Nicolo, do you remember when I mowed your lawn? (mowed your lawn)
Your mom came out with just a towel on (towel on)
I could tell she liked me from the way she stared (way she stared)
And the way she said, “vai fuori da casa mia” (chiamo la polizia)

If I had a choice between Zaniolo or Brooks at Bournemouth I'd pick Brooks.

Both have had bad injuries though.

What about their respective mothers?
BREAKING NEWS!
In a late twist, it appears that the transfer for Nicolo Zaniolo is back ON, after a personal intervention by the player’s mother....


I’ve just had to clear my search history after looking at pictures of the other twos mums....?

Both his mum and his girlfriend would get it, and by "get" I mean "attempt at the last minute" and by "it" I mean "half what they expect". Similar to the way Levy would "get" Zaniolo.

All jokes aside, Ali Gold reckons Cantwell is on our radar.

That would be a very similar style player and would compliment Lo Celso very well.

Can't see us being in for Zaniolo in this market. Roma would be asking for 30m +

Cantwell definitely has something about him. Would be quite an interesting signing. He was often their best player when I saw them.

Cantwell’s also a massive twat... he reminds me of how immature Grealish used to be. Whereas Grealish still does some stupid things in his personal life he’s really matured on the field and fights for the team. Cantwell on the other hand really needs to grow up before we should consider signing him.

Yeh I have mixed feelings on Cantwell. Does a lot of good things, but can also be very sloppy at times. Has the talent though, but not even close to the finished article. I mean similar criticisms can be levelled at Zaniolo as well, but I think the latters raw talent is something very special and unique. Cantwell is, however, more of a passer, which is something we do need in the team.

Instead of pissing about with chasing the likes of money bags Zaha every season or going for someone like Cantwell who’s talented albeit nowhere near ready to play for a top 6 club... we should really be testing Villa’s resolve per Grealish. I wasn’t bothered when we didn’t get him last summer but he’s been fantastic this season and judging by his end of season interview you get the impression he’s ready to move on.

That's obviously a down side, however I do think our players would be able to nip that in the bud and make him more humble.

He's a little bit arrogant but I think we are lacking some self confidence at times. Like Jose said, we're a little too nice.

For example, Cantwell taking kick ups before his penalty, we need A bit of that.

On the technique side, I've become more aware that a midfield of Lo Celso, Ndombele, Winks & Hoejbjerg isn't going to cut it. We need another option and if the club are indeed sniffing around we'd not do much better in this climate.

Think we'd have a mixture of everything then.

The problem is Villa will be demanding 50m minimum.

We won't be spending more than 30m on any individual this summer.

An attacking trio of Grealish, Dele, and Cantwell would probably be the most opposition piss boiling lineup of all time.

We'd 100% set the record for most fouls conceded in a season.
