Nakamba will come good and I would rather not sell him.

I think he certainly showed enough at the start of last season to give him until January at least.

Agreed.

Nakamba is rubbish.

Can't pass, slow, doesn't score goals, can't beat a player, has made about three tackles in his time here.

I'd sell him for a tenner.

Agreed, but I would keep him for now and see if he improves until Jan. he has performed the worse of all summer 2019 signings

I don't Barkley at all, if he didn't score the odd screamer he'd be a bit part player at somewhere like Burnley or Brighton. On tonight's showing I'd rather see Ramsey get 20 appearances than pay £120k a week to watch Barkley do fuck all week after week. Loftus-Cheek is worth a look but he's clearly not fully fit so I'm not sure a loan for him would be a good idea.

Question should Jacob Ramsey be part of the first team squad or should he go out on loan?
A big Yes from me put him on the bench

If you're good enough you're old enough and he need to play before we will know

Will save us millions

Sends a message to other young players that there is a pathway to the first team

Keeps the dream alive for young local kids that they can grow up and one day play for the villa (can you imagine being a young Chelsea supporter and knowing that you will never play for them)

watched the Chelsea goals against Barnsley, Tammy had a great game, Barkley is fucking ugly.

I saw an article earlier about how Scottish clubs may be forced to sell players due to the announcement that crowds won't be allowed in for the foreseeable future. Edouard?

I'd really like us to get Ruben Loftus-Cheek.  Ticks a lot of boxes as a player with his skill, height etc.  Terrific player and would strengthen us a treat.

Looking at the second string tonight, centre half has to be a bit of a concern.  Konsa and Mings are starting to form a good partnership, but with Engels seemingly not in the picture for whatever reason, we ook short there with only Hause as back up.

Tuanzebe on a permanent deal might not be the worst shout. Has his faults but knows the club and his career is going nowhere at Old Trafford.

If Engels goes, Tuanzebe wouldn't be a bad shout but he shouldn't replace Konsa.  Fight for their places.

Samatta off to Fenerbahce on loan despite Albion also being interested.
One of Barkley or Loftus-Cheek coming in but definitely not both.
Jota and Lansbury surplus to requirements and leaving on loan or permanently if we can shift them.

Definitely think we need one more centre half if Engels goes or is not going to feature.

Engels is currently injured. I don’t know for how long that has been the case, but it is perhaps too early to rule him out as a second choice CB. He had some good games last season, but he also made some ricks, and he certainly started to look less of a long term solution than Konsa. I can believe the reports that he is available if a suitable offer comes in, but perhaps only in the sense that it would make funds available for us to strengthen either at CB or another position.

Albion looking to bring in Adebayor if they can't get a striker. Could be an interesting season.

Because one 36 year old wasn't enough
