Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Exeter_Gently]

I wonder if a transfer request has been discussed between him and his agent.

Whether that would move the dial on it,who knows.

 

[Root66]

It would be extremely weird to walk away if we didn't have another player lined up

 

[Ming the Merciful]

We can do better, though.

Why not enjoy a better journey?

One man held us back. His passing has opened new possibilities...

The better journey is the path you choose.

The better journey is the path you choose.

I choose a successful one, full of exciting football, rock hard calves, low-slung socks, and tight shorts. Alice bands entirely optional.

 

[RinkyDinker]

Im sure I went to see Dalian Atkinson at a preseason/triallist match once but something says I had the same with Tony Daley too?

Am I imagining this or did it actually happen?

Exciting team Villa at times under Big Ron.

I think it was Franz Carr who played as the other trialist in that game with Atkinson.

Someone will be in the back office as we speak, working out how much is left in the kitty now that Grealish is sorted.
Can we afford Dibling, or are we looking down the back of the sofa for inspiration and loose change?

His old man used to run a chippy in Preston that we'd frequent when I went Uni there. So there you go

I can understand that point of view - but I'd take a top-flight title, a relegation, and a promotion every decade over being seventh for 10 years.

I, too, am proud of our ever-present status, but that in itself has been used as an excuse for inertia. "Don't jeopardise the top-flight status, these are good times" while not spending a bob or refusing to sell to proper investors.

Consistently building is laudable - but only if it means reaching a destination. We never did. The Moyes years amounted to nothing, in the end. Not a single cup. Sure, it was better than being relegated, but we've got to set a higher bar than that when measuring success and striving for it in the future.

I suppose, in the end, I can sum up my feelings by saying Moyes - for all his sterling work at Everton - would admit that the greatest moment of his career was winning that pot at West Ham, even if his body of work at Everton was objectively better.

Did Villa win the title in that time - did I miss something ?

Remember him crocking Psycho Pat at Goodison, only to be subbed when Psycho got up after treatment and looked around the pitch to see he'd gone to the left back position.

Amen brother

Let the good times flow

Succinctly put!

We haven’t got a kitty

I’d actually bet we’ve finished about them more in them 35yrs when they’ve been in the top flight, probably Close, but I’d guess we edge it. They have 1 league title in a 110 years and no FA cup since the 50’s. Yes they have a couple of league cups in that time

Let’s we forget.

And a European cup
