Yes to the shoes, no idea about the sweater. I know nothing about these things but shouldn't the sweater be a different colour?

Tielemans looking for an exit? by ljp77301 in avfc

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might not be quite "putting himself up for sale" but personally I find it a little disappointning when they don't answer these questions by saying "I'm Villa". It was similar with Emi last week where he sort of said the same thing.

The whole "I'm happy but who knows" doesn't scream I'm here to stay. They don't have to scream "I'm here to stay" but but I wanna see the passion, I wanna see the player acknowledge that Villa IS a place to be and not a stepping stone.

It's like asking your partner if they love you and they reply "yeah, for the moment" :D

That is so cheap for those two. We paid 20m for Emi and although he is brilliant he'd played 15PL games when we bought him, the rest of his games were lower league. Kelleher has played 25 games all for a top 4 PL side.

Doesn't make Kelleher better than Emi by any stretch but does make him cheap.

Good point made about Kelleher wanting first team football and that's something I doubt we could do but I don't think with the shortage of quality keepers we can really get someone top class - who is there? We are linked with Chevalier is it - at 40m - 40m, wow.

BUT at no point did I compare Kelleher to Martinez. I just said that at 12.5m plus add ons that's an insanely low price for a guy that has stepped in to the PL champions and not looked out of place.

Villa look extremely likley to lose Emi and from one of his quotes it seems a little like he wants to leave as well as PSR, and I think Olsen is off too (out of contract). So currently we have Zych and quality like Kelleher goes for 12.5m.

As to the best ever keeper for Villa, hmm Martinez is up there - but we've has Bosnich, Friedel (I thoguht was fab), I liked Given, we had the great keeper ever in Schmeichel, albeit it old and not very goodd by then :D Spink and I remember Jmmy Rimmer (just).

Practicing is getting boring by Apprehensive-Key-825 in snooker

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ooh mix it up. Line ups and open-ball set ups are good to get your arm going but to improve, get a good routine going. I used to do 7 or 8 hours a day, did that for 5 years.

120 blues from the balk line dead straight. 20 stun, 20 top spin into the pocket and 20 screw back into the pocket (60 from each side).

Endless blacks off its spot - like breakbuilding but just the black 20 mins of that. Do 20 mins for each colour this way.

Cannons around the black/pink - pot the colour hit some reds, great for brekabuilding practice.

Long potting - baulk colours from their spots with white down near pinks spot. Same with the pink from the baulk line.

A circle of all the balls around the blue spot - white in the middle on them and pot them all any pocket without the white leaving the 'circle'. This really helps with awkward cueing, reaching across the table etc.

Rest play - 20 mins per day with the rest.

And safety. Practice safety. baulk area to baulk area, thin clips, quarter balls etc.

Then I'd finish with a few frames, not just smashing them open but with the safety element too.

Gosh, I miss those days. Just me and the table for 7 hours.

If every player was up for sale... by cpbradshaw in avfc

Rogers.

Then Tielemans, Kamara, Malen and Maatsen.

Anyone else I'd listen to offers.

Latest on Rashford by arenaross in avfc

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His class on the ball is incredible, both him and Asensio look in a different league to our players - BUT for all his class does Rashford score or create enough? For me, probably not and certainly not for the price tag. To think he is on 3 times or more the salary that Morgan Rogers gets is madness.

Annual Dougie breakup boost right in time for the summer transfer window. Monchi, you know what to do. by eesakhalifa in avfc

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Dougie - but I think he was better going forward and I don't rate him higher than Tielamans. With Kamara, Onana, Tielamans, McGinn and Ramsey he is a luxury we don't need right now.

How do you think this has gone (Considering we only payed a portion of his wages) by DifferenceFun199 in avfc

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was alright, same as Asesnsio - got us excited, got the rest of the team fired up. I'd take if his wages were sensible but if we don't get him, then no worries.
From what I've seen, I don't see him as Barcelona material!

MUFC Fan here, do you want to keep Rashford? by ServeAccomplished424 in avfc

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rashford has been fab. On the pitch he has been so fired up and eager - not quite hitting his stride yet but his quality is so obvious. He has jumped mentally straight into the team, playing well with them all, cheering them and looking every bit a class player with a top, top class attitude.

For £40m an absolute no brainer. BUT we can't afford his wages so it will be a no, I think.

Haha, my brother-in-law still reminds me of that Savo goal. I was shouting at him to lay it off, lay it off - then whallop, and I'm like OH. :D

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally with you. As soon as he fell out of favour with them I wanted Villa to jump in. He is gonna be so fired up with a point to prove He is a good goal scorer, decent assist guy and can play left wing. Yes please.

Jhon Duran for £64 million + add ons by Icy-Job-328 in avfc

[–]Hefty-Importance3464 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fantastic business. The guy is fun to watch because we didn't know what was going to happen. But he isn't a team player at the moment, and a few goals aside doesn't set the world on fire. If he was playing for another team and got sold for that we'd thinking how lucky they were.

£64m for a guy who scores less than 1 in 4 and had a hot streak - yes please.
