    I remember quite a few on here after that game calling him "the new Heskey" because he didn't convert an easy chance in addition to that lob, but it's to be expected on VillaTalk.
  2. If Emery wants Deulofeu, I back him to be a huge success here. He offers us something we don't have in the squad and has pace/quick feet, which we need in this system.

    Hopefully one for the future as he does not look ready for the Premier League yet, IMO.
  4. Marcus Thuram still hasn't signed for a club yet... Rumors flying two weeks ago he was close to a Newcastle deal, this week it's Chelsea, but who knows anymore with their scattergun approach to signings... Might be possible he's our #1 target and we're dealing with other clubs also trying to negotiate for him.
  5. Not really... The players they'll want to offload won't be good enough for a team pushing for Europe or will be on the wrong side of their prime on huge wages. They won't part with their young core.
  6. Goes back and forth between being prime Ashley Young and dogshit N'Zogbia with every touch of the ball. His one footedness is really being exposed right now, but luckily Leeds' mid-table Championship defense kept letting him cut inside onto his left over and over again tonight. Even with his limitations, if he can just pick his head up every once in a while and pass to a teammate before dribbling down blind alleys, he'll still be a threat in the Premier League from the bench/rotation. Just can't be expected to lead the line week in and week out or we'll continue to have problems creating goals.
  7. I still love Buendia... Never stops running and gives his all every game. 2 goals in the last 3 Premier League games isn't a fluke. I think he's a good fit for this system, but we need another willing runner opposite him on the other flank. "BuT hE gIvEs ThE bAlL aWaY!1!11!!!" lol... Give it up already...

    Unai Emery

    With 13 points from 18 Emery is off to the best league start since Gregory in '98... Posts like this above really show why... There is a new "Special One" in the Premier League and he manages the Villa!
  9. Would be very very happy with this after Gerrard's horrific start to the season. Puts us into the shop window for good summer recruits to see our potential and ambition.
  10. No, he was a standout at Arsenal under Emery. Signed at 18 and impressed so well during preseason that he started in midfield for them. Had an epic fall out with Arteta after an altercation with Neil Maupay and was bombed/loaned out of the team for "attitude reasons".
  11. I don't see us shelling out 40 million for him to displace Dougie in the center of the pitch... You'd think that would be one of the last positions to upgrade after his performances under Emery so far... No, I think he's going to take the McGinn/JJ spot out wide in defense, and pushing central in possession.
  12. I honestly can see him playing in place of JJ out wide. He's played as more of an attacking midfielder for Marseilles this season. Martinez Young - Konsa - Mings - Moreno Guendouzi - Kamara - Luiz - Buendia New/Bailey - Watkins/New
  13. Best left back debut since Tony Moon! You could see just how much more dangerous we looked on the counter with his pace bombing forward along the left wing. Looks to be a great signing!
  14. Amazing player... We now have 2 world class players in the team... Martinez and Kamara.
  15. Get fooked, Leeds... Scumbag team, scumbag fans, scumbag club... 3 points yet again... Moving on up the table like the God damn Jeffersons
  16. You just knew Bumford was going to score when he came on... FFS
  17. He goes back and forth between being prime Ashley Young and bottom tier N'Zogbia with every touch of the ball.
  18. 2nd goal has taken all the wind out of Leeds' sails...
  19. Unlucky Moreno... That right there is why he's been signed... That pace gets us going on the counter.
  20. He's been great this 2nd half... Defensively superb and linking well with Moreno at times on the left.
  21. Need to reshuffle out tactics because of the injuries to Digne & Watkins have forced changes. Leeds play a very high press and you can typically counter that sort of play with speedy outlets for a counterattack, but with Watkins off the pitch, Ings doesn't stretch the pitch enough to help relieve pressure. Need to shuffle our shape around again at halftime and I trust Emery to do so. We dominated play until Watkins came off, then they've gotten the better of us since.
  22. They're literally throwing 8 bodies at us up front because we have no pace to hit them on the counter with Ings on and Bailey back in our own third defending.
