Stirling Albion ?

Amazed nobody has mentioned the missing apostrophe in BNS's username.

What is going wrong with this place>

[cdbearsfan]

I'm sure PWS has been, correctly, chastised for similar and advised that the site doesn't allow it.

[pauliewalnuts]

Since when do actual rules impact the freedom of H&V pedantry?

[rooboy316]

We’ve got enough numbers - there are two players for every position, and enough players who can play across multiple positions to fill gaps. It’s just a matter of increasing our levels™ - someone coming in if we can offload someone else. Carlos as a priority, possibly Cash. And youngsters out on loan like SIJ.

Using apostrophes' properly i's for loser's.

🔴🔵 Samuel Iling Jr from Aston Villa to Bologna, here we go! #AVFC accept loan proposal with salary covered.

Iling Jr will be back to Serie A on straight loan after joining Villa from Juventus as part of Douglas Luiz deal.

No buy option included, medical on Sunday.

Strange.

[cdbearsfan]

Good luck to him. I like Bologna so will try to see how he gets on if they're on telly.

[Dave]

So we could end up playing against him in the Champions League

[cdbearsfan]

Surely not if he's on loan?

[Matt C]

One more out, surely space for two additions now.

[AV84]

I don't think it's strange. We sold Dougie and opted for two young players with a lot of potential in
exchange. In midfield we've got Onana, Tielemans, McGinn, Barkley, Rogers, JJ, Bailey, Philogene, and possibly Barrenachea, with Kamara on the way back too. Maybe we could have used him as a wing back, but I can't see him getting much playing time for us this season.

The Premier League are the outlier on that, most leagues let loan players play against their parent club.

There's no Champions League rule against it, it just depends whether we put a clause in the loan agreement that says he can't.

edit - as an example, Coutinho scoring twice against Barcelona while on loan at Bayern.

Starting to get a bit nervous that weee not going to replace diaby.  I know our midfield looks better but our defence is weak - certainly til mings is back and forward line is inexperienced.

Hopefully we’re in for a lot of games this season and last season come the end most our players looked like me on the last day of a stag weekend - odd moments of brilliance - but buy and large body and mind are gone and prone to shitting the bed
