Im not sure where the value is on that one. We squared away PSR with Anderson and Minteh going and we're just about to see the back of our most expensive/least lucrative years under this ownership. We've got 20 million coming in from Kelly (probably). We have four competitions to compete in next season and we realistically want to properly compete in the top end/latter stages of at least two. We need depth and I don't think any money we'd make from Longstaff stacks up to having an experienced, competent PL level player who wants to be here even if he isn't first choice.

He'll be letting Russia off sanctions and tariffs soon, as the only country willing to deal with him. Probably arming them to fight for freedom against the agressive "dictator", as well.

"This" happened around the time you came back. #justsaying

I'm still sure that Man City's interest was merely a wind up for just this outcome @LondonBlue?

I've no beef with Palace, other than Parish being a bit of a cunt. However they are in our way so must be ruthlessly trampled under foot. HTL

Scored a ticket in Leazes East Corner for this one. Hope we win. Hope the Pit Yakka arsehole who twisted his face all the way through the Brentford game hasn't.

Wasn't included in Match Cam. Wasted opportunity for some bonus content right there.

Oh, please let her call it Iceberg or some other lettuce related nonsense.

I also think we'll sell Longstaff. He's dropped down the pecking order and would be one to upgrade for squad depth. He's probably played his best football for us so now would be the time to cash in with an eye on PSR.

If we're making predictions*, a much more likely unexpected sale would be Longstaff. He's clearly important for the domestically trained player count for Europe. But other than that, (as others have mentioned heaps) he's not a very effective bench player since his strengths are mostly endurance based and he seems to play better the more consistently he gets to play (which won't be the case next season similarly to the second half of this season). Also, he's pure profit in PSR terms, which means we'd make similar PSR headroom for ourselves from selling him for 20-25m as we would from trying to sell Gordon for 60-80m. And, we would have mostly or even exclusively non-rivals in the market for Longstaff compared to our direct rivals being in for Gordon, which means selling Longstaff "weakens" us less in a relative sense in addition to the reduced real difference in each actual player's ability. We'd also arguably have an easier time selling Longstaff in general since there are more clubs who can afford him. And, arguably the only club that would be in for Gordon that constitutes an upward move would be Liverpool. And they will likely have their money tied up trying to replace TAA and future planning for Salah's imminent departure. In other words, I'd be incredibly surprised if we agreed to sell Gordon and I'd also be surprised if Gordon wanted to leave. But, hey, I'm not a body language expert. * can 100% trust that Dougie made a prediction disguised as a hunch. (We're rolling with it now. Good luck, Dougie. Credibility on the line. )

Thanks. A hunch is slightly less solid than a prediction or Mitch's expanded wasteline. And as for prediction form.....

Sure the morlocks had their own special display just for us last time we played Of all the cockups they have had over the years that will be hard to top!

A lot of the sides left look vulnerable if you attack them, Barca let three in tonight too..

Good half for Villa. Shame about the other 3

The defending was poor to be fair. Three players scared to put a tackle in.

Aye, he always seems to get lucky in the ballot for the big games.

Beating PSG in the champions league is not for everyone it eeems.

Konsa is my new favourite Villa player. Perfect form on that air header. The flick of the head. He did everything right except make contact with the ball.
