  1. Given that we now own Germany does that mean he’ll be eligible to play for us?
  2. Wouldn’t mind him coming in for our players, as long as the fee is right- we need to sell. The only snakey thing imo would be to sign Goldson on a pre-contract
  3. For us younger bears, anyone able to give a bit of insight into what type of mentality GVB had as a player?
  4. Agree mate, but that's just the way the game is. I think the highest compensation ever paid for a manager is Bayern paying £20m for nagelsmann, which is strange when you consider that a manager has a greater effect on a team than any player, yet teams will fork out much more to get a player.
  5. That 2-3m is a false report from England. Seemingly the figure for Gerrard is Minimum £4.5mil plus more for his back room staff. Any release clause will have been negotiated into the contract by Gerrard and his agent.
  6. Could actually be a blessing in disguise. Is there any chance the compensation will allow us to keep players we would have had to otherwise sell in January to balance the books and also a new manager to give us the freshness that we have been lacking all season? If we get the appointment right it could actually be great timing. That's a big if though.
  7. You no seen the accounts mate? We need to be maximising every revenue stream
  8. If he now does a u-turn and stays and this tough run of games don’t go to plan… it could get pretty toxic.
  9. Wouldn't mind Lampard personally, might see an improvement in our attacking play with the aforementioned 'taking off the handbreak'. Knows what it's like to win things with big expectation and knows what Rangers are about. And hates the Tims. Him or GVB for me
  10. Obviously gutted if he does go, but goes with my best wishes. Delivering 55 before the 10 and what he's done in Europe is something I will be forever grateful for. He's restored standards back to our club. Yeah it's shit that it's in the middle of the season, but at the end of the day if he does have ambitions of managing in the EPL before Klopp leaves in 2024, he won't get a better opportunity than this. Gerrard needs a big fan base imo, and I think villa are the only big club in the prem that don't have some sort of rivalry with Liverpool, and they have the 4th richest owners in the league with a quality core of players. Just hope the board can make the right appointment, we have a squad more than capable of delivering 56, and we might even benefit from the freshness of a new manager- I think we can all agree things have gone a bit stale.
  11. I actually don't think there is much of a gulf in terms of pure ability, I just think all of their players are playing at the very top of their game due to confidence and their manager. The majority of our players have the ability to be performing at a much higher level than they are imo.
