There were people crying on here over a winger who scored once.

We signed someone capable of playing LW in January. I think his versatility was a very big part of his signing. I don't think Eddie and Co see him as a LW

8mill.... and Chelsea get their share of that. The rest add ons. 10mill for making an appearance, another 10mill for appearing on the team photo etc ?

It's not, it's his scouting teams.

A lot of it is because he looks awkward (stuff how it looks if it's effective imo) and because he's "seen" as a centre half though he played plenty at LB during his career

I dont think it's the LB and RB roles as much as Trippiers and Burns roles.

Trippier left/Livramento right or Trippier right/Targett left ? There's an argument either way.

Is the system not the way because of the personnel ? If through injuries or whatever Trippier did play left then he'd play the same way but on the left. Not advocating it btw, just thinking Livramento, should he come, alters things even short term as things stand.

If, and its very much an if, this comes off could anyone see Trippier switching to the left ?

I've no idea what you mean by "aggression of ambition" unless you're saying we have loads of spending room and aren't doing it because we are happy to be where we are ?

S for the P.

I love booing, catcalling, all that stuff as soon as the opposition get the ball. Never seen the point in doing it to your own.

Burn, if this place is any guide.

Be interesting what happens in the family section when the 10yr deals run out as most of the kids that got them are now adults.

And Livramento seems a much better defender.

Leazes or Milburn ? Wouldn't swap my Milburn L7. Didn't like Leazes L7 but if it's there or nowt then I'd take it.

It's what I'm saying, but the narrative is spun that everyone who packed in done so in protest. Many packed in for the same reason they pack in at other clubs but its a convenient excuse. Don't misunderstand me, a good few did and never went back but plenty went back as soon as we started winning and looked like going up. First time round that is, second time round the prices were great and many kept going because of that.

Every other club it seems has a fair sized drop off when they drop a division, people just not wanting to watch lower level stuff. Except us, where the drop off was purely a protest about Ashley.

Look at their other revenue. Chelsea and Liverpool loads of advertising/sponsorship revenue. Villa have at least 130mill of clear profit transfer sales in the past 3 years.

That's some way of letting slip you've reversed the ageing process. You're a real Doc.

Out of curiosity, how many tickets are kept for members ?

Could easily test it in some youth tournament. Ball is dead, clock stops like NFL. However some sort of penalty for not restarting within a given time.

Said me great great grandad when Alf Common moved.

Would be nice if everyone could see how long is left rather than one person who decides the 1min stoppage when the keeper went down should be 3 minutes and then adds on 10secs for the 2mins celebrating an injury time winner.

But you sound Italian.
