I believe £20 million would be money well spent. Just a shame we didn’t go in for him 18 months back!! Similarly fast forward 18 mths onto 6/7 2021, it’s also very possible some of the names we’ve been linked with will also be going for around the £20 million mark. History could well repeat itself.

Jakubclaret

Not really going to matter whether I’m proved right or wrong though is it ? My view is based is however based on the logic that he has not got himself fit / sharp enough to play in more than 2 years though. I doubt he was turning out much for the Chelsea u23s when he couldn’t get near their bench e...

Jakubclaret

Possibly he will improve against lesser teams but I don’t think the rest of the Villa midfield / team were being criticised for not being fit - whereas Drinkwater was pretty universally by everyone. Thing is when was the last time he was match fit ? 3 years ago ? It's wise to reserve judgement for ...

Nothing like Barton , Barton was playing regularly Only because Barton got the opportunity to, if you don't get picked you don't get that same opportunity, as other posters have said we don't know what SD witnessed on the training ground & maybe a valid reason exists, he had a stinker yesterday as ...

Jakubclaret

But clearly he was not match fit - as yesterday proved. And when he did play for us he was worse than the rest of our midfield - against City and Sunderland. Even for the u23s he was not our best midfielder when I saw him. Not sure what Dyche could have done. Maybe we should not have signed him but...

If Brownhill is someone who can play central or wide that to me would suggest we see him as a replacement for Hendrick, rather than someone who will come in and play instead of Cork or Westwood. Time will tell I suppose, have to get it done first! If it doesn't happen, you can guarantee if he is ra...

Jakubclaret

Correct. Southampton are a much better team than us and playing well. Unless something goes badly wrong there, (e.g. Ings gets injured) then they should finish mid-table along with Watford. (if they were to beat Wolves at home this weekend then they could be up to 8th.) Realistically (IMO), it's No...

Jakubclaret

Yep - you're right. Don't know why I recalled it being a draw!! So almost a perfect weekend for results then, (esp, as our goal difference could have taken a real hammering.) You also forgot to mention Southampton unexpectedly winning at Leicester or maybe you don't consider them to be 1 of the rel...

Jakubclaret

I think Sean must have had a argument with him & when he arrived with a reputation from the achievements at Leicester & coming from a big club he simply didn't fit in, Sean & the players didn't like him, the nightclub incident was a excuse incited by him creating friction. He's a good player for the...

i think lots of us were delighted that DD was crap because (A) we knew it all along and this appears to galvanise that opinion, and (B) because he was part of a Villa team who are relegation candidates (as we are) who just got tubbed.

Suspected it all along.

Jakubclaret

Strange decision to throw Drinky in right from the start. Why? Against man City was always going to be a difficult task, tonight with the form man City showed, you could have played a far better midfielder & still lost albeit by a lesser scoreline, seems to be a ingrained institutionalised fear of ...

How on earth are Man City so far behind Liverpool in the league?

Inconsistency, world beaters on the day & also capable of getting beat by Norwich, they haven’t turned up often enough & dropped silly points throughout the course whereas Liverpool have been unstoppable.

We'll see, like I say judge him after a run of games.

Agree completely, a debut against Man City is not the deciding factor, away to Brighton after, games like that you’ll see a impact if there is 1.

Jakubclaret

It's a weird decline. At one point he was actually a very important cog in our attacking play. His delivery was improving and both he/ward were excellent at supporting midfield and keep the back 4 solid. I might be alone in this but I'd say keep him in the side. Taking him straight out again will j...

In the short term, if you're able, helping him get his driving license would get him a " life skill " that'll open up many more possibilities for him work wise ... best of luck to him !

My son is 19 and has been let go from his job due to lack of work.

Physically very fit and I think he has a good...

I wear a G Shock Solar and a Fitbit Inspire for everyday use, happy with both and they are often too smart for their own good!

Jakubclaret

He'd be a excellent addition if a big if he stays fit & gets a sustainable run of games injury free, I'm surprised he's not gone out on loan, with beneteke possibly villa bound he might stay put. Since his excellent run of form at Sunderland the treatment room as been the norm.

