We've all been there mate.

Hmm, a marginalised English Liverpool midfielder going to Villa for more game time. If only there was a recent precedent so that we know how that would turn out.

I would literally love to find out. Apart from the being in Stoke part. Would be some fresh legs as well.

If it helps Conrad, I tried to up the ante by bringing Sabrina Carpenter into it.

They love a bald meff at Ajax.

Anyone who doesn't want us to sign him is an antisemite. Plus he can have a chant based on that boss Sabrina Carpenter song.

I think we already got half of that this season. None of the players we signed are duds. On paper, they're probably the best players that we could have signed.

Like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

I think it's right. The nearest I can find is Colchester United who haven't been promoted or won a trophy since 2006. Walsall last "celebrated" in 2007 and Stoke in 2008.

That can't be true, surely. I'm going to have to go away and OCD that now.

I don't know, it's the going rate for what seems like a really promising 19 year old. How much would we want to sell Rio? I suppose your bench marks over the last few years are the likes of Estevao, Jamie Gittens, Endrick, Savinho, Doue, Xavi Simons, who were all there or thereabouts.
