    Decent 11.

    Squad depth very poor. Especially with Son going to play some kick ball in Asia.

    There, I’ll agree.

    Squad depth is virtually non existent. We’ll be relying on academy players if we get a few injuries.

    Come off it. He was terrible the other night for Villa and was utter ****e last time in the PL.

    Tinted glasses or what.

    He's a good championship player nothing more.

    To improve what they've already got will mean paying the cash, unfortunately.

    Agree with this I really don't understand the hype surrounding him.

    I do...

    Villa were financially ****ed, big time. They whored Grealish out to get them some much needed money.

    Now they have investors they might as well keep him.

    He's a ****ing cash porn that is not at PL standard.

    You could:

    That Hudson Odoi at 40m is a bargain, the talent is there and he could be worth double that if he bangs in the goals and is managed well

    That Solanke at 25m is a bargain, he's 20, he's english and could be double that if managed well

    You haven't played against them for over two and a half years and he didn't feature in that match. Also:

    I'd be over the moon if we signed Hudson Odoi for 40mil.

    Watched him carefully and he is ****ing dynamite.

    ****.

    Grealish was Villa's best player against us in a pre-season friendly, (the full match was on youtube)
    They haven't bought in any names, but on the other hand they haven't lost any, and they are quite a youthful side. No point buying for buying sake. It's not a good window for Spurs but, on the other hand, it's not a disaster either, at least they haven't bought a donkey, yet.

    There has to be at least a modicum of talent. Even the best coach in the world can’t turn a no hoper into a top player.

    Firstky, I imagine he had other things on his mind.

    Although I didn’t see the game he apparently got kicked up in the air every time he got near the ball.

    And you should know fsr better than to judge a player on one game.

    Plenty of players have scored good strikes against us ... some for teams that got relegated ... but we've had a pretty good record against Villa since we came back to the Prem and he was being touted as a wonderkid back then even ... only thing noticeable about him was his silly hair and that he played with his socks rolled down, looking a nob ... but he spent most of his time chasing shadows but without the pace to catch any ... was completely underwhelmed at us being linked and overjoyed when we signed Maddison instead ... remains to be seen if I'm right of course ...

    I completely disagree. He’s far too good for the championship

    Debateable.

    Beckham?
    I'd say Kante technically is pretty poor but is a top player
    John Terry
    Sol Campbell
    Claude Makelele
    Matic
    Roy Keane

    If anything you could have the most talent in the world but piss it all away without the right attitude and/or build.
