What's happened at Villa that things have gotten so bad?
One positive is we could have an exciting deadline day 
I won't be bothered if players like Darmian, Blind, Herrera or Mata are rumored to be out the door. But I feel, kind of endangered when it's Martial and Pogba.
I know club's working on bringing someone, I guess there's been no progress, since we haven't heard even a rumor.

Not a chance in hell we sell Pogba, especially at this point in the summer. We're not that much of a mess.
Basically they gambled hugely on getting promotion and based their projections on spending and income on returning to the premier league.
Overspending on transfers, too many players on huge wages like John Terry that was unsustainable. Also the owner being based in China was sending money to the club each month to cover expenditure, that money stopped coming and questions been asked whether the owner actually has the funds to run the club. Now they are selling players and trying to raise funds where they can.
Feck me this transfer window has been boring. Hopefully it comes alive soon.
That was like shooting fish in a barrel.
Bit of a disappointing loan. Can’t see the point in going from Erdivisie to the Championship. Lampard is his idol though so I guess that swung it for him.
Great news for us. Weaken a rival and takes pressure off De Gea to move.
Lets just hope Chelsea don't sign Oblak.
They seem to be heavily linked to Allison.
Championship is probably more competitive than Eredivise these days. It's not what it once was.
He did really well there though. His team mate who has been there since Chelsea linked up with them said he’s the best loanee they’ve had from them and the chairman said he’s better than any Ajax midfielder. He won their player of the year. I think the Erdivisie is a similar level to The Championship so given that he did so well there you’d hope he step up a bit. I’m sure there would have been a German side that would have loaned him.
At derby he will learn and grow under lamp add though
I guess that Lampard will have a special interest in developing him given the England and Chelsea link so there’s a kind of security in that given how badly some loans go.
I really hope they buy Hazard as well as it would be too traumatic to tear the 2 lovers apart.
From the moment Chelsea were considering selling Cech, I started saying Coutois couldn't be relied upon for the long term as they had hoped. He spoke too much, gave hints about his ego and ambition etc. He was never the 'long term' successor to Cech Chelsea fans were hoping for. I gave him five seasons tops.
I mean no disrespect to Belgians in any way but I have observed that many top Belgian players tend to be outspoken and ready to change clubs quickly once they don't seem to be getting what they want. KDB and Lukaku at Chelsea and Everton; Courtois and Hazard at Chelsea; Fellaini at United; Alderweireld at Spurs; etc. They certainly don't lack self assurance.
OK, why are there no United tweets?! There is absolute radio silence, no rumors or gossip even.
Either we are keeping things under wraps or we might be done for the window (sincerely hope not)
Hopefully after the sales of Blind and Darmian, we see some activity

I believe so much in that kid, Tahith Chong, that I prefer we get someone as old as 29/30 as a temporary fix for that right wing.
I second this motion.
Someone good enough to do the Job and have enough game time for TC. The only thing that concerns me is that he did have a knee injury and was out for a while. Not good getting that type of injury at this age as you never know if it will cause rapid degeneration down the line. Can't remember the exact nature or severity of it though but assume it was bad since he was out for some time.
Yes really excited to see what he can do in pre season but atm it's looking like we're not even going to buy a RW so Mata and Lingard it is.
Usain Bolt to trial for Central Coast Mariners in Australian A League.
That should have been our marketing strategy with Ronny
Excellent video for a great player. Really wish Jose gave him more chances. He deserved more from him. Wish him all the best with his further career and still a favourite of mine.
Thank you for everything Daley. A true team player.
Sad things didn't work out very well and you deserve better then Ajax. Hope you are happy and all the very best to you

I was thinking the exact same thing.
All the best Daley.
Shame it didn't really work out for him here as he is a very useful player in my opinion.

Likeable guy. Nowhere near good enough.
Hopefully there's more of the same calibre following him out the door.

Agreement between Fonte and Lille. He's expected to have his medical after his vacations.
Not of the requisite quality. Darmian, Jones, Rojo, Shaw should follow suit.
Sandro, CB, RW in.

I guess Sarri will use him in the same role he used Hamsik, with Kante in the Allan role to complete the midfield with Jorginho.
