    If the right offer come in I think the board would look at it, if it means it gives the club a healthy FFP margin. 

    Let's face facts, until our revenue starts increasing we have no choice but to sell players for the right price, it blows I know but what other choice done have? Invent a company to sponsor us for 100m? Cook the books?

    I really would not be surprised to see a top player leave in the summer to help spear the additions to the squad. 

    I might be totally wrong, but say we sold watkins (whether or not people think its an option) we would still need to replace him. 

    So we sell for say 70 mill. The cost of 'trying' to replace his output, work rate, likeability etc is going to be more than that. For as player of that quality, wages are likely going to have to break the bank also and be more than what ollie is on. 

    So if we do all that, are we not just straight back into a massive ffp shit cycle? 

    Also, we know what we'll get frok ollie each year. Any new transfers, partixularly strikers, are always a big gamble as to whether it would work

      Some classic outtakes in this thread if you go further back🤣

      

      

     

    All of the critcism he received was based on fact. He was utterly useless for a long stretch and at times gave off the impression that he was lazy. 

    Testament to him that he has worked so hard and is now playing brilliantly, a joy to watch. 

    Going back to slag off posters who were bang on with their observations at that time is really odd.

    I would be surprised if Pau, Carlos and Konsa are all out for another month.  Pau looked fairly relaxed and comfortable on the bench rather than a player who was worried that they might be out for a few weeks (but that might just be wishful thinking).

    I hope so. But this is villa - told a player is out for 2 weeks, which turns to 4, then 6 and so on

  4. An interesting question on twitter:

    Performance wise only as Yorke forever tarnished is legacy in my opinion by kissing the united badge in front of us but brilliant player. 

    1. Yorke

    2. Benteke second as he was insane in such a god awful team. His goals kept us up for two years. 

    3. Ollie third (currently) but carry on this trajectory and he could end up first place. 

    4. Gabby - thanks for the goals against blues but an utter bellend during our relegation season
