  1. Tell you what also ruins performances? Having all your **** good players poached by other teams. I’m old enough to have seen this cycle over and over again every time we have a shot at long term success. Unless we break the cycle it continues.
  2. If he goes I will 100% wish him well, as he really is a top player and it’s been a pleasure watching him. However, he is under contract. Which means that regardless of how much he want’s to go, the final decision to accept a bid rests with the board.
  3. You must see that he is a once in a generation talent for Villa, and keeping him would be a once in a generation opportunity.
  4. Even then, we’ll be getting players in on the basis of squad strength, and then selling the player that drew them there in the first place. Dressing room would be toxic.
  5. Like we did after those players left? If we act like a small time club, we’ll be a small time club. I always temper expectations because football is complex, and sometimes even with best endeavours external factors can conspire to make things difficult, but this decision is in our own hands.
  6. Then what was the point of it? We’ve made exactly the progress last year that we aspired to.
  7. 10000000% (I appreciate % do not work that way, it was a figure of speech)
  8. Who would we buy? No one of any note would come to us because we just sold our biggest asset and would be showing no ambition to progress. We’d just be a richer, mid to low prem side.
  9. Haha, yeah. Just sounds like someone trying to negotiate for no reason. Let’s face it, if you can afford 90 million, you can afford 100 million.
  10. I can see where TRO is coming from. My own thought when JT left citing that ‘he didn’t want to start the season and not finish it’ was that he might have known of something happening behind the scenes which might undermine our success this season, and by bowing out now he would keep his stock high. At the time I was thinking maybe he knew that we weren’t doing any more transfer business. Either way it’s unusual to not have another job lined up.
  11. We need to show ambition here. Losing Jack would be disastrous, not because he’s irreplaceable, but because it will send the message to quality signings that we’re small time. Offer him the farm. It’s vital we keep him for the next phase, or it will set us back years.
  12. Transfermarkt have Harry Winks transfer at a probability of 43%. First time i’ve seen that rumour on there. Bailey is currently 65%
  13. Wow, that crept up. We’d better get a shift on, there is still plenty of room for squad improvement.
  14. You got the first bit right. It is about clicks. All about clicks. Don’t buy the ‘strengthen City, undermine Villa’ thing though. Why would they care? It would be a massive transfer and generate loads of clicks. Full stop. It could be the transfer of anyone to anywhere, as long as it generates revenue.
