Club have ‘approached’ Aston Villa player about transfer – Villains want sale, not loan

Part of their promotion revolution last year, Björn Engels didn’t have the ideal first season in the Premier League with Aston Villa

According to Walfoot, Anderlecht have come knocking, ‘approaching the player’, although they would want him on a loan rather than a full transfer.

I would be happy to see Björn Engels stay however it does not look like Smith is keen........so who do we bring in?  Joe Rodon from Swansea? Have we been linked to any Anderlecht players?

Could always do a loan with an obligation to buy in a year's time as seems to be a new trend.

Didn't Dalian die in Telford ?

He did. In Trench, in fact, who, if you scroll up a bit, got funeraled by me from the halfway line in 1990.

Rose is from up north - so that may not have been the issue.

I'm from Telford but you'd have to drug, gag and bind me to get me there again.

How can you possibly say that? It’s a great day out https://youtu.be/LTs5rk5h3R4

That's genuinely depressing.

I know he isn’t ours but £35m for Jota? Seems way too cheap in the current market.

Very. Or else Watkins is too high.

All I remember about Telford is that we used to go to the cinema there. Oh yeah, and the ice rink, to watch the Tigers have a fight every now and again. Wasn't there some big adventure playground thing there too?

[Sexual Ealing]

If I lived in Italy I guarantee that I wouldn't think about Telford either! Yes, there was 'Telford Town Park'. It was shit.

The adventure land is in the town park along with wonderland. The town park has undergone a European style transformation lately and has loads of eateries and trendy bars around a pool that used to be a boating lake. I am not from telford I hasten to add. (Just the usual number of fingers and toes on me) I am a brummie who just happens to have ended up in telford. Close to Trench the unfortunate scene of Dalians demise and also close to Lilleshall home of the former National Sports Centre and my golf club 😀

'Telford Town Park'. You learn something new and all that.
No, can't say I've thought about the place much in the last 30 years.

I wonder if this is the downside to being in bed with Mendes, the fees are never as high as they should be when players are sold so that the agents fees are larger?

[Des Little]

If Mendes is involved, you can be sure that every move will be very beneficial to one party...

Fuck’s sake, okay we know. You scored a goal. Give it a rest.

*sorry, bit upset about the obvious sexual chemistry between you and Lee B.

The Athletic reporting its more like 45m for Jota.

What a cynical bunch of barstewards you are this sweet sweet Friday evening pre season kick off (for us).

I’m fairly certain when our Jack and Deli Ali stay up conversing late it’s like when Jean Paul Sartre met Che Guevara in the 60s.

I reckon its more like Jamie Oliver and Heston Blumenthal. Two young English culinary titans swapping recipes. Dele is your traditionalist sets the toaster to 4, Jack the maverick is not averse to using the grill.
