Could they feasibly get us 5th from bottom ? - I think they could. I think next season will depend on how we perform as a team. Smith has a massive rebuilding job that is somehow taking place in the premier league, when even as late a mid march it looked like it would take place in the championship. Great as it is to be in the PL - I dont think we can afford to buy six players costing £25m each and on 70k pw wages......(yet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I don't think there's place for a voice which is unrelentingly negative. Each event /decision should be taken at face value, not with a preordained no. I agree with the release of a lot of players. I disagree with the release of whelan. Some posts as you rightly imply clearly have an ulterior motive . I'm not sure what that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most satisfying aspects of getting promoted was removing myself from those mind-numbing groups that only served the purpose of sometimes making it possible to watch games when you otherwise wouldn't have been able to. No need for that anymore now we're in the Premier League thank christ. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather go for an undervalued future star that we can get for a fraction of the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilariously he totally blindsided Purslow in that interview when asked about where he was looking to finish and he said "1st". Thus rendering The Wee One into initial stunned silence then strangled supporting ejection of, "100%". However, we only need to be better than three teams this year. Can we do that? In the words of Purslow, "100%". 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uninspiring stuff Jota appears to have legs, Roofe is pure speculation, you appear to take paper talk too seriously. If at the end of the end of the window this sums up the calibre of player we've signed then you'd have something of a point, we'd need better, but the window closes in a couple of months, still plenty of time.

Reece James from Chelsea is a class act, would love a loan deal (with a view to permanent), can't see it happening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is, as an American I wasn't able to watch every match in the Championship, but the ones I did see were on the ESPN+ app, which is a vastly superior product to the NBC Sports app I'll be watching most Villa matches on next season. This is the cross I must bear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ready for a sweeping the shit out and starting again. Get the young stars in, will need to buy a few extra as not all will come good, but as they'll be cheap that's affordable. Develop and grow a side that will play with each other for a few years. Keep loan signings to an absolute minimum. If Mings is willing to come then great, but frankly, I think Kalinic, Chester ( maybe ) and McGinn, oh and that French chap we've got coming in are the only players we keep - aside from the youngsters all on loan. Bring them back flog / release / retire everyone else: Steer ( for his sake, needs football), Bunn, Taylor, Hutton, Kodja, Elmohamady, Jedinak, Whelan, Adomah, Bjarnason, Elphick, Lansbury, Nyland. plus Tuanzebe, Abraham, El Ghazi, Hause all go back to their clubs. Grealish is going to leave, as he should too. Andre Green and Davis I'm counting as youngsters for now. So we need a good 12-15 players to come into the first team squad. Maybe the loanees can fill some of those spots I dunno. But massive overhaul. Absolutely no legs-gone oldies and cast outs from the Premier League club. Experience is not worth the cash right now.

Thats2 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We need to nab this Pedro Rebocho fella from Guingamp before Watford or Leicester get their grubby hands on him. You want to talk about fitting seamlessly into our style of play, go have a look at him, he’s a left back and he’s only 24 and he shouldn’t cost too much especially as Guingamp have gone down. I’d rather get him in than anyone who’s been floated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
