LOL - anyway, not going to happen

Villa fans are tearing themselves apart on their messageboard following Watfords win. Its all about catching them or West Ham now.

I've not seen us mentioned, strangely.

I'm confused. I thought their aim was top 4? Why are they bothered about West Ham and Watford?

 

[Audax]

....and I think to catch us (even assuming we get no more points) :

Bournemouth - 3W 1D from 5
Villa - 3W 1D from 5
West Ham - 2W or 1W 3D from 5
Watford - 2W or 1W 3D from 4

plus still to play :

WHU v Watford
WHU v Villa

Not to mention that for us to go down, it requires 3 of those 4 teams to get past us. I suspect we'll be safe with 3 to play regardless of our own results vs Liverpool and City. Although ... that depends on Palace beating Villa, and Palace's form since restart has been dire.

Yep, will be a very big surprise if one of them does, let alone 3 of them.

They've gone totally bonkers on Villa Talk. They're talking about who to get as a new manager when Smith gets them relegated. The runaway winner in their poll is Pochettino. The runner-up (with half Poch's votes) is Dyche - surprised they didn't go for Guardiola.

Are they living in a permanent drug haze up there or something?

How are Everton doing?

 

[Weststander]

I'll offer a different view on England CB, again. Mings will not have a place for years to come for the very reason you indicate: he's not that good. But there haven't currently been too many CBs to partner Maguire. I suspect you'll see Gomez starting alongside Maguire and, into the future, their key challengers will come from younger players, perhaps including White.

Fingers crossed you're right about Mings.

I had high hopes for Gomez, but for example in LFC's last two games he was awful, making the Villa attack look effective for the first hour.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

To add to this, no matter how much Southgate loves Mings, he won’t pick him from the Championship next season. So he’s going to have to leave big club Villa.

Villa will probably get £75million for Grealish - and Mings signed a pretty big contract when he joined villa permanently (apparently £1.3million a year with 2 years to go) - If he cannot get the same or similar he could stay at Villa. There are a pile of other players also on big contracts that they will likely have to dump. They spent about £150m on transfers last summer.

Villa 'should' be a 'big club' - but they have never lived up to their billing over the past 40 years - and that leads them to coming up with some bat-shit crazy stuff. If the do sack Smith (and I think they might keep him) - Hughton would actually be the ideal replacement.

Is anyone mad enough to spend 75 million on Grealish?

 

[Machiavelli]

Leeds will need a new CB, their PoTS is downgrading to a small club on the South Coast. Sorted

That'd be perfect, and their fans can argue it out between them how much he'll cost, is worth, etc

Arsenal are short on attacking players

I do actually rate Grealish, but you're loony tunes if you think they can get £75m for him, especially when they go down. Thats SEGW territory, and we've all seen how thats panned out.

Remember https://www.footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/Seasons/1980-81/ClubResults/1980-81.Brighton.html

We need to keep the score down against Liverpool, just in case.

I'd be surprised if Mings or Grealish are "only" on £1.3m a year. That's only £25k per week. I would think they'd both be on double that.

Then I'll join the loony army, think they will get £65m-75m for him. Top, top player. United paid £80m for Maguire, cant see how Grealish would be much cheaper.

Pochettino! lolol, why on earth would he want to take over at Villa Park?

Could even attract the likes of Chris Hughton if they go down, providing he can deal with the politics there of course.

More expensive if anything, midfielders/forwards almost always fetch more than defenders.

He will certainly go for an eye watering sum, very good player and he scores and creates from the midfield. At least twice what Palace will get for Zaha imo

Unless of course he has a relegation clause with a lowish figure.
