Bloody nothing as exciting as a striker you know nothing about. Doesn't have to be foreign though. Just unknown. _____ If Tarkowski is available from Burnley, we have to get in there. This plays into my 352 will get us into the top 4 theory but he's just absolutely fantastic. So good. Love Konsa, but Tarkowski is just brilliant. Better than Mings. Better than any centre half in the England squad. Presumably 20m won't get him. I'd be asking for £40m if I was Burnley. I guess you like Tarkowski... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 1 hour ago, sidcow said: Well, no it isn't akin to saying that. Teams not good enough for The Premier League are relegated from it and only the best teams from The Championship get into it so it is clearly weaker than The Premier League. Those other leagues have strength at the top end only. I am pretty sure that most Championship teams would survive mid to lower table in those leagues. They are well weaker than The PL. How come, if those leagues have strength at the top end only, do the mid table PL teams struggle against the mid table teams from the other leagues in the Europa league for example? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are working themselves up and WHU are also up in arms at him going. We have an interest but how likely is it that we might gazump WBA? He has signed for WBA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dudevillaisnice Posted September 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2020 Desperately need pace in the team. We are probably the slowest team in the league as it stands. Really hope we don’t neglect this again otherwise we are in for yet another tough season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold the squad for a shed load, barely even a whiff of champions league since! But thats what we did.....but didn't get the money in fees, just hot rid of the wage bill.

villan-scott Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 Oh dear, Noble not happy that Diangana allowed to leave. They’ll likely be in the relegation mix this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the strong links are for players who are already based in England and can hit the ground running. If only it worked that way. Players from the championship for example are of no guarantee of hitting the ground running in the premier league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 It’s old news the Spammers have to sell to buy. Diangana money being used to bolster the defence. But make no mistake about it, Diangana is not the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Follyfoot said: There was a feeling amongst us the year we got promoted That there was not a great deal of difference between the bottom six In the premiership and the top six in the championship. That was very quickly put to bed last year I don't think people were far wrong. We actually got better results against the rest of the bottom seven in the PL last season than we did against the rest of the top seven in the Championship the previous two seasons: 17/18 Villa vs Champ Top 7 - Played 12 Won 5 Drawn 3 Lost 4 AVG: 1.5 18/19 Villa vs Champ Top 7 - Played 12 Won 4 Drawn 3 Lost 5 AVG: 1.25 19/20 Villa vs PL Bottom 7 - Played 12 Won 5 Drawn 4 Lost 3 AVG: 1.58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
