Don't know Preston players at all, so not sure if they are putting out their first team?

Yes Stephens is not up to the level we are now playing. In previous seasons (in the Prem and especially in the Championship) he was one of the first names on the sheet as he was our only proper defensive midfielder. Him and Kayal were the best midfield pairing for those last two years in the...

Yep that is the LONG TERM Strategy, not the following season! I'm sure if it wasn't for the financial losses due to COVID we would be seeing a slightly different side out there.

I think we have a list of players we're interested in but at the moment either their Club is trying to get a replacement in or have put an unrealistic price tag on them. Towards the end of the window one of them will blink first (we know TB won't the Lizard) and lower the price of our target to...

I've actually stopped looking for any kind of transfer news now as I think we'll leave it till the last minute or we'll actually go with what we've got. I seriously wouldn't be surprised. Normally there is at least some sign we're linked to someone but there is nothing of substance

Well if we don't know the formation then Kenny J will have no f&cking clue! :lolol::lolol:

So is that Molumby at RB? Looks like a 4-3-3?

I'll try and find a stream for the game tonight but only cos Im looking forward to seeing some of our youngsters playing. Expecting more senior players than last years effort but I guess could be something like this? Steele (although wouldn't be surprised to see Sanchex play as Potter wants to...

It looks like we’re waiting for prices to drop before we start buying, which is fine but that isn’t helping my mood. Plus the fact I’m not sure how many points we’ll get in the first 5 games so I went for a mojo of 4. Also because most of our rivals have brought good players who I would have wanted!

I think he played after his visit and got injured? Out for 4 to 6 weeks I think

Not this season no, that's why the rumour for most of the summer has been that Villa were looking to spend about £100m. Starting to look like it's true.

A snippet from The Athletic: Could Brighton make a late offer? Brighton sources have denied the club have made a formal offer for Martinez. But sources close to the player believe an option separate to Aston Villa remains on the table on Friday evening. In the case of Brighton, it would appear...

I doubt we will get him, he's guaranteed to be no1 at Villa whilst he'll have to fight to be no1 here. They have worked on a deal for the last few weeks on him and some sources have said he is having a medical this weekend at Villa. However with this and the enquiries with the Turkish keeper...

Absolutely, we'll try and recruit smartly and we won't panic. He's not called the Lizard for nothing!

The Club will be fully aware of what areas need topping up as Naylor as alluded to already, a LWB and a Striker are the targets. People venting is understandable but at the end of the day there are a few weeks to go before full panic mode. At the moment we have just enough to get us through...

True, but it's better to wait (if possible) and get your first choices then panic and get a third or fourth choice in. (Fingers crossed!)

:lolol: you've been whooshed by the wee man! (it was a milk pun - have a re-read) - Anyway your probably right, but he does tick alot of boxes for us.

What about that Napoli player Milik? Last year of his contract, move to Roma or Juve hasn't materialised and is refusing to extend his contact. Was at Ajax before 2016 (so would know Veltman), can get for around £26m? Wasn't there a rumour that we were looking at Italy for our striker? Although...

Ideally we need to get a pacey LB/LWB, a pacey defensive midfielder (Stephens replacement, not sure Molumby is quite there yet) and two strikers (one who can play as part of a 3, replacement for Ali J). I'll start to get anxious about our season if we haven't strengthened in those areas...
