That's an interesting point in these weird times.

Much of their prospective income from league and Champions League matches and American Football borefests is off the table for the foreseeable.

I'd be absolutely devastated to see Tottingham plummet down the league as a result of having to service that debt.

I wouldn't. I know you are being sarcastic but hiding my dislike of that club behind even veiled sarcasm would be too much. To then appoint that utter, total cock as manager sums them up. I would love it if that debt is severely added to with a huge payout at some point this season, languishing in the bottom 6. Unlikely, but oh please.

It would be a travesty for such a successful club.

I can't even feign the sarcasm at the post code lottery wankers. Their demise back to their natural midtable state would be chuckle inducing good.

It is quite amusing that for all their “success” they’ve still won the grand total of fuck all in the last 10 years.

Percy
Mcnulty is generally very accurate but rarely breaks anything villa related
Preece is a villa fan and generally reports what has already broken elsewhere

The others I don't believe unless Percy confirms it.

Evans is albion. And wrote some awful shite at the meaning evil so will never be trusted in villa.

£10m + Hogan for Harry Kane to help them out. Seems fair.

Harsh. Let them have Lansbury too.

So as he seem to have broken the Martinez story we can add Tom Kershaw to the transfer list of reliability.

I like to know we can trust on these matters and sounds has his ear to the grounds on this one.

My Transfer list is for most reliable
Jon Percy
Gregg Evans
Phil McNulty
Matt Lawton
Tom Collomosse
Ashley Preece



i listen to the claret and blue podcasts regularly. Ash Preece always says ‘dunno’ when asked about potential signings on there. Which I suppose means he either doesn’t, or does, but isn’t saying.

2 out of 5 isn’t that bad at this point, as you say.

I would like us to get yet another striker, for choice.
It would be great if he was a bit creative from midfield - opposite to Jack and off  McGinn.

Per the Beeb and Independent. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

"Arsenal's Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 28, has agreed a four-year deal contract with Aston Villa, worth about £60,000 per week, with the clubs set to agree a transfer fee of more than £15m."

Sounds promising.

Get on, hope these reports are true about this keeper from Arsenal.

They are.

So 16m for cash; 28 for Ollie; 15/16m for Martinez. Leaves us 40m out of the now mythical status 100m. Edouard and a left back?
