  1. It’s not that bad a team… we can carry a threat and maybe Chambers will allow Luiz to get forward and create. McGinn and Diaby will help… Duran gets time and Ollie… please, get that goal mate
  2. Not too bad, would’ve liked some minutes for Kesler… dunno if he’s sticking around unless he comes on and makes some sort of impression. Chambers over Iroegbunam too
  3. All I want is for Ollie to score at least one goal…

    Unai Emery

    Just a short doc on the club for Australian TV, Optus Sport.

    But as he develops and improves, and follows Unai’s instructions (which doesn’t always seem the case, manager and captain have been visibly critical of him on more than one occasion) he will get more and more opportunities… may even get to play with Ollie at times and in cup competitions, against weaker opposition etc. and eventually take over if he can prove himself… I mean, the club gave him his big break and deserve some loyalty, respect and appreciation… We’ve also proven to be a much better side than Chelsea… we’re the ones in the CL…

    Most players at least have something to do with the club they play for on their accounts and repost or like related stuff… Jhon barely has anything of the sort and it just isn’t a good look or very clever to like another clubs content really… why create noise and negative attention? Needs to mature it seems…

    I think Unai is being intelligent with his latest comments too… making it sound like we are limited by what we can do (not necessarily the case or reality) and that big offers may be considered for certain players… I don’t see anyone leaving on the cheap and am sure that the intention is to keep our best players and keep improving… progression not regression…

    I hope he stays, commits and can bide his time… but it’s never really seemed like he’s completely settled or happy… Whether or not the social media stuff is a big deal or not… the guy has removed anything related to Villa and never likes or posts anything in relation to the club… The only club he seems to be interested in is Chelsea, judging by his likes or posts… the embrace with Poch was a bit concerning and he liked and reposted Tanswell’s post about it… Maybe he just likes the club (they continue to recruit youngsters from South America… maybe they have a lot of interest or coverage out there) and is not angling for a move but… there was enough to suggest that a move was at least being discussed or offers being considered back in January… Has kind of been harassed over his lack of game time when he’s been away with the national side… Not much to go off of.. but it does seem like he wants to be the main man and not just wait and put the work in… Unai has a job on his hands there… and McGinn is not exactly his biggest fan… I like the kid… but if he’s not committed to the club, he will have to go… and we’ll have to try and strike the best possible deal.
  9. Any proper DMs you’d like us to go for?
  10. Yeah he’s been mentioned here a few times now… I think it’s our most pressing need… after that, the full back positions need looking at. Bouba won’t be back for a while… I hope he can stop being relatively injury prone too… Hopefully we can stop having to shift players around or filling in, which is holding back or restricting their ability to affect games as much… Plenty to analyse and learn from this season… Unai will have gained a lot of information… We have to strengthen… tbh, we kind of struggled in the ECL and didn’t put many impressive performances in but I think it was a valuable experience… Done so well in the league and beat, even dominated, some of the big boys… but we need more players to stay fit and in form and avoid so many injuries and suspensions. A deeper squad will only help and some competition would be nice… Got to stop conceding cheap goals too.
  11. Don’t seem to be many top and genuine or out-and-out DMs out there do there? Especially that we could attract or afford… seem to be snapped up by the biggest or richest clubs. Bit like CFs these days… Any suggestions? What we need is someone who can do what Kamara does (but maybe a bit more physical, robust)… we will see Luiz shine again then… don’t see the need for more box to box players or typical centre mids, we have plenty of those imo. We need defensive players who make us tougher to beat. Then we can play more players in their best positions and roles… Luiz, Tielemans, McGinn, even Rogers and Ramsey can all play as the more attacking kind of CM. We don’t have a quality alternative to Kamara that excels in that area…
  12. Will be plenty of wheeling and dealing… CL puts us in such a great position and an even more attractive proposition… gonna be a busy window.
  13. What he does is score or have a blinder against us!

    mental think the gif was more than apt
  15. Regular starter… would he want to join us? Not sure who they’re willing to sell and who’d be interested… but who knows with their financial situation? Another problem is that they’ve been so stupid with their finances and put players on big contracts/wages… who is going to pay them anything similar?
  16. Yeah I’d tend to agree… wonder if there’s a “steal” in there though… especially for younger players or potential stars… No need for us to help them out though, only if it benefits us.
