Doesn’t matter how good a squad is there will always be a team that is considered the strongest 11.

Would you be able to choose Man City's best 11? It would probably depend on who they were playing

Maybe it will be the same for us!!

At the expensive of the Conference ? Going to be a serious balancing act. If we are in the mix for top 4 come knock out games does he rest players ? 
 

Will be a nice dilemma to have I guess.

It depends on what you think " Resting players" means. A good squad means more rotation than resting players. That's when whoever plays doesn't weaken the team

I think we are working to that aim. Certainly hope it is. That's the way you can stay competitive in multi competitions

& F him too! Poor deluded fool. Should he be allowed out unsupervised? 

That's just hysterical!! Should be in a padded cell. Perhaps it's Care in the Community why he's out

Noticed on other sides fans sites that they are starting to get very worried about Villa

Where is the plane now?

If you're interested it departed about an hour later to Munich (it's based in Germany)

All planes land at BHX from that side so not really a detour. The direct line over BMH probably wasn't accidental. 

It was a standard approach to Runway 15 at BHX No detour involved

There's no flight scheduled to arrive at BHX at 12:15pm today so is it a private flight?

Yes it is a private Citation jet, now just airborne from Valencia

does that mean seeing the reported plane from spain to here (as per a few twitter posts on the interwebz)?, or that you actually know more personally due to your ITK about flyey planey stuff?

I have contacts. Pau is definitely on the flight

Anyone from the Bundesliga gives me bad vibes. I don't think Diaby would be much different to Bailey. 

Oh, believe me, I think he would!!

They can do it in the illustrious destinations of Düsseldorf and Gelsenkirchen , but could they do it on a cold, windy night in Stoke on Trent?

Nobody can do it on a cold Tuesday in Stoke. That is why I'm forever grateful they are not in the Premier league!!!!!

The lack of any action is because we’re going big for the forward positions. Ferran Torres, Harvey Barnes, Gnonto etc all there for the taking and it seems we’re not interested….

Why would you think we are not interested in these players? Just asking!

The chances of Archer or Duran being a top 6 PL level striker really aren’t that high. If we lose Mings we’ve still got Torres, Konsa, and Carlos, if we lose Douglas Luiz we’ve got Tielemans, Kamara etc. Don’t understand why we wouldn’t want that same depth up front.

I actually think Archer has all the attributes to be a top top striker. Could take another year though

Villa Park IS Aston Villa It always has been and it always will be Remodel it slightly Yes Move away No never. It would never be the same club

Villa Park is the very soul of the club. I would NEVER accept moving NEVER

Yes My mate has, free cancellation of course

I do get the feeling we’re overlooking the fact that we probably need sell a few players to fund new acquisitions. With that being the case, who do we think could fetch decent money? I’m afraid it’s highly unlikely the likes of Nakamba, Chambers and Sanson are going to command big fees so I guess the following might be available? 

Bailey
Cash
Digne
Konsa
Buendia
Coutinho
Archer
Carlos
Dendoncker

Im not advocating selling any of the above as it’s important to have a decent squad, im just not naive to the fact that we need to generate revenue as well as spend it!

Interesting List. I'm sure there's no chance whatsoever that Konsa,Buendia,Archer and Carlos would be sold. There's a decent chance the others could be if bids come in

Konsa and Carlos are the only Right footed Centre halves so can't be sold (They also could feature at RB in Emerys well known system). Archer will be part of the Academy

four that are needed under European rules. Buendia is a solid squad player who will get plenty of playing time.

Only as a last resort if we can't get anyone better before the window ends. I assume by that time he'll have already found another club, but he might keep his options open until the end of the window too.

If we get someone better than Zaha we'll have got ourselves one hell of a player

city seemed to cope just fine chopping and changing the defence every week

You can do that when you have a choice of top class defenders. We now have Konsa,Mings, Carlos & Torres and it doesn't get beeter than that anywhere in the Prem
