Agree, contrast his performances with pre lock down where we were trying have more possession in the final third and commit more players. He isnt suited to the football we were playing post lockdown where Davies really impressed (without scoring)
-
Such a boring unnecessary comment. I've said no where that I would sell him, I've speculated about what villa may do if offered the chance to turn quick profit. The reality is our name means little, like all clubs we have FFP targets and our players will have a selling price. We will need to sell players to generate funds. It's a forum to engage in conversation, it is possible to respond without being offensive you know.
-
Tbf to Wes, some performances were questionable but he was on target for v10 goals this season. Other players that scored around that firminho, lacazette, grealish, greenwood, maupay. Double figures in his first season would have been a good return. I'm happy to see if we get him back and whether we can improve him. I'd suggest he will score a reasonable return.
-
But isnt the model to buy, sell and reinvest. His coming into his prime years but resale value will diminish. If a bid came in that gave an immediate 15m profit, I'd expect us to consider.
-
This plus I only just realised that Jesus and Suso are the same person
-
Agree with this, would expect 30m given prices elsewhere and looks worth every penny. Though I obviously need to toe the villa talk line which is that you must sell to us as it's a buyer's market except for in the case of jack grealish.
-
Who are these people that get to decide what you can and cannot celebrate? Surely by these rules the majority of football fans may as well not bother. Seems ridiculous to care what others think, were villa fans, we achieved something big when many had written us off. Enjoy it, celebrate it and stop caring what miserable pundits or faceless people on the internet think.
-
Interesting challenge if we get bids for mings. Hes 27 this year so his resale only goes down, if the club can turn a 10-15m profit in a year it maybe hard to resist.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
cheltenham_villa replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
Why heart says that Jack sat in the dressing room and considered where on earth he can feel this way again, scoring the goal that keeps the club hes always supported In the premier league. Just over a year after feeling the same way dragging us into the premier league. My head say he has aspirations of going to the euros next year and competing for titles but realises he will be disadvantaged in achieving those things by staying with us -
Agreed, I've no issue with the current ownership but I also strongly recall the early randy years where i though he could do know wrong. Good ownership is judged over time, ultimately they are all here to make money off the club, we just wait to see what benefit we get in the meantime.
-
The context of that comment was a comparison with previous ownership. You cant compare the reign until 5 years time in my IMO.
-
One big positive from last year was, the plan was set and put in place immediately. People may object to the plan but they had one and stuck to it. Same again please.
-
Love it, great to see him letting his hair down and celebrating with everyone else. I lot was riding on today for him i assume, its likely that he held the final decision on dean a few weeks ago and today it has paid off.
-
promoted when he had no right to be over saw a huge turnaround in playing staff suffered long term injuries to two of his key signings during the same game. took us to wembley observed, changed and took the players with him. kept us up in his first full season (something only 30% of clubs promoted through the play offs do) Loves the villa as much if not more than the rest of us. What more can anyone ask.
-
was good enough to be a significant part of a team that kept us up when we looked dead and buried. weve also seen the impact of a large turn around in players. Cant see a reason to sell, all heroes tonight and all played a part.
-
but why not just buy much better as well as keeping him? weve seen this year the fragility of our squad, its needs to be strengthened. Before the lockdown we saw some quality in Samatta, the change in formation has probably not suited him but i cannot see why we would sell him
-
id like to see a mix of established prem players, clear to see the impact that Reina has had and even Elmo.
-
Why sell? weve hardly had enough strikers and he has been one of them. we need to develop the squad, useful option off the bench and in the cup, key is that we buy someone better but i wouldnt be selling anyone.
-
Proved this year that he can be effective. Maybe not scoring but since the break our best passages of play come through him. Why send him anywhere, weve so few options from the bench.
-
Superb performance dean, managed that game so well. Really turned us around since the break. So happy for him.
-
I dont trust arsenal either, they were toothless against us and will be similar today. We need to ignore the others and just win. Beating west ham by 2 would likely do it. If we spending the day relaying on arsenal, I'll be in bits
-
If we stay up, I'd go after calumn wilson from bournemouth.
-
You cant count ifs and buts else you have to consider the goal sheff united scored against us, the last minutes goals we did score against brighton and watford. For me, everyone has these moments in a season, they tend to balance out over the season.

Pre Match Thread - Villa's Last Stand !
cheltenham_villa replied to Paul33's topic in PL: West Ham a
I'm still incredibly nervous, I think watford will win, cant see much fight from arsenal and we might need to win by more than 1, something we really struggle ejth -
I'm convinced hes a better player with Reina behind him. I've no stats to back it up but I think he needs and recognises the authority of a senior keeper. It helps him reduce mistakes.
