  1. The order for me, bearing in mind who is on the pitch at any time: 1. Wesley 2. Kodjia 3. Hourihane 4. Grealish However there are possible shouts for Jota, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, McGinn or Luiz.
  2. Dan Bardell has mentioned this on the Villa View Podcast this morning. In for a striker, which if we pull off will be a massive signing. Maupay is plan B. Very exciting if true. However he obviously didn't give a name.
  3. Really happy with this one. It gives us a couple of years to bring in a young keeper for a realistic fee, I still think we will sign Butland but either when his contract is up or when Stoke lower the fee next Summer. The Burnley fans comments from http://www.uptheclarets.com/ are pleasing to read.
  4. Villa Report have mentioned Nakamba's medical for so many days now, they are clearly not as ITK as they claim.
  5. I think it's unlikely Hazard will sign for us after already signing for Real Madrid. However money talks and we have more of it than most clubs now... Oh wait...
  6. I have a feeling that our business will be done by Friday in terms of incoming players. This then leaves next week free to offload fringe players to teams panic buying and paying over the odds. It also gives us a week to find the best clubs available for players to leave for loans for a full season.

    Harsh, he put in a big shift today.
  8. Makes perfect sense to me, in the majority of games we will line up: Luiz McGinn Grealish If we are up against it, and the back line is under pressure we now have the option to play. Luiz Nakamba Grealish With injuries and bookings: Luiz - Nakamba McGinn - Hourihane or Lansbury Grealish - Hourihane or Lansbury or Jota No professional football team should be restricted on how they play with one injury. Last season we saw it multiple times where Grealish had no backup, Taylor had no backup, we had one fit centre back. The club are simply ensuring that we are never in this situation again. In terms of being a selling club, I don't think that's the route we will go down. However if a club bids a silly amount of money, we now have the option to accept and rebuild that position with a backup ready to go. The only player I currently wouldn't sell for any amount is Grealish.
  9. In our last PL game we fielded this team: Bunn Lyden Bacuna Lescott Toner Cissokho Westwood Sanchez Gueye Ayew Sinclair We are likely to field the below in our first game back in the PL: Steer Guilbert Engels Mings Targett Luiz McGinn Grealish Jota Wesley El Ghazi Not even a question if we have improved.
  10. McGinn only got back from international duty last week after running back to Birmingham from Scotland. Deserves a bit of a rest midweek.
  11. There has been no mention of a work permit being rejected.
  12. For me, and I believe Purslow has said something similar, you always need two players in each position. CM - Grealish, McGinn, Hourihane & Lansbury DM - Luiz & Nakamba Sell - Bjarnasson, Tshibola Loan - O'Hare
  13. 100% reliable source is Mr Terreur. Very happy with this, between Luiz and Nakamba we now have DM covered allowing Hourihane to push on to his natural position. The DM spot has been weak for a while, it's going to make a massive impact having a player there controlling games and breaking up play.
  14. I think he is just a week behind everyone on Pre-Season due to his international duty during the Summer. I would expect him to play alongside Grealish on Saturday.
  15. Could someone explain this fascination with Leao? Have we even been linked to him?
  16. Imagine we comfortably stay up, next Summer will be ridiculously exciting. Instead of having to spend our money rebuilding the squad as we've seemed to do since 2010 we will actually be able to buy 1 or 2 quality players for obscene amounts of money to strengthen.
  17. What a player he was, absolutely dominated us in both legs.
