In other ‘news’ we’re not ‘preparing’ this week but ‘plotting’ which suggests we’re going backwards as plotting would surely come before preparing in most situations. In my opinion plotting is more detailed preparation and so plotting is more advanced than preparing. Unless of course we are preparing to launch, which is further advanced than plotting. However closing in comes after launch. So I would say the time line is as follows; 1. Preparing, 2. Plotting, 3. Preparing to launch, 4. Launching, 5. Closing in, then finally 6. The swoop. Of course there are sometime additional plays that occasionally can be added by the more advanced gamers. For example the “audacious” swoop or of course the “cheeky” bid which can often stand alone without any of the aforementioned preparing or plotting etc. It’s interesting that you have introduced wild animals into the process, but be careful to not get too involved with fish, especially pollock as that can really open a can of worms.

Gompedyret Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have sources indicating that swooping is bad, however. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 A new week, still no signings. For a team that’s narrowly escaped relegation, 3 weeks away from the season starting and we still haven’t signed a player... that is grim. - From an overreacting villa fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It’s Monday morning, the beginning of a brand new week, a week that will see Aston Villa make their first signing of the window. Or a week that will see a further 350 pages of speculation on VT, five new player threads, countless fish puns and hundreds of disappointed Villa fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that currently we have the worst group of strikers and keeper in the league going into the first game. I'm a little nervous not gonna lie. It would be frustrating if after two consecutive season where we pull off mini miracles, we don't cement ourselves as a premier league team this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is superb on the left. Samatta and Wesley are both crap, hoping for a big season for Keinan. Trezeguet on the right is a bit like Weimann, works like a horse and will ship in with a goal every now and then but limited player. Our defence is ok. Targett still terrifies me defensively but he is good going forward. Heaton on his way back. I don't think it's as bad as people are suggesting if we make no signings.

Dave-R Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Yeah pretty darn lousy if we have this week and still no signings. I would love to see two come in by end of the week, three even but I think I'm dreaming and asking for a those behind Villa to pull there socks up about this. Like some have said, were a struggling premier side that needs signings. We need signings in earliest as possible to give them every possible bit of time to work into the squad so we dont have an early rough time. Sure weve just had a couple of new guys getting into there new jobs, but I hope to god they are close to finding some new players soon.

Jareth Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Given the window's overlap with the season cos Covid - I'm suspending the usual anxiety about getting players in pronto - that's not to say it's an invalid point, I'd love them in early, but the start of this season is going to be quite a mixed bag for a lot of teams while they wait to get the squad sorted. Hopefully our form carries over from end of last season, there's a good chance it could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Club is working on deals behind the scenes but nothing is remotely close at the moment so wouldn't expect any deals to be completed for weeks yet. A lot of clubs need money but at the moment are trying their luck and asking for ridiculous sums for their players, as we get closer to the close of the window they will panic and have no choice but to lower their asking prices, we're adamant that we're not going to over pay. Edited August 24, 2020 by useless I made this up, but it's the impression I get. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
