Transfer window thoughts

Villa 2 – 2 Sunderland; Two points definitely dropped today.
I intimated in the preview yesterday, that I have a lot of time for Sunderland as a club, but I saw nothing to suggest that the team are at best nothing more than relegation candidates. Which is what makes today’s…

Crystal Palace – Villa; Tough game, this, I reckon.
Palace up next then and they did quite well last season having finished 10th, didn’t they? I quite fancy them to be a bit of a surprise package this season; well at least a package that might see them…

Bacuna signs a new five year contract; What to think?
I like Leandro Bacuna. He’s a decent player, who gets forward quite nicely at times and can bang a decent cross in. But I’m not convinced he’s a winger, as he doesn’t really go past the man in the traditional…

Gabby looking to establish a dream partnership with Gestede; it isn’t going to happen
So as above really. Here’s the link as to what was said by Gabby in the Daily Mail and it all sounds great. Except that in my opinion, it’s seriously flawed. Gabby talks about how Gestede is the perfect sort…

Villa 0 – 1 Man utd; An expected result?
That was as poor a Villa – Man Utd game as I can recall, and I’ve seen a few. So what went wrong? I’d suggest not a lot really. Both teams were fairly poor and obviously not quite up to…
