Ontop of parachute payments they are also likely to have 60+ from Grealish and offers for McGinn and Mings. All depends how you spend it though. A return to signings like McCormack and Hogan and it wont be as easy as the disparity in budgets would suggest it should be.

Think we need to be more conscious of who comes up and who stays up. Our goal is to better 3 teams over the course of the season. If Wycombe, Luton, Barnsley and Rotherham are all in our league next year I wont care who comes down. They are just as likely to get tonked by the relegated PL teams...

Totally agree

Once again, this is all really great info but it does nothing is disprove my point. Grant Holt was sold to Wigan for 1.6 million, not relevant to the "millions" DoD has been touting.

Apologies, I can get like that when I'm right. I simply stated that Strikers who are 30+ with only 11 premier league goals don't go for "millions". It seems you thought Rickie Lambert fitted into that category, to which I pointed out that you were wrong as he had scored close to 30 PL goals at...

Not sure what any of this has to do with my statement below, but its good to know you can use google maybe more practice with the calculator is needed. Strikers who are 30+ with only 11 premier league goals don't go for "millions"

The only talks that should happen now are around the indemnity, if they are willing to drop it we will continue discussions when we know fans will be allowed back. Let them sweat it out not knowing where their next penny is coming from and the knowledge that they've effectively caved on their...

15 in 12/13, 13 in 13/14 then was sold before 14/15. 38 premier league goals before being sold to Liverpool. Far greater pedigree than Pukki. Thanks for your input.

Sorry for letting facts get in the way.

He'd scored close to 30 premier league goals, but a valiant effort.

Granted he started well, 2 in his last 13 after 9 in 16 tells me he's been worked out. Strikers who are 30+ with only 11 premier league goals don't go for "millions"

I'm not sure they will, he's 30 and has been found out to not be up to it in the prem. He'll be a Championship player next season with Norwich and he'll probably do quite well.

On the other hand you could say the likes of Villa and West Ham are more likely to have their squads pulled apart by selling premier league quality players. The likes of Norwich are Watford are more likely to keep their players as they don't have the standouts such as Grealish, McGinn, Mings...

Exactly

Nobody on here has said they hate Villa? I think you are mistaking excitement for hatred, or misquoting to make your point carry more weight, but that's not like you now is it.... Who are you excited to play next season?

I don't think anyone's that bothered with what they think though, most understand on a list of local derby's for Villa we are probably 4th out of 5 that they care about. People just want something to be excited about and playing the biggest club in the midlands for the first time in nearly 20...

Same on the west side of Coventry, the want to play them and the enjoyment at watching them struggle is very real. Never understood the "rivalry" with Leicester, never met a Leicester fan in my life.

Villa home and away would create a real buzz around the city, whether you agree with the "rivalry" or not, it'll be the first fixture most fans look for when they are released. As for getting shown up by them, Mings McGinn and Grealish will likely go and they will just be another top 6...

Pask, Allen and Godden also

I call it being prepared and having a squad as long as one of Peter Crouch's arms
