  1. Does this mean the return of the Villa Talks Podcast Omar? Missed you lot.
  2. He’s a player I rate and would have been very exciting but at this point I’d be pretty embarrassed both for us and him if this happens. He’s shot himself in the foot in dramatic fashion. Difficult to see where his career goes from here.
  3. Didnt hate him as you say seemed like a nice enough bloke. But he wasnt the sharpest tool in the box. Townley at least seems like he's got a bit more going on upstairs.
  4. Very interesting link - this is what VT and Twitter should be for. Looks to come from someone who is a journalist connected to his current club. Seems to be a different type of striker to Ollie which lends itself to the profile of someone who can play with or instead of him. A very Monchi type signing too. IF it happened would presumably mean Archer or Duran going out on loan.
  5. If anyone can make up some random numbers that satisfy both the regulators and both clubs it’s Barcelona.
  6. Yet more made up bs by wannabee ITK's. I know for a fact that in the next week it'll be announced that fans will be offered a new package for an extra £73 per game when they will be able to sit within ear shot of Gregg at every game and listen to his views on our current status with regards to FFP.
  7. Journeyman footballer - scored four goals in national league as a centre forward for York City last season. Biggest claim to fame is he scored against Wrexham so has half a chance of being on the new Netflix series. NOT good enough for where we want to be. Monchi out.
  8. Pretty sure infrastructure spending doesn’t count towards FFP. So you might be on to something here.
  9. Be interesting to see him sprint. Not seen him do that since his injury, will be interesting to see how his achilles holds up to that and the rigours of keeping up with rapid PL strikers.
  10. Doku not exactly wracking up the numbers in French league what are people seeing here to rate him so highly? Never seen him play except for Belgium.
  11. I’m terms of ability he seems exactly what we need, a clear step up in quality from Buendia for example. I get the concerns around his attitude and seeming reluctance to come here. But from the player’s perspective you can’t blame him for wanting to play at highest level possible. I can’t imagine Bruno was desperate to get himself to a Newcastle side in bottom half of PL but sometimes you take your best option available. Maybe….maybe this time we could be that for Felix.
  12. I love your commitment to the bit. All the caveats - pre season etc but you are correct. Both Ramsey, Philogene looked more threatening.
  13. My favourite bit of the Pau Torres video is where they take him into Unai office. He is all pleased to see him but also slightly pissed off because they’ve interrupted him in the middle of the first half of Villa v Stevenage which he is watching for the 7th time.
  14. After only watching YT vids and one game I'd now like Alex Scott to be the under study/competition for Ramsey/McGinn in wide areas. Kid looks ready made for PL. Question is though can Aaron Ramsey step up to do that job, got a little feeling either him or Philogene are going to have a breakthrough year with 1st team.
  15. Slightly odd stats. Makes it look like we were in really good form when Gerrard got sacked which is....not... how I remember it. Do these figures mean we had a higher Xg than Fulham when he got sacked? That is a massive alarm bell as to how seriously to take this graph right there.
  16. I’m excited for the double left footer thing to drive VT wild every time we concede a goal. Can’t work out which one of them plays RCB?
  17. We thinking Johnson and Diaby or one or the other?
  18. Without a club at 29. Funny old career. Dele Alli style issues? Or something else missing/not right. Was a player in there somewhere. Maybe just too much money too young and he lost his hunger
  19. I was trying to think of some examples of players who have made their name as a wonderkid in lower level leagues > flopped when exposed to a higher standard > then been a success when exposed to an even tougher league. Thierry Henry is a good one - any others?
  20. Seems to be widely derided by the Milan fans.
  21. Given the figures involved I’d guess the only deal available would be a loan like Chelsea. They paid £11m or something for half a season. It’s difficult to imagine us paying £20m for a season plus wages but who knows.
  22. As much as PSG and our summer has become a running joke they make the most sense as his next destination. Pretty sure he liked a post when Enrique was announced as manager.
  23. With this war, Putins games and the Prigozhin stuff I can’t stop thinking of the crazy Russians from the Peaky Blinders series was it the last or second to last series. Think it’s very difficult for anyone from outside to understand.
