Please McGrath let this be the window where we sign Nico Williams, what a player.

On McGrath, there's a young Spanish racewalker who won silver that I saw at the European Athletics Championships called Paul McGrath.

He'll be expensive but yes what a talent. Diaby plus cash would be a good plan of attack.

Yes Diaby is famously from the basque region.

I accept they may not want Diaby. Understandable. Then sell Diaby to Saudi and use the income plus top up to land NW.

Wouldn't surprise me at all, he's got it all and plenty of players take a season to settle.

if we can upgrade an area with a class player we should not be fearful to do that.

Barca, Liverpool, and Arsenal are supposedly interested in Williams. As much as we've come on, I can't see us beating all 3 of them to a player. Although I think Barca have to sell 27 players and have a cake sale in order to actually buy a player this summer.

Iroegbunam gone to Everton it looks like for £9m. Seems like a very good fee for a player Emery didn't rate really. Good luck to him.

Thanks, Albion!

It would be wonderful if Villa fans were to send them a bag of salty crisps or at least a big bag of scratchings as thanks.

I'd rather they sent the scratchings to me. Don't let Sexual Ealing get them, he'll probably put butter on them, the fucking deviant.

I don't think he did fine overall Paul.  Had some good moments, but was desperately poor at other times.  Hoping for a big improvement next season.

He had some poor form, but ultimately he ended up 6 goals and 8 assists in the league. Bearing in mind he didn’t start or complete all the games that’s a bloody good return.
