Aguero hadn’t played in the Premier league before Man City signed him so I don’t understand your point. My comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek as it was really anti Sturridge as opposed to pro Maupay. Sturridge is a man made of glass, with nothing to prove and will be significantly overpaid. He is the exact opposite of our clearly stated transfer policy and that’s without even trying to imagine (chortle) him working his backside off trying to press defenders. According to whoscored.com, since 2014/2015 he has scored the grand total of 24 goals for Liverpool and West Brom. I’d therefore contest that he doesn’t even particularly know where the goal is. Realistically, Maupay would be £20m and I’d have him in a heartbeat as he’s bound to work hard and score goals given the opportunity. It’s open to question how many he will score but it’s guaranteed to be a damn lot more than Daniel “where’s my dog?” Sturridge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Carroll is apparently also on the way, what a potent treatment bench they would have! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity? leao, never heard of him, sounds exciting but don’t know why we think he wouldn’t sign for us... I think any comparison to Leicester that season is utterly pointless, just like comparisons some make to Alex Ferguson when talking about patience with managers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing the point of the comparison. If a relegation fodder team can win the premier league, then why can’t villa finish in a decent position, for all intents and purposes Leicester won the league because of team work and high morale, something I see in abundance at Villa in the last 6 months. So to re-iterate... not saying we will do Leicester and win the league, just that with team work and morale on your side a high position is certainly attainable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team who played more than one season together, they wernt just all purchased in 1 window and worked hard and won the league. They played as a team for a good year or 2 together or the majority of them did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it was just team work and morale. Part of it was they were able to sign top class players before the rest of the world realised. Mahrez, Vardy and Kante were amazing that season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamwork and morale are the foundations of any team's success. Without that as a starting point, only the Man Cities of this world could afford to build a team capable of competing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. I get the click bait stuff. Nebulous unverifiable comments like ‘we’re considering a bid for’ or ‘villa are turning to so and so’, but reporting an actual event that didn’t happen like a meeting, could they not get done by the pcc for that? That’s demonstrably false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
