To add some sauce, so far this season Haaland and Kane have both individually scored more Premier League goals than our entire squad put together, whilst Ivan Toney would need just 3 goals more to match our entire squad's goal tally.

That's an hour after the window closes. All the other players be waiting in Villa Park behind the curtains with the lights off sniggering to themselves when he turns up. Then he'll realise and be, like 'aaaaaah, ya bastards, you got me' and head back to Spain. At least that's what I'd like to think is happening.

Same as transfer window as I recall. 11pm tonight.

Well at least if it happens we can all laugh at Citeh fans who have to live with a January window that involves Cancelo out to be replaced by Digne. For the record I don't think Digne is that bad, but he's not Man City aspirational good.

Yeah, I can't wait for this window to end. It's driving me round the bend.
-
Indeed.

That's fine, and I'm happy to have a friendly debate with you on this, we're all Villa fans. It's just that when you say that you think I'm frustrated about the business we've done this window because we're not keeping up with the Jones's, or spending money for the sake of it, then it makes me think you don't understand where I'm coming from. At all. I'm happy to have a differing opinion from you, no problem. That is what debate is all about. Edit. My job is also Risk Management, so we have something in common there.

I would love him back in the squad in Feb if we can.

Point 1- cleared sub-par players. Fine. Point 2- Replaced our Knackered Striker with a hot young prospect. Look if you cant see why we might not want to put all our eggs in one basket, then I really can't explain it any further. I'm not sure if you freewheel through life without any cares, but for most people having some sort of contingency against bad things occurring is prudent. More than prudent, necessary in most walks of life and in most jobs. Point 3- Upgraded left back- Fine. Point 4- kept our decent players- fine. I know you are trying to bury the rotten apple in amongst the gold here, and I'm not asking for you to agree with me or anyone else with my view. Honestly I couldn't give a toss. But I do expect you to at least understand where we are coming from, in the same way as I understand where you are coming from, but don't agree about what levels of risk are responsible. And this is something i've not seen in a single one of your posts.

Seriously, though, that is such a misrepresentation of why people were and are concerned about this transfer window. Reductive nonsense.

As a riposte if with Ings, that's 30.4% of our total goals scored.

Can't say I'm still overly thrilled with not getting another striker in, but assuming we can get Bertie fit again, then at least we have some forward cover, and a crazy dervish of unpredictability to come off the bench. I think in a sea of Gerrard mismanagement loaning him out was amongst the more baffling decisions at the time, as he could still have done a job for us creatively. I just hope he's the same player he was before the Turkish delight and knee injuries.

I think if Digne goes to Man City, it shows that Pep is off the wagon.

Damnit. Jinx.

Young.

Is it weird that I can't tell if he's wearing a seat belt, or whether it is part of his shirt?

You know that, and I know that.

Well..sh*t.

Transfermarkt has his injury as 'unknown'. Very mysterious.
-
Oh yeah, is this what was being discussed, come back here for treatment? I would really like to know the extent of this injury now.
-
There was a 5-0 against Swindon in the PL around this time? That was a fun one, too.

Good. He's not the answer long term, but he's something.
