking that due to the waiting list they might implement a policy of having to attend a certain percentage of matches to retain the right for your season ticket. We live 100 miles away, so no dice!
  5. Does anyone know if there’s a limit on how many times you can sell your tickets on your season ticket? My wife is 7 months pregnant, and has been advised to stop coming, which is fair enough! She’s sold the last two, and is planning on selling more, but doesn’t want the club to get annoyed and potentially give her season ticket away to someone on the waiting list.
  6. We could do with someone going on to a Betis forum and asking about him. Any volunteers?
  7. My gut feeling is that Alex Moreno would be used mostly as a left midfielder. I seem to recall Albert Moreno played there a lot for him last season, so he's probably trying to replicate that here. That's my guess, anyway.
  8. Dumfries won’t join the Villa, so that’s a no go. I also wouldn’t spend anywhere near that money on him, either.
  9. Deulofeu wasn’t in the Udinese squad tonight, and doesn’t appear to be injured or suspended.
  10. Poor appointment, this guy is so defensive. Hope he gets them up, but can see them hating him.
  11. I struggle with Roman Numerals until I get to 159.Then it just CLIX.
  12. Ings is halfway through his contract, so an offer of £12.5m would see us break even on FFP, and I can see some clubs offering that. As for his contract, clubs might not offer the same he’s on right now, but they might be able to offer him more over a longer period of time in his contract. He’s also a good pro, so might value playing time at this stage of his career over wages.
  13. I like the Deulofeu link, would be a smart signing, and you’d imagine it would be a relatively decent price. Still not pro Sarr though. The only way I could see it being a decent signing is if Davis goes in the other direction permanently, and we pay about £10m on top.
  14. If you thought Smith was dull, you’ll be out of your mind if you get Wagner. Steer well clear!
  15. We need to take the tinted glasses off and admit he’s been really poor for them. I live local, and know a lot of Norwich fans, and they talk about him like we did Gerrard. He’s turned them in to a defensive outfit, on the back foot, and hoping for moments of magic to score. We all love the guy for what he did with us, but since Grealish got injured, it’s been a huge downward curve for him. He won’t manage in the Premier League again, unfortunately. He’s pissed off the fans, and we all know that’s the beginning of the end. His stock is still high enough to get a job with the likes of Bristol City, Millwall or QPR, but I think he’s had his time in the sun.
  16. I saw his show as work in progress a fair while ago. It’s great, but the man could read a phone book and it would be hilarious. Saw Isy Suttie’s work in progress the same evening, which unfortunately was really poor.
  17. Yeah I was doing it online. Do you mind being a hero and doing a step by step guide? EDIT: Got it sorted. Thanks lads!
  18. Trying to sell my season ticket for the Liverpool game, and for the life of me can’t work it out.
  19. As an Inter fan, this is wonderful. Am looking forward to seeing the details that come from it.
  20. I went in to this thinking I’d vote whichever option wasn’t round, with my preference being no shield at all. However, I really don’t get on with the lamp one. The font doesn’t work for me, and just looks computer gamey. For balance, I don’t think the round one is anywhere near as good as what they could’ve done, either. The thing I liked most about our badge over the last 30 years is the lion being yellow. Looks so much better. Tl:dr Voted round.
  21. It’s weird, he definitely feels like a huge disappointment, however his G+A per 90 was 0.62 last season, and 0.5 this season. We’d have all taken those before he joined. Hopefully Emery will kickstart his Villa career. I’m sure he’ll actually look to play to his strengths, unlike the last guy.
  22. I heard that they need to submit the new crest by the end of October to ensure that it's ready for next season. So I'd expect to see the crest options today or tomorrow.
  23. As we can assume Poch and Tuchel are (understandably) not viable options, the two options that interest me are Emery and Amorim. I would go for Emery for three reasons: He's much cheaper - I've heard that there'd be no fee due to a clause in his contract He's less of a gamble - he's far more experienced generally, and even has Premier League experience He uses a similar formation to what we use - 4 at the back, and 3 in midfield I think Amorim's an incredibly interesting and exciting proposition, and if we made this decision two months ago, I'd have probably preferred him, and I'd also be very content if he does become our man. We mustn't appoint Dyche or Benitez, they can get tae ****.
