one of my favourite films for all the wrong reasons - lusting after Omella Muti as Princess Aura, and then cringing over a pre Bond and distinctly un-Shakespearian like Timothy Dalton, marvelling over Peter Wyngarde's Department S-like Klytus (with bells on) and the most wooden leading man of all times. Oh and the simply marvellous Dive!! himself. Utterly brilliant in it's awfulness.

Agree. Have you seen Ted? "It's so bad ... But it's so good".

He's in light training apparently at this present time.

Always wondered what 'light' training means. is he walking, running or hopping on his good leg.

Never quite understand why some think he has great potential. He hasnt shown us anything so far. Has he ever comlleted 90 mins for us? You can see his career petering out and returning to Spain. Hope im wrong

The bits we've seen of him are the very definition of great potential, if he fullfills that potential is the question.

I too hope you are wrong Rudy.  Every minute he has played for us has been full of effort totally absent in all but one or two others in our entire squad.  We have been so swamped by bad players we don't recognise a good one when we see him.  Adama Traore is special.  If we lose/knacker him it will be one of the most stupid events in a period of Villa history plastered with unforced calamities .

Loads of potential but I feel ultimately he will disappear off the radar

I feel he could be good this season. I'm trusting our new manager and coach to guide him into the team and give him some confidence and trust. He could tear up this league with some good coaching.

I have a feeling that some good listening might be more beneficial.

Of course this is likely to be financially troublesome for us.  Light training equals light pay increase of 50 percent of current salary which of course has already received several 'appearance based' increments.

He's now triggered a 50% pay rise thanks to the Bank of England cutting interest rates.

Perhaps we have told him he's got to come back in and have his tea when it gets dark?

It's in his contract that everytime he plays in the dark, it triggers a £50k nocturnal payment clause.

he's the only player in the world who gets paid for never playing.
