He is loved here by the fans and the owners.Villa fans don't rate their Manager at all, he could be gone by Xmas if they don't start well.

he seems like a guy that talks a lot, probably about himselfHe has said plenty
Other than you being a glass half empty, why don't you think we will sign anyone?Any movement today or is Txiki still twiddling his thumbs. Seriously though, I don't think we'll get anything done until the first game of the season, if we do at all.
We have already been busy, lots of kids brought in some for fairly high fees.Any movement today or is Txiki still twiddling his thumbs. Seriously though, I don't think we'll get anything done until the first game of the season, if we do at all.
Carlson Wagonlit?We have already been busy, lots of kids brought in some for fairly high fees.
New contract for Fern, Carlson signed up.
The big deals wait until the player holiday season is up, probably another 2 weeks
One major deal for us will set off other deals, with players leaving etc
No... the lad off Fresh Prince of Belair.Carlson Wagonlit?
Priced out of moves, if the asking price of Grealish and Kane doesn't budge, I can't see either of those joiningOther than you being a glass half empty, why don't you think we will sign anyone?

I'm not a gambling man so not in the market, but do you honestly think that we'll pay the asking price (circa £250m) for both players?Want £10,000 on it mate?
We don't even know what the asking price is for Grealish. If we get them both for around £200m that'd be grand. Outgoings will soak up a fair proportion of that.I'm not a gambling man so not in the market, but do you honestly think that we'll pay the asking price (circa £250m) for both players?
I wouldn't have a problem with either player, but -bearing in mind our transfer history since takeover - I'd be absolutely amazed (and rather disappointed) if we paid the asking price for either Kane or Grealish.
Levy wants £150m for Kane. That leaves £50m for Grealish.... Not happening. Villa can reasonably expect to get £65m+ for him in today's market.We don't even know what the asking price is for Grealish. If we get them both for around £200m that'd be grand.

If Villa sign them, Grealish might decide to hang around for another season to see how it goesVilla in talks with Cantwell from Norwich now. Either the owners really are backing them or they know they have a big pot of money coming in. As mentioned before, Villa have the resources to go and get Cantwell, Buendia, Bailey and whoever else before they get the Grealish money which is ideal. Getting the money first like spuds did with Bale fucked them, every club then upped the prices and left them with shite.
If we get them both it will be at a cost the club were comfortable with, nothing to do with having pants pulled down.Levy wants £150m for Kane. That leaves £50m for Grealish.... Not happening. Villa can reasonably expect to get £65m+ for him in today's market.
The original post suggested that the fees asked won't be met by City. I think he's right.
£150m for Kane is £70m too much imo, but I'd expect Levy to want a deal at £120m.
If we end up paying anywhere near £190m for the pair, they've had our pants down.
Well if he does then hes not the player for us. How much longer do you wait.If Villa sign them, Grealish might decide to hang around for another season to see how it goes
That doesn’t mean we’ll pay 150 - it’s an opening negotiating figure. 125 for Kane and 80-odd for Grealish will do nicely, if you factor in all the incoming dosh.Levy wants £150m for Kane.
