I would like to give Bailey a chance first. He has hardly played for us. He has tons of pace and if we can see more of the Bailey we saw for 20 mins against Everton I think I would prefer our Jamaican to ASM
I agree. The fans would have gone mad. They wanted Conte or similar but they think they are competing with Man City when they are actually competing with the likes of the baggies. It will take them quite a few years to get this right. It will be entertaining watching the cock ups unfold. No doubt the will sack Howe in the next 12 months and start the merry go round again
They should have paid Burnley whatever compensation they wanted to get Dyche to keep them up this season and get them to finish 16th next season. The given him a 10m payoff and employed an elite manager.
The key thing and something that many fans don't go along with. Every single person at Villa is dispensable if we identify and recruit a superior replacement.
I would suspect the buy back clause with City influenced us not to offer a new contract until that had expired, which it did last May. Then he was off at the Copa and the Olympics and then holidays. By the time he was back we had a lot of other things at Villa to worry about. I would expect to see contract discussions in the new year and if he doesn't sign then we will hopefully be able to move him on
It depends on how you are viewing profit. If u are looking at a profit from an FFP perspective then we would make a healthy profit as we will have amortised 75% of his transfer fee by next summer. That means any sale fee above about 3.8m will be profit
Also, if we buy a European based player that is not vaccinated they would have to do 2 weeks isolation before joining in training etc. Not exactly the start we would want from a Jan signing
I agree, but could u elaborate on how long it will take? Is next season too soon or do we have to wait till the following season. Exciting times ahead. I am loving what I am seeing happen to our team
That was the first game in a very long time that I wasn't hiding behind the sofa afraid to watch the TV when we were 1-0 up entering the last 15 mins. Normally I expect us to concede but last night we never looked like dropping points. Great result and some great individual performances but still work to do. So far the turnaround has been remarkable
