This is dreadful.

Stop being such a tit.

Misread and misunderstood….apologies and removed

Yeah, he was just carrying on the breast puns.

#AVFC have finalised terms to sign Marco Bizot from Brest. 34yo regarded a good character, with experience & low-cost fee other key factors. Will be GK No 2 - target position filled for Villa & remain in pursuit of defender & winger. Story

Implies Unai doesn’t think any of our young keepers are ready yet, so get a bit of experience in to replace Olsen and let the kids continue their development.  Makes perfect sense to me  - as long as Emi is staying!

It is quite depressing watching Spurs, Chelsea and United chucking massive money about like nothing is ever going to change while Villa, Forest and Newcastle are all tip toeing about the rules like naughty children. Emery gets us into the top 6 again next season he's performed small miracles again.

Unless they have got suitable replacements lined up, those two Forrst have sold are going to leave a big hole in their side.

I wasn't worried about Forest repeating their surprisingly good form from last season anyway, but even less so now.  Spurs will be the side that replace them in the mix this season I think, Frank will have them organised.  I also have a sneaky feeling Everton could be much stronger too - not quite top six challenging but solid top half.

Everton only have something like 15 fit players for pre season. Having to resign likes of Gueye again for another year shows where they are at.

BIG TITS! What do I win?

The booby prize.

Bizot's replacement.

I was going to post that but I thought it might be the one that had been edited out.

This is dreadful.

I do love you mate.  However, the more you complain, the more mileage it is going to get.  For example, apparently they have been looking around Sutton Coldfield for something compact and bizou.

The DD Cup.

Kylian Mbaps. Not a keeper I know, but the best I've got.

[kippaxvilla2]

I hope he calms the defence down when we are on the rack.

Forest are apparently trying to sign McAtee and Wizza as replacements. The former would be a good addition to our squad (although we don't necessarily need another AMF).
