... as does Mara.

Beard AND hair? 😉

Don't know, but he looks to be back in light training...

Apparently its a transformer...

Nice find, cheers! However, I do not think it is likely that there would be a new contract now, from both parties (7 months atfter the last one). Probably happen when he has established his role and importance in the first team a little more in the PL. That will also give him a significant wage hike. Hopefully that will happen during this season!

Dibling and SAA have consistenly been amongst our best players in every game this pre-season... That both exites me and scares me at the same time 😄

Getting some practice for his inverted fullback role...

I agree. Slaves of the algorithm. 90-minute football games will die with our generation if we continue to abide 😄😉 Anyway, since I have a healty attention span I search out the longer version of the clips. Make sure you are on the "all" feed on the app. Do not wander on to the "men's team" feed, as it mostly has the short ones. There you will allways find both the long and the short version.

The full videos are just on the app I think.

I just don't think he exists. I know some people swear that they have seen him, but its just a hoax 😉

I have no idea, but the Loch Ness Drogba nickname is really working...

At the time I "feared" he was our option if we did not get Downes, but good call - Yeah, I agree, something like that.

What we need is a player that can play alongside Downes (as an 8), but also could cover for him. No point buying a backup.

However there was a clause in his contract guaranteeing Archer would return to Villa Park in the event of United being relegated. Sheffield United splashed out £18million last summer on the kid striker but only paid a £3million instalment on the fee up front, which has been retained by Villa, effectively as a loan fee. It means the Blades will not have to shell out the remaining £15million for Archer, who has become a Villa player again. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29152809/aston-villa-transfer-cameron-archer-sheffield-united/

Agree, and to me it looks like Spain has several players moving off the ball and known patterns of play, while England is waiting for a moment of brilliance amd only one movement at the time.

Front foot? Hello!

I wish we were Norwich... no, I mean Ipswich...

I agree, and we have been successful renewing contracts early in the past, with McCarthy, for instance…

Glass half full: this is as backup Glass half empty: there is no such thing as a glass half full

Good for him, as his career is in danger of stalling. Same challenge, year after year... about time!

Hmm... can't seem to remember much of him playing for us. Better look up some videos on Youtube to refresh my memory...

Careful what you wish for... I'd say keep busy posting on here and leave the signing to others 😉

We also signed Boruc on a free right after the window slammed shut I think? GK is the most important signing for me (maybe except Downes). If we can get the keeper situation right, I will sleep a little better 😴
