Sorry to be boring but has to be Bobby's goal in 76. Nothing else has ever (or probably will ever) come close.

Kane is 21, there's an obvious reason why he has improved, Gradel will be 28 this year.

Well, if you hadn't omitted part of what I said from the quote you might not have such a problem understanding, t**t

Odd that he suddenly scored a lot last season, when the previous 3 seasons he managed 6, 3 and 5 respectively. Maybe he would be good, as I said probably a better bet that Elia.

So its between us and Boscombe. Given he used to play for them, I would guess they might be favourites. 7m is a bit of a stretch, better than Elia, who knows.

Source? Must admit seems unlikely, and not particularly exciting prospect though he has done reasonably well at St Etienne. Would help the HG quota for PL and EL (home trained as well).

When you said televised I thought you meant on real television. BT Sport FFS.

Nah, car is too clean. Also Minis have rust.

lol at the person who thinks Dani would.not be any trouble.

Would be odd, another 2 months wages just to have the tosser kicking about, causing trouble.

Surely no-one seriously believed that did they? I can only guess you must mean the bright spark(s) who could not tell the difference between Osvaldo and Gazza.

Short and to the point, no details. He's gone.

This may be true, in principle, but Toby still has to agree to join any club that bids for him. In the end it is still his decision based on the options available.

Yes, its better, they removed the brown paper bags from his trouser pocket, cured the limp.

Europa League qualifying kicked off today with 3 games, including Shamrock Rovers (drew 0-0) Estonian Cup Round of 64 saw Paide beat JK RTT by 31-0.

Hope we don't let him go for a song.

One more Cat A game (surprise surprise Boscombe is Cat A), one less Cat B. Otherwise the same.

Oh good, our little Villa supporter has returned. See happens every season, last home game of season, Cat A. Not just something to **** you off, though clearly it has.

True, otherwise they would fall over.

This thread ia supposed to be about who will travel to Austria. It seems pretty clear to me that just about anyone who was in the training video yesterday will be involved, with the probably exception of Morgan, of course. Koeman said quite clearly that none of the players coming back next week will be involved. So no point talking about Stephens for the purposes of this thread, as he is not back yet. Turnbull is back, and as the only available CB is nailed on to be involved, I would think. Stephens though is probably more highly rated than Turnbull, guess one of them might be 4th choice if we don't resign Toby. Its going to be a strange team playing Austria with so few current first teamers actually available.

Maybe 'Arry will hear the word bung and tip the wink to our friends down the road at Boscombe.

Not to mention Shaw is a lefty while Clyne is only a right footer. Makes a difference you know, premium paid for lefties.

Apart from the small issues that without Morgan and as Stephens still counts as U21 for this coming season (cut off is 1 Jan) then we only have 19 players that we can register for the squad. Sure, otherwise we are in great shape Doubt that Mayuka will still be here come September, although to be fair you have also missed Gaston (and Osvaldo) from your list. I think its right, but still have a doubt about Shane Long being HG. He joined Reading from Cork in June 2005, when he was 18 years and 5 months (nearly), but the criteria says to be HG they need to spend 3 full years before they are 21. But there are some woolly words about being in the season after they turn 21, so it is probably OK, but no doubt he is a "borderline" case.

I think the point is that if we replace Morgan with Clasie AND Gueye, as was reported yesterday then you could argue that the squad will be stronger. Of course neither individually is as good as Morgan, but if we bring in both, that's a different matter.

Probably still on a flight back from Uruguay, they always seem to get delayed or something.
