  1. I really don't care who other teams are in for right now... I have full confidence in Emery to put together a team to get us into Europe over the next few transfer windows. Going to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
  2. Digne is much better than Targett. Targett himself thought so which is why he wanted to leave and not even try to fight for his place in the team because he didn't think he could compete... To your quote about heart or bottle, this is spot on... https://talksport.com/football/1043839/matt-targett-newcastle-aston-villa-lucas-digne/ “It was a difficult decision because obviously last season I was pretty much the only left-back,” Targett began. “I knew the club wanted to sign a left-back and I was quite surprised when they signed someone like Lucas Digne.” He continued: “Obviously he was out there at the time, the club had to do what they had to do, but yeah it was quite hard to take, to sign someone of that calibre. “But if that’s where the club wants to go then I completely respect that. At the same time, I’m 26 – I don’t want to be sitting on the bench. “I want to look back at my career and have played as many Premier League games as possible so that’s probably one of the main reasons [why I left], yeah.”
  3. McKennie is very similar to McGinn in style. Lots of energy, all action, and a jack of all trades, master of none. He's a solid 8 but considering how divisive McGinn is in Emery's system, I don't he's a good fit for us now.
  4. This guy is again, hedging his bets... Saying on one hand we aren't signing anyone then on the other saying we'll buy Deulofeu if the deal makes sense.

    Unai Emery

    "Several people, myself included said while we welcomed the appointment, we HOPED the appointment would not be another worst Villa manager in the history of the Premier League era, but I never said I was against his appointment." Baffling that you're even trying to defend the original statement here... "I'm ok with it as long as it doesn't turn out to be the biggest disaster in the history of the club, then I'll say I told you so."
  6. Fantastic performance all around by the boys. 1st half we completely blunted their attack to the point where Harry Kane didn't even get a touch on the ball for the first 20 minutes of the match. We caused all three Spurs CBs to pick up yellows for trying to disrupt our counter attacks way too aggressively, so it was only a matter of time in the 2nd half for space to open up for us to do our thing going forward. Emery's Setup: Very Good again - Amazing to have a genuine world class manager in charge of us. 3 wins from his first 4 league games in charge. MoM: Douglas Luiz was immense on both ends of the pitch, but you could also make the case for both Kamara and Young, who didn't put in a foot wrong either UTV!!! Let's go on a run this January!!!
  7. We've completely disrupted Spurs' setup here. Kane didn't have a touch for the first 20 minutes of the match and now all 3 Spurs CBs are on yellows. Trusting Emery to make the right tactical changes in the 2nd half so space will open up and we'll create chances. Good performance so far.
  8. Agreed. Would prefer him over the very overrated Sarr.
  9. Deulofeu wouldn't be a signing people would be excited about, but he's been playing very very well for Udinese for a few seasons now. For the right price he'd provide good competition for Watkins/Bailey up top or would be a great option off the bench if we need to score a goal late.
  10. The more I think about it, the more I think Lyric is a fraud: Sarr - There were a lot of rumors flying around Twitter and Reddit about the deal being off before the mainstream media picked it up. I don't think he was the first to break the news. Emery - I remember distinctly that there was an obscure Spanish reporter on Twitter speculating a few weeks before Gerrard was sacked that Nassef Sawiris was in Villarreal speaking to Emery about becoming the Villa boss. I remember this getting dismissed by most Villa supporters on Twitter as nonsense because "this would be something the CEO/DOF would be handling and not Sawiris himself." We know after the fact that this did indeed happen and the Emery appointment was in the works for some time. Lyric did say that Emery was our first choice with Thomas Frank the backup a few days after Gerrard got the sack, but then said the following week we missed out on both of them because we "left it too late" because Frank signed a new deal and Emery would not leave Villarreal because their VP passed away and didn't want to leave in the middle of the season. Only after the mainstream media got wind of Emery did he actually go out on a limb and say the deal was confirmed and would be announced "soon"... It was announced several days later. Douglas Luiz - Saying he's going to sign a new contract then eventually months later he actually signs it isn't insider info, sorry. Deleted posts - He deletes a lot of stuff, case in point being that we won't sign anyone this January before getting rid of the Tweet. A genuine ITK doesn't need to gloat or rub it in the face of every other Villa supporter as much as he does. #SmallDickEnergy
  11. Literally a Charlatan... The first news that comes out in the negative he'll claim it as his now... A player we're linked with signs with someone else A player some like ends up being sold this January Signing a player most don't rate this January Martinez extends his break and isn't back for Spurs this weekend A player picks up a long term injury in training this week Emery slips on a banana peel and breaks his ankle etc... This guy got two things right so far... Emery and the fact that Sarr's deal was off. Spends more time gloating and taunting other Villa Twitter accounts than actually sharing info.
  12. I honestly think Phil is going to thrive under Emery... Will be the first time in a long while where he's actually played for a competent manager.
  13. I guess I'll just go fook off and not bother talking about football on a football forum then... Let's just stop speculating and let VillaTalk die due to lack of traffic...
  14. We need the following soon: Fullbacks - Young isn't getting any younger and we need a backup/developmental player in each role to provide depth and eventually replace Cash/Digne in the team. Central Defender - Konsa isn't good enough to be a top half Prem starter and Mings will get pushed out of the starting rotation by Carlos this summer. Bednarik & Chambers don't play well with a high line and need to be replaced as well. Forwards - Ollie works hard but can't finish for his life... Need to spend big here on at least 1 starting forward, but possibly 2 if Bailey doesn't grow into the role in the 2nd half of this season.
  15. Injuries have always been his downfall... Just when he starts to get a run going in the first team he'll pick up an injury and loses his place in the team.
  16. Meaning he scores penalties, rarely scores from open play, and talks a lot about NFTs?
  17. There have been several players over the years who have come from MLS and been decent in the Prem (McBride, Friedel, Guzan, Howard, Dempsey, Bocanegra, Donovan for his Everton loans, etc.) but absolutely none have turned into world class players who would thrive leading the line for Villa as we push toward European competition. The two best players of all time to have ever come out of MLS have been Alphonso Davies and Miguel Almiron. That says something about how shit the league is. There is a reason why the USA failed to qualify for the 2018 world cup... The team was made up of a majority of players who ply their trade in the MLS...
  18. I'd avoid any player from MLS... That league is straight trash, and I say this as an American.
  19. Why is Buendia marking VVD????
  20. That's the game... Horrific defending everyone ball watching and our forwards can't finish in a brothel.
  21. Agreed... We've dominated the game so far with their worldie of a goal being the exception.
  22. McGinn playing well so far
