Garcia gone to Getafe.

Another pointless waste of money.

Yup - too many of those.

Yes, if only every signing was like McGinn, Rogers, Tielemans, Duran, Konsa, Luiz, Kamara, Benteke, Platt, Yorke & God. It’s really not good enough.

Yes, sorry forgot criticism isn’t allowed….

Hold on. I thought your post was criticism?

At least Garcia was a cheap gamble.

Didn't we pay £6m for him? That's still quite a lot for a gamble.

Was it £6m for him, £6m for Ned, £7m for Ozcan? These start to add up.

It only needs one to be a hit and we're laughing, like with Rogers. And we're not losing much when they move on.

These days, if you criticise, they arrest you and throw you in jail. These days.

NEW: Ben Broggio is being looked at by Club Brugge & Bolton this summer for a loan move.
@markmcadamtv


Champions League for a "crack" European side or a season of struggle in the Championship at the Tough Sheet stadium. Tricky one.

No and I get that from a pure numbers perspective. But our hit rate has been deteriorating of late, or at least that’s how it feels. Hopefully a blip and we start uncovering more gems.

They are punts though so the hit rate at our level will be low, same as with every other club.

£40m plus Guessand.

I’m getting the distinct impression they don’t want Guessand

maybe forest will.

Daydreaming whilst watching Spain v France

After Barca, Madrid and Bilbao, I reckon the PL would be the preferred destination for a Spanish footballer (we pay more).

Given our Manager, management, coaches and Real Union should this be our USP.  Aim to hoover up the best youngsters from the lower league la Liga clubs and give them a home where they can thrive.  A year, or two, at Union whilst they mature, the best join Villa

easy right?

With decent players moving on and a lack of incoming players its such a relief to see Leon is still with us.
