Tbh even the “analysis” in the season predictions for The Athletic looks pretty pedestrian.
I don’t even care about the actual predictions - it’s the reasoning behind many of them that’s faulty.
Journos - even TA journos - spend their time watching the Big 6 & think they know everything about EPL

Agreed. I just don’t want Ramsay to leave for an undervalued price simply because he’s been off his game since his injury.
I truly believe that his best is yet to come, and if he is to leave #AVFC, I want that potential to be factored into his sale price.

Thanks for this clarification

Can you post some links to articles written or videos done by Alex Barker? Several were mentioned during the video, but when I search for “Alex Barker” on the Athletic app, it gives 0 responses for an author by that name, and a Google search was no better.

Agreed - Let’s hope Jamaldeen is at least a £60m PSR sacrifice a few years from now 🤦🏻♂️
It’s concerning how, because of the financial rules, twice each season, clubs like #AVFC become a veritable trading card business, before reverting to a football club when the transfer window shuts.

Hi Jason, other than our shared love for a frustrating FC, we don’t know each other, but I just want to say you’re not alone in feeling this way (or in general). Your feelings are valid & I feel like this too sometimes. I find it consoling to think that we each probably matter more than we realise✊

Watkins to Utd reminds me of Gareth Barry to LFC - with the same kind of unhinged segment of a big 6 fan base that cannot understand why a “smaller” club wouldn’t feel flattered & fall over its to accept whatever knock-down price is being offered for a contracted player 🤦🏻♂️

This is so dumb. What a mountain of column-filling, click-bait, waffle.
There is no tactic.
Villa hold an asset (Watkins), which they value at a certain amount, and do not want to sell. Of course, every player has their price, but that price must at least match Villa’s valuation.

Lol why would #AVFC sell Watkins for less than we value him. He has 3 years on his contract.
Either the journalists who write this stuff, or the throbbing brains at Man Utd, do not appear to understand how supply and demand works.

Well, to be fair, no one at #AVFC seemed worried that Boubacar might not sign, but I was already assuming he’d wait to see how the season would go.
Makes me wonder what other wrong assumptions I’ve made🤔
