Jeff Goldblum What GIF by The Late Late Show with James Corden
Dear God, may I please be as handsome and friggin cool as Jeff Goldblum when I reach his age?
 
Yeah they're making high upside signings with very little PL experience.

They finished 1 point above us last season. One of the worst seasons we've had in the last decade. The talk like they're miles ahead of us is crazy.
Keep Kane, Son somewhat back to normal and a CB and we should be miles ahead. Without Kane it's anyones guess how good we'll be. I think still good
 
Fuck me the majority of you on here are miserable complainers and repeat repeat repeat the same shit as ENIC out in the TRANSFER thread. It’s actually pointless reading this shit. Moan elsewhere FFS. It’s July….I’m out for a few days
 
ok. but if that's the case, why did he decide to take soo many playing staff half way around the world?
They're pro athletes paid by the club to train & play...whatcha gonna do, leave them home doing nothing? What's that gonna achieve?

If you wanna sell them, it's also a wise move to keep them fit...no club really wanna buy a player who's not had a full pre-season. Plus friendlies put your unwanted in the shop window.

There seems to be more mention of E*** from the other side, tbf.

Anyway, there's an ignore function. If you apply it to all the posters who upset or annoy you you can enjoy the thread to your hearts content.

Just engage with those you deem worthy

You don't have to even see, let alone read what you consider pointless shit.

That way, we can all enjoy the thread and contribute.

Let's hope we get our defensive issues and the Kane situation resolved, eh?
 
Not hard enough. To give Villa credit, they're showing real ambition in their transfer activity this summer. They secured European football last season and they're doing everything they can to consolidate that position. We have to match them or we will be left behind.

We've done some of the work to address the failings of last season's team. We've signed a creative midfielder, replaced our goalkeeper and upgraded our options on the wing but more needs to be done. We need a better pool of defenders to get us through the season and we need clarity and resolution on the Kane situation.

Going hard doesn't necessarily mean signing every player under the sun, it means making tough decisions to get the club where it needs to be and so far we've seen very little of that.
In fairness though, the Diaby lad was supposedly going to Saudi having turned down Villa only 2 days ago and now its changed. Things can change pretty quickly and all look rosy again.
 
Complaining on a message board....

I get where you're coming from, pal. But honest question, what are we 'allowed' to say? Cause it seems anything even remotely negative, it just won't fly with you (or others on here) and you go straight for the jugular (yeah I'm going for dramatic effect).

This ain't a dig, I'm genuinely curious...
 
This forum is infested with people who either refuse to accept any criticism of the club, or refuse to accept that there are any positives.

I feel like debating with both sides even when I agree because every fucking post lacks balance.

I don't think there's really people who don't accept any criticism of the club, I think there's a group of people who bang on about ENIC 10 times a day in every possible thread, and then there's a group of people who want them to shut up.

What are the holes that Villa still need to fill? You sit there talking up Villa, because they are about to spunk 50 mil on a player, yet you have no fucking clue if that aligns with their strategy and plugs their holes.

So you and all the others can spare me the "Villa are going places" bs.

I don't think this is true at all……

Manor Solomon looked really tidy the other day, but we’ve got one poster on here trying to claim he’s “Prem proven” even though he has 4 PL starts.

There are agendas on both sides.
