Player Valuation: £70m
I’m fine with this as long as the lad gets his head down and works. He’s likely gonna get a chance alongside DCL for Saturday and the opening couple of games til Richy is back so it’s up to him to keep his place
What’s amusing about that?We have missed out on McCarthy. Celtic snapped him up. Hee hee
Bad day today or are you devoid of any sense of humour? Or maybe you are even a McCarthy fan?What’s amusing about that?
James our best attacker, I thought whoever the manager was that we brought in was to get the best out of what we got whilst tweeking afew things, not sell our best players for some dirty lumpsMina is our best CB
No I’m having a good dayBad day today or are you devoid of any sense of humour? Or maybe you are even a McCarthy fan?
Excellent. I hope you have many more.No I’m having a good day
I suspect we were hoping for the Grealish money but until it is signed there are no guarantees. He could fail a medical and if we have gone way over FFP then we would be fcuked so I can't really see us spending too much before he sells. He did miss 3 months last season and he missed 3 months the year we got promoted. I don't think he has ever played a full season for us. I suspect we are flying very very close to FFP threshold but I also think our CEO knows how to manage FFP. Saying all that, if we do manage to take 100m from City then our finances will be looking a lot betterI guess with you guys too, you were always spending against the Grealish money one way or the other - whether he goes this window, or next year (assuming no horrific injury etc).
Basically, investing against pretty much a sure thing and you do have some wiggle room anyway even without that big sale.
You guys certainly sound very disillusioned. I consider Everton a big-spending club with lots of potential. From a rivalry perspective I have always been happy that you don't seem to be able to get the right manager in place. I see Everton as a club that Villa is able to catch up on and compete but imo, if u had the right manager then I think u would pull away and make that very difficult.We have missed out on McCarthy.

I think it would too. Jack's great great grandfather won the FA cup for Villa in 1905 and got an England cap so he is Villa through and through. I love him as a player but I think he should join City. He will win very little, if anything at Villa but he will win a few cups, the Premier League and probably the Champions League with City. I think his ability as a footballer deserves this so I wish him well. Also, Villa are nowhere near good enough to be holding on to him. We were in the Championship a couple of years ago and we need to remember that. We are building a decent squad now and I think we are better off with 100m to strengthen a few positions rather than holding on to one player and paying him 200k a week. We are not a top 6/8 club (yet)Without knowing the lad, other than some interviews during the Euros, I reckon an FA Cup as a Villa player would trump multiple pots at City. For him that is.

Regarding transfers, I can't believe that you will not sign a few big players this window, I expect to see some quality added which just makes our catchup that little bit too difficult next season
YepIs there?
