I would pay the £12m for Snoddy, because at least we know what we're getting.
£12m a "bargain price"! Really ?
Isn't he in his 30's now ?
Don't get me wrong he's been great but would it be an astute investment?
The Grealish thing got me thinking about what if.
I wonder how much loyalty the lad has to the club.
If we don't go up, I'd expect the bigger fish to pick us clean of whatever talent we have. Depressing.
Regardless of what happens now , I've had more enjoyment out of this season than any other since the MON halcyon days
If we do stay in the championship we have a few loanees that could come back to help out Ritchie De latt at right back for instance never felt we got a good look at him over a run of games due to injury. Maybe Gollini has grown up enough to come back and compete in goal. As we may need the numbers and have little to spend even Carlos Gill might do a job as a squad member. No I do not want to stop the youngsters coming through but we stand to lose an awful lot of players end of season,and these guys are still on the books.
Exactly. I've loved this season.
And whatever anyone says about MON, I was never happier as a football fan than under his tenure.
People just analyse and criticise down to the nth degree too much these days. I didn't like that team selection, that substitution was wrong blah blah.... I just prefer to look at the bigger picture. Is supporting Aston Villa fun, and under Bruce it has been for me for the majority and it most certainly was under MON.
6 starts 1 sub.It was only a few days ago I saw somewhere a report that De Laet is struggling to get a game at Antwerp......
Thank god for that. The way most seem to talk about the MON days I thought I was some sort of weirdo for really loving it under him.
Despise him for the way he left but in those days we were beating blues and the baggies regularly, beating Ajax, winning at Old Trafford, The Emirates, WHL. I loved it.
