I would be interested to find out who these players are and what the penalties or payments are. I can't imagine any manager picking a player in his team because it's going to cost the club a few pound or agreeing to loan a player knowing that he has to play him every week even if he's shit/on the piss/not interested/fighting with his team mates/etc.. In onomah's case I would be astonished if we agreed to loan him with any clauses like that in his contract.

It never is. Also the reason that we are underachieving is that there's no focus or action by the enormous coaching team to try to correct the quality of the performances. Here's a theory, if we play better football that involves passing and isn't an assault on the eyes we will get good results on a much more regular basis. It's a concept lost on people at Villa.

We have the highest wage bill in the league, have spent a fortune and have probably the second best, if not the best, squad in the league. Any semi competent manager would have us in the top two in this (terrible) league. Derby, Bristol City and Cardiff all doing better than us with vastly inferior squads. It's simply not true to say that promotion isn't/wasn't achievable. We are underachieving because we have a shit manager. It's as simple as that.

Has any player ever in the history of football actually had this clause in their loan contract? Or is it just something football fans speculate about when they disagree with the teamsheet? I suspect it's the former.
-
That's just wishful thinking imo. We are 9 points behind second place and teams at the top of the league win alot more often than they lose. Barring a miracle, we are in a battle for the playoffs. Automatic promotion is a pipe dream.

You enjoy misery? I have little doubt that Bruce will try to set us up to grind out a draw (which we'll fail to do) and he'll think a draw would be a fantastic result. My prediction for the team: GK Johnstone RB Elmo CB Chester CB Elphick LB Taylor RM Snodgrass CM Whelan CM Jedinak LM Adomah CAM Grealish ST Davis/Hogan
-
In the mix for what exactly? It's certainly not automatic promotion where we should be. Being in the playoffs is the bare minimum that should be achieved. But it's inevitable now that Bruce will blame injuries and try to shift the expectation to: we should be happy to be just competing for the playoff places.
-
Well that's not going to happen. Bruce has one way to play and doesn't 'do tactics'. That's why hogan won't be in any good in a Steve Bruce team. What's really baffling is why he bought him in the first place. Panic buy.

I love the way the posts have changed from we're only X points off second to we're only X points off the playoffs
-
The exact opposite of this will happen. With the possible entry of netflix, Facebook or amazon this transfer might look cheap in a few years.

Well both wingers are playing on a side which means that to use their good foot they have to cut inside. If you want a more traditional style of wing play they would need to be swapped as then they could "go down the line" on their good foot and not have to cut inside all the time.
-
Bruce will probably sign him in January
-
Jedinak all over the place at the back. Plenty more goals in this for Donaldson of he wants them.

Absolute sitter. Easier to score.

25' in and it's going great so far.

Not before they give him another £150m next summer to blow on jorge mendes players.

He was also the same manager who cancelled training because he went to Paris to visit his daughter.

The united one looks like a "Man Utd Official Tractor Supplier Yanmar" tractor drove over some pink paint and then over some jerseys that were on the ground. Bayern one is nice.

Tomas Rosicky. He has also retired : BeeB The quintessential Arsenal player, neat and tidy in possession, lightweight and terrified of physicality, a shrinking violet when things got tough, always injured.

Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!

You can say they same thing about the football authorities too, FA, UEFA, FIFA don't mind who you are as long as you bring your bags of cash. -
Was he leaning out the window talking to a skysports news reporter at the time?

They can't afford him. Seriously, they actually can't.

22 games, 11 goals, 16 points, 3 defeats in a row...they break your heart Tom. Going, going, gone!

Why do the fans hate the Coates family? From the outside it looks like once the Bet365 money came along they invested a decent amount in the club.
