Reivax_Villa

You can tell that his journey to professional football has been remarkable considering the life he has had..

He has a lot to learn but probably has been dealing with internal things that has spanned before football..

He is a liability despite all of this and our approach should just be open.

Whether it is to give him therapy and allow him to grow into the man that will ultimately aid his football career.. or we cut him loose.. we need to be open.

But whether we like it or not he is part of our history now.. his two goals got us UCL football for next season.. He is a big talent..

I dont care if he is a good passer..

He is an average defender at best..

He never plays with urgency & looks half hearted both in and out of possession..

Glad I wasn’t the only one then.

I think its an American thing.. They normally make announcements on social media instead of websites like the NBA..

The NBA manages the websites for the teams..

The sad truth is that we are now stuck with it.. might remove the shadow but that is us moving forward lol

Im not sure i agree with that. If we sell carlos and ramsey for example we could get the 60m needed to get one of them

We need to prioritise in other positions but lets see..

I hope emerys impressed with what he has seen 

He can be impressed as much as he wants.. we wont be able to sign any of those players this summer..

2-0

There are more suitable players with more longevity (worth bringing in younger players that will stick with us and develop and improve in the longer term) out there…

Facts

Jeremy Frimpong was at Celtic before Leverkusen..

We can sign these players for a lower price and let them grow to that level with us..

We are doing that with Rogers i am sure we can do that again.

I think the major positions to invest in are both full back areas and defensive midfield..

Once we get a clean bill of health we are looking very strong..

Emery & Monchi recruit smartly tbh..

I still think we need a world class quality player to consistenly compete but realistically we are going to have to build a player to that level..

Morgan Sanson replacement

A player that has hardly played for us?

We need to sell a big player still..

Douglas Luiz replacement?

There is no group stage anymore

Knockout round playoffs*

There are UCL quality players that are under £20mil look at Akanji..

I hope we make some clever signings.

I would like us to create our own stars like a Son ect..

We have created one in Emi, i hope we can do the same this summer!

Success next season for me..

Get through the group stage..

top 5/6

Carabao Cup or FA Cup trophy

Get him on penalties, I'm sure we can coach him or he can practice them. That'll take him easily to mid 20s

Very very good point!

Top strikers take penalties and get to 20+ goals a season..

If Ollie doesn't make it to 20, I wouldn’t put that down to missed opportunities only but not taking penalties..

Look, if Haaland can smash them in from a static position, I am sure that Ollie can..

Cream of the crop is if he scores on Sunday..

Incredible! 

City look exhausted..

There was a time when i thought that i would not see a Villa team line up to the Champions League Anthem..

Tonight this becomes a reality for all Villa fans..

What a journey!

So many questions need to be answered in defence before Sep 1st . 

Do we still want to get Digne off the wage bill despite being our best leftback

Is Moreno going to regain his explosiveness 

Is Mings going to be fit for September and if so will he be as good as he was 

Is Carlos going to be sold on to get his 100k off the books 

Is Sousa going to compete at lb or will he need another loan 

Will Kosta come in and be competitive at rb or will he need a loan. 

Are we selling Cash and if so are we moving Konsa to rb full time meaning we need another centre back ? 

Or do we need a new senior right back. 

The one good thing we have is that all things being equal and fitness withstanding Pau and Konsa would be a decent first choice pairing at a good age. 

Same questions that need answering..

He will score on Sunday

He will be better next season

I was harsh on the team tbh.. But I am happy that they proved me wrong..

Duran was the difference!

wow

wow

So who are we getting rid of this summer?
