So just chill. It's not serious until we are "Set to prepare to step up the chase to launch a bid" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very important and ill get abuse for this but I fear we might end up making too many side ways signings, ability and proven at high level standards need improving to avoid another bottom 6 struggle. To me Watkins might not handle it, how much better then what we have is he? Is he another punt? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suspense is nearly as bad as the relegation fight stress...... Well, it's just very recently that I've stopped worrying about VAR giving West Ham a late penalty so I think I can manage to wait a little bit more. After all, as the window slams shut in October, I think we've got plenty of time. Once UCL and UEL is finished, I think we will see more movement. I think we will see similar behaviour this window as all others. That quite a lot of the business is done right up until deadline day. So there's still much time for us to the usual considering bids, preparing bids, table them, and so on. But of course I want us to do our business early. We don't want clubs like Brentford to have to brace themselves for months for our bids. Edited August 6, 2020 by Silent_Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember most came out the blue or from foreign media. The club rightly keeps its card close to its chest. Agreed. Will be interesting to see if this changes at all now - the new sporting director might have a good mate in the danish media for example. Last year they kept it all pretty tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think benrama is good enough if your aiming for cl personally. Don’t think Ben is a JM type player. He would drive Mourinho nuts not tracking back.

It's all getting very Captain Hindsight in here. EDIT: Page break monster got me again I remember being excited about Shevchenko coming to the PL and he mediocre.

It's just a huge benefit you get by having a high profile coach. so this will be it for the summer... they go to leeds - because leeds have a better manager - nothing to do with money, or personal preference, or maybe even us not even bidding (I don't believe SSN) it'll be because of dean smith the same dean smith who bought both players for brentford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something wasn't right at Chelsea at that time. I remember seeing Crespo in the Champions league at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea against average group opposition (don't even remember who!) and it was 0-0, Crespo played actually pretty well, thundered the bar, ran really well but didn't get many chances. So weird they both failed there, they were incredible players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 6, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don’t think there’s a specific budget at the Villa with the new owners. Smith will just issue a list of who he wants and an attempt will be made to get those players. See people mentioning a signing of intent. Although his wages would be astronomical Zidane would drive Gareth Bale to Villa Park himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Villa Bale will be in is the rather spectacular one he owns outside Madrid, Zidane would have to break his fingers to get him off the door frame and in the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only asking because you always seem to have a pretty sensible understanding of the villa... I'm sure you've explained the situation before but I just can't remember!

Let's just sack Smith for the hell of it then as that's obviously what you're getting at. We're clearly falling way behind Leeds and its all Smith's fault.
