would make far too much sense, so we obviously won't do it.

This rumour started from AS (also referenced by this article). No other reliable outlet media outlet or journalist has covered this, and only one other Spanish outlet has covered this: ABC Sevilla (who aren't so reliable, either).
Seems like they're trying to drum up interest.
Hard to see why we need a CB now .. we'd probably go for a RB / CM if we do go in for someone but I think that's unlikely as well. We'll probably just wait to see what our new manager situation is before spending any more money.
- Official confirmation expected in 48 hours
- Gerrard will be bringing the following people over to Villa as part of his backroom staff:
- Gary McAllister (assistant manager)
- Michael Beale
- Tom Culshaw (set-piece coach)
- Jordan Milsom (Head of Performance)
- Villa will pay £3m to bring Gerrard & his staff over.

Not that I'd ever want Gerard here, but Villa are showing us how it's done. Take promising manager from a bigger club, pay fee to make it happen, job done.
Interestingly, Matt Law brought this up in his recent article:
- Chelsea thought they'd have an agreement over a new 5-year deal but for recent changes in the demands
- Initially, Christensen's agent adjusted some of the demands (which were resolved), but now, the agent wants to bring the length down from 5 years to 3 years.
- Both Chelsea and Christensen's party aren't backing down from their demands, and the negotiations have stalled as a result.
- Tuchel wants Christensen to remain, and Christensen himself is keen to stay at Chelsea (as confirmed by the player himself earlier).
Rangers are not bigger than Villa...
They should be able to compromise on that.
Villa > Rangers
In modern times, surely Rangers are considered a bigger club? Either way, my point is the same. The difference is smaller than that between us and the club's our apparent managerial targets are currently.
In other words, stoking the fire to get Chelsea moving for him by linking a club that is leaking goals at a crazy rate.

Are we going to compare every single managerial appointment of every club to our own from here on out?
Spurs showing us how it’s done!
Norwich showing us how it’s done!
Newcastle show us how it’s done!
…& now the mighty Villa showing us how it’s done!
Lampard deal almost complete
If he reflects on his man management, he could improve. One thing is for sure, he will look to run and go for transitions goals, everybody moving forward. It costs you on defense, but he is aggressive all the time.
We finally wont have the worst manager in the league anymore.
Norwich showing us how it’s done!
Is Lampard really an upgrade on Farke? Norwich are still finishing rock bottom of the league.
Some legal drama between PSG and Real Betis:
Source: AS
Basically, Betis had to pay 20% of the money that they got from Tottenham for Lo Celso to PSG. Betis are saying that the 20% only applies to the transfer fee (€32m), but PSG are saying that the 20% should also apply on the loan fee (€16m). This case is now being taken to the CAS.

I didn't think we'd be interested in him given what his agent has been saying recently, but this is getting me excited!
- Economic factors a big reason for Insigne leaving
- Napoli's offer: €3.5m guaranteed+ €1.5m in difficult-to-reach bonuses
- The guaranteed amount is less than what Insigne currently earns.
- Other clubs have registered their interest, but Toronto FC is the most serious of the lot.
- TFC's talks are already advanced.

Arsenal agreed terms with Fiorentina for Vlahovic, but the player's camp is not willing to enter talks with Arsenal. As a result, Arsenal have made an initial inquiry for Dejan Kulusevski.
I feel like we might be fishing in a different lake to Norwich.
I was taking the piss out of the poster above saying it about Villa.
Don't know why he feel the need to say that when his loan supposedly have an obligation to buy anyway.
He'd be a great signing for Arsenal or Spurs. Especially Spurs with Kulusevski and Son on each wing.
An incompetent manager still being hired just because he is English and has connections .
