(After which you guys did dominate, granted) Yes. But he's absolutely in the top few CBs in the Championship. *Waves* You guys really do need to get over that disallowed goal and that penalty. The referee is always right, his decision is final, the game has gone and so have we (up to the PL). I spoke to a Bristol City fan outside the ground after the game, who was still incandescent with rage about those two decisions as well. Your manager made it clear that he felt much the same in his post match interview. It is now time to focus on the slings and arrows that the coming season has in store..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 So, hopefully in the not too distant future we will see the following... GK - Butland CB - Mings CB - Webster LB - ???? (Hopeful for Targett) DM - ???? (Would quite like us to sign both Phillips and loan in Ampadu as well). RW - ???? (Hopeful for Benrahma) ST - ???? (Won't happen but ideally Maupay) Pretty much all Championship players, but they are all very good so should easily be able to make the step up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I don't think we will announce any new signings until Deano is back off holiday and has a nice tan ready for all the interviews and promo shots with his new players. Therefore, I predict our next announcement will be next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 27, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2019 It is good to see the disappointment of yesterday handled with humour, we are all craving new arrivals so the lack of a promised one yesterday could easily have been greeted differently. I was very very fortunate for an extended period of time to get unbelievable information from someone who was directly involved in our dealings. It taught me two things, that the press in the main literally haven't a clue what is going on. Some of what they write is accurate, in that I can think of examples where we will have enquired about a player, one of a number for a position. The press report it, then they run on and on with it making up all kinds of things about the deal being close, stalling for x or y reason or failing because of z. I can think of plenty of examples of this where I'd ask the contact I had and they would dismiss them out of hand. That is the media, it is what they do. They get a sniff of something from a club, player or agent and they make the rest up, sometimes they just make it up entirely. The other thing it taught me is that even when you are getting something from someone as close to things as it is possible to be, things change. We saw it last summer with Joe Bryan, that sort of thing happens all the time okay perhaps not as dramatically but it happens all the time. A deal is agreed and set to be signed only for a club or agent to ask for more, move the goal posts etc. I can't imagine how hard it must be trying to get deals done. These days info coming out of VP is far far far harder to come by, there are still snippets but not the stream there once was which is perhaps an indication of the improvements in how we are run, frustrating as that might be at times. Cynicism of ITK especially on Twitter is wise, most is utter fantasy but some can be genuine or at least it was genuine at the point it was heard but unless you have a very direct in then your info is never going to remain current. Look at the well placed people calling Butland as "done" almost 2 weeks ago now, it is never done until its signed and even then there can be a surprise or two as those who remember David Unsworth can testify. So don't burn Delphinio on a cross just yet his username is punishment enough. Right now our squad looks threadbare, so much so that anyone rocking up early for the kit launch should take their boots but I've complete faith in those running the club at all levels. We will be negotiating with multiple clubs and agents, a number of deals will be close and the much needed new signings will arrive and probably very soon. It is though only a month ago today that we triumphed at Wembley, a month isn't a lot of time. Yet we've done good business in terms of the players we've moved on and those we've recruited so far. So have faith in Smith, Suso and Purslow and ignore the press!! We've come a long way in a month, in another month I think our team/squad will look very different. 40 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be signing proven quality players that will keep us up this season, then we can focus on picking up the up and comers. Its imperative we create a squad that will survive this season, not a squad of what ifs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Well what a great day today will be... I can see some blue sky... summer might just be arriving. I'm not too down about missing out on a Wednesday announcement at the Villa. In other news, there was a Wednesday announcement for the Royal International Air Tattoo though... Turkish F4 Phantoms!! Two in the static... woo-hoo!! Anyway... back to the Villa transfers... happiness is just around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is a microcosm of humanity, and how to go from zero to letting people hang on a cross and be effectively tortured, then slowly roasted to death once the requisite amount of pain is caused.......in literally 1.5 days.

jacketspuds Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 You couldn't find anyone less ITK than me, but I just have a feeling that we will sign someone today. Knowing my ability to read a situation, and my gut feeling, we'll probably go out of business instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
