  1. 35 isn't that old for a keeper, it's about when they hit their prime usually.
  2. I'd be gobsmacked if we only gave him a two year deal, unless as someone else stated we had the option for a third. Would've been nice to get a few million for him, but also would be happy to see him getting first team football, he deserves it.
  3. About time we tried Bogarde, Chukwuemeka and Aaron Ramsey. Right?
  4. I agree, although might be harsh to chuck Ramsey in on that. Nakamba definitely deserves a run in the team, especially given the opposition we have coming up.
  5. If the FA were aware of his "regular cocaine problems", I'd highly doubt he'd have played so much for England this season.
  6. Turns out hiring a blue nose male might not have been the best idea.
  7. Classic VillaTalk reaction here, with a few comments of common sense chucked in. He's been excellent for ages, he's made one (admittedly big) mistake - it happens. How he played and reacted shows his character. Well in Ty, still a big part to play in our future.
  8. Excellent assist, and general all round play was good when he came on. Genuinely don't think he's the long term option, but whilst Jack is out we could do a lot worse than lining up how we finished today.
  9. He was very good when he came on. His energy and pressing helped change the game. Big up JJ!

    Excellent news. Best defender we've had since Laursen. Anyone got any idea what his wage will be? Deserves to be £80k+.
  11. De Paul and Buendia would be the dream. Even if we signed no one else, I'd rate that as an excellent window.

    Different scenario though. Ours has the potential to be at least 55k, and we’ve been able to modernise each stand whenever we wanted. Everton weren’t able to do that, so their only option was to rebuild.
  13. That was a joy to watch. Best I've seen Chrisene play, Kesler was excellent, but Ramsey was the star man for me tonight. Thought he was first class. Barry was quiet, but did excellently for one of Ramsey's goals, and thought Chukwuemeka was also quiet, but also managed to get an assist. Raikhy is a bit of an unsung hero, some of his pressing was great. The future looks very bright!
  14. Chukwuemeka's actually been a bit quiet for his standard! Best I've seen Chrisene play - he reminds me of Bastoni with the way he plays. Ramsey has had a great game, our front three unable to really impact the game. I like Raikhy as well, he's come from nowhere the last few months it seems. Playing some really good stuff, just need to score!
  15. I wonder how this talk of FFP being scrapped will affect our summer!
  16. Didn’t realise he was a Cambridge boy like me! Apart from Darren Bent, can’t think of anyone else who has played for us from Cambs.
  17. This can only help, yeah. Remember when Grealish came back from his first camp and said how much he learned.
  18. I agree that we should never sell Grealish. I disagree that Mahrez is not exactly what we need, I'd say he's exactly what we need. A world class (or not far off) right inside forward. I really like Bert, but Mahrez on the right would be incredible. It won't happen, of course.
  19. He's been excellent recently, not his day on Friday. Joelinton is actually a decent player, he's just a shocking finisher.
  20. I think all South American international matches for later this month were cancelled.
  21. The several times I’ve seen him for the u23s he’s been a standout. We really should do a lot to try and keep him, whilst also not getting in to a Hudson-Odoi situation at Chelsea. We don’t want to set a precedent where kids are asking for £15k per week plus. He’s a very big talent though, and it would be shite to lose him.
  22. The dream would be for him to get first team football on loan for the rest of the season, do great, and then replace Elmo as our backup right back.
  23. Assuming there is zero chance of highlights?
  24. There’s a chance that the bid AVB is talking about might have been an initial offer from a week or two ago, which was derisory, and rejected etc, and that our most recent offer(s) are close to being accepted. Could be that there’s a lost in translation element to what he said, and that he was referring to a much earlier bid. Who knows. Either way, hope we get this over the line as quick as possible.
  25. You’re the Guy de Maupassant of Villa Park.
