Frodo

Never slagged him off & always thought we have a player here & he would come good this season especially after signing his pal Diaby, but if this is true & the club have sanctioned some rest time in warm weather to help him recover & he has been caught on a Jet Ski & chased by authorities not sure this will go down well at Villa HQ it maybe time to let Monchi work his magic & get some sort of fee for him & cut our losses & Philogene a crack in his place.

Be interesting tomorrow evening if he plays against Man city

Is he injured or is he good to go ?

It's your time big man

My view on the game for what its worth .... Fast start by Newcastle, & deservedly took the lead, thought we reacted well & equalised, it was fine margins 1st half 3 big chance for both teams Newcastle took 2 of them we took just the 1. Massive blow 1st half regards Mings hoping & preying it's not season ending big blow if it is. Onto 2nd half & we'll it was poor defensively but I put that to Mings off injured & Konsa been moved into a back 3 with Carlos & Torres who I don't think have played many minutes together as yet. Not a turning point but if Cash converts that chance at 3-1 to make it 3-2 it may have got Newcastle nervous but hey ho, having a day to think about it this result could do us more good in the long term, still have time in window to add to sqaud & he will tweak ways of playing due to the personal we have available, don't forget also we had Moreno, Ramsey, Beundia & an hour without Mings yesterday, take 4 big players out of any team in the Premiership that would disrupt any team. Think we need a couple of new additions in the forward line & maybe now another centre half, Cash needs competition, not saying get shot of him but he was not at the races yesterday for what ever reason. & as for Bailey I've stuck by him & hoped he would come good but think Philogene has to start ahead of him now.

The perfect replacement for Mings as in size & aggression, sure will find out now how well his injury has healed, gutted for Mings colossal player for us & hope it's not a season ending injury let alone a career ending one

Going to watch tomorrow at the moment I'm just baffled listening to the noses on if carslberg did football days haven't heard from them in god knows when, embarrassing bunch ain't they

Ahhh shit

Time to watch Gaurdians of Galaxy volume 3 see you all next weekend if this site was a barn or house it would be on fire right now everybody needs to carm down.

Thank you Leon

what tier ITK

Not sure maybe would of at the start of window brought in another alongside Torres if Carlos was still struggling but think Emery has been impressed with Chambers by all accounts so maybe we let Carlos go recoup some money & go with what we have. Shame as really rate Carlos beast of a centre half.

Pretty sure it's Inter Milan

Get well soon Emi will miss you

I would go Mcginn in the front 3 away at Newcastle & bring Tielemans into the midfield 3 .... Beundia would be on the bench for me in this game & it's not that I don't rate him just think we look stronger with the other line up & Newcastle is up there with the toughest awY days in the Prem.

Or is it that Beundia has had a ACL injury & were getting this lad in as cover for that injury just a thought still think Beundia injury is bullshit but hey ho what will be will be.

Depending on when the pictures were taken on the official site regards training (Beundia in those pics) & then if he has had an injury the time it takes to determine wether he has a ACL Injury. Didn't Walsh for England at the wemons World Cup was determined not to be a ACL & that took a fair few days & Diego Carlos last season that was well over a week if I remember right to determine the injury. May have picked up an injury but I'm calling bullshit that it's season ending one

Under no circumstances do we sell Dougie the guy is one of the best all round midfielders in Europe & is integral to our midfield, he is a joy to watch on the ball & think he will be even better this season & hasn't hit his peak yet. Wouldn't swap him for anybody, I'm struggling to find a better midfield 3 of Dougie, Kamara & Tielemans in Europe, didn't he sign a new contract last year ? Unless people are offering £100 million + he ain't going anywhere (Arsenal set the bar getting Rice for £105 million) & I wouldn't swap him for Rice either. & come on lads Spurs ? As if he'd swap us for that basket case of a club

Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Digne Dougie Kamara Tielemans Mcginn Diaby Watkins Think we will get something here really think Emery has Eddie Howes number, don't think he knows how to stop playing through them.

Pretty sure we will be very smart regards this, £12 million fee means a low buy back fee, say £20 million in a 2 to 3 year period, so in essence we're paying Burnley to develop one of our youngsters for around £8 million, if he doesnt shine then we have made £12 million from one of our youngsters, not every youngsters is going to make into our 1st team & if they don't we make money out of it. think it makes sense as at the moment our midfield is stacked

Well no messages last night on his podcast & they did 1 before the game & 1 after so who knows maybe something that's still happening but taking longer than they thought, seems legit as Neil said he is very, very right, very, very often so

Just about to say the same, seen it had bumped & was on HOT but no real links unless I've missed something do like the idea of this player tho

Indeed

Think it's more we've cooled our interest & moved onto another target, so Man city believe they can now move for Doku
