So you got it wrong. No worries. Happens to the best of us!

26th July 2026 at 9:49 am #251362And happy, despite only having one game a week, I recall all those players being completely out of gas in the last 20 minutes of games and invariably hanging on.

26th July 2026 at 10:21 am #251369True. Plus remember the loss to Leeds after we’d had a 3 week break?! I think we all agreed that actually momentum is pretty difficult to maintain with fuck all games. Hopefully they can get into a better stride of form and fitness with more games this season.
Either way i’m looking forward to it!_____________________________

26th July 2026 at 10:42 am #251372I think I may have asked this before, but of the players available who should we sign….not who will we sign but who should we?

26th July 2026 at 10:45 am #251373What really worries me is the defence. As it is we are in shit if we don’t get at least one top CB.

26th July 2026 at 11:48 am #251380Knowing that a dmf coming in a top cb is needed.

26th July 2026 at 11:52 am #251381Heaven is maturing nicely, Yoro gets one more season before he gets sold. I’d give it a year, we’ll strengthen defence next summer anyway

26th July 2026 at 12:12 pm #251382Heaven is too slow, same with Harry. Yoro is faster but got no positional awareness at all. Not very enthusiastic about this.

26th July 2026 at 12:15 pm #251384@SteveJ I’ve asked before, someone else asked, and now you’ve asked. But it appears none of us know.

26th July 2026 at 12:24 pm #251385Yeah Heaven isn’t slow and has made some great tackles in pre-season. A CB coming in now basically halts his and Yoro’s progress. I hope we sign a left back to give Shaw a break unless we are going to give Amass a shot on the bench this season. But i think the defence will be overhauled next summer.
Mazraoui did alright at left back in the World Cup too.
Thoughts on that lad Jaydan Kamason at right back? Seemed pretty fast the other day._____________________________

26th July 2026 at 12:44 pm #251386Well if Iβd been singing three midfielders, Iβd have started with two DMs, from Zaire-Emery, Bouaddi, Mamadou SangarΓ© (or Baleba of 2 years ago) and added Scott as a playmaking box-to-box type.

26th July 2026 at 12:46 pm #251387As of now, and of whatβs available, Iβd probably settle for Kone as our third.

26th July 2026 at 2:14 pm #251396Should be a done deal by now. Not everyone of the board is certain about him. I think they will go after Baleba.

26th July 2026 at 2:36 pm #251397Kone’s injury history is fairly chequered, I wonder are they worried it would be another Ederson scenario where he’ll fail the medical? They might prefer Baleba on the basis that he’s seemed to stay fit even though his progress has halted somewhat in the last year

26th July 2026 at 3:06 pm #251398Seems to be a quite a few who wouldn’t mind Baleba if he could be got on the cheap which seems unlikely. From what i seen last year i wouldn’t take the gamble. It seems for whatever reason they don’t fancy Kone otherwise they could have got the deal done already.

26th July 2026 at 3:27 pm #251401With the money from Tielemans Villa have signed Wolves Gomes. Who’s done the better deal? They also signed Manzambi for a club record deal.

26th July 2026 at 3:43 pm #251402Emery is a draw, Garmacho (still a cunt) said one of the reasons he wanted the move to Villa, apart from Chelsea not wanting him anymore, was that he spoke to Emery and was convinced that he was the coach who could restore his confidence

26th July 2026 at 5:45 pm #251407Itβs a strange thing whenever i find myself agreeing with @Happy π€£π€£β¦ Heaven is definitely not sloww.
As for stalling the progress of both Heaven and Yoro i did mention it many times that Carrick had already done that with his constant preference for Martinez and Maguire regardless of the performance of either Heaven or Yoro. And the same will continue this season; so they might as well just sign one experienced CB.

26th July 2026 at 6:24 pm #251410Maguire was arguably the best CB in the PL last season Dee, even cunts like Carragher agree. Yep, he makes mistakes but heβll start the season mate, itβs up to Heaven and Yoro to seize their opportunities. But I recall both of them made their fair share of mistakes last season. We could do with another CB no doubt, but it wonβt happen.
