Yeah in fairness unless we're moving someone on he's not needed.
I've just always liked him as a player and he offers something a little different going forward to what we have now.

This rhetoric about Brum helping us out is a red herring. We paid more than we could have elsewhere and they needed the money just as much as we needed a stadium to use.
Since their takeover they’ve become the most insufferable pricks, thinking they’re some massive club and the best thing since sliced bread…. They’re not.
Personally, do not give a toss about Villa, before my time. Do hate Leicester with a passion though and have a dislike of Sheff Utd.

Looking at those ins and outs, on paper it looks to me like maybe 6, 7 or 8 teams are fighting for the one remaining playoff spot. Middlesborough look strong to pick up that 5th spot.

I agree. Their fans are acting like they've won the Championship this year, and like their players are of premier league quality.

Now this windows done. What’s the target for the summer.
Assuming MVE is off, as such we would need two RBs who can also play RWB.
One LB to replace JDS (also needs to be able to LWB).
One CM to replace Eccles and/or Sheaf. Assume we extend Allen for a year
One RW to take over from Saka.

Why should Eccles be going? He’s just signed a new contract in November.

Good post, thanks,
I would assume another CB would be on the shopping list. If we stick with a back 5 I think we need another head, if we revert to a back 4 I think we will look for a more experienced option and will move on one of the current 4 - Binks being the most likely option seeing as he is the top earner in the division. We are pretty well stocked in the forwards but a lot may depend on if Haji stays & I could also see Norm making some noise if he struggles for minutes.

May have already been said but Tahirović did get a move, just not to us so Rexo was half right

Before your time maybe, but not before mine.
VILLA will always be the most hated club amongst any Cov fan I would say above the age of 30.
Leicester, Derby, Sunderland all hated, but Villa on top of that list by a mile.

All depends who goes doesn’t it?
Assuming no one and a blank cheque (both unlikely TBF) I think LB and CM (8) are the positions I’d focus on. I’d still like RB cover and an upgrade at CB if we can’t make 4ATB work with this squad.
But any of Sheaf, MvE, Wright could go, even Rudoni if he keeps up his form. And we might get silly bids for say Thomas or someone that changes that.

Burnley, Hull, Middlesbrough & Sheff Utd had phenomenal transfer windows

Still feel like Hull are just a collection of players rather than a team, same energy as Watford for me. Talented individuals but zero cohesion.
We shall see

Burnley, yes good with Edwards doing a lot of heavy lifting. Sheffield Utd come out the window stronger for sure. Boro have had a good window but its a risk losing your best striker, i don't think Iheanacho replaces those goals. Hull just looks like classic Hull scattergun approach to me.

you mean similar to how Grimes did?
I think if a bid came in that was sensible we wouldn’t think twice, and he’s probably 5th or even 6th choice at the minute
and Lampard wasn’t on board when he signed either, which may mean something or nothing

Not for this 63 year old, I hate Leicester & even have a brother who supports them. I don't mind Villa at all but don't like Birmingham.

We turned our hate on the Villa as they were the only team in the top division for ages that we played. I think the older lads have always hated Fester more, its the only team ive seen our fans go on the pitch to brawl with at Highfield road.

Nah, over 30 and the "hate" of Villa was always us. They never seemed to have their hearts in it.

That and I think Bolton beating Man United on the same day as the Villa game, Man U already being champions? Or have I made that up? Had we held on against Villa and Man U done their job, we may still be in the Prem!

Bolton weren't in the PL that season, Man Utd lost at home to Derby who ended up 6 points above us so it may have been them

Had we signed Hartson earlier instead of Richardson fucking about for a couple of weeks we probably would have survived

If I'm correct he failed his medical, and then we decided to take the chance anyway.
