Will always be remembered for the Championship play-offs and the part he played. I hope he gets picked up by another team, really quickly and gets to play a lot. Fantastic servant to the club, I wish him well.
-
Hopefully, we built in a clause in the contract that they have to buy him if they got promoted. Marvellous was never quite good enough for the level but might be useful for a team who have just come up because he has a bit more experience than any of their players. Great to see him doing well for them. If we can get three million, I'd be happy.
-
Absolutely. The player we are looking for is an upgrade to Ollie, or at the very least, someone who is interchangeable with him, not that I am advocating that we get rid of Ollie, but we need someone already tried and tested, not someone we have to wait for, or hope that they will make the mark in the Premier league. Worth a gamble, yes, but we need bigger and better players if we want to trouble the top 6. The clubs Gyokeres is being linked to are nothing special.
-
Perhaps I was being too subtle. Neither player will play for a decent side in the Premier Division. Gyokeres is ok in the Championship but won't find the space in the top division. Some nice touches, but he's playing against second class defenders. You want Villa to sign him and play him next to Watkins? It's a step backwards, huge step backwards.
-
Yeah, right up there with Scott Hogan.
-
Not a denial then?
-
It's a good point but Pep Guardiola recognised this and went out and signed Haaland. Hopefully, the likes of Alemany can find our own gems. I am not comparing Ollie to anyone else, he's been great this season but to finish higher, we are going to need more goals from a range of positions.
-
If you take away the goals from the players you mention, Man City, Spurs and Liverpool don't finish where they are currently. The point is, we need a top goalscorer, Watkins is a 10 to 15 per season scorer, as we know. We may need our own version of Salah, Haaland or Kane. We also need more of the midfielders to chip in with even more goals, that is the only way in which we can afford Ollie to be a 10 to 15 a season striker.
-
We need someone to hit 20 goals a season if we want top 6. I'm not saying Ollie can't do that but I'm not sure he's a natural goalscorer. He's been brilliant since Emery came in and hopefully isn't the finished article.
-
I am genuinely surprised that he hasn't been officially linked with either Tottenham or Chelsea as yet. He is likely to be better or as good as anything either of them end up with. I am very pleased he's ours.
-
Would be such a solid base from which to move the other midfielders around them. Luiz could also play further forward.
-
Does he get in ahead of anyone we currently have? Other than his set pieces, he offers little else and I am convinced we can do better.
-
Blimey, that side needs some work.
-
I'm sure Emery will have done his homework on other keepers around the world.
-
Wow! What a good piece of business if this really happens.
-
If he was any good, Emery would have rebuilt that confidence, just like he has with Mings, McGinn etc. The only real surprise for me is that we didn't bring in another midfielder to replace him.

I think it's very telling that Dean Smith, Steven Gerrard AND Unai Emery didn't use him widely. Clearly an issue with him. I trust Emery to bring players on, improve them, but the fact that he went the same way as his predecessors makes me think that the problem definitely lies with the player. Sell him, agree a pay off, whatever. He's finished at Villa.
-
Let's hope next season is a better one for him. Glimpses of brilliance.
-
I wonder if Sarr might be the back up plan.

I'd like to think we'd be the better option for him than West Ham. We are on the up, have Emery and don't have a Manager who seems to be one game from the sack.
-
Taken off at half-time. Engineering an argument and getting rid of him for a poor attitude? Whatever works.
-
Back him in the transfer market and we will be grand.
-
Nobody counting Bailey as the third striker?

He often seems anonymous but I think he does some unseen work on the pitch and as long as he keeps popping up to score goals, we can forgive him!
