Saint Garrett

Maybe we should go to the Dragons Den and ask for some investment.

If we had "Roy Keane" - I assume you're talking about in his day, rather than now....do you think we could have signed Roy Keane from Forest or Man Utd? - of course we couldn't... JWP is a fantastic player "at our level", has grown massively as a player and an integral player in our high energy system. I have no idea why you have such a problem with JWP, it's a bit weird tbh.

If we were to lose Vestergaard for say £15-20m and bring in Saliba on loan with a £10-15m option, I'd be pretty happy with that I think.

Who has been terrible for months on end and has offered bugger all when he's come on in this tournament? DCL? maybe...shame Ings didnt make it as a fit Ings would offer more than all of them right now.

Personally think Saka and Grealish deserve to start the knockout game. Midfield still a sticking point, as don't think the Rice/Phillips combo seems to work, he doesnt want to play Bellingham, and Henderson is shite. Kane has been dreadful in all 3 games, but I don't see any other option. Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Rice Phillips Sake Grealish Sterling Kane

Feels like Villa are in disruption season…

Apart from Ramsay’s is probably £2k a week, not £70k week.

We’ve set up how we’re going to play against better opposition. Pretty dour, and shit to watch, but keep it tight and nick one, might work against better sides. Saka has to start next game. Kane dreadful again

Whats the transfer fee? £15m?

He's historically a centre back anyway, he's not naturally a right back. He needs to play. Clearly the club have seen something in him to give him a 2 year deal, but he needs to progress while out on loan, and guess we'll have another look at him next summer. See how he progresses.

Bit like the relationship with Bournemouth IMO. Always want them to do well, but they hate us.

Absolutely, If England were out, I'd want Scotland or Wales to win it! Don't understand the rivalry tbh, but then I hate rugby

Mount has done absolutely nothing so far, I’d like to see either Foden or Grealish in for him, especially if he’s going to stick with 2 DMs. Need 4 attacking players, Atleast 1 of which who is quick,

Baffling that both Armstrong and Adams aren't first choice picks for that side anyway. They're a much better side when they are playing.

He isn't a "RB" as such, and he's played more games at LB for Utd than RB. He can play both, His contract is up at the end of the season too. although they have an option of another year.

I'd be happy with him, I feel like if we could get him on a permanent deal or option / obligation to buy, he could be our full back for the next amount of years ala Bertrand when he came from Chelsea and KWP when he came from Spurs I'd have no problem with us signing him and either Firpo or Perraud, and then those 3 fighting it out for the 2 spots, and then JWP and Diallo giving us options if we get 2 injuries. I can't see us bringing in 3 full backs, unless one is very young and happy to sit on the bench, but maybe we'll keep Vokins or Valery for that 4th choice option

Would take him with an option to buy, but a difficult one. Think he'd have to be a guaranteed starter in our midfield for him to join. IMO Diallo isn't quite there yet, but couldn't see him starting in front of JWP or Romeu.

Sounds like Brighton have missed out on that Striker it looked like they were signing, gone to Fiorentina instead.

Pretty impressive forward line of Vardy, Iheanacho, Perez, Edouard and Daka...especially given they're not in champions league...

Badly managed when he arrived, and clearly a bad fit mentally, a talented player on his day, but not a good fit for the premier league. Shame he was an utter bellend, glad to get rid of him. If we have let him go for free, but got his £75k wages off the books then happy days. In reality he’s probably gone for free and we are still contributing to his wages…

Not sure what you’ve got against JWP, he’s a fantastic midfielder, and would walk into a lot of teams in this league

Given championship players and average prem players are linked with £40m moves, I’d expect JWP being a key player and captain, on a long contract and coming into his prime and a club that doesn’t want to sell…it would have to be silly money. Also, just because a player is “worth” x doesn’t mean that’s what you sell them for…

Maddison being linked with £80m move to Arsenal this morning.

Italy I think are the best unit I’ve seen, the way they break together, press without the ball, work had and create chances is impressive. Could win it for sure
