West Ham will only get him if they sell Rice for £100mil and the Golds offer Brighton £30mil

Talk if West Ham wanting him now. He’s my #1 target. Hope we get him.

1st Choice player in a team that finished in the CL last season with least goals conceded in the league (30 in 38) sounds pretty decent to me

Weve signed Carlos

I put £10 at 10-1 when we scored the 2nd as i knew we'd **** it up - its the Villa way unfortunatly

Hopefully now he is here permanently we can use him more effectively rather than him starting every game.

Great move though - no doubt about that.

I was talking about Carbone

Carbone was a great player but he wanted a ridiculous amount of money to sign for us. 

Shame he wasn't a bit more realistic in his wage negotiations. 

I remember his Debut against Spurs and the FA Cup win against Leeds but apart from that i seem to recall him going missing in a lot of games

Unfortunately i was to young to be able to attend the match but i remember watching on the TV at home and giving my parents a heart attack when i leapt from the sofa and landed  in front of the TV on my knees after Peter White scored in the 67th Minute and then the 23 minutes that followed whic seemed like days

At the tender age of 11 i wasn't fully conversant with the offside rule so when Bayern scored what i thought was the equaliser it took me a couple of minutes before i realised that we were still winning and then when Cowans put the ball in the net in the last minute i celebrated again in a similar fashion to the first goal.

I can remember the build up the to the game and the feeling of trepidation  / knowing that we were the overwhelming underdogs, i even remember having a weird dream the night before where i set up one of my 11 year old school classmates in the final against Bayern but we lost 4-1

I can even remember going out to play football before tea time with a knot in my stomach and a feeling of impending doom even though i had only started following villa the year before at the start of the championship winning season and as a result only been used to us winning.

What are your recollections of the match and the day?

Mods feel free to delete this thread if it already exists elsewhere but i couldnt find it on the search

We have no pressure on us i can see us picking them off 2 or 3 times in the second half and winning by a convincing scoreline and then well see Burnley become more and more frustrated and get a man sent off

We look fairly comfortable tbf i see us getting at least another couple in the second half when it opens up and they become even more desperate 1-4 for me

Dont worry, we will score our late consolation goal and then let them control the game for the last 5 minutes

This team is so easy to hate. Always look shaky when winning and no team is ever out of it. Fold like a house of cards when losing and give up. Spineless rubbish.

Its been that way for 40 years with the Villa

Why the hell is villa park so quiet 

Mainly due to where the mikes are positioned right by the away fans

We don't go offering new contracts to players when they've just signed a 5 year contract 13 months ago. 

What kind of joke club do you think we are. Handing out contracts whenever people want them?

We did with Grealish

Paul Merson has urged Arsenal to attempt to sign striker Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.

The Gunners are targeting a centre-forward given the uncertain futures surrounding their current options in the position.

Probably the worst time to play them tbf after their last defeat and and of the talk in the press about them needing to up their game, it would be just typical for them to put in a performance tonight and win and then beat us on Saturday before returning to playing the dross that they have been serving up over the last few months.

Have we ever signed a player with a higher international profile who wasn’t definitely already way past their best? 
 

Really hope he’s coming back at least close to the player that left the premier league, if he does this could be a seminal moment for us in terms of now move forward as a club.

 

I can’t recall seeing him in interviews but does anyone know what kind of level his English is at? 

Similar to Peter Beardsley so a translator is usually required

Im just glad that we are being linked with him, for me he would be the most important signing of the lot.

Does he not have a pending court case in relation to an alleged sexual assault?

All charges dropped

For me - this would be a more exciting signing than Coutinho

It will be interesting to see what Villas stance will be in in October and November
