Be quite nice to have two nasty bastards who hated losing. sometimes we just seem too nice.

A midfield duo of Trump and Netenyahu would certainly raise our profile worldwide.
We'd have all the cards.

Probably be better to have people in the tent who didn't always lose though.

Coventry are planning to spend £200m to prepare for life in the Premier League, with Aston Villa and Spain defender Pau Torres, 29, and Tottenham's England midfielder Conor Gallagher, 26, among their targets. (Fichajes - in Spanish)

Hahahaha, and hahahahafuckingha

Emery has performed miracles with the players we have but even he must wonder if he's reached his limits. What Rashford bought to us last season shows the skill lever needed to play at the top consistently, problem is we can't afford them. At one time last season I looked at our bench and thought wow, it was that strong, but now we know that Bailey will come on at some time.

It’s pace as well. See Rashford’s goal yesterday as a great example.

The players we sign this summer need to have bottle. They want to have the guts to dig in at games, get stuck into the opposition and put them on their back foot. How many times have we seen us get into good positions in cup or league and then throw it all away because we are scared of the opposition. They need to roar at their own players if not doing it to their extremes, to need to put 100% into every game.
Like an Anderson
Or, an Alex Scott - he makes Bournemouth tick.

Agent - oh hi Pau, I’ve got a deal sorted. You’re leaving Villa and joining Coventry!

Pau - am I fuck mate. Oh, and by the way - you’re fired.

Bayern not taking Chelsea up on the 65M option for Nicolas Jackson, so imagine we'll be linked again.
