Top addition even if just a loan atm. I wonder if JT had some influence? I’m guessing it happened quickly, he was in the match squad last night, so something pushed it along rapidly I’m guessing

Why are Wet Spam letting him go and are allegedly in for Benrahma? Surely as the owning club they know the capabilities of their player and must clearly rate him below Benrahma, which for me is the worry at £7-8M difference in transfer price

On reflection dogshite is harsh, but some of our squad isn’t good enough if we want to stay in this league. However, on a more positive note I’m confident that we are setting up a footballing business that will hold us in good stead for years to come. Scouting team that know Europe, CEO with...

It’s a game of opinions and yes Hause is a commanding unit in the air. It’s his poor ball play that just isn’t good enough. He often fails to make 10 yard passes when not even under pressure. Wouldn’t say a CB/RB that has only 43% tackle success is someone we want to rely on, even as back up...

‘Hause is a Prospect ’ seriously? He’s dogshite, opposition plan to leave him unmarked in hope we will pass to him and they can pounce. Should never wear the shirt again imo

That’s my worry also, massively disruptive having games before window is shut, yes you can have a look see and still buy, but I’d hate the saga of say JG staying / going hanging over us 6 or 7 games in 😤

With the new season starting 4 weeks tomorrow, plus some/many of our players on holibobs in quarantine countries, anyone else worried we won’t be ready for the new campaign (fitness, tactics and new recruits?)

Actually looking at the final table, which of the top half teams do you think we can overtake over a full season of results? Think this is a challenge from where our squad sits, even with 3/4 quality additions

Why a joke, he never fails to score against us! Defo improvement on Aly and Keinan, would give us some depth , ie not marque striker but back up?

With the collapse of the Saudi takeover, is it time to test Mike Ashley’s resolve? Think a top 6 club is likely for their jewel ASM, but Dwight Gayle anyone?

Below a rather standard express and star article, but first place I’ve seen they played crowd noise at VP for the Olbion warm up game. Please if true as the Bundesliga games with noise are a far better watch with it than without...

3) Fairness. No promotion/relegation unless season is ended properly. I worry that EPL will hide behind EUFA guidance if completion isn’t achievable, relegation/promotion on PPG. This is the resolution that I fear the most (unless it comes after we’ve snook a shock win v Sheffield)

Worrying contrast between articles from Oli Norwood and El Ghazi. Sheffield sound rating to go, some of Villa squad worrying about CV19. Doesn’t sound ideal preparation for such a crucial match 😫 Norwood: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52856394 And El Ghazi...

H139 all agreed, however injuries worry me most, especially after 100 days away from competitive matches. All in all, glad it’s back in our hands (well at least while we sit in the drop zone), just think DS will need to play tactically and not burn out players like SJMcG too early. Mind you...

I for one hadn't quite realised what this will ask of our squad. We start 17/6 and must finish w/e 25/7, having played 10 games. So that's 5.5 weeks, with the exception of maybe one mid week game, we have midweek & weekend fixtures back to back for 5-6 weeks solid. Also considering the FA cup...

SJMcG in an article saying him and lads raring to go (ie not sitting out due to asthma) , plus news we are playing our game in hand first (hopefully at VP-too late now to sort neutral grounds surely) both coming the same day, is this the omen that we can actually stay up?🤞

Brilliant news, makes me more confident that if we can at least get games underway we have a chance of stopping up! We should all lobby Villa to push for the home game v SUFC first, IF we could win that early, puts us in a better position should it all fold again. I do think we have a sound...

With the launch of test and trace today and the green light for contact training, what impact will new positive tests have on squads? I guess the current low positive testers can safely self isolate, but what happens if and when a player who took part in (close) contact training tests positive...

Looking at BBC infographic for China, who relaxed lock down yesterday, we have 10-12 weeks still to get where they are now (assuming their 6/2 start is where we are now). So that’s mid to end of June til we get to a similar point? Could we fit in 10 games, pre season and start and finish new...

First article with a quoted source I’ve seen suggesting PL will fold season. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/serie-chief-claims-premier-league-18059976
