Expand Aye, I'd be a bit more disappointed about Botman given his age and potential. Also, it seems mad but CB may not be our highest priority right now, though I'm sure we'll still look at the right opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I feel like we have target positions to strengthen but we're also now in a position where if we're approached by an agent or a club with an offer of a player that would strengthen us we would actually do something with it regardless of position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 5056 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 And after window or two they'll have hopefully realized that the absolute piss take with pricing is not on. I wonder if Staveley and Co have looked at the scouting setup. We were a bit fancied in that department in Carr's days weren't we until it went tits up with the likes of Marvuex. With the coach that Howe seems to be you'd think a Dortmund style model could be on the cards, picking up gems from across Europe to polish except we wont have to sell them all off. Not a priority at this stage of course but that's one way of using new found muscle to invest in players without upsetting FFP and such (the joke that it is).

Expand I think thats Ashworths job, hes not a "director of football" in as much as that role has a lot to do with first team scouting and transfers, at brighton hes been 'Sporting Director' and has had an overview of all of the football side of the club, with various heads of departments all reporting to him, which should include scouting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) I’ve seen this numerous times on Twitter today, Villa fans claiming we are trying to start a rivalry despite the fact every fucking post I see from them is saying they beat us to signing whatever wank player they’ve signed. In fact this chain was also on a post about how they’re beating us to players and spending more than us, it’s fucking May ffs. Also, they literally made banners about us going down the boring, small time Brummy nonces. Edited May 27, 2022 by Howay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 5612 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 They're not rivals on the pitch, or locally, currently our ambitions are similar but ours will outstrip theres in a couple of seasons. Their fans acted like cunts when we went down and I've hated their current manager for years before he was associated with them, thats not a rivalry, they're just dickheads so I want them to fail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of thing you oughta be all over after being taken over by sports washing gazillionaires. Good for selling the new Saudi shirt too Expand Not that I'm entertaining the idea for a moment but a marquee signing like that would certainly give us more leverage when it comes to justifying our billion pound a year shirt sponsorship deal.
