There was a couple of decisions we had a bit of luck on for sure but we absolutely dominated them over the 2 legs.

End of the month, same as half of the league.

Think there's a bit of crossed wires, they might be willing to sell him (especially as they're starting to move away from wing-backs) but they're not about to pay up a 5 year contract only signed 6 months ago. The Athletic article doesn't say that at all as it talks about recouping funds...

I'd be very surprised if we had any serious interest at all, doesn't fit our model in the slightest.

I wouldn't be totally surprised by that or even having players negotiate xG & xA bonuses too. We already have players like De Bruyne using an analytics company rather than an agent to help him negotiate his new contract.

Couldn't believe they were longer odds than you guys, crazy that.

Just started assisting the first team at Notts County so might want to cut his teeth there first. Also, weren't there rumours of a bit of a personality clash between him & AV?

That's credit to Barnsley though really, they want to drag the game into being a battle. You can't deny some of the quality Swansea have & the game was decided by a piece of magic by the highest paid player in the league of course.

And even then it's total guesswork as the technology isn't capable of doing what's asked of it.

You've had a bee in your bonnet over him ever since he got involved with us... Personal issue?

Used to be, changed 4-5 years ago - can't remember when exactly.

Missed the incident but... The only way the opposition free-kick should be given in your half would be if you were in an offside position in the opponents half when the ball was played but actually received/interfered in your own half. If that makes sense? Only tends to happen when ball is...

Sounds about right.

Of course it is. They were at over £8m at last submitted accounts, that's definitely higher than the 3 promoted clubs (ours was £4.6m in same period). Probably not far off next lowest I'd guess though to be fair to them, great achievement, even with the fees that they've paid.

James, Hamer & O'Hare are the only ones with any chance & even then I'd say they all have massive question marks over them at this stage - hence why they're with us. As much as we (rightly) love the likes of Kelly & Godden for what they've done for us, I don't think any other Championship...

Agree. It's not like they don't have some pedigree. It's always difficult to know how it's going to transfer to a new country, new culture, different tactics, styles of play etc. Hell, a lot of domestic transfers that look great on paper don't work out before any of that is taken into account...

Not at all.

Signed his first pro deal last summer & is one of Villa's top prospects. Captains their U23s at 18yrs old & was in England U19 squad. No chance of a permanent if that's what you were hoping!

I think there's a player in there for sure but he needs some serious coaching to get him to where we need him to be.

Similar style to TAA, real athlete too.
