Taking some punts, but could really pay off. 

 

Fuck it, we're in the last 16 of the CL, have a favourable looking line up for the next round, need some bodies in, need quality, a one-stop shot at doing something, fuck it. Let's have a pop.

 

Bearing in mind, if you'd rewind 5 years ago and told me I'd be dreaming this, let alone actually thinking it was feasible, I'd have thought you were fucking insane.

Can’t argue with that logic, to be fair.

Proper fun window for Villa fans, if nothing else

Well, strictly speaking, if you look only at things that have happened, it has been pretty shit, we're weaker than we were at the start of it.

Are Arsenal still in for Watkins? Or will he be staying?

He'll stay but having said that, if we signed Rashford, Asensio and Felix, I'd suggest something might be happening.

 

He's great, and vital to how we play, but then again, he's also 29 and if someone waves 60m at us, then you've got to think, is there something worth considering here?

 

Also, his goals and assists figures are awesome, but fuck me, I don't know how he manages that AND manages to miss so many easy chances.

Yeah, so many attackers are coming in, it makes me wonder if he might still move.

Interesting how Villa, who I consider pretty parallel to us in terms of FFP position, good managers, similar quality squads, ambitious etc........ are very happy to do loans and 2 of their first 11 are from free transfers, while we seem to hate the idea of loans and our only free transfer is getting sold 6 months later

Villa are quite proactive, whereas we, by comparison, like to sit on our hands and wait for the perfect transfer to fall into our laps.
