Malen sale has a fair bit of risk

Heโ€™s been actively contributing. Offers an alternative playing style & can change games. Has pace (lacking elsewhere)

Changing the dynamic of a winning squad is surprising

Sell in the summer, maybe. Selling now is speculative for rest of the season

Mixed thoughts. Wouldโ€™ve been happy if heโ€™d joined, but equally not gutted to miss out. Fee was fairly hefty. Have faith #avfc can find another option (now/summer) and possibly at better value. Kamara news was the biggest +ve of the day. Onwards #UTV

And yet many of the players lacking โ€˜confidenceโ€™ get picked every week

Try something new. Drop the players who are off it. Inject some intensity and urgency into the playing style. One touch not 37 touch. Might not work, but weโ€™ve tried โ€˜hold onto the ball and hope Rogers comes back to lifeโ€™.

Our style has only been lazy, passive and pedestrian all season. That is our style

Six games, two goals - both of which were huge goalkeeping errors

Says it all

Very small side note of credit to Sancho who made a difference when he came on, all you can ask from a sub

Overall though, see above #avfc

Oh 100% and it looks like a move may still happen. A parting of ways is best for all parties. Shame it has ended slightly sourly, but remains one of (if not the) best goalkeeper l have ever seen for #avfc

Yeah I donโ€™t doubt we can afford it and people have challenged my post saying the club clearly feel they can afford it SCR wise this year - fair enough. My point is more that weโ€™ve known about SCR all summer and we are scrabbling around with a late expensive deal. Doesnโ€™t seem like our best work

Of course thatโ€™s fair, but we know his wages are high (certainly relative to Villaโ€™s) so it isnโ€™t a financially cheap scenario. Plus is he much of an upgrade on Bailey? Who we loaned out.

Just smacks of slight desperation (which is somewhat but not entirely understandable)

01.09.2025 10:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Even 80% is confusing in our SCR situation for such a highly paid player #avfc

01.09.2025 10:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Itโ€™s clear how difficult this is for the club, and itโ€™s very easy for us to throw shade from the outside, but there are some deals that obviously make sense and some that donโ€™t

Ramsey - didnโ€™t personally like, but get it

Sancho (in for Bailey) - ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Bailey/Sancho independent deals, but also not

01.09.2025 10:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If the Bailey deal had been loan with obligation Iโ€™d get it, but not as loan with option.

If the Sancho deal has any kind of loan fee it seems nuts

01.09.2025 10:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Like him as a player

Will reserve judgement until A) it happens B) size/structure of the deal

Why loan Bailey out, only to then loan in Sancho? Canโ€™t see this as any kind of upgrade quality wise or financial benefit. Confusion and desperation seems rife #avfc

Letโ€™s hope for better in 2nd half. But my word we are a dull watch. Fair play to Palace but man alive have a go FFS

Flat performance. Strange/negative selection from UE. Formation suggested more concern about nullifying NUFC, than trying to attack them. However, a great defensive effort and strong debut from Bizot. Onto the next. Up The Villa #avfc

Id imagine something akin to Brighton, regularly sell on some top players and try to buy the best young players you can find. Some will hit some will miss, hopefully enough hit to build a quality model. Massively simplified im sure, I donโ€™t claim to be a football strategist. My best guess for SCR

25.07.2025 21:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not what Iโ€™ve read. We have a fine now for a breach of SCR in previous seasons at 80% SCR. This season that drops to 70%, so only gettting harder. We all want UCL but canโ€™t rely on it. Need to build a model we can sustain with/without it. Hence my willingness to consider tough financial compromises

Well at least Iโ€™m making some progress!

You ask for credible solutions. Iโ€™ve been saying from the outset there might only be solutions that come with some risk of short term regression. If the club took that risk Iโ€™d back them. If they stick with Watkins and find other solutions, cool

Indeed, you can apply the same for Tielemans, Martinez, etc Tough decisions.

I never said I loved them, just willing to face them as thereโ€™s potential for even harder consequences down the line if we never maximise value (imo)

You state โ€˜wantโ€™ vs reluctantly willing to consider

25.07.2025 20:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And even Rogers canโ€™t be ruled out, whether I like it or not

So still a fuckwit? Or just a fan with a POV on how best to juggle a tough financial situation for the club they love?

25.07.2025 20:13 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Can we sell other players, of course! Martinez is still on the table. There are others we all want to move on. But SCR means we will continually face juggling moving on players when offers come in. I wouldnโ€™t flatly rule out sales of Watkins. My only player to even conaide that approach is Rogers

25.07.2025 20:12 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Watkins market value declines from now whether we like it or not

My pov would be try to deal with it head on with a long term outlook for avfc

As regards how to try to replace Watkins I gave some examples above. None of them easy or even equivalent. I canโ€™t give names of players just scenarios
