How can anyone choose Fecking sheffield united over villa??

Maybe we wasn't interested in him in the first place.

I think we were but, as most stories on this are suggesting, with Grealish looking likely to stay Liverpool were concerned about the number of games he'd get.

Whatever we are considering we could do with getting a move on. We paid the price for a slow start  last season, if we harbor any hopes of going up this season we can't be 10 points off the pace after a few months again.

A transfer embargo has not long been lifted which is probably why it's been quiet up until now.

Because they would be guaranteed a game?

Because its not a choice of a permanent new club. It's more about game time.

I am not adverse to loans, although if we have a good one and they are successful then we will spend some of next years budget on a player we already have (Think Mitrovic at Fulham)
Anyways I would certainly not be in favour in the loaning club dictating how many times their player played for our club - I don't care who they are player or club.

I'm not arsed, I think with Green, Adomah, Grealish, Kodjia, Davis, Hogan and possibly O Hare all looking for games this season as our attacking options I think we'll be fine. We can only play 3 or at a push 4 of those in the team at any one time anyway. I think there is plenty of goals and quality amongst that lot anyway. If we should be looking anywhere it should be goalkeeper and centre back.
We might end up with Snodgrass coming back to add to those lot also.

Percy among others confirming that we couldn't guarantee game time and didn't like the penalty clauses in the lad's contract for not doing so

Plus Sheffield United are a proper club who'll most likely be in the mix again this season

Sky are saying Woods is in talks with Swansea.

[mr underhill]

Odd way to look at it from a fellow villa fan. I like to think we're a proper club.

We are a proper club. Klopp always insists his loan signings play, if he lost form and we didn't play him then Villa would be penalised so fuck em.

Pity the takeover didn't happen earlier in July. Now there's lots of competition for decent players as the window closure beckons. Although I'm fairly sure that the deadline for loans from the PL is 31st August??
