It's not either or, we can sort out the front line and a left back in this window.

I'm really not relishing the thought of us opening the season with the side that finished the last one, even though we miraculously escaped relegation. Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if most if not all our business is done in the last two weeks of the window.

Eze being linked with Palace and Fulham around £15m. I hope Villa are interested at that price?

I used to rack up quite the phone bill for our Mum on that. Four minutes of blurb to then find out that Ian Olney was running again in his bid for fitness.

Like a left back for example.

First choice left back is a must. Keep Targett as back up and move Taylor on

Actually thought Taylor was better than Targett last season. Rarely let us down defensively, whereas Targett was oftentimes a liability. We need a better allrounder that can both defend and go forwards, preferably with pace.

Classic!
Got done myself in the summer of '99, crossing fingers that the link to Chris Bart-Williams was true.

I managed to never call one of those stupid transfer lines. I did find porn though. The Internet has served many purposes, but allowing 12 year olds to skip the right of passage of nicking a top shelf mag with your mates is truly a tragic one.

Fulham are in talks for Watkins apparently. We are appearing to move at glacial speed towards being possibly poised to potentially consider making a bid.

I was travelling with work and used the Villa Clubcall line one evening when we played Leicester way back in the late 90s to listen to second half commentary, I think it cost me about £200.

I’m actually going to be very disappointed if we miss out on Watkins now.
