Hopefully Luke Organ will be involved too. He's older at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Xia now also CEO then you'd imagine this now falls under his remit. Him negotiating with Levy will be like Del Boy negotiating with Alan Sugar. It is bad enough we are going to lose our better players never mind losing them for well below their true value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have as much dramatic effect on the message board though, so we will want to reject this more common sensical assumption. I'll take the 29 year old Chinese kid with no experience for 3 pounds please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Fellaini was a bit overrated as a film director for me but I love the Bullseye reference at the foot of the previous page.

Czechlad Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Solanke would be a good loan in as well considering teams are circling Hogan and Kodjia apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Also Kalas is back with Chelsea. Very much doubt he stays with them. He did well for Fulham, but likely won't go back on loan there. He can play center back or right back. He is a solid experienced championship defender who I think we can really use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others probably just wouldn't want to come, unfortunately, though might be an improvement on what we'll have available. I am very aware that apart from the two I have put an emoji next to, no supporter at Villa would be jumping with joy about the rest.

Jas10 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Forster on loan? How many loans are we allowed, 5? Can see us relying on them so long as the clubs they’re coming from pay most of the player wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
