Got them all done early (ish) in the window. For me, the squad is far stronger as a whole than before the window. agree But with the season now started and not despite not all of them fit and firing yet I think there's an element of what have you done for me lately The likes of West Ham spending money at the end of the window whereas we look done will make people forget our spending I think one more at the end of the window will keep people happy, DMC preferably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is some will then use this expectation to turn on the manager whereas others, whilst having high expectations will also be realistic about the challenge. Do you have to bring your defence of Smith into every topic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I was going to suggest Maitland Niles as per his Instagram earlier but seems he’s off to Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't nail down a place for them, bit if jack of all trades about him, from the little I saw he was just OK at baggies (albeit they were shit) Even if we got him here we'd be celebrating getting cover at RB and CM rather than a starter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolta Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Smith said when Jack left that we were eighteen months away from where we needed to be. He comes across as living in a dreamland at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 We do need that DM, but with everyone back we can see where we really are. I said earlier squad looks no worst than what Wet Spam have, an they seem to be doing okay, so time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we shouldn't have these demands. So in that case Smith shouldn't be heavily criticised if we aren't in those European spots. I'm glad we are on the same page for once.

It is reported that we have budget for a DM in this window and no budget for any other position. Let's hope for an exciting day tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 57 minutes ago, est1874 said: The club is over £500 million in debt. The Glaziers have taken out several large loans against it. Still ignoring the rest of my post, which was the whole point. Stop cherry picking Señor Griffin! The 500m in debt is debt used to buy the club. It is not Glazier debt put into the club. Regarding the point of outside the top 4. NSWE and other owners will get their ROI by increasing the value of their clubs. I would say AVFC is already worth more than their total investment and as we continue to improve the club will go up in value. NSWE will not be looking for a dividend from AVFC, they want the value of their asset to increase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWE and CP have told us the plan is to get the youth system to feed the 1st XI. I expect we will still have big signings but they will be complimented by promoting the youth. Louie Barry is perfect for replacing Jack and imo, he is just as good if not a better prospect than Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
