Costa, Jota and Neves are top half in the Prem standard and they've a top manager for this level too in Nuno. Very hard to totally change a footballing culture though. Lambert-ball to Portuguese flair is about as much of a 180 degree turn as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 15 hours ago, Xela said: Arnautović is vastly overpriced and I don't think he's that good. He's a 1 in 5 player. One game every month he looks amazing and one of the best wide players in the league and then you don't see him for a few weeks. Shaqiri is exactly the same. Nice profit for Stoke though, they signed him for 3m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Wolves were terrible defensively last year. Have they signed any new CBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 yeah 2 i think, definitely got boly in who will be decent enough but they're playing 3-4-3 and they've played a converted midfielder as the middle one a couple of times in pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players and manager have to get used to England. They will be very inconsistent, some weeks thrashing teams others getting beaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said last summer Wilshere was silly to turn down Milan and apparently Roma in favour of just sticking to his comfort zone at Bournemouth. He wasn't even that great there as Paul says. Think Seria A where it's slower paced and he could get on the ball more would've suited him. just saw no Jean Makoun plays for them.....legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 paid it and then got a £12m signing on bonus...or more likely managed to find a bank or like you say 3rd party who were willing to loan him the money based on future earnings i think spain have 5/6 really exciting prospects for central midfield, he's probably bottom of that list, needed a step up and might get a big prem money move one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair - @TrentVilla was closer! (Although that doesn't include his full game, goal scoring appearance in the League Cup. So nearly 5 full matches.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's gotten farcical hasn't it? I know the whole 'football's going to implode, the bubble will burst' rhetoric has done the rounds for years but it's truly reaching epic proportions now. It has to reach some form of tipping point, my hope is that the TV money gets pulled out from under it, the likes of City, Chelsea and United would practically be declared bankrupt overnight.
