Agreed, think Austin would do a better job all in all. I really like Ings but for me we already have Jay Rod and to the lesser extent Long to fulfill the role he would potentially play. I think Austin would be a good fit and likley achievable.

All of those players have a more expansive game to Hernandez and none of them are what I would class as a player that sits on the last man. We dont need that sort of player, we need a player like pellè but with a but more composure in front of goal

Nor do I, he is right up there in my list of players of the season for me. Could easily go to a top four team IMO

It all makes you wonder whats being said behind the scenes, this has all the hallmarks of a player that sees his future elsewhere but with the club thinking otherwise for me. I imagine its all come to a head, hence why he was dropped on Saturday. Hopefully it'll be sorted quickly because, as good as Alderweireld is he just doesnt possess the attacking flair of Clyne. I am reserved to losing Clyne this summer to be honest, but aslong as we get a good fee and replace with a goid attacking full back then Im all for it. Its a shame Spurs pocketed Yedlin after the world cup tbh as I think that kid could be mustard.

Montoya, Van der Viel, Byram, Trippier, richards (unconvinced) There are plenty of options out there, if he wants to move on so be it, its been great watching his rise but we just arent big enough to offer what he wants. Offer him a decent contract offer, give him until the end of the season. If he isnt interested then move him on, 20m or so should do it

This

I genuinely have no idea what point you're attempting to make here

Whats your point ? He is on circa 30-40k at Villa

As a club we wont willingly lose 4-6 first team players again, its basically suicide. We got away with it this year, in fact we have done an incredible job this year, but we would struggle to replicate this summers transfer 'policy' (term used loosely) ever again. That said we dont know what the situation will be with Vic, in fact you could argue we might aswell sell all of our assets with declining contract status (which is pedantically the whole squad) but we wont. Id be amazed if we arent trying to habd out some bigger contracts right now, hence our lack of any meaningful activity this january.

I dont

Cheers bear, nice to know someone believes in me

I really enjoyed it, takes a couple of episodes to get into but its up there with Walking dead and Thrones for me What was everyones thoughts on Breaking Bad out of interest ? Personally I thought it was decent but I didnt see it as the untouchable series that it was made out to be. Both Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are better IMO

I like the idea of pushing toby up to play alongside Morgan, and keeping a defence of Yoshi and Fonte to be honest. I just hope Yoshi can cope with Stokes physicality and the no doubt aimed passing to Crouchies head. ------------Davis----------- Clyne Fonte Yoshi Bertrand -Schneiderlin -Alderweireld- Long -------JWP------Mane -------------Pellè-----------

Drove a Porsche 911, Lambo Gallardo, Audi R8 and an Aston Vanquish. Great day, really enjoyed it. No real advice to give really except that as much as they are just making more money out of you take up the excess waiver as its around 2k excess as standard. Drive you're least favourite first as you'll get used to the track as you go. The RWD are difficult if you arent used to them, I thought I was going to kill myself in the porsche as the turbo kicked in as I hit the corner but the Lambo was a beast. It was going into it my least favourite but what a car, its like its glued to the track.

You still dont have a relevant response then ?! Oh well As per Michu he has been at Napoli and done reletively sod all. Last year he was perhaps what we wanted but Im not sure now. I think we could do better. Shelvey ? Yeah Id take shelvey, liked him since he destroyed us as a 16/17 yr old for charlton

Have a day off

Good start to the series, I dont think Ill watch the leaked episodes, think Ill wait and watch them week to week, that way, since Walking Deads finished, I get something to look forward too. That said I do much prefer the Netflix model, as bearsy says, I get to sit and watch Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy etc to my hearts content. As for GoT, its good, its super good, but having read the books there is certainly something missing. I dont look forward to it as much as I do Walking Dead, because I know what happens I think. Its going to be interesting to see what happens at the end of this series however considering this is effectively the current most recent book in effect and Winds of Winter is apparantly not due till next year.

Whens the home leg

So thats it then ? You have no actual arguement to make ? Ill be glad when easters over...

Where is this being played ?

Theres a difference between this little arguement and believing that we wouldnt go about reconstructing the squad again ? Im sorry but if you seriously believe this years transfer model would in any way be consistantly successful then you are a fool. We will not willingly sell 5-6 first team players again, we got away with it this year. But if we try it again it wont be anywhere near so successful. So no, its not really anythig like it is it ?

You know what people meant, you are just looking for an arguement and being a pedantic prat

Its not the way we play, we play with effectively 2 transitional midfielders, one of which sits in when the team is on the attacking transition to allow for the fullbacks to push on. We then play with a flexible bank of three that narrow and support a front man that comes deep to support play and arrive late. A 'clinical' finisher such as Hernandez will just upset the way we play. For now atleast I dont think we can accomodate him. And besides I think we will be going backwards. There is a reason none of the top 6 play with a striker like that.
