Fuck’s sake.

They’re switching it a lot, making us run all over.

I’m a mess

Christ.

Ugh. How annoying.

Another promising Pep prodigy but I don’t think he’s ready for that big a job just yet.

I’d love it obviously and it’s great that we’re at least inquiring. I just can’t see him picking us over some of the other more established clubs though.

Cool. But not happening unfortunately.

Are you just basing this on his game versus us? Lot of people seem to do this; “he was poor vs. us so he must be bobbins”. Thing is, we’re absolutely mint. We make most players look bad with how we set out.

Would we prefer Onana or Lavia? Different types of player but I really like both. Onana shading it for me.

Said it before but I honestly think Onana has everything in his locker to become a world class player. I can see a good coach like Howe turning him into something really special.

Would love it if Everton just became our feeder club.

Shit. I just repeated what @Optimistic Nut said.

I’d take him but at a heavily discounted price. Prefer Pedro though.

I really like him but he’s pretty selfish at times and we already have 2 right-footers that play on the left.

Just a bit of schadenfreude, innit. Also interesting to see how football fans outside our little echo chamber here view us as a club.

Like @Jack27said, someone like Spurs or Arsenal, maybe Liverpool.

Reckon we’ll see Lavia, Pedro, an unsuccessful attempt on Maddison, a youngish cb/Lb and 2 other highly rated youth prospects (u19). Same total spend of 100m-ish.

The most bitter fans on the internet. Tragic stuff.

Turned off when he said Schar was the worst centre-back in the league pre-Howe.

He’s no Rafa or Potter but it’s a solid appointment for the short-term (considering their situation). Think he’ll keep them up tbh.

Thuram and Tielemens. Villa don’t fuck around when it comes to free transfers.

They’re hardly going to get a good manager in in their predicament imo, especially in an interim capacity. I suppose it does smack of “quick we need a relegation specialist in to save us”; ignoring the fact that “relegation specialists” tend to just be poor managers .

Come on, man. He’s about as good as they can get in their situation. They’re relegation-threatened side offering an interim role.

The next one I did I inadvertently had Tottenham finish above us on the last day. I’m such a fanny .
