What i would like to see us do is bring in some really good players and sell on some really bad ones
that would be nice

You want the moon on a stick. 

Yes we really are a very demanding bunch.

According to Dan Bardell on the Villa View podcast, he reckons that we are trying to sign Arnaut Danjuma from Villareal although Everton are also interested in him.

Did Dan happen to mention he's been on Sky Sports.?

Only once or ten times! Still he appears to be doing quite well for himself.

You think he's being paid for it?

Probably helps him get paid work somewhere....actually, how does he earn his corn?

He works for the Athletic and hosts quite a few podcasts for them.

Dan is a genuine fan and has worked hard for years trying to get into the football industry.  I don't know him personally but have spoken to him a few times at the ground as I sit near him and he always comes accross as a top bloke.  I've listened to a lot of his podcasts over the years and his views are mostly very sound - he's mostly very positive but not afraid to put the boot in when needed, which he very much did with Gerrard.

In terms of info, he rarely gives out ITK stuff, but he does work with the Athletic journalists and is often on podcasts with the likes of david Ornstein, so it's likely that he'd be better informed than most - but he's certainly not always right.  I spoke to him a few days before we signed Emery and he wasn''t aware of that - just that we had tried for Poch.

He's got no choice but to publicise himself if he wants to progress, so I've got no problem with him mentioning sky appearances etc.  For me it's just nice to see a Villa fan doing well and getting our side of the story out there as often as he can.  It was great hearing him call out Hoddle on a podcast when he had been trotting out the usual 'Gerrard needs time stuff'  Dan pulled him apart.  His dress sense does leave something to be desired though.

I don't mind him. I don't agree with everything he says but good on him if thats the career he's after.

If I did meet him I'd ask him to stop them all doing that turn and look at the camera thing they all do when it goes to an ad break. Oh and the obligatory white soled shoes are quite annoying. See you've started me off now...

I like him, it's good to see a Villa fan who knows what he's talking about get a regular look-in when the media ask for Villa views because most pundits are lazy as fcuk covering anything outside the Sky Six.

Ive met Dan on a few occasions over beers and he really is a good bloke. He's actually 'living the dream' and has worked hard to get there.

Absolutely fair play to him

I’ve always been high maintenance

Guilbert has agreed his deal with Strasbourg apparently.

[Steve67]

Hopefully, one out, one in! Sanson next?

No, up with the French, not down with them.

Might be wrong, but I just can't see anything in the links with Maguire.  We've already got four senior centre halves (albeit one on loan) with another hopefully returning from injury soon. 

There could be questions around the quality of those options, but I don't think an addition there is a priority at the moment and certainly not at the kind of price Maguire would be.

Oh I think we should be getting one, there definitely are questions around the quality of what we have. But just not him.

Agree that it's an area where we need an upgrade if we are going to push into the higher reaches of the division, but think it is something that can be addressed in the summer rather than now.   Carlos coming back into contention will be like a new signing anyway.

I’ve met him too, he’s a really decent guy.

Me neither. I’d much rather have him representing a Villa perspective than Gabby.

For what’s it’s worth, although I’ve never met him, I agree, he just seems a kind-hearted fella and loves his dog to boot, which always goes down well with me. I never miss a single Villa View podcast. Even my girlfriend, who supports Liverpool, thinks very highly of him.

Ha ha very true, but it’s quite endearing.
