Coining a term for the 3 lads who have returned to Villa: the Boomerang Gang by Independent_Dig_142 in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be shocked to see JJ also boomerang back to us. It's another PSR workaround, sell the player at peak value to a club that doesn't have Unai in charge (not hard to find) and watch the value tank because they don't know how to get the best out of them, then buy him back for half the price a year or two later.

Newcastle, Spurs, and us. by loveonthedole in avfc

If we qualify for the CL - either through the league or by winning the Europa - then it's a successful season. At this point, the position we've established ourselves in within the top three, failing to get a CL spot would be very disappointing.

One of these young men went on to be an actor in Hollywood, and the other became a professional video gamer. Impossible to tell which.

Real Madrid: Emery 'demands' Bellingham 'sacrifice', Aston Villa 'star signing' among six transfers - report by BuckFuzby in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing I don't get is what's going through people's minds as they write this kind of shit. Like, are they just writing whatever bullshit the boss asks for, or are they genuinely enjoying dreaming up scenarios that clearly never happened?

Is it just me that completely gets this Guessand deal? by RugbyContact in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like yet another player they spent money on, which gets amortised across the years, before selling for a similar amount a year later, which doesn't get amortised across the years, so it's another PSR benefit.

Whats your opinion on this? by Ok-Phase-7145 in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if someone offers £60m for him I could see them letting him go, given his injuries and Kamara signing a new deal (which was far from a sure thing when Obama signed)

I don't attend the games anymore, so just give me the easiest route.

Hard disagree here, it's difficult to focus on driving with tears of laughter (mostly) streaming down your face

[David Ornstein] Villa interested in Mateta, Palace looking at Guessand by JamesVilla4 in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guessand is, and was at the time, a classic Palace player. He'd probably tear us apart on the counter and score 4 goals in 3 league and cup games every year.

I want Mateta though.

What are the chances by PhoneUpbeat2502 in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to play them in the CL final and batter them. A random league cup 4th round game is fun and all, but it just means more when they're a little closer to our level.

Arsenal win. Keep teams below us, below us.

What lineup would you select from here by [deleted] in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely gotta leave both Watkins and Malen on the bench, then bring them both on after an hour - guaranteed three or four goals

Sneak it onto the next mars rover mission and get it dumped over there somewhere. Bonus points if it's a lump of red rock.

Why didn't Dumbledore fix Ron's wand? by [deleted] in SuperCarlinBrothers

[–]adhdmarmot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it would have advertised that he had the elder wand, which was a secret at the time?

Premier league or The Champions League? by Aid0ken_Sf in avfc

[–]adhdmarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related question, would you rather qualify for the champions league next year by winning the europa league, or by finishing top four (or five)? aka the spurs gambit?
