Bruno with a new DM behind Paqueta is the way to go for me

They won’t sell for less than £50m

Very impressed with how early Villa are getting their transfer business done

Jonathan David would be perfect for us. He can play across the front line, has skill and pace and is young enough to understand the project we have on offer here.

I have watched him a few times this season and he reminds me of a left footed Titus Bramble

That last sentence speaks volumes - the type of ambition that we have missed. “We can think about the Champions League and becoming a contender. I came here to win and we will turn Newcastle into a winning club,”

VAR doesn’t have a clue. How can they not get a penalty for that when they conceded one against Spurs in the same way

I really don’t think Everton need any more points. I can’t see Burnley getting anything from Villa away and we should really be losing to them ourselves on the last day

Somehow I don’t see them accepting a loan deal from us given how they screwed over Lingard in January

I’m confident that we will be in the Champions League by the time the new reforms have come into play. That’s the 2024/25 season and I think by then we will have had two full seasons to sort ourselves and show the ambition that Bruno has suggested.

We should looking at someone of his age and ability in the summer, but he’s on loan from Dortmund so we have no chance

He’s far better for the team when he’s not the only source of our attack. He adds a completely different dimension to our play and when he’s not got three players around him constantly he’s a great asset

The 4-4-1-1 works with Wilson or Ekitike in front of Paqueta with Bruno with Philips (new DM) sat behind them

He mentioned Aaron Hickey from Bologna as someone we are seriously looking at, but I guess all the top clubs would be circling as he has a bright future

He speaks very well and is also saying the things that we want to hear about the type of signings we will aim for - but I guess he’s just like every other journalist speculating

If he’s one of two new centre backs coming in with Botman / Badiashile being the younger player we spend money on, then it’s very sensible business

Let’s just buy both of them

I’d be happy with that for sure

I can’t describe how much I loved Sir Bobby

Imagine getting Philips and Raphinha in for a combined £60m - other clubs would go mental

I think he’s getting better at passing the ball, he’s just not the best at it. The same could be said of many of our current squad though

Would rather have Raphinha here myself. I guess we may be in with a shout of either of them depending on which side goes down

Yeah Everton are on the brink if they don’t win tomorrow. The only thing saving them from complete disaster right now is that Leeds probably won’t get any points until Everton play an already relegated Watford away and by that time it could be one point between them

There’s no need for him to return this season. I’m pretty sure we were told that his type of injury is one that requires rest and the longer that he leaves it, the better it is

Agreed. My opinion for a number of years has been that the league is extremely open if you take out Liverpool and Manchester City. Obviously the other sides historically finishing at the top end of the table are ahead of us, but I think the 4 - 8 positions are something we can easily end up challenging sooner rather than later
