“Then it will be here we go”

Would definitely take, very different to Elanga though. Definitely needs to improve decision making and end product but has all the talent.

Yeah fair enough. But if they won’t win the league or CL then they’re basically still competing in roughly the same area as us. Despite signing hundreds of players. I just don’t think I’d call that a super team.

Not sure Chelsea are building a super team like. They’re assembling a lot of footballers who only went there for money. There’s more to football than just spending.

Don’t think there was ever a chance of Villa being able to keep Rashford. Even if he’d done well.

Elliot's price has probably gone up about 50% in the last week as well.

We really should be feeling the best about the club we've ever felt, or certainly since the Keegan years. If we are frustrated and annoyed now then we really don't have any chance to enjoy the experience of being a fan. I know the experience of a football fan is basically constant disappointment, wanting more and being annoyed, but it's a bit much sometimes.

I don't agree but fair enough opinion.

Maybe a bit simplistic, we can't really know which of these players would've good enough if they'd gone somewhere with a route into the first team.

I'm never bothered by any player that doesn't want to come here, I don't wish him failure either. It's part of the game, especially with ridiculous entities like Chelsea knocking about and warping the market.

When the manager came in he made a big deal of their squad being ridiculous and we would only work with about half the players. Guess he's been slapped down since then.

I'm not sure it's clear what the contract offer was TBH. Could have just been a discussion about his future out of respect for what he's done for us. I hope it wasn't that we really wanted to keep him because we think he's really valuable. We'd have to be very thick to believe that.

Exactly.

Ah OK, see what you're saying. I'm not sure I believe there are companies queuing up to sponsor our training ground or training kit mind. That's very low profile stuff. And I don't want a stadium sponsor if it means changing the name.

Have we? How do you mean, by turning down people who wanted to sponsor us?
