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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I love your commitment to the bit. All the caveats - pre season etc but you are correct. Both Ramsey, Philogene looked more threatening.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
We thinking Johnson and Diaby or one or the other?
-
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
-
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?
-
Seems to be widely derided by the Milan fans.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Seems they are harder to find that 20 goal strikers.
-
I remember going to first game after lock down in the Upper Holte and there were no locks on 2 out 3 toilets in one I was in. They’d had months to fix it but no, beyond the realms of possibility.
-
I hope you are right. I always try and watch the “vs” vids on YT which show you all touches in a game. Few on there for Diaby not exactly encouraging (could easily have been a Bailey performance). But very small sample size so if he does come hopefully those who have seen him play properly will be right.
-
Thing is for Bailey he has never consistently been able to beat his man one on one. He has moments here and there but he doesn’t have the pace, tricks, strength to overpower most PL full backs. So priority number one in any player we buy in that position is to rectify that weakness. Never seen Diaby play so no idea if he’s stronger than Bailey in these points or not.
-
How many seats are we losing by having no North stand for 2yrs and how many season ticket holders are there currently? Assuming the North stand season tickets will be relocated in rest of stadium for 2yrs and it’ll basically be impossible for anyone else to go.
-
This man walked past the front of my house last night. Can confirm he was smaller than expected.
-
Thing is with Kamada - if PL clubs were interested would there be a hope in hell of him going to Milan? Suggests the PL scouts are put of by something. Not sure what it is but no way Italian clubs can compete with PL for free transfers these days.
-
I'm really hoping Threads takes off and serves to kill off Twitter. I wont be going to threads the idea of feeding Zuckerberg more millions is not going to happen for me at least. But killing off twitter would genuinely improve my life. I am utterly addicted to it and its a complete waste of time.
-
Seems like the cost of Chuckwueze will be in 25-35m euro bracket. Given we are linked to almost every right winger in Europe I guess we’ll be aware of this.
-
Presumably you’ll only be able to go into this new bar if your sat in North stand? Or possibly Trinity too? Part of the attraction of Villa Live thing was you could go there before and after the game like at the rugby or other PL teams. Hope they come back to it, no idea what the problems involved were but seems like an opportunity missed.
