As a CB himself, i find it shocking that Bruce has not brought in cover here. All you can do is try! Dealing with people is unpredictable at the best of times. Anyway, who cares, we'll just score more than everyone else I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has known about this since the day JT left the club. Now i understand that you can't always get what you want, but aswell as Elphick being allowed to leave, he has also let a couple of young CB's from the youth set up leave so we can't even raid the under 23's. He has left us woefully short. It's not great as it is, should Chester pick up an injury we are really up the creak without a paddle. It's poor, poor planning.

Okay, for the first what? 6 weeks, maybe longer after losing JT we didn't even know if we'd have a club come kick off. Then there's been the takeover and all the planning and working out that comes with that. He signed tuanzebe, he's tried to sign others that we know of and a whole host more we don't know about I'd wager. Okay, it's not great, I'm not going to argue that and of course, along with others he's culpable for that but I don't think the situation warrants the type of comments we're seeing, yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post briny_ear Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Welcome Tammy! Glad you didn't read Villatalk before you signed and follow the advice of those who would have had you sign anywhere but Villa. This is a great signing. Well done Stevie.

Our success this season depends on you scoring more than our defence is likely to concede. No pressure then. Many seem to have this view. I don’t share it, we are only JT short of last year. And so is every other club. I think our defence is good enough for what we need. We shall see ! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked us to sign Gayle. Such an underrated player and would have been excellent alongside Davis too when he gets back from injury. Good luck to him though.

Guest av1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'll never quit understand these windows, but in his interview with the OS he said that he made his mind about Villa a couple of days ago and that JT had already been on the phone to congratulate him.

Guest av1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don't know why i listen because i think the guy is a plum, but Adrian Durham has just said the following in TS. 'Will Tammy Abraham get a game at Villa This season? Will he even score a goal? So either: i) He thinks Abraham is crap Or ii) He thinks Kodjia, Hogan and Davis are great strikers. I'm going to plump for: iii) Durham is a prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
