foreveryoung Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Anyone else think we will be the dark horse of the league this year? I can see a lot of people who don't take much notice of us thinking we're going to be awful without delph and benteke, but I think we've made good signings and will continue to do so. I think Clark, Okore and Grealish will continue to get better and I think Gil will play a big part for us. Sherwood and Wilkins will get the best out of the squad and I can see us surprising a lot of people with how we play and where we finish this year. I'm not confident. When you look at what everyone else is doing when we are buying a few randoms. Could you predict a confident win at Bournemouth, id doubt it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hmmm, I just hope Sherwoods favorite, Adabayor, don't turn into O'neils favourite striker. (obviously if we sign him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2015 I reckon we'll lose to Bournemouth. Everyone will go absolutely mental and it'll be all doom and gloom. But we'll end up having a comfortable season once everyone settles. Basically, the opposite of last season's cluster **** 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamsonwoodVillan Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We're heading into the unknown with Sherwood really. Some think it'll work out fine, others are really worried by the prospect. I think the signings so far have been good signings for a club in our position. If a new goalkeeper, defender, central midfielder and two strikers were all to come in from now and all do reasonably ok then I'd fancy us to do well this season. Yes Sherwood has lost two huge players which is a big blow, but the rebuild of the whole 11-18 may make us stronger than any Lambert side. We're heading into the unknown with Sherwood really.

Now now we'll have no contretemps here You get a like for teaching me a new word! It was a reference to the NRC / Martin O'Neill spat There was a bit of a contretemps between myself and Nigel, which usually happens between players really and the manager separates them. There were no fisticuffs. There was no wrestling to the ground. I don't remember lying on the floor. But it was enough for me to treat the incident seriously. Nigel won't play [tomorrow]. I have given him the weekend off and so it's entirely up to him if he comes to the match." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/sep/18/martin-oneill-nigel-reo-coker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I can understand Talksport's negativity regarding Villa. We have lost our two best players + Cleverley and no buyer in sight. It depends on who Sherwood brings in and whether these players can hit the ground running. We cannot afford a slow start because that will create a lot of negativity.
