Fixtures, Eric Lichaj, Darren Bent and the reminder that the game is well and truly broken
Yes, I think I knew the fixtures came out today, much like I thought I knew we had a new shirt coming out last week. Sorry, but neither really interest me that much. We have known for weeks who we were going to play and I for one don't actually think it matters when we play them, we've got to…Read More -
What's going on down the Villa?
This isn't really a serious question because we've all wanted this since time began and it's actually quite refreshing. Today we've confirmed the signing of Nicklas Helenius and talk coming out of Spain is a deal is as good as done for Antonio Luna. Is this what we've been waiting for all these years? Nobody knows but it is nice…Read More -
Antonio Luna deal close?
According to Marca we've agreed a deal to sign left back Antonio Luna from Sevilla for €2,000,000 while he gets paid €1,700,000 over three years, or to be a little more specific, just over €10,000 a week or £8,500 per week in proper money. Naturally, if he has a good season his profile will raise and then he will be…Read More -
New away kit might be a little hard to swallow right now, but it might get better
Well, that has been a fairly busy week then. We've signed Denmark international defender Jores Okore and Netherlands Under-21 midfielder Leandro Bacuna for undisclosed fees, but thought to be about £4mn for Okore and £1mn for Bacuna. And yes, you can be forgiven for thinking 'who', but this is clearly the way this manager wants to do it. It's also…Read More -
No debt, Dafabet and Nicklas Helenius
According to reports this morning, Nicklas Helenius is set to sign for Aston Villa. And I know, this is just another one of those to expect; a player that not many people have actually heard of. And it is just speculation, but they're writing like it's going to happen. There is also talk that we're very interested in Jores Okore.…Read More -
First signing of the summer: Aleksandar Tonev
Aston Villa make the first signing of the summer after Aleksandar Tonev agreed terms and signed on the dotted line. For those that didn't know, Tonev is 23 years old and is classed as winger. He has played the last couple of seasons with Lech Poznań and contributed with goals and assists. He is what is quickly turning into, a…Read More -
Bids and rumours: Younès Belhanda
I'm taking a few days off of work and while sitting here in the sun I'm getting alerts and emails about bids and rumours. It always happens when I go away for a few days. First up, we've apparently made a bid for Younès Belhanda who according to Wiki is described as a player who possesses "vision, technique and intelligent…Read More -
Kerching: Benteke does it again, some rumours and the summer
There is a talk and talk and hope. Benteke did well last night though didn't he. That should put a few million on whatever offers come in for him, if any do. And we shouldn't pretend that offers wont be coming in for him. Or that he'll not be surprised. I'm sure it will be very hard to say no…Read More -
A long quiet summer, some monthly statistics and players leaving
There is a predictable unpredictability about the summer break that as Aston Villa fans, we know all about. And this is going to be a time when we write about specific players, have a season review or three (if you have one, send it in, if you'd like to see it published in the site) and then season predictions. But…Read More -
Cheeky pint, Benteke quotes, a broke Dunne and a trip to Germany
Petrov has taken a roll at the club assisting Gordon Cowans from next season. I for one think that is nice and I'm sure everyone else does too. I'm not entirely sure how it is going to work because Petrov doesn't need the job and if he is serious about coaching, assisting Cowans isn't going to be where he wants…Read More -
We might not see these two wearing claret and blue again
Wigan was Wigan. Win, lose or draw we had survived and while we didn't completely play like a side that was more interested in the beach, we didn't play like a side that was fighting for anything that important, but nobody can be blamed for that. It was the last day of school. And this horrid and frightening season is…Read More -
Aston Villa at Wigan: Last day of season but transfer window opens at midnight
I for one am really pleased that the season is over and that we have one game where the result doesn't actually matter. It's just the football. It's just this season (although I seem to remember writing this last season). We've had a horrid couple of seasons and hopefully now we have reason to be hopeful. Next season I think…Read More -
Guzan is my player of the season, Benteke knows and tip of the hat
It is easy to have an opinion on something. You could even say I've made a living on it the last ten years, but it's really important to remember that it is just opinion. And this isn't a post where I'm setting myself up to say it's just an opinion. Sometimes we use numbers, the probability of something happening based…Read More -
Would be nice to see Arsenal not lose to Wigan tomorrow night
That was a hard defeat to take because I'm not sure we deserved to lose. We played good football, had opportunities and with Ramires getting sent off just before half time, it feels like we should have got more. But it was almost as if the day was set up for Lampard and with Benteke getting sent off, it provided…Read More -
Aston Villa v Chelsea: Form, class and something we can control
It's a big match today and that isn't even including the circus that will come with it for many reasons. It's big because I think we can get something from it, as long as we don't get distracted. The last time we got distracted was against Chelsea and look what happened. Today isn't the day for that. A win today…Read More -
Will Aston Villa stay up this season?
It's a big question and the truth is, it's possible we wont. Mathematically we are still in the mix, along with the likes of Wigan, Newcastle, Norwich, Sunderland, Southampton, Stoke and Fulham. And that was from a quick scan of the table, there might be more and I might even have put someone in there that can't go down, but…Read More
