Think Ade would be here if he was coming; think Spurs must have persuaded him to stay Don't believe Berbatov will come; apparently Petrov recommended him and he's been talking over the phone to Villa but they've said we want to talk face to face before saying we're interested, and I suspect we're not.
Tim's said it'll take time to gell and I think it will. The important thing is to get some points on board to take the pressure off, so I reckon he'll put out as strong a defence as he can, one he's confidence in, and I think that means:
Hutton Richards Clark Amavi
possibly with Sanchez in front, although not sure if he's match fit yet.
It's going to be exciting, and possibly worrying as there's a chance we'll stutter before getting going. But there are positive signs. Sinclair's hat-trick today was pure class and he's going to be a big player for us. If Gestede can hit the ground running then we've some fire-power up front, while Ayew was very lively today; he's a tricky player and will get us free kicks. There some cracking passing going on in midfield, although I think we need at least one of Gil/Grealish/Cole playing to add creativity; seems only Cole is fit at the moment.
Role on Bournemouth Looking for a win; we need it.
Horrible first game really.....likely to be warm tichy ground and 1200 fans stuck in the corner.
Would rather have played them after Xmas than first game
Will be there so hope im wrong.

And as a lot may have guessed with the way things have gone a takeover back on.
I don't think there will be any take over soon. Just think we're spending money we have from benteke and Delph plus the usual extra. We have to avoid the relegation scrap this year. If Lerner wants to sell he has to make us look like a more attractive asset. We need positively around Villa park again.
Andy, when you say you've bought well, which players are you referring to?
Gestede is a complete gamble as he's never even played top flight football. As for Ayew and the French midfielder you've bought, have you ever even seen them play a single competitive match?

Veretout is a fantastic footballer, well he us in France, likes to pass it about and a lot will go through him, great signing
Hello Cox
For definite Gestede Amavi Richards and Gueye, Veretout has a great future it is said.
Ayew we will have to wait and see
Bunn will be back up....You would hope, Crespo who knows.
Having played in the french league of course I have not seen the three of them in any competitive matches.
The article does say I think
What I think is exciting is that Sherwood seems to be looking at a different type of player than we have had in previous seasons.
I think under the previous regimes we would have been in the market for Lambert, Huddlestone and others of that type. Good players but have been as good as they are going to get.
Benteke and Delph are big losses, but he seems to want players that have something to prove. It appears he has said well this lot haven't got us anywhere the last few years, so we are starting again.
I am particularly pleased we have signed Amavi and Gestede.
I don't know much about the two French midfielders, but Gueye has looked good in pre-season.
Its a risk, but one well worth taking.
I personally wouldn't sign Adebayor.
Let's be honest it had to decking change as we been sheite for ages, this overhaul is exactly what we needed. Even losing Benteke yeah a huge liss but we relied on him too much imo
Dead nervous; we could fall flat on our faces for the first few games. It's almost like we're a promoted team.
But we're not a promoted team. Sherwood has retained the best players from last year except Benteke and Delph, and the new signings are just what's needed. I think a lot of work will have been done behind the scenes which we haven't really seen in the pre-season matches.
Nervous are on edge but logic says we should do pretty well. If we scrape top half then I'll be happy with that. For this year. Plus some good cup runs.

I'm amazed to see Timmy's management skill improve so dramaticaly without a ball being kicked in anger.
If the pre-season was longer then Tim could win the CL.
