    Home leg stays at the same time according to this. https://myoldmansaid.com/time-change-for-aston-villas-trip-to-hibernian-confirmed/

    Is that our home or away leg?

    Welcome to the ECL! Turn up everyday at 7.45 and one day you’ll catch a match.

    Thought that was a Demi special for a minute but it’s actually a perfect sentence. Carry on.
  5. villaglint
    Other than the last 20min when the whole team fell apart I thought he was one of our better players. Will leave conversation now and read no replies.

    Might not be a bad shout, kinda makes sense. Said elsewhere that Boehly is forcing a reckoning either for the league or Chelsea. Looking more likely the league will break before Chelsea at this point.

    Kind of worrying how many of our players seem to be on planes. Presumably he’ll be playing LB against Everton?

    Can’t see either Luton or Shef Utd being able to pay what he’s worth. Tricky deal to get done I think.

    Turning into a horrow show summer for Palace. Terrific end to last year and they go and lose Zaha and Olise for £35m. Going to need some very shrewd moves and some excellent management from Roy or they could easily find themselves in trouble.

    Mmmm wasnt exactly a big name when we signed him. Nobody had ever heard of him and even the fans from his own club in Belgium were saying he was too raw and not ready for PL. They were very wrong happily.

    Chelsea

    Given some of the crazy transfers fees they have been paying that is a hell of a bargain. Amazed there wasnt more competition but maybe he's made it clear that is the only place he wants to go. Chelsea apparently content that everything they are doing is within FFP. Be very interesting to see how that all works out because every other club will be on them like a hawk. Very unclear to me how this can be possible within the rules.

    He strikes the ball like a young Gary Gardner.

    Literally every season people go into the last week thinking the REALLY big signing is still to happen. And it basically never does. Who was the last big name player we picked up in the last week of a window?
  14. villaglint
    I’m still working through all the missed pages. Seems like Jack Harrison is nearly done.

    I think there is a reason Diaby is being kept 30 yards away from the defense. From what I've seen from his tackling so far which backs up the Bundesliga stats is that he makes Bailey look like Roy Keane. So I dont see him playing any deeper than he is now. I can see that team being used but more in a 4-3-3 where it makes sense as a game plan against the opposition.
  16. villaglint
    Good news we’re close. Seems like a deal with plenty of upside. His goal is to be better than Bailey, a kid who’s never played in top flight of any league and not get an ACL. Shouldn’t be the highest bar but who knows.
  17. villaglint
    Because they are top of the FFP league. The ONLY league that matters.

    Wonder what the Saudis view is on incest?

    What time frame does this cover?

    Profile wise ESR would be a good replacement for Emi. But given the unplanned nature of this I think we’ll be shopping in the bargain bin or clever transfers. Think Arsenal would want decent money for him.
  21. villaglint
    Yeah agreed our game will now adapt. I also thought he looked good on the ball. Guess that’s a given with his reputation. Really need to make sure we our able to adapt to cover the things we’ll now miss with Mings out. It’s a huge challenge but he’s got the pedigree and the manager to hopefully figure out a game plan that play to his and our strengths in both directions.
  22. villaglint
    Defensively - probably. Mings was a monster in the air. Like a magnet to the ball, always seems to be in the right place. It’s something Carlos, Torres and Konsa are going to have to really work hard at because it’s a big big loss. Offensively - not at all. Mings is surprisingly terrible at attacking corners. From what I’ve seen of Carlos and Torres I think this is one area we’ll actually improve.
  23. villaglint
    Agreed. What we need is a dominant CB like Mings but given we won’t be able to throw the money at it that would be required then we really need Torres and Carlos to step up and show their worth.

    Watching Rollheiser YT vids was the tonic I needed tonight. He looks like Messi. Thanks VT.
  25. villaglint
    Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think Archer is used to being the figurehead of an attack. He played up top with Akpom at Middlesborough and pretty sure there was a target man type player alongside him at Preston. At Villa he is playing the Watkins role leading the line and maybe that doesnt get the best out of him. Anyway assuming we bring in another striker I'm happy. Seems to be zero links to strikers though, that is the concerning bit.
