Vive_La_Villa Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 29 minutes ago, Delphinho123 said: Why do I keep hearing this nonsense line pedalled out about Gerrard ‘having a look at [insert name here] in pre-season’ before deciding whether to sign another player. Ive seen it used for Luiz, Sanson, Traore amongst others now. The only players he’ll be looking at in pre-season will be the youngsters before deciding whether they should go out on loan again - notably Archer. He’ll know whether players like Sanson and Luiz fit into the long term plan and whether they’re good enough by now. Or at least he should do. It’s really poor journalism. As i said before if you’re going to make shit up. It should at least make sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really cannot see us getting 60 points, lets take off our Villa Glasses for a minute i really cant see us getting anything from Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs. Arsenal or Utd ( we have to play vs 12 men ) - expecting no more that 5 points off these teams, same as we got last season!! We might get something vs West ham and Leicester but not 12 points - West ham did the double over us last season scoring 6 goals over 2 games! 4 points Newcastle and Wolves will probably S**house wins - Wolves did the double over us last season (the game we threw the game away losing 3-2 still hurts!!) 6 points Brentford - who have a bloody hoodoo on us! would expect 6 points but we only got 1 point last season! 4 points Palace - 3 points last season - 3 points Southampton - should be getting 6 points here but only managed 3 last season - 3 points Brighton - should be 6 but only managed 4 - 6 points Leeds - 4 last season - would hope for 6 but can see them S***house a win or draw. 4 points Everton - 6 points last season - 6 points Then the 3 teams that came up - Forest - should be 6 - probably be 3 Fulham - again should be 6 but can see 4 points Bournemouth - 1st day loss for us - 3 points So that is the grand total of - 51 points. Yeah agree with opening statement and the table shows that to be the case, yeah like yourself definitely cant see 60 pts unless we sign two high profile ballers that can produce magic, yeah i cant see us getting more than 4 pts against the top 4 next season, i want to go into the season saying we will get 8 pts against them but we are not at that level yet. Seeing Newcastle surpass us really gets into my skin because i know they may get to that stage where they take off Edited July 5, 2022 by RicRic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can, then we really need to get Archer out on loan and sell whichever of Watkins or Ings least fits how Gerrard wants to set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I notice that Ashley Young, Feeney, and Wilson are all signed to CAA Base and they all sign deals with us in the last 24 hours. Trezeguet also signed with them his deal was finalized in the last few days too. Going by that I wonder if Davis, also signed with CAA Base is next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurt at the time as he was my hero and true never really forgotten the utter utter bastard, my Dad wanted to cave his head in and I wish he had so I could have spat on him lying in a pool of his own blood, cross me once you cross me for life Mr Gray has a history of being a rude and arrogant so & so. I too will never forget the day he was our assistant manager and we played at Aggborough (Kidderminster Harriers ground) in a pre season "Friendly". Before the game had even started during the warm up he came out and was just stood doing nothing really. A young fan aged about 7 or 8 politely asked him to sign his programme & he just bluntly told him to "FO". the kid was distraught. No doubt ruined his day. I was ashamed to be honest as a Villa fan. It wasn't as though he was being constantly harrased by loads of people it was just one kid! Shame on the guy. What an a-hole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just occasionally tweets about what he's heard. He doesn't do the typical attention seeking maneuvers the fake ITKs do, or try to break news.

Ideally all signings would be made before pre-season but history shows clubs go mental at the end of the window! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is thats his job. Theres no money these days in papers so he is paid to get people to click . He is sold by Birmingham Live as their Villa man , and as long as he wants to pay his mortgage and feed himself and his family thats what will continue to happen. Look at really good journalists like Matt Kendrick who now have to do Aston Villa quizzes on Youtube to see how things have changed for all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