Jakubclaret

That seems a very strange conclusion to draw. Are you assuming that all those "northern working class areas" - such as Burnley - that voted predominantly "leave" and have just swung away from Labour are "Royalist" strongholds? I doubt you'll find any evidence to support that. It's known amongst som...

As morrissey once said - they are professional benefit scroungers, if they all disappeared tomorrow for good I don't think the majority would miss them.

Jakubclaret

All depends on what you want it for . It’s touch screen which rules it out for me . When you’re in dirt and mud or wearing gloves touch screen is no good . Those big buttons are easier . If it’s for everyday fitness it should be ok. Without owning 1, I understand, ideal for clean warm environments ...

I got the Garmin Vivoactive 3 from John Lewis last week for £130 with a discount through Mrs's work (was £136 at the time)

Is the initial feedback impressive or is it too early to say?

Jakubclaret

If your definition of a “better” player is that someone who makes 2 assists against Ross County and Rotherham is a better player than someone with one assist against Arsenal or Chelsea then you might end up being correct. I was joking, it wouldn't be fair with Scott Sinclair playing in a lower leag...

For Premier League football I think it will be an honourable nil nil draw between them. But if there is going to be a narrow winner it will definitely be Lennon !

Irrespective of any FACTORS going forward, as a sportsman bet was the proposition to determine this.

Jakubclaret

Please tell us what Lennon has actually done apart from one good game last season ??? I know, I felt that way should have included that in my reply, regarding any comparison with him & Scott Sinclair, I'm more than willing to have a sportsman bet with anyone irrespective of any factors who'll be th...

Agree mate. I don't really think he was lying but mistaken yes. My point about lying is that this is yet another avenue open to the myriad of cheating footballers who's only eye is their on the points bonus in their wages. If we continue to have games so relatively easilly stopped for alleged racis...

Only wanted to export so that I could manipulate the data myself in Excel etc and get some interesting charts, and so that I could pass onto my medical team. It does show all the data on the app.

So a recognised dedicated app is available on google play & iTunes for this watch.

It depends what you want to use it for? Is it for recording fitness activity, if so, what? Or is it for notifications from your phone?

All of them things, I'm not interested in a esim 1, bluetooth operating radius is sufficient, thanks.

Jakubclaret

Hi everybody, I'm thinking of buying 1 & to be honest I'm not that familiar with them, I believe most work with android/apple, my budgets about £100, I'm just looking for recommendations ideally from people who use them & then I can do my own research before buying, thanks.

A slight improvement? He must have improved rapidly since I last saw him if he's anywhere near as good as Lennon. I'm not sure CT to be honest I was just judging him when he was at Palace on loan from Chelsea as I recall whilst on loan he had a blinding game against us think it was the last game of...

Jakubclaret

Somebody like bolaise would be more realistic had a bad injury at Everton & lost his place loaned out somewhere, but if SD could get him to replicate his Palace form could be a find, not sure if available.

Jakubclaret

All about opinions but I just don’t see what evidence there is that Sinclair could do that based on what he has done in the last couple of years in a league significantly lower in standard than the Premier League. We couldn't be certain 1 way or the other & either way the improvement would be sligh...

We need to improve the first 11 and not sign more ageing dross to never play so on that basis, no I wouldn’t go near him, I’m pretty sure he hasn’t been a Celtic regular for 2 Years. I think everybody would desire that, but realistically the way things are less attractive propositions need to be co...

Jakubclaret

Sorry I thought you were advocating we should sign him with you starting a thread about him, saying he was decent and then mentioning the fact he had played champions league football to justify him being better than Lennon. My bad. He probably would be a slight improvement on lennon in terms of mor...

So a player sees someone (is it now just an individual rather than a group?) making monkey gestures from 15/20 yards away is conclusive, but cameras covering seated fans isn’t because they could hide or blend in?

Possibly anybody other than Dyche he may well have done.

Given that nobody else heard it, no other player heard it and the TV microphones didn’t pick it up, they have cameras covering every fan and got lip readers in to review the footage - perhaps he was genuinely mistaken? Cameras covering every fan is contentious to say the least you can easily move o...
