JamesBCFC Posted June 27, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2019 7 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: He’s an idiot. 2 seasons in a row he’s tried to be a hero and win a cup which has led to ridiculous number of games in a short space of time costing them the playoffs. Then he moans about injuries and number of games. Now he has another 4 years to continue making the same mistakes! I get you may not like Johnson, and without wishing to completely derail the thread... In our League cup run we played a pretty much fully rotated squad in the first 3 games, and our injury issues (9 out for 3+months at the same time) started in November, long before the semi final. We then played a full youth team except Flint and the goalkeeper away at Watford in the FA Cup. Last season we were out the League cup first round and only won 2 FA Cup games, both with rotated sides, as was the game we lost (full Portuguese international for Wolves in a midfield contest against someone with something like 3 appearences for us ever). He absolutely tried to win the League Cup in 2017-18, but once you're at that stage you'd be mad not to. But any other claims are overstatements. Anyway, back on topic, I give it a 34.2% chance if you guys signing someone today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats2 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 To me 30M means back off, we don’t want to sell him, that’s all. But they will if they get a ridiculous fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingysilvers Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Jarrod Bowen. Just wanted to bump his name in this thread in the hope one of the lurking journos uses it for their next "transfer gossip" piece and I can indulge in the idea we might sign him. Can just be a "Villa considering a bid" or something like that, we don't have to pretend it's anything too concrete. Ta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) However, I think the one thing we can take from the transfer window thus far is this schematic representation of the stages of our transfer business doneness. I give you The Transfer Toast Doneness Scale 1 is obviously a name in the ether - us "eying", if you like, where 9 is obviously ITSOTP and interview. So could all ITK now refer to what number toast we are at so we can manage our expectations?

To me, toast being at a 9, is the equivalent of us paying £80m for a Championship player with 24 games under his belt. That toast is WAY overdone. 5 or 6 looks perfect. The bottom line of toast would all end up in my bin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 25 minutes ago, Dave-R said: What not even Lolley, Maupay or Phillips gets you excited, that's just uncalled for They are top Championship players for sure. Add Bowen and Benrahma to the list too. I'd absolutely take them if we were still in the Champ. Are they gonna struggle in the Prem? I don't know, but many players who've shone in the Champ have struggled in the Prem, Lolley included when at Huddersfield. Unless they're 18,19,20 and far too good for the league (think Alli, Sessegnon, Sigurdsson), you never know if they can step up and more often than not they don't. Even Sessegnon struggled at a poor Fulham team but I've no doubt he'll play at a top level in future. Have a feeling Benrahma could be a good move but once again Brentford want silly money for him. Both signings from foreign leagues and the Champ are risks, but we seem to be being asked to pay silly prices for Champ players. That's why we must cast the net wider. El Ghazi was an exceptional find and that's the sort of talent we should be looking to find in Europe for the positions we need to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a story once about a guy who asked his boss one Monday if he could have the next day off. His boss said no as he’d already had a lot of time off. He pleaded that he really needed Tuesday off, but his boss was adamant. He told him that if he didn’t show up on Tuesday, don’t bother coming in on Wednesday. The guy showed up on Thursday and his boss asked him what he was doing there as he considered him to be sacked. The bloke just said, I thought you didn’t need me on Wednesday if I couldn’t make Tuesday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
