That was unfortunate, 4 Villans headed up from Cayman and had a great time. $24k raised for Acorns too.

See you at next year's gathering then. :)

Yes absolutely. I’ve been to these before and they’re brilliant. Just shit that I couldn’t go when it was in my own city. Hey, that’s the way it goes. Hope some of the folk on here will be able to join in also

Went to the pre-match gathering when we played Chicago Fire and Ian Taylor joined us in the bar. Up for another one next year particularly if it's a city I haven't been to.

with over a week until the window opens this is a fantastic start to the summer.

Another centre half and a stirker would be good and, if I'm being a bit greedy, I'd take another defensive midfielder to give us the option of going 4231 at times.

I'd consider Matic for that latter, he's clearly on the way down but for a tear whilst Bouba settles and Tim gets more experience he'd add a bit of leadership and aeriel presence in there.

The players who for me should probably now go, fall into a few categories;
There are the players who have consistently shown they are just not up to it: Luiz (he must be brilliant at dead ball situations in training!), Nakamba (woeful), Traore ( brings nothing)
Those who have not improved and are a liability:  Mings (a major error every game)
Those out on loan we can hopefully get a few quid for: Davis,Trez, Targett, Hourihane,Guilbert and AEG
..and those that maybe we can get really good money for: Konsa (going backwards) , JMG (Sadly) and Ollie (even more sadly)

The whole Chukwuemeka will he/won't he saga has become annoying and i'm just not convinced about him ----Archer and Barry must surely come back in some form next season.
A top class DM , Centre back(s) and a striker are priorities for next season.

Let's see how he is when he can go a couple of months injury-free before writing him off.

I think Tarkowski on another 'free' would be good business. Experience, leadership and a bloody good defender, what's not to like? Not really a gamble with no transfer fee to pay.

Absolutely agree. We are a better option than Eversham as well.

Indeed - if you went back in the Buendia thread I’m sure there were plenty of people saying he was hopeless and a waste of money. It can take time to settle - Bailey is new to the country and has had horrible luck with injuries. Hopefully he can settle into preseason and have much more stability - we shouldn’t be writing him off. He also has a key attribute that we generally lack, pace. He can be really important.

I’d love to see Tarkowski partner Mings and actually become captain. I think it would be a great pairing and take the pressure off Mings in the process.

Was it Tarkowski who made quite an impressive speech condemning the twats who flew an "All Lives Matter" banner over Turf Moor, or have I mixed him up with a different Burnley player?
