They didn't nearly achieve it. And the team in question was Chelsea, who finished 3rd. Suggesting we'll be competing with Chelsea is just nonsense really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we'll compete with Chelsea is if they have a disaster of a season. There's a difference between optimism and being unrealistic.

Tomaszk Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'm so bleeding excited about the new season but it feels like we're behind if we're going to have a full squad when we head to America. What do we need...another seven signings absolute minimum. Blimey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between optimism and being unrealistic. and even then, just like Leicester the balance will be swiftly restored. Football is a closed shop now. FFP has seen to that.

PieFacE Posted June 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yeah we've still got so much to do. It's quite daunting really. We haven't really got time to wait and play hard ball to try and get deals cheaper as the window comes to end. Need players in asap to gel.

Guest av1 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 @sir_gary_cahill is absolutely not a troll. Overly optimistic with a strange opinion of bog standard youth players, yes. But not certainly not a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather see Lolley join us than Benrahma, Maupay is who id want to see from brentford. I’d love to see both Brentford boys here. I think Lolley will be super expensive too. Mad prices this window, better get used to it or look abroad for better value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I reckon there will be 2 signings announced this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Looks like Valentin Rongier will head to Marseilles, would have been a cheaper Phillips option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not untouchable just because they’re part of the ‘big six’ Their lowest finish in 20 seasons is 10th which happened in the 15/16 season. Every other season bar that one they have finished 6th or higher. They are untouchable, they are very much one of the big six and that is unlikely to change even with a transfer ban.

alreadyexists Posted June 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2019 The Italy v Spain U21 game is on and there’s some fantastic talent on display there. If I was a scout I’d be making a list and handing it to Suso. The quality on display is mind boggling for such young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I would take 17th and a league cup and fa cup win, you don't get anything for finishing second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire @sir_gary_cahill he is passionate and enthusiastic in my view one of the most passionate Villa Talk members you will find on here and he's a good lad! He gets lot of unfair flack when it's just his opinion. He knows his stuff too. As Harry Redknapp said to that fan oiver Scott Canham re: Lampard in 1997 "Football is all about opinions and you are entitled to your opinion i respect that as i'm entitled to mine" and SGC is well entitled to his! I don't always myself agree with SGC's comments but i respect his opinion all time and he is entitled to his opinion and other posters should be respectful to that!!
