  1. This guy turned 18 last month, so he’ll be a homegrown player if he spends the next three seasons at the club.
  2. I agree. I’d rather keep the round badge, too. My point was more about people’s comments about how this badge will change our standing in the global game. My point is that it won’t, even though it’s an eyesore.
  3. I’m not a fan of the crest, for the many reasons that everyone has stated in here. However, I don’t think any other fan of any other club will give it a seconds thought. I don’t view West Ham any differently for their monstrosity of a crest, and I doubt many others do either. Unless you really bring yourself to think about it. I would love a great Villa crest, but only for us fans, not what others think. And the vast majority of other fans will be indifferent to it. I understand that branding is important, but I think we’re overplaying the severity of this.
  4. Thanks. Shame it’ll be dwarfed by the others, but if Newcastle didn’t get their deal I’d have thought this was a great deal, so can’t complain too much.
  5. Do those in the know have any rough idea of how much we’ll make per year? @omariqy @Stevo985 Don't have to give exact values, if you’re not allowed, just how excited we should get!
  6. Bet your house on him scoring this weekend!
  7. I went for Watkins, but could easily have gone for Doug, Martinez, Pau, Konsa, McGinn or Bailey. What a season!
  8. Would be a good deal for all parties. Except Argyle. Picked a random tweet with the rumour, but there are many similar.
  9. Dumfries can’t do that either. Trust me, I’ve watched practically all of his matches for Inter, he is not the answer.
  10. Anyone who thinks Dumfries would be a good signing clearly hasn’t watched him very much. He’d barely be an upgrade on Cash. Rumours that Southampton and Middlesbrough are trying to take Azaz on loan for the remainder of the season.
  11. To be honest, if we can somehow find 3,000 seats (no idea how!) and also manage to massively improve the facilities in the Holte and Witton Lane, then it does take the sting off a bit. I would love for the North Stand project to be done, but it is bloody expensive. A quick win of 3,000 more seats will also give us an additional push and revenue next season. However, it doesn’t detract from the fact that the North Stand does need demolishing and redoing. If they wanted to revise the plans to make it less lavish, but still with ensuring we go above 50,000, and drastically reduce the cost, then I’m not entirely against that.
  12. Seems like Sanson is having a really good season. Absolutely chuffed for him. Didn’t work out here, but he’s clearly talented, and I hope he gets his move permanent there. They’re second in the league and he’s played a big part in it. He’s also sexy. My guy.

    He's played 120 minutes in the league this season, and is one yellow away from a suspension. Absolute lunatic. Love him.

    I’ve always wondered this, but daren’t ask. If Villa don’t technically own the stadium, how is it included in our turnover? Do we submit the ‘group’ financial statements, including NSWE Ltd and Aston Villa? Or what? And if we submit the group statements, how did it mean we were able to book the sale of Villa Park to help with FFP all those years ago, and still benefit from all the income? Hope I’ve made sense with all those questions.

    No stadium improvements/costs of any kind impact FFP.

    Great news, where have you seen this? Thanks.
  17. Is Hemmings a big signing? Few I don’t recognise from that team. Is it free tonight on VillaTV?
  18. Where have you heard this from? I’m very happy to believe you, just want to know how much I should believe you.
  19. Do you know something, or speculating?
  20. I love this man. This is a great insight and I’m glad he’s on the mend.
  21. I was surprised he got a loan to a league that high up to be honest, he never shone in the under 21s, in my opinion.
  22. Bit of shite scheduling to have the game at the same time as the men’s game. EDIT: Seems it no longer does clash for us (could’ve sworn it was originally 2pm!) but does now clash for Everton. So original point still stands. Kind of.
  23. Can’t wait for his contract to be over. His first season was fun, and he showed some true quality, but he’s costing us £9m a year in FFP costs. He never seems to be available to play for us, and that’s probably one of the reasons we didn’t get a suitable offer for him in the summer. No room for sentiment.
  24. By all accounts Monchi likes to shop in France and Brazil, so hoping we can bring in some players I’d never heard of, but proclaim to be an expert of after looking at WhoScored and FBref.
  25. Similar in style and ability to Dendoncker. He’s nowhere near the level we should be aiming for, and doubt there’s anything in the rumour.
