With the season almost here I am feeling quietly confident about next season. I think everything could be in place to go for the play offs or even fight for the automatics. I feel like we have the right squad and balance, and the right manager. All we need to do is get behind the villa boys and really go for it this season!

Not Aston Villa related but what's everybodys point of view on the extreme transfer fees going around is any player worth 200 million? Kyle walker 50 million as the world gone mad or am I just getting old?

Football has gone bonkers with these outrageous fees for players and agents,
Where's it all going to stop?
Players on 1 million a week!
Sounds impossible but is it really?
What would the really great players in the past be thinking of it all,
What did that agent in the pogba deal get 42 million?
Most of this money is going abroad and not back in our game,

{Ed007's Note - Isn't Neymar's PSG wages reported at about £1 million a week before tax?}

I belive that players are getting that rich that its effecting the players brain its like there so rich they don't care about anything. 1 million a week before tax you can't spend that money. We seriously need to look into these deals I mean it wouldn't be to bad if they was spending the money on youth but even then these transfer fees are sickening. Football is no longer the working mans game its us the fans that will pay with ticket prices etc.

The age old argument!

This should be on the other page!

Sigurdson £50m?
Couple of years ago we were offering £2m?
Walker £50m?
It's down to the stupid money coming out of Sky etc.
Everything has been multiplied by 10.

Just found my boots in the shed and am having the studs knocked in and the sharp nails filed down and hoping to get a game this week.
Willing to accept £50k a game. Any takers.
My old Mom is getting her garden gloves out. She is great in the goals in the back garden.

Paul lambert - "Unless Villa get promoted, they will stay in the championship."

Congrats, that's how the league works.

What a genius, almost as clever as when he stopped using a system that worked and started using one that didn't.

Technically he could be saying we won't be getting relegated either, so effectively he is saying hedoesn't see us being in a relegation battle.

There is that!

Or it could be no one understood a word he said, and they made it up! Lol.

I always used to put subtitles when that guy spoke anyway. didn't he buy Bacuna? To be honest Paul Lambert is on the great list with Remi garde and David O'Leary now.

Is he saying. "If things don't change they'll stay as they are"? 😀.

Real Villa, you got it right as PL did.
If we don't do it this season we will hang about in the champs for several seasons.
