If he stays then great. If he's off then he can do one. All the "My Club" stuff would have been nonsense all along and I'd sincerely hope he never wins a single trophy in his career.

Either way, VTID.

I'm guessing you're on of those that boo'd Gareth Barry after giving us 12 years

I play football with the son of a prominent English manager, who is also a football agent. He was saying last night Grealish's agent has been talking up the City move, i.e. it's happening. I suppose he would say that, or it might be wishful thinking. But, yeh. 

The spirit and togetherness of the club in the promotion push, and to date, is easily the best it's been since before MON even, and the football has been excellent. Survival was the goal last year, and it was patently obvious to any sane fan that it would be very difficult given the ins and outs over the summer. And yes, there were lows last season. Regardless, Dean earned the right to complete the season, and thank God he did and no-one at Villa was listening to the nut jobs on here.

If you were Smith Out at any point last season... you need your head checking.

Can't JT give Lamps a call to sort us Hudson-Odoi on loan?

Vastly underrated IMO, one of the league's most creative FB's (check the stats), and selling him would leave a gaping hole in the team. Let's hope Leicester look elsewhere

Was the drinks break not to do with playing in the summer and the temperatures being higher than normal? The distance on the bench is a loads of b******s  though. I mean they come on and they get involved in one on one duels and grapple at corner kicks.

Nah it was intended to mitigate the physical toll of a large amount of fixtures in a short space of time (i.e. the Championship all season)

I don't know how to put this politely, but I would like to welcome Nakamba back to Belgium on the first flight. Truly awful player, who is so full of mistakes I can't stand watching him. We are going to ship some players, and Nakamba is first on my list.

Oh come on, this is ridiculous. He's brilliant at breaking up the play, making tackles, interceptions. He is a good DMF with CL experience.

Reminds me of when people were out here claiming Idrissa Gueye was poor

Brings other players into the game more than any of our other strikers. Puts his body on the line, does the simple stuff well. There's a player in there. I just wish he could score

Our left back spot is quite problematic and if we were to strengthen there, it might be better to sell Targett, buy a better replacement and keep Taylor as a backup since he has probably the most Premier League experience of all our players (maybe barring Heaton?).

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want to get rid of Targett. He's behind only Robertson and Digne in terms of chances created, and for the most part has been good defensively IMO (he's had it very tough back there). Great signing.

If we're still in the PL at 6.15pm, regardless of how, this season will be a success, given the aforementioned total (necessary) overhaul of playing staff and injury-decimated spine (Heaton/McGinn/Wesley).

Any other opinion is bullsh*t 

Came on here last night excited to soak up the shared VT joy after *one of the biggest wins in our recent history*... to find posters slagging off KD for his "unacceptable" second half miss, and question "where was this attitude all season?!", among plenty of other negativity.

I guess some people just find it difficult to enjoy life's W's when they do come around.

Unbelievable we are now in this position, everyone in football had written us off including most of our own fanbase. Credit to Deano, credit to the players, credit to the fans who never stopped believing. UTV - on to Sunday!

Bjorn Engels has more job security than I do, and gets paid ten times more.

If he gets a career ending injury he is f*****d. If he underperforms consistently his job (/club) and wage will reflect that.

I really don't see what your point is dude

Spoke to my mate who's a Chelsea fan, regards Rui Faria...

- Basically thinks he's a genius

- Very hands-on coach, will run training sessions himself

- Apparently Jose once said "If I am the no1 coach in the world, Rui is the no2"... interesting that Man Utd's downturn in fortunes has coincided with his departure although maybe reading too much into that!

Some reasons why Henry would excite me:

- by most accounts he is a scholar of the game, takes a very analytical view to coaching & tactics 

- he has achieved great things in football and would command the respect of the entire dressing room on this basis

- inspiring for our younger players to have an idol like Henry working with them

- a huge draw for attracting talented young players

It really doesn't sound that far - fetched. What's the limit with dear old, Bournemouth ? He's achieved mid - table mediocrity, I can't see him exceeding that success. He might well see us as a poison chalice, or he might see the potential, ( rich, new, owners ) and challenge, in being able to take this club back to challenging for the top six of the Premier.

The only concern for me would be maybe the job is too big for him, maybe Bournemouth is his comfort zone.

Can't be bothered to go back and check if you're actually talking about Eddie Howe, but if you are, u dizzy blud. 

Also think we'd be extremely lucky to get FSW, he is a very good manager far beyond someone we could realistically hope to attract presently.

But none of that matters Henry + Terry's Barmy Army!

Who the **** is DaveJenkins56?

Nothing has changed for me. This is the first offer. Brice confirmed that in Hull post match when he said no offers had been made yet, so the £25m was the first. It has been reported we are going to decline as that doesn't match our valuation. So nothing changed. They offer what he is worth in the clubs yes, he goes. That would bet he same for any player at any club. The only question is, what is that number in the clubs eyes. As he is the most important player in our squad and promotion gets us £150m, i would say he is worth £150m and I am not joking. Pay that and he is yours. Anything less, why would we sell and lessen our chances of getting promoted and £150m. 

From Jacks perspective he has 4 options. 

1. Stay with Villa and go u[p. he misses one season in the prem but then gets there with his beloved Villa in a team built around him. 

2. Stay with Villa and miss promotion again. He will have a great season regardless, increase his value and then if he is impatient for the prem, he can go then and make us more money as he is worth more then. 

3. Go to Spurs and Villa go up this season. He is then playing against his beloved villa next year thinking, he could be in that team having just secured promotion with them the year before. And unless Spurs with the league this year, I would suggest he would then have regrets. 

4. Go to Spurs and Villa don't go up. He would then feel he has hurt us as we didn't go up and him leaving affected that. 

So either way,I would suggest heart strings wise, he will want to stay and give us one more year.

I hope! 

5. Stay with Villa, risk suffering a serious injury / bad loss of form this year, and lose out on the opportunity to play in the Champions League.

Let's not forget careers are short and the vast majority of players never get an opportunity to make the step up (professionally and financially). I really hope to God he stays as he is basically irreplaceable at this point, but no-one could begrudge him the move.

Why the **** is everyone so happy? 

I'm really confused
