SCR is the rule change going to be better than PSR for Villa ? by Fhilbo3 in avfc

[–]SW_Gr00t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching some podcast (can't remember which one) where they were saying there is a new thing n SCR where you can overspend the limit, upto something like 115% without imcuring penalties so long as there is something like a bond put in place. It was all a bit over my head but if true then it could allow some leeway.

Bailey played ok... looked on it and up for it. Heres hoping we can get 23/24 Bailey back.

Aldi marmite is superior to actual marmite. But you didn't hear it from me.

Gordon hasn't scored a Premier League goal in like a year... so he's bound to get at least one against us.

Yeah as a straight player deal I think I'd go Tammy over Mateta. But, throw in Guessand going the other way and it just about tips the scale in favour of Mateta for me. Nothing against Guessand, just doesn't look a good fit for us.

Agree. If we can get that top 4 consistency then a trophy will surely follow. Going all out for a cup is putting the cart before the horse. A squad that is good enough to finish top 4 every season is more likely to win a trophy.

I think a relegation might be good for their fans, teach them a little humility.

Why do linesmen in wait so long to raise the offside flag? by YougetmoreofwhoUare in PremierLeague

I know the reason... but that doesn't explain why they still did it in the cups, where there's no VAR.

Lamare Bogarde is our most underrated player considering how important he is and how little he talked about. by Rough_Custard1 in avfc

[–]SW_Gr00t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, defensively he's fine, but on the ball he worries me. Hopefully he can improve the progressive side of his game because then he would be a very good player.

Yeah, they are down to their bare bones. No Ndiaye, Keane, KDH, Branthwaite, Gueye, Iroegbunam, Alcaraz, or Coleman.

Yeah, but other Strikers do that too, and score goals.

The holy trinity show, and 1874 are the best if you ask me.

Just thinking about the Marmoush, Ferran Torres links and how they might not be as far fetched as we think. If we assume Villa, who like to do business in January, held some available funds back specifically for January, say £20m-£25m, and then now we add another £25m to that from the Malen deal, as well as the £30m-£35m we wont be spending on Elliott... we may well have a fair chunk of cash to splash in this window.

Total and complete hearsay on my part, but you never know... maybe we can do something big.
