The original guy also knew mostly incomings because of the medicals, he didn't speculate otherwise. He never claimed many outgoings. His way of posting is different too. We shall see won’t we.

Totally agree, it’s the only account I have alerts turned on for. No need to bother with Percy at the Torygraph or talksh*te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clause is in our contract with Man City to buy him, not our contract with Luiz. How would a new contract for Luiz remove a clause that was in our contract with Man City? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Inspiration Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I’d guess the big news is an England call up for the nations league games in September. They probably need to announce it earlier than usual to get them in a two week “bubble” I’d imagine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 This guy Jones is an Arsenal fan and seems an excited little bunny right now. Maybe he's going to break the news that Arsenal have made an official £80m bid for Jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The only "Huge news" re Grealish if not contract related I can think off would be that he's off, or we've had a big offer. As I'm assuming if it were related to him staying it would go hand in hand with a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I think cus we've had so little actual 'news', in a window we were all massively excited about since staying up, means we will cling on to any bit of info, whether its bs or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 3 hours ago, Pimlico_Villa said: It is a shame because with the FFP relief next season this is a rare opportunity for us to benefit from our backers, but this window will be much more subdued than what everyone is hoping for, solely because we cannot attract the type of player that we need to improve. We so desperately need a proper striker and a set of wingers, but in reality we are just not going to be able to tempt the calibre of player we need to really kick on, so it is going to be marginal, more incremental progress at best. Agreed. Mid table consolidation this season, then kick on a little further each season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted August 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2020 6 hours ago, TrentVilla said: I’ve not seen him play but I just don’t think the point re Cahill is justified given Cahill had proven himself capable in the PL and whatever his potential he hasn’t yet made an appearance. Commenting on potential, or lack thereof, without having seen someone play? So you base your opinion 9n what, that he hasn't got as much potential? Having been a goalkeeper, and goalkeeping coach in the past, and having seen Sarkic for our u23 and during his loan spells, i can safely say the lad has significant potential. You say Cahill was proven at )L level, but the villa coaching staff at the time felt he wasn't ready for a team competing in the top half, so you think your judgement of his readiness is superior to the villa coaching staff at the time? In hindsight perhaps, but hindsight is 20-20. Fact is, Cahill struggled for large parts of his villa career, and was let ho because he wasn't good enough to be on our bench most of the time. Sarkic probably isn't quite ready for the PL yet, but as goalies go, hes still an infant. I'd still say he is at least 9n par, ability wise, with Steer and Nyland, and only game time will see him progress. I'd have much rather we played Sarkic than Reina, think it would have done him the world of good, but any chance of that went when he refused to sign a new contract after being recalled, and then effectively replaced by Reina. Can't recall Reina making any saves that Sarkic wouldn't have made, and its not as though Reina made no mistakes. Whilst I am sure he had a massive impact in the dressing room, his performances on the pitch were bang average at best, and I believe blooding a good prospect would have served us better in the long run. Don't fool yourself into thinking the staff at Villa didn't rate him, because he left. There were attempts by the club to sign him on an extended contract into may/june, but the player felt badly treated and refused, and I back him in that. Should never have been recalled.l, and had he not been, i'd wager he'd still be a villa player today. The situation was handled poorly by the club, we've lost a talent, and i hope its not on a level with Cahill in 4/5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted August 17, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 Aston Villa will make their first signing by Friday at 12pm. The signing is in the final stages and will be announced Friday at the latest. Still a price with the selling club to be agreed, which could scupper the deal. And personal terms with the player haven't been agreed yet, so there's every chance it could fall down there too. But if all that goes to plan, then we'll have a signing by Friday. But of course it might not go to plan in which case we won't. #StevoITK 8 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
