If we go into next season playing Olsen in any of our games FA cup, League cup or European conference cup

We are fucked

Callum Chambers off to another PL team?

Didn't we try to get rid of him in January?

Yes. Everything seems so well run now, it just seems impossible this will be allowed to happen.

[AV84]

What about Fabianski as a back up for Emi? I think he's out of contract at West Ham this summer. At 38 he's probably not going to be anyone's first choice at top level.

[AV84]

Dendonker wanted by teams from 4 different countries apparently, and more than one team in each place.

I wonder how soon we'll actually start moving people on? There's at least 3 that have serious interest in them from teams. Will we hang on to everyone until we've made more signings, just in case?

[Dante Lavelli]

I reckon there’s a backlog of keeper moves that will be triggered by whatever Man U do.  They’ve got the world’s best paid GK about to leave for a free (or resign) and the next big thing threatening to leave if he’s not guaranteed first football.

Yep, he played a pretty big part in both our cup exits last season.  He must be replaced.

Stop it. We're going to win the FA Cup on our 150th anniversary. I just wish my father was here to see it again.

I bet Marco Asensio is delighted he joined PSG and not us with all the madness happening around Mbappe. PSG now threatening Mbappe that if he decides to see out his contract and go for free they might have to sell members of the current team to offset the potential loss of €200m. Could have joined Unai’s revolution Marco.

This doesn’t bear thinking about.

I refuse to believe we won't sign a new number 2 keeper

I look forward to quoting this idiot on deadline day as we leave ourself short of a decent back up keeper and no right back cover for our injury prone first choice.

I suspect he’s probably not that worried.

Me too, my Dad introduced me to the Villa on the Sunday when they brought the cup back to Villa Park at the age of 5 .

He also told me “You are known by the company you keep” circa 1960

Thanks Dad, HEITS

Thanks Dad

My Dad was also there in 57 and would insist that Wood had set himself for the charge that inevitably led to his downfall.
