Then it says Villa may be targeting Toney in 'succession planning', as if we're going to replace a 28 year old star striker with another 28 year old who got found guilty of gambling on games he was involved in. Brilliant stuff, truly.

It will be nice if we have reached a stage where our best players don't want to leave (Platt / Barry / Grealish / Milner etc)
Chelsea's Cole Palmer speaking on Lions' Den, England's YouTube show, about setting up Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins' winning goal against the Netherlands in their Euro 2024 semi-final: "We were playing together at half-time, just passing the ball to each other, and he said to me, 'we’re going to come on and you're going to set me up and I'm going to score'."When it happened, it was mad, but even in training when he runs, I just know. Every time I get it I look for him because I know he's going to make those runs in behind. When I got it, I knew he was going to be there. All I had to do was play it and see what he can do."On substitutes making an impact: "That's what we're there to do. When the manager shouts us we've got to be ready. We've just got to keep being ready."It's crazy to see the fans and players enjoying it together. It's amazing."Watkins on his winning goal: "To be fair, I thought I was too wide, so my first touch was good, then the defender didn't really get too tight to me. But he's opened his legs and I just thought 'hit it hard and low, it may get a deflection or something like that'. But I've just caught it so sweet. As I’ve seen it go into the bottom corner, it's just like slow motion."It was the best feeling ever. If you see from my reaction, I don’t even know what to do."On reaction to Wednesday's win: "[I've had a] few hours' sleep - I'm buzzing! It's the best feeling. We're in a little bubble so you don't see it so you just move on to the next game. It's a massive achievement, back-to-back [Euro finals]. Obviously, it's my first tournament - Cole's as well. It's special."
I really like Cole Palmer, he seems like a very level headed young lad, as well as being a brilliant player. Shame he plays for Chelsea.
I think Foden is actually better than people give him credit for to be fair. Both are better 10s than Bellingham though for me, who is overhyped.Would love Palmer at Villa. Never going to happen sadly.
