  1. Wow, what's happened to Shakira?
  2. Young English player who everyone rates highly. I'd say 45m is the highest they might go. And yeah, it would instantly make Villa a contender for Europe. Worth it, IMO.
  3. Villa have our own African fans. Proxy war!
  4. These bids are just Villa buttering them up for the 45m bid that seals the deal.
  5. Not sure about that. The club's star player is at the Euros. The social media manager will pump that up regardless.
  6. If we keep Jack and qualify for the CL, there is no looking back. We will surpass Arsenal, Spurs and Everton.
  7. If he stays on condition that we stack the side with more talent, we are in a dizzying situation. It would mean we will wrap up more major signings this summer. If he goes to City, we will have a huge windfall on which to sign three top players. Either way, the future looks really good. Naturally, I'd want him to stay and hope he does. It's exciting watching a Villa player we saw as a youth player morphing into a generational England football icon. He is making Aston Villa world famous again.
  8. Jack could conceivably take a home team discount on wages if the club promise to bring in a few more elite players.

    And they've done it without fanfare and grand declarations. Total professionals. And as an American, I'm really happy that Edens hadn't embarrassed us like Henry, Kroenke and Glazers and he's not a muppet like Lerner.
  10. I wonder what an all-time "One Club Starting XI" would look like... Maldini Totti Le Tissier Raul? Iniesta help me out, guys
  11. Is ESR signing for the LA Rams?
  12. I really wanted to like Ted Lasso. I liked the original NBC promo bits. I like the concept. But the show itself is disjointed and poorly executed. The writing is good in spots, but lacking in imagination in others, IMO. They try to make it check too many boxes instead of focusing on the funny. Missed opportunity.
  13. Surprised he's still with us and not managing in the Championship or at Crystal Palace.
  14. At the very least, we are unsettling Arsenal and driving up the price for their player. It's a win-win for Villa. At the very least we weaken the financial position of a direct competitor in the league. IMO, we are now on stronger footing than Arsenal.
  15. And he didn't really have a plan, as evidenced by the slapdash way he recruited mediocre, overpriced players that didn't blend together. The Moscow capitulation was typical O'Neill. Trying hard to be clever but failing hard. He was in some ways, the worst best manager we could have found at the time. A net loss for the club in retrospect.
  16. 50m for a player who is not quite the essential piece of the puzzle he was before is nothing to scoff at. I'd trust Lange and Co to spend the money wisely.
  17. We are in a stronger recruitment position this summer than last, so clearly Smith and Lange believe Buendia is the superior player, and that's good enough for me. Looking forward to the first Norwich game.
  18. I love the fact that this thread was started by Jack's brother.
