Villarocker

It's OK Ray, you can calm down mate. I'm sure his wife will take care of that for you.

Aha a new theory evolves....

Basstard, you beat me to it

A Uruguayan you say? Get Luis Suarez in, at least he will give us some bite up front

He's gotta be going somewhere for Celtic to leave him out of their squad. Wouldn't surprise me if a deal was done for him with someone in the next 48 hours.

It's a strange one though mate. I mean, considering we stayed up by the skin of our teeth you'd think we would be wanting to get players in very early to give them every chance of hitting the ground running. Maybe, Suso was given the remit of lining up players for both outcomes and those that he came up with for staying up were simply not deemed good enough to push us forward? Hence, they parted ways and brought in Lange. Maybe he has been given the remit of what is required and he's in the throes of delivering such requirements.

I hope he doesn't join too I mean, who wants a star player if it means we have to experience the odd page or three of fish puns and his online activities being debated on a fan forum page.

That parts quicker and bigger than the Villa defence did before lockdown.

Can we please leave the fish puns alone, it's getting pasta joke now.

If possible, I'd be happy with this lot: Dumfries - £15m (RB & RCB cover) Benrahma - £25m (LAM) Skov - £12m (RAM) Edouard - £30m (ST) Spend the remaining £18m on whoever else is needed but I'd be happy those to start with.

I wish we would sign this beast Reminds me of Freddie Bouma

I can't help but feel that Johan Lange is going to have a couple of names that he thinks can bolster our squad and out of those sold by Copenhagen in recent years the two that stand out for me are: Robin Olsen - 30yo 'Keeper who they sold to Roma and now plays at Cagliari. He is Sweden's no.1 and would cost less than £10m. Robert Skov - 24yo midfielder who can play left or right side of midfield and has even played at left back. They sold him to Hoffenheim for £9m last summer so should be able to get him for less than £15m. If they've got anything about them that's better than what we have now I can see Lange trying to bring them here. If they could be bought for a combined £20m would folks be happy?

If we want him we need to go to Celtic and tell them straight. We will give you £30m plus a player with a choice of Hogan for free full-time or Davis, Hogan or Lansbury on loan for the whole of the season with us paying half their wages. Take it or leave it.

You can only conclude that Jack plays the game in a different style to what Southgate wants him team to play - the dinosaur.

Southgate is an absolute c*#t for not picking Grealish. He must be the only Englishman who knows anything about football that wouldn't pick him. What a prize tw@t.

Fair play to you Nick76. That last post really was the dogs bollox

I bet that Selassie fella can run all game.

Villa fan you say? Judging you purely by your username I thought you were a confused Manc

No messing about now. Someone needs to show the word removed this and then ask him who the bigger team is:

It does seem that way, it didn't take long for Louie Barry to come back home. I guess they've told Harrison he can pretty much get who he wants so the pressure is on him to deliver the right players. He must be loving that job right now.

Totally agree mate. It seems they've really got an eye for youth players they think have talent and hope to make into much better footballers. It will be interesting to see how many of them make the step up to the first team in 4 or 5 years' time.

I just realised that is actually Troy Deeney's face!

If those four were our front four, imagine all the excitement they would give us fans with the tricks and skills they possess? I wonder what the record is for the amount of nutmegs done by a team in a season?

Ruben Shakpoke scored 11 goals in a game against Watford. No mean feat at any level, that.

It could be worse you say? I'll take your Arsenal bloody zombie veiny thing and trump it with these LGBT somewhere over the rainbow friendly beauties from Bristol way....
