Villa look really poor and even the likes of Grealish and Mings looked distinctly average last night.
If we get promoted maybe we will sell Phillips for 30 million to secure some of the others mentioned.
For me that would be a bad move but you don`t know how the owners will be thinking.
We need to build the team around Phillips and spend in the tune of 50m to stay up.

I’ll be honest and say I doubt we’d manage to keep White with his performances and top clubs watching him. If we do then he performs we could be on the way to a big fee later on for him.

We should have tried white up in Jan with a deal in place when we go up. Liverpool have been watching him most weeks.

No way Leeds sell KP if we go up, I don't think many of the squad will leave if we go up, but keeping Ben White or signing a quality replacement if Brighton won't sell or Liverpool get him has to be the first priority.

yeah if Bielsa stays he will go with most of what he has imo. can't see us keeping White so obviously need a central defender. probably another central midfielder, and a left back be great if we could get Milner back he would fit in perfect.

If Bielsa goes with most of the same next year, that’ll lead to relegation IMO. Bamford needs replacing and Douglas at LB.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see pochettino come in working with Bielsa and taking over the reigns either next season or season after. I know he’s attended a number of our games since his sacking.

Forest’s owner confirmed to have coronavirus. Not sure what impact this will have on the rest of the fixtures.

kevin augustin will be main striker next year with Bamford as back up. i look at the premier league and there is a lot of dross below the top teams. look how sheffield united have gone with mainly the same squad and Wolves since they went up.

We showed against Arsenal our style is more suited to PL rather than against teams who will mostly poop house us and park the bus. remains to be seen but i would be reasonably confident of avoiding relegation. of course we would need a bit more quality but it has to be considered quality. we already kno under Bielsa that is a given.

bielsa staying if we go up. Phil hay confirmed it weeks ago
