This lad obviously knows his stuff.
I don't know why we don't just hire all the Baggies academy staff, Their academy is actually closer to Villa Park than Bodymoor isHe was at the Albion apparently. Our coaching staff now must know him.
works better on the FFP front. Very bizarre system.Whatever their respective talents it's ironic that according to the powers be it makes more financial sense to sell one of our academy boys for 15m then sign another lad the same age for a similar fee.
Graham Taylor on Steve Bull, first touch he miscontrols, second touch, he puts it in the net. Ollie is a pain in the arse for defenders but yes l would prefer a Centre Forward with the finishing of Kane, the heading of John Charles and the left foot of Maradona. Answers on a postcard to -----.
I do normally call a spade a spade as you know. I don't have that little man on my shoulder that says "Don't say that"
We have hired all the Baggies academy staff haven't we?I don't know why we don't just hire all the Baggies academy staff, Their academy is actually closer to Villa Park than Bodymoor is

After he retired Big John opened a sports shop in the village I lived in. He was a really nice guy and he used to watch the youth team I played in because his nephew was in the team [mind you he was only 15 playing in the under 18]. He was always really encouraging to all of us.JP I don't know if you ever saw John Charles play but, I had that honour, the man was immense.
He scored 163 goals in 265 games, 97 goals in 161 games in the Italian league. He retired in 1974.
He was a great centre-forward but, he was equally as good as a centre-back.
I think it’s odd that sales aren’t amortized. It might change how clubs view things. Maybe not in every case but for someone like Jaden Philo I doubt we’d have bothered selling him for 5m if it was spread over 3 years.works better on the FFP front. Very bizarre system.
Most of them but we are still missing players in the joint Heartlands where support is 50/50 between Villa and Baggies. We even lost Bellingham to the Bluenoses.We have hired all the Baggies academy staff haven't we?
Apparently Celtic are after him too.
Yes it makes absolutely no sense and causes the problem we are seeing now. I would be surprised if its not changed. I wonder what the UEFA rules are on it? Given that we are supposed to be adopting their system August.I think it’s odd that sales aren’t amortized. It might change how clubs view things.

No, I put them against a wall and take my pick.Have you ever mistaken a spade for a shovel though?
I'm getting rather iritaded now by the number of players linked with us with no substance plus the on -going Luiz saga! I'm pretty sure there will be no major signings, we need to shift some deadwood but these will be just loans. I do not see any point in ESR when we have Ramsey. No I'm finding it hard to not look but then again wishing I had not bothered. Let's get our squad rested, sun tanned refreshed and go for it, to get a top 4/5 finish would be amazing !
The ESR link is bullshit but we could do with a player who plays similar to him. Buendia is the only player in the squad who has the same sort of similarities.I'm getting rather iritaded now by the number of players linked with us with no substance plus the on -going Luiz saga!
