Makes perfect sense to me. They got promoted, lost a load of players due to loans ending or contracts ending. Signed some (a lot) of players on relatively short team deals in the Premier League who could also do a job in the Championship if they went down. They didn't, so now push on with "better" recruitment whilst the short term deals come to an end. At the end of this season, Hennessey, Horvath, Worrall, Felipe, Aurier, McKenna, Boly, Aina, Kouyate and Wood will all be out of contract. That's the remaining Championship-era deadwood being shifted and it's essentially already replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve have 4 keepers and 5 right backs the balance of that squad for a team not in Europe is bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 It seemed fine business until the 7/8 deadline day signings Its overkill and not really inspiring transfers. Origi ffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 They stayed up last year They're 9th today with 2 wins in 4 games including yesterday's win away to chelsea, I think they'll be fine as there's some proper shit down the bottom What they're doing is funny and bizarre...

Villatillidie95 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Origi is terrible, it spoke volumes that he was content to play single figure games for Liverpool every season and only left as he was finally forced out I think when his contract ended. 28 and a half years old and not even made 250 appearances….no way he should be a starting prem forward, I suppose he could do a job as a super sub maybe Edited September 3, 2023 by Villatillidie95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happened, they'd be fine. If they survived, they could try and push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Credit to Joe Worrall btw, mentioned it on MOTD but he played after his uncle died on Tuesday after "the incident in Newark" I presume that was the person trying to stop someone getting hit by a passing train and they were the ones who got struck themselves and ultimately lost his life. Also assume he got the red card at Man. United overturned unless the suspension was for the league cup game? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Big Dean Smith vibes from Cooper- what a humble decent bloke. If I hadn't gone Villa as a 10 year old I'd have gone Forest. Hope they stay up and kick on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't gone Villa as a 10 year old I'd have gone Forest. Hope they stay up and kick on. A lot of fans round this way wanted him gone last season. "Nice bloke, but he's not changing things" type vibes. Obviously, they stayed up, he stayed on and they've enjoyed a decent start to the season - everyone now happy with him again . It's the ridiculousness of the Premier League (or football, really) - what are Forest (and most clubs) really in it for? Survival to whatever extent and a decent cup run? In any case, as I've said elsewhere, that attacking trio (Elanga, Gibbs-White and Awoniyi) will cause teams plenty of problems this season. I predicted they'd finish 15th but, actually, could see them doing a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
