As for the season ahead - we have recruited quite well, but whether well enough to be a genuine title contender only the season itself will provide the answer. Exiting the FFA Cup was not a good omen. Well you know, we could go on and win the first 4 games of the season, keeping 3 clean sheets.......

The reason being is that I am unsure if he and Bruno would have played well together (we have no proof they would). But if De Laet plays random positions like LW/RW or CDM during the season without much contribution then I would be quite annoyed with Waz for what seems to be a "mates" signing. I'm definitely off the fence. I think Ross is a quality player but way overpriced. Bruno for me is and will be a better player. Positionally (if thats a word) Ritchie is a much better Marquee, so as good as Ross was for us last season when considering the entire squad it would be crazy to talk Ross and Bruno and no Ritchie. But like you said if Ritchie stinks it up and plays in some random spots and then it might even be net sum loss. I can't see Ross scoring more goals than Bruno.

With the Mariners yes I would say Bruno will score more. But Ross will still get a bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cabbage was poetic. Kevin Mcdonald, who takes over temporarily, had a stint playing for my home town club, Walsall, if memory serves.

hakz7 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Would be stupid if any of our fans boo him this season. City obviously didn’t want him so he went to another club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originalmeme Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 yep money wasnt the issue, was purely unavailable. Imagine how easy the league would have been with rosco in the team...just think about that...HOLY SHIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point they became available for loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Was in the squad, but not the 16, for CCM today. Edit, gather injured so probably nothing to see here. Edited December 1, 2018 by fensaddler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymad Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/villa-outcast-mccormack-set-for-stunning-pay-rise/18sjv5sevlg311k6128qdz729w Apparently his wage goes up to 127K per week due to the Villa geting promoted to EPL next season. McCormack scores from outside the box with this one!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
