Villa-Revolution seems to have been a bit overzealous but this thread is a lot less embarrassment rich than the Benteke one a few weeks ago. Looks like he's getting his wish to be out of here at pace. #headloss

And how do you know this? Erm.

Most of his career? He's 21.

Well he's played well in the Championship before, I'm sure he can do so again. While I agree with the Rovers fan that it is more physical, you also get more time on the ball which is exactly what he needs to actually create something. Any more info on the fee? 750k is about what I expected but some of the seven figure sums bandied about got my hopes up.

Young is the same as Barry & Downing. Easily enough ability to add something to our squad, but horrendous value for money and their massive wages would probably piss off our current lot. Also not getting any younger.

He was piss poor. Was he? He was piss poor against Liverpool but in the grand scheme of things he wasn't piss poor. I'd go as far to say that he was no worse than Delph throughout the season. I won't go into detail but he's a creative midfielder who amassed an incredible one assist and no goals all season. In addition to failing to fulfil his primary purpose he also fairly regularly gave away possession unnecessarily, got dribbled around, failed to pressure players with the ball and seemed to take being dropped very poorly. What reason would you suggest for why Delph is seemingly integral to PL's plans and Bannan is being sold to the first bidder? Has he lost the plot or what?

Con won't want it, he's just ordered a Bannan 47 shirt.

No, I'm pretty sure he was number 25. Further proof (as if it was needed) that you've never seen him play and in fact don't have any idea who he is or what he does. For future reference:

Well Benteke is number 20 and we he was linked with a bid from spurs of ~£20m so by my calculations we can expect a bid of ~£42m for Bannan.

Racist Nuh uhh, some of my best friends are edit.

Edit - bit dark I think.

Who's better out of him and Negredo, La Liga watchers? Or at least will apart better to English football? Always confusing the two and both look to have similar records. Similar players but Negredo has a few more strings in his bow. He also seems to score more goals while playing in a weaker team.

You got any actual proof that Cisse went to a casino? Other than a picture of him there, a confirmation from his agent that he was there and a statement from the casino describing him as an "occasional visitor"? Nope, not a shred.

If we're doing films then I thought the Bourne Trilogy was garbage. Fight scenes, chase scenes, story, the lot. Awful.

Sounds like some bullshit to me. A clause where they have to tell him about the bid? He seems like a dumbass but I'm pretty sure he finds out about bids for him without the help of a contract clause. BBC sport have jumped the shark this window IMO. They are just another one of the shitty meeja now.

He'd have to learn how to control the ball, dribble the ball and pass the ball as well.

Assuming you mean mould, I don't really agree. And why would being in the Falcao mould mean he would have been AVB's first choice? I probably did mean mould, though can't decide if mode works too! I mean an out and out number 9, a man who's there to score goals and not much else, as opposed to Benteke who's a big number 9 and is there to hold up play to get his head on every clearance and will contribute more than goals, but perhaps is not quite the same poacher in the box? Ehh, I don't know if I'm being harsh but I'd say Soldado is pretty much a poacher and little else (ie. all his goals are 1 touch finishes around the 6 yard box) whereas Falcao is far more comfortable running with the ball, taking players on, shooting from distance etc. (more complete) as well as having the excellent knack of finishing off the chances his team creates. That's not to say that being worse than Falcao makes you naff but I think every team (inc. spurs) would much rather a complete player up front than a one dimensional one. In that regard, I'd say Benteke fitted the bill far better. If it is just a pure goal scorer who provides little else you're after though, we've got just the feller.

Assuming you mean mould, I don't really agree. And why would being in the Falcao mould mean he would have been AVB's first choice?

Benteke was slated to play for an hour but only managed 45 minutes.

Has anyone wheeled out the Lambert Out joke in this thread yet?

Does the same apply to you and the decisions of the Irish government? Did someone say abortion?

Has it actually begun though? Will this even happen? On the off chance it does though it is your view that everyone (people that didn't vote for this government, people who campaign against internet restrictions, people who will demonstrate against this all included) should be ashamed? If you say so.
