Exactly, he said 'eye' for goal, meaning 1 goal, single! He didn't say 'eyes' for goal...

Yep and Konsa too. Think both will bag a couple of goals this season. Hause looks a threat too when on.

I get what you are saying, I really do, I think as has been pointed out though, this feels bigger than one crucial player leaving, it feels like a pivotal moment in the clubs history. Keep him and it sends a huge message to the league that we truly are back and mean business and we are building something special. If he goes, I think we all fear the unknown...who is next to go? What stops Watkins, Martinez, Konsa etc (all with fewer genuine ties to the club) from leaving next season or the one after? Do we fall into a cycle of recruting well and sell for higher prices and repeat? It massively tests our recruitment strategy for sure and if the club have a great deal of faith in our youngsters filling key gaps then great, amazing, but that will still take time and losing Jack feels like it will leave a cloud, a gloom that will likely be hard to shift for some time. I hope this is not the reality and maybe plans are already afoot to replace him. Maybe he stays? We all hope so. Time will tell. I feel flat at the thought of losing him for sure but our club will remain and always will. UTV

Love it mate, hope it comes in for you. UTV

I would hope they would be in his ear about staying too.

New Lions Club in Switzerland (based in Basel) Feel free to reach out and connect, all members welcome! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063557323584 PM me and I can also add you to our whattsapp group. If Basel based we also have a 5 aside group open to all. Looking to do some socials in and around Switzerland this year as things open up more. Members across four continents and across Basel and Bern so far. Cheers and UTV!

Well we all hope it means Jack is staying and could it also hint at who replaces Terry as one of our defensive minded coaches...a double whammy!

Totally agree, would not accept double that for him! He is priceless to us. And if he had been played more at the Euro's I firmly believe he'd have been player of the tournament. Praying he stays. I do get the point that the money for him, 120M 150M etc could be used wisely in other ways but he is our star man, our captain, Villa through and through, he would be so difficult to replace like for like even if we had the money and offered the wages as the act of selling Grealish would weaken our hand regarding 'selling' our mission and ambition. I hope the club tell Man City where to go with their cash.

Yep

For me, Bruce is synonymous with 'there or thereaboots' and 'we pull wor socks up'

Well done mate, great idea

I'm.astounded we have only managed 2 pages so far!

Since Burnley play the 2 big men up top (and I think we are in need of a change/of something different) I'd go 3-5-2; Heaton Engels Mings Hause Guilbert Luiz Jack Nakamba Taylor Wesley Kodjia (We need a win but I'd take a point) Oh and Happy New Year!!

Haha sorry it certainly was!

I have made him Captain in my dream team!

Haha...same 3 I picked and yes I wanted a couple more too!...

I assume we are likely to see something close to our starting 11 v Spurs for this one...are we thinking; Steer Guilbert Engels Mings Targett Douglas Grealish SJM Trezeguet* Wesley El Ghazi* *or will Jota start one side in place of either Trezeguet/El Ghazi- he has looked very impressive so far..wonder if Dean Smith is thinking of starting him..he links up so well with others, especially Grealish, I could see him getting the nod...

Glad he scored...useless streaming...how frustrating is this?!

Has the feed stopped working?..

Anyone know if this is going to be streamed anywhere?...

Had a few afternoon bevs..song idea for Wesley...to the tune of Good Thing by the FYC Wesley-You Found a Home Wesley- Can't do no wrong Wesley's-Gonna score a goal A.V.F.C..It's your new Home I'll get me coat...

Yeah like it, was hoping for something similar but wanted to see RHM in the same team as Grealish and Jota for a half...looking forward to this!!

Got it, yeah figured as much, look forward to seeing him play.

1st half combo, would not mind seeing this; Steer Elmo Engels Mings Targett Hourihane, Super Jack, Lansbury Jota Wesley RHM Anyone know if Trezeguet eligible/ready to play later?
