It’s in the bag and confirmed by Tony Pulis. Well, I don’t know what to think here. He seems a decent player, but I’m concerned that he hasn’t had many games under Tony Pulis and when he has started, it’s…

Luton 3-1 Villa; I’m worried
I was going to post straight after the game, but I was raging and embarrassed at the same time, so decided to have a think about it and come back later. I still can’t quite work out what happened, but…

Luton-Villa; we should go for it.
I’ve seen certain views that suggest that the last thing we want is cup runs. I quite simply think that’s a terrible opinion and my attitude is that you should play every single game with a view to winning. The…

Sheffield Weds 1-0 Villa; Unlucky overall
Yes, unlucky. That’s the opinion I came away with after watching this one. The first half was very average stuff and frankly, it bored me to tears. We created nothing bar a weak Ayew header and I don’t think we…

It’s all happening down the Villa and at last a game!
Blimey, the news has come thick and fast today and I hardly know where to begin. The Sinclair deal looks about done with a fee in the region of £3-4 million, depending on what you read. I’d have been tempted…

McCormack practically signed and things moving
So Gana’s gone to Everton and Cieran Clark has gone to Newcastle in a move that I find more than a little strange. I know Newcastle have had their problems in defence, but Clark certainly didn’t strike me as the…

Villa 1-3 Boro; Should we be worried?
Straight off, I have to say I haven’t even seen the goals, let alone the highlights of this game. I’ve been up to my neck in it at a car plant shutdown, which has involved more than 12 hours a…

Guzan and Geuye are goners; time to deliver Mr Xia
Although I have my doubts about Tony Xia tweeting as much as he has been lately, it seems he’s being pretty much true to his word, when he said that there would be players leaving. Brad Guzan has undergone a…

Three or four players gone this week; Who though?
Tony Xia has been very chatty on Twitter this week, which can only be a good thing, although I have a nagging feeling it won’t last that long, because as is the way of things with Twitter, something will be…

Ayew to Hamburg, Guzan freebie to Boro, Villa sell out Sheff Weds and other stuff
I’ve been waiting a week since my last post for something more solid to happen, but sadly I’m reduced to speculation again. I’m sorry, but I find it difficult to wind myself up about speculation these days, as I’ve had…

Speculation; Players in and out
I’m sure most of you know I don’t go a bundle on speculation, as it’s mostly rubbish, but there’s nothing happening unless you want to see lots of pictures of players running about in training. I’m not into that either,…

New goalie signed? It seems so, but I’m underwhelmed.
According to the Birmingham Mail and other sites, the signing of Pierluigi Gollini from Verona is another one in the bag, with quotes from the player himself; “I am very happy for this opportunity”, Gollini said to Sky Italia. “I…

Reading’s Aaron Tshibola; A steal or a gamble?
By WG2K (Own work) [CC BY-SA 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)], via Wikimedia Commons If you believe “Get Reading”, it seems a deal to buy Reading’s 21-year-old midfielder Aaron Tshibola is pretty much in the bag. This is the lad who Jaap Stam…

Gabby’s latest comments; POLL
I see Gabby has come out with some interesting comments talking about how he’s 100% committed to the Villa cause and is promising to try 100% if he gets picked. Which is big of him, after his performance or lack…

All quiet; the lull before the storm? and Villa’s fine list.
I’ve been wanting to post something for a few days, but it’s been very quiet hasn’t it? I really couldn’t give a flying proverbial about what Jack Grealish has been doing on his holidays, for example, as long as he’s…
-
Tommy Elphick; A good first signing, POLL
The signing’s confirmed then and having read the stories about the three-year deal, I have to say I’m very encouraged. Everything seems to be backing up what we thought, in that he’s a good leader and it’s always pleasing when…

Xia talks the talk, Elphick to Villa and Riley a goner?
No doubt most of you have already read what Tony Xia had to say in his presser and it sounds good doesn’t it? He’s promised serious investment and even states that his aim is to be in the Champions League…
-
So Xia passed the “fit and proper” test. Will he pass the acid test?
So it’s a short and sweet video, with no sound, but it’s just the sort of thing I like to see. Anyone who says “Up the Villa” is okay by me. Tony Xia is confirmed as our new owner then…

Looks like Xia will be cleared for takeover
As per usual lately, you lot are well ahead of me when it comes to the latest news and even though you’ve already been commenting on it, this has to be good news and is worthy of an article. So,…

What do we need to move forward?
There’s a major lack of news lately and as you probably know, I have very little time for media stories speculating who we might be buying, as that’s all the vast majority of them are; stories. But there is one…
