Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

That’s online bullying, leave our Jack alone 😉

He's not just 'our Jack" anymore, as regular viewers of the EFL round up on Quest will know.

The slag.

Blimey, didn’t know that.
Stand corrected
Carry on guys 😂

Blimey, Citeh have been relegated, didn’t know that.

Given the way we've been doing business recently does anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that someone like Bissouma might be signed early and all of a sudden too, with miffed fans of Spurs, Arsenal, WHam, Newcastle saying "we didn't want him anyway"?

Has he been cleared of being a sex offender yet? I already nearly had to give up supporting one team because of that.

Extended again:

"Today (Wednesday 6 April) Sussex Police said: “A man in his forties from Brighton who was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault has had his conditional bail extended until Monday 6 June.

“A man in his twenties, also from Brighton, who was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, has been released under investigation while inquiries continue."

So his older mate still looks to have the more serious situation, as he's still on bail, while Bissouma is "under investigation."

Thanks. Unless they're pretty certain he won't be charged, it doesn't sit well with me.

I don't think we need to be overly worried that there won't be due diligence done at B6 so I'd be pretty comfortable with their decision on this.

"Our Jack", "the slag", "EFL on Quest".

This is a thread not yet mentioning Man City reserves. 'Jack' is the commentator Mr Woodward.

No worries, I was probably being a bit obtuse and most of the stuff on this thread over the summer will be wrong anyway.

Nice to hear Jack W got a promotion. Is EFL Quest on Channel 5? Kind of apt that he's reached a career pinnacle at a second-rate tv channel. He'll probably be dying to meet Dan Walker once he moves over from the Beeb.

Two Woodward/Partridge Pravda moments, you'd think were made-up but were actually filmed for supporters' consumption:

1) Jack, in the bath with some plastic rubber ducks, pretending that they're Villa players and commentating accordingly...you just can't un-see something like that
2) Woodward singing a Christmas hymn acappella while Ashley Young, Gabby etc. tried to hold back laughter in the background
3) He must have been laid-off after we got relegated. He returned to the club a couple of years ago and the OS had a little video of him - a "Jack's Back" kinda vibe, complete with cheesy footage of Woodward seen looking towards Villa Park, drinking-in as many memories of the old place as he could.

Blimey, sounds like Bissouma was groomed!

If we can get Bissouma, legal clearance permitting, the player alongside Kamara completely changes the way we play. We go from a pretty poor midfield to a top 6 one in my opinion, that should be able to help keep us on the front foot. Buendia and Coutinho would love it.

Man City are apparently going after Kalvin Phillips. He looked horribly slow for Leeds at the end of last season but that may just be coming back from injury. Would be another English player bought for a quota to weaken the opposition.
