Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody hell get a move on Villa.

[Gareth]

Nyland is an excellent shot stopper & makes some unbelievable saves but he doesn’t command his area and it was particularly noticeable in the empty grounds the difference in vocal presence of Reina when he came in.

If another keeper is signed I’d be happy enough to let Nyland & Kalinic go

[Bad English]

All of our new signings will be great once they get a full pre-season under their belts.

[brontebilly]

So who thought we'd enter September without signing a single new player?

Who thought we’d enter September with the season only officially ending a couple of weeks ago and the new season not having started yet?

When did you think the season ended?

Ours, like 95% of teams finished 5 weeks ago.

 The thought of Nyland starting against Sheff Utd is worrying...

yeah, Nyland is crap isn't he?  Just watch the 2 League Cup Semi's against Leicester!  2 of the best performances of any goalkeeper in whole of last season. But lets forget that and remember 1 mistake against Sheffield Utd.

Nyland was a trainwreck after the restart and threatened to throw a goal in every game. That throw against Wolves should be his final act as a Villa player. Unfortunately he regressed to the form he demonstrated for us in the championship where he was awful in nearly every game. So much so Bruce brought in Mark Bunn for his last game v Preston.

There’s a photo doing the rounds on social that shows jt, Shakespeare, Dean Smith in a small group With what could definitely be Watkins and Cash.

It’s not photoshopped, it’s just the angle, difficult to confirm the players. They’re in the Fig and Olive , Middleton

This is the photo.

It’s the coaching/performance team having a meal last night. Villa Twitter is showing new levels of speculation.

Is that not Cutler opposite Shakespeare?

[OCD]

Most of our transfers were announced on Thursdays for some reason last year.

A Sky reporter has just turned up and told to order something or leave.

Oh ok. My bad sorry.

In my defence , it is the “....and utter bollocks” thread 😂😂😂

But in better news Messi has just delivered next doors Pizza.

That’s more like it!

I thought the defence looked a bit better without Nyland behind it, tbh.

Yep! Nyland isn't the sort of keeper who really inspires a defence when they watch him throw the ball straight to the Wolves player.

Steer will start the first game I imagine.

Craig Shakespeare looks like he taking an important call on a pepper grinder.
