They are huge, I hope for his sake he never takes the Massive job.

I hope DS stays. Very average. In 2018/19 they only went up through the play offs, despite a squad cost and payroll on another planet from anything else in the division.

Villa ‘sold’ the stadium at alleged over value to a connected party, to cover huge above FFP losses. The EFL cannot currently investigate them whilst they’re in the EPL.

FFP cheats Villa at it again, spending on yet more players (wages and fees). Three players acquired in the last week, including a £10m striker joining. Their £146m spend last summer was more than our first 4 PL transfer windows combined, and they already had a huge payroll in the Championship:

Are their fans entitled ********s, plus quite classless for those of a ‘colossal club’ ... eg rejoicing in little old Albion not being crowned 2017 Champions?

.... whereupon some posters will get rather excited about our summer 2020 transfer war-chest for the Championship campaign.

Has TB a clever strategy that our youngsters will take the PL by storm?

I wonder how Villa are able to do this and meet FFP? We spent circa £45m in summer 2017, with FFP a background constraint.

ACM is definitely the main weakness. Our entire CM has zero pace at PL level (bar Bissouma who’s very much a work in progress). PL stats don’t lie, we don’t create.

And McGinn.

Creatively and in terms of pace to break (or match the pace of opposing CM’s, counter attacking us en masse), we had nothing to offer. Even relegation mix clubs such as Stains, Cardiff, Bmuff and Burnley rolled up on our home turf and taught us lessons in CM football. Our large team of...

Like Wolves or Fulham, anyone’s guess. But with McGinn and Grealish, they have 2 very creative players even before their huge investing this summer, so they’ll win quite a few matches imho. As well as dive a great deal.
