I totally agree with everything that you say here but Gibbs White would be amazing for us. He is so consistent at home and away. He works hard. Can carry the ball and his weight of pass is exceptional. He can also finish. All of our 10’s have their moments but particularly away from home, can go missing for large parts. Gibbs White would give us much more ballast in fixtures like yesterday. He would admittedly cost a small fortune but unlike what we are finding with our players from abroad, particularly the forward players, he would be able to influence from day one. If we did have the money available, I would rather we spend the lot on someone who is as close to a sure thing as possible as opposed to spreading it over 3/4 more risky investments. Obviously being able to do both would be the optimum solution.

The "Let's Smash Rat Boy Fernandes" Match Thread
M_Afro replied to rjw63's topic in PL: Man United a
It’s Man Utd. It’s Old Trafford. It’s Boxing Day. All of that equals a home win. This Villa team are different for sure but I just can’t see past the history that says we lose this one. Will still have been a fantastic first half season no matter what happens.- 354 replies

At some stage Chelsea will come good. They’re not far off. They rarely get outplayed but they just miss so many chances. They should have been two or three up at halftime today. I also think that Jackson will come good. He’s got everything that you need apart from confidence. I will continue to enjoy their ineptitude whilst it lasts though. Long may it continue.
-
Our winning home run would have come to an end much sooner if he hadn’t scored an absolute worldie against Palace.
-
Ok mate. Maybe you know better than Unai.
-
I don’t think Moreno is fit mate. I suspect Unai, who sees them every single day, will make the right call. Hopefully Moreno will get back to last season’s form soon.. Until then we have Digne who has been really good this season and has earned the shirt. Moreno needs to earn it back.
-
I think Digne has done ok for creating chances this season. He’s not as fast as Moreno but his delivery is quality in my view. We’re lucky to have both of them in my view.
-
This is so true. Big Emi, Pau, Boubs, Doug and Ollie are our most important players. They’re all irreplaceable with our current squad. We were obviously missing two tonight and it really showed. Hopefully Pau will be back for Manure.
-
Digne has been quality so far this season. Moreno needs to earn the shirt back from him. I wish we had the same quality as those two in the other side. Both are really good.
-
I like Cash. He’s a good guy and a decent squad option but he is the obvious weakness in our starting team. Needs replacing but he’ll keep giving his all until that happens. He needs our backing.
-
We were really poor, end of. We’ve had some tight decisions go our way recently and tonight they went against us. It’s hypocritical to bemoan our luck when we’ve really benefited from VAR in recent weeks. We weren’t good enough tonight. We move on. We’re still second which is incredible.

With all of their injuries we really should be winning this. I think we will. 0-2 to the mighty Villans. COYVB.
-
I’m pretty sure he was a Lange signing. I don’t think Gerrard wanted him. Anyway. I think you’re being harsh. He doesn’t suit our style of play but he has plenty of international caps and plenty of premier league appearances to boot. I think he is a useful option for a lot of decent sides. He just doesn’t suit us.
-
Probably a case of trying too hard but he looked really poor tonight. You can see why Unai has his reservations. He’s a useful player to have in the squad but I think he lacks the quality to be starting every week.
-
This guy has had the biggest turn around of any player I can remember. He looked to be on his way out all summer but now he is completely indispensable. Total professional too. He seems to love it here. Well worth his £750k/day salary!
-
He is so professional. He can’t be happy with how things have turned out but he never complains and he always tries his absolute hardest when he comes on. Top man as far as I’m concerned.
-
I love Unai. We weren’t great tonight and we looked really tired and yet he still managed to engineer an unbelievable win against an excellent team. He is also so humble and diligent. What’s not to love?! I was chatting to a guy this morning who is a massive arsenal fan. He admitted that Villa had become his second team and was amazed at the style of our football. He said that Unai was really defensive at Arsenal. Sometimes things are just meant to be. Long may it continue. UTV. UTU.
-
That’s so true mate. I never thought I’d see days like these. We just need to enjoy every second whilst we can.

That is so very sad. What a lovely and talented man. A real advocate for our great city too. God bless you Benjamin. May you rest in peace.
-
I never thought I would see a Villa team play to that level. It was absolutely unreal. Unai is the best thing to happen to our club in the last 40 years. God bless you Unai you absolute legend.

Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Legia Warszawa
M_Afro replied to limpid's topic in UECL5: Legia Warszawa h
Unai is brilliant. His Villa team are brilliant. That was not brilliant but we still won. Life as a Villa fan is pretty brilliant at the moment to be fair! Remember when we had to play brilliantly just to stand a chance of winning a game? Onwards and upwards.- 136 replies

We had rank goalies for years at Villa. It has been a real problem position for us. All of a sudden this champ turns up and just makes it all look so easy. He is one of the greatest players ever to represent our club. We are so lucky to have him. He is absolutely box office in every way. I hope he never leaves. Legend.
-
It was not our day today. It happens to everyone. Unai will make sure that it doesn’t become anything more than a minor blip.
-
As improbable as a title win is, the fact that this is still a credible thread in November is absolutely incredible. What a year we have had.

He’s been great so far. If he keeps this up, he could be on for motm. Good to see.
