In this age of inflated transfer fees it's a bit surprising he's still our only £30m+ transfer.

When you consider Wolves have had three, West Ham have had six and Chelsea have had thirty three.
I am surprised Chelsea have only had 33 signings over 30M!

I'd have guessed 28 so I'm happy with 33. Great, traditional club. Hope things go well for them in the future.

The expectation at Villarreal was that Torres would still move to a top Champions League club for the maximum price. But no firm offers materialised other than the one from Villa (who can offer no better this season than a two-leg play-off in late August to decide who qualifies for the third-tier Europa Conference League), where he is due to have a medical this week.

That was the line that stood out to me this morning when I read it.

And complete BS, if that had been the expectation then they wouldn’t be accepting an inferior offer in early July they’d have held on till mid August at least

I listened to a Podcast with Dan Bardell and Gregg Evans and he was such a boring twat. All he kept banging on about was Villa and FFP (seemingly it does not effect other teams) and how Villa cannot just throw money around blah blah.

I only just found out he is an alleged Albion fan...all makes sense now.  Would any other team have as their press man a supporter of another local club?

His one relevant point was that last seasons revenue generated by the likes of a poor Spurs side (which included football, concerts, NFL, fights etc) was above £400 million where as ours was just over £100 million so i imagine a good reason why we needed someone like Peck on board.

He's not our press man is he, just some berk from The Athletic who used to work for an ad-riddled clickbait site that used to be a local newspaper.

There’s an obsession there, they know everything about us. I know it’s an old line but it’s true. For my transfer news I rely on a blue nose at work who’s constantly telling me about who we’ve shown an interest in. He even has an in depth knowledge of the conference league now we’re in it. It’s hilarious but I can understand it. If they could they’d all jump ship over to Aston.

He showed his colors during his “coverage” of the game at Wolves last season. We know what you are, sunbeam.
