Pre-season Friendlies Match Thread

[dave.woodhall]

Have you heard anything about Donavon tonight Dave?

Nothing. Isn't one exclusive per match good enough for you?

[Mazrim]

Landon Donovan? Why, who has said anything about him?

[bertlambshank]

Just something I was told,I should know better.

[Mazrim]

You may as well spit it out now mate.

[bertlambshank]

The chap that told me books cars for VIP's and said his agent was in Brum.I wouldn't know a football agent if he smacked me on the arse.

[Greg N'Ash]

Jesus. We're getting desperate now when we're going by upmarket taxi drivers :0).

[Toronto Villa]

Good run and shot from Albrighton now on the left.

Mon can't resist playing players out of position can he?

Was MON actually there tonight I couldn't see him

yes he was

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I thought the word was that Bannan had no future at Villa? If that was the case, then I hope he's changed MON's mind, he's got real talent.

As the Percy next to me said, "Stick him out on loan then ask yourself if you'd sign him."

It didn't do Gary Cahill any good.

[JJ-AV]

Oooh, Donovan would be nice.

How gay does that read?!

[usav]

Landon Donovan? Why, who has said anything about him?

Not a hope chaps.

Let's put this to bed now.

[Dave Cooper please]

You might as well try to catch the wind.

In the post-match interview on avtv MON said Bananaman played well but ''it's a pity he's 3ft 3''... ''.

[JJ-AV]

Not been much hype about Weimann but he seems to keep doing the stuff and MON seems to rate him.

Reckon he might be nearer the first team squad this season?

[Matt Collins]

Just watched the goals. How on earth did Pete Colley think the first goal was an OG forced by Barry Bannan?!

Weimann hasnt had the buzz around him that Fonz has had but he's been highly regarded for a year or two now and he had a fantastic year last year in the reserves.

The encouraging thing about him is that he's an instinctive goalscorer. He seems to know where to be and how to finish, and also how to link play. When he plays with Fonz they look like a hell of a partnership.

I can honestly say he will defintely make it at Villa like I believe Fonz and Albrighton will but if he carries on improving as he has done there's every chance. A year ago I would have said 50/50. Now its more like 75/25.
