The verdict is in. Not good enough. I just have no sense of security when he is in goal. I know we are spoiled with Martinez, but the defences mentality shatters when he’s in goal. Perhaps coincidence, but I don’t think so.
-
Dendonkey. Never want to see him in a Villa shirt again.

Ideal for me up the M5 in fairness -
Villa FA Cup 4th Rd Draw (Should we win)
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth replied to andykeenan's topic in Villa Talk
Don’t take the third round for granted but 22 at home. -
Win tonight and any prospect of relegation should be behind us. Everton just feel like the club we were when we went down. And Southampton have a dreadful side with a poor manager.
-
Earlier I remembered that moment everyone thought he had been knocked unconscious or even killed. Glad he’s scoring again now though.
-
But what about the aggregate if we sell him?
-
Yea, I had that thought. Absolute travesty we didn’t get into Europe that season!
-
Got to think Cash will be back in to cope with Adama. Nothing else barring an unknown Cunha concerns me about then this season. 2-0.
-
Lest we forget. How we had fallen. I can see him being sent to a decent conference side this month, a side in good form to build his confidence again.
-
Not for definite, requires the cups to help us out. Goes automatically to the winner of the Carabao cup, but if that winner is already in European competition it will go to the league (not runner up). The FA cup would also have to be won by someone qualified for European competition to unlock the 7th place scenario.
-
I look at it as positive that a lot of the top half dropped points!
-
A poor joke that has left me looking a fool. Terrific player, I just find it utterly insane that firstly we got him for free; and secondly that Marseille allowed his contract to run down like that instead of cashing in.
-
Have a feeling we may get a profit on this guy.
-
I think when 4 separate managers have not fancied him I think this is the logical conclusion. Despite those flashy cameo touches.
-
Not a bad shout, he’s earned it. Although I shudder when I hear that tune to when it became “bullet, bulletproof”. Not our finest hour.
-
So this is what having a genuinely top level manager does for results. Who knew?
-
Class. It’s easy to forget how young he was when he joined given the amount of game time he had. Prime years are still 3 years away too.
-
Brilliant. Should be thinking about a new deal already for next season. The guy is only going to be a good influence for the younger guys.
-
I’ve wondered this myself. Seemingly business associates before Villa, but I get the impression Sawiris is mostly the money behind it all and Edens is the sports business guy who’s created successful clubs before - not that he’s short of a penny or two himself. Thing I like about Sawiris is when you see videos of him on YouTube talking about his businesses, he knows absolutely everything about the details. His knowledge about Nitrogen fertiliser is mad for example. If Villa don’t get it right under him, I don’t think we ever will with anyone.
-
Noises about Martinez leaving are starting to become worrying. Surely a £70m+ price tag would put nearly everyone off thoughZ
-
Probably the link that makes most sense so far. Can see us reverting to a 433 with Bailey and Deulofeu either side of the striker.
-
This is my take. Emery is a medium to long term plan, he’s basically had to build a style with a group of players mid season - because they were not coached for 6 months.
-
I’m all over the Wolves reaction to this. Even from a Mendes potentially working with us perspective.
-
This is so utterly ridiculous. But I want to believe.
