    Some people are obviously bored during the international break when they come up with theses lists. Villa are in 5th and he has basically started every game, hardly meets the standard of worst new signing.
  2. QldVilla
    Thought he was good as well.

    I was born and bred in Brisbane Australia, played football when young, both my uncles were very good players playing for Queensland, they used to give me all their used Shoot magazines. It was around 1976/77 that I started supporting Villa a combination of the primary school I played for had a sky blue jersey with a Claret stripe and just loved the name. The only information you would get was from those magazines and the abc in australia that used to have an hour wrap on a Monday night and you hope there were glimpses on the Villa. It was mostly like that until the 1990’s until pay tv came to Australia and you got to see nearly weekly games. Now we get to see every game every week from different online devices. There’s also a club in Bundaberg called Brothers Aston Villa which has been there since the early 70’s, so Australia has a very close affinity with the Villa.

    Unai Emery

    QldVilla replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    Emery just showed everyone again how to beat Brighton for the 3rd time…

    He’s been so good in that first half, best player on the pitch.

    As much as everyone wants a cup run, I’d take top 5 and deep run in the conference league. We don’t have the squad depth for a run in each competition and that is more so with Mings, Carlos, Moreno and Buendia missing. Something has to be sacrificed and I would rather the 3 points against Brighton on the weekend.

    Expect a different Villa in the second half, we need to move the ball quicker and stop passing the ball into crowded areas. Gave the ball away far too often.

    Jhon Durán

    QldVilla replied to PieFacE's topic in Villa Talk

    Great goal by Duran, there's a X factor about him, exciting to see how he develops.

    It's rare for a CD to come in and be the perfect player from Day 1. How many hundred's of millions have Man City and others wasted finding that player? He was always going to take time to adjust, give the guy 15-20 games and he'll be the defender we want him to be.

    To me we looked like a team that was playing it’s 5th game in 14 days. Everything seemed a bit slow and not in sync. Liverpool looked like a team fully rested. Its fine margins at this level and we need and will become better.
  11. QldVilla
    A little sad to seen him go, but the game has passed him by in the PL and his body can’t stand the rigours. Wish him well.

    It was a Spurs team in 4th CL position for most of the season until Conte has his meltdown. Spurs decided to go for a younger new CB position rather than an ageing one with the new manager. Doesnt make him a bad player.
  13. QldVilla
    Not surprised by this link, I expected a CB on loan to come in and Lenglet is a very good option.
  14. QldVilla
    I think Emery has shown that he will only bring in a player if they are the right type. Injuries aside we weren’t far off a very good squad, it’s going to come down what Emery thinks we may still need or maybe a loan cover for CB. Maybe 1-2 more.

    Wish Coutinho the best, we saw glimpses of his talent but not enough to impact the starting lineup. Unlike a lot of players who are driven by money he was prepared to make a sacrifice to play regular football. he could have also refused to move but is doing the right thing for him and the club. Good luck.

    The Terminal…

    I'm talking about their mentality and how they approached the opening game of the season. howe had those players wound up and ready like a Cup final, not the first game of the season.
  18. QldVilla
    I watched the game over again today and confirmed my opinion that Newcastle played that game like a Cup final, you could see it in the players trying to get their fans going etc. They can't play any better than that and we had 3-4 of our staring players unavailable. Newcastle sent out a statement, but they can't play at that level week in week out, but knew they had to beat us. Normal service will resume next match.

    Aussie, Aussie, Aussie…!!! Great game here in Brisbane, looking forward to playing England should they win.

    Sport sciences aren’t there to predict when an acute injury may occur. They help prevent, but you can’t prevent when an athletes body will push back. It can happen to any athlete at any time in their career and it can happen to anyone of us at anytime for the most simple reason. Being an elite athlete is about pushing your body to its limits, this is true across most sports, but the body also pushes back when you reach those limits.

    Careful Nick, I’m not one to stand up for …but
  22. QldVilla
    I still believe there’s one or two players that could still come in, but we need to move a couple on first.
  23. QldVilla
    I’m sure he played there at PSG, before being moved out wider.
  24. QldVilla
    He needs to do better than last season and he had a slow start.
  25. QldVilla
    I can see Watkins scoring 20-25 goals this season in the PL, he will get the opportunities. If he can lift his game to that level then there is no need for a new striker. But if he fails to take those opportunities this season, then Emery may look for that elite striker to be the new number 1. Big season ahead for him.
