My favourite ever Villa player- he has monster mentality

This is thr one team above all others I detest and never want to lose to. This season they are piss poor and we are having our best season in years. Yet they have somehow still done the double over us- FFS!

His continued absence from the team is killing is. He is the conducter of the Orchestra- without him we headless

Amazed how he always seems fit for the Afcon 

Looks rapid in that clip chasing down Kyle Walker,  after Walker seems to have had a head start

Yeah I think it’s clearly evident that we must stick with the Pau and Konsa partnership (so we need a new RB so that Ezri doesn’t have to fill in there) and the double pivot of Kamara and Luiz to keep momentum and success going…

There are players we can’t afford to lose… no more silly bookings/reds and some luck with fitness please… 

The drop off is too severe when we don’t have them available… a quality DM to push and cover Kamara would be a huge help. We can’t compromise on our style by playing much less capable players…

I’ll be satisfied if we manage to make those two signings… and welcome anything else if it happens… we could boost our attack but we have players to bring into form too…

Plenty of ups and downs to go for the rest of this season… no one really ever has a smooth or easy ride in this league…

Absolutely this and spot on!

For the first time in a long time, I feel like we have genuine quality throughout our squad. We have a system and we don’t seem to be weakened regardless of who slots in to certain positions. A lot of credit obviously has to go to Emery for this but it got me thinking, how valuable is our squad and IF (and it’s a big IF), we were brave enough to sell a big player to fund purchases elsewhere, how much would we get for each of our players? 

I’ve had a go below, trying to be realistic of course. Some players are hard to judge due to injuries and obviously age is a factor when it comes to sale value.

All values in £ Sterling.
Martinez 75m
Cash 20m
Konsa 50m
Torres 50m
Carlos 25m
Mings 20m
Digne 12m
Moreno 15m
Ramsey 60m
Dendoncker 5m
McGinn 35m
Kamara 80m
Luiz 90m
Tielemans 30m
Bailey 30m
Diaby 50m
Buendia 20m
Watkins 65m
Duran 20m

I don’t want us to sell any of our players obviously, but I’ll be interested to see how we fend off bids for our players in the Summer. There is absolutely no question teams will be looking at the likes of Kamara and Luiz. 


 

 

Add at least 40 million to each player's value and then we may even get close .

Ridiculously low valuations.

Southgate is the biggest managerial fraud out there. Playing ten men behind the ball, with four right backs and relying on brilliance from Kane or Bellingham is the sole tactic he has.

A PE teacher of a coach that only Luton, crystal Palace or Sheffield Utd would even consider appointing as a manager in the premier league. I wouldn’t even want him at the club coaching the under 12s for fear that he would indoctrinate them with his hideously negative tactics. 

Like another fraud we all know- who asked players to look him in the eye and waited for moments of magic. Gerrard / Safegate - same same- both turds you can't polish..

I had personally wished Ezri would declare for Portugal- I don't want him playing under the clown Safegate.

Top scorers in the league !!  More than Pep's City and Plopp's team.

Watching the Wolves - can we go and buy Mattheus Cunha- amazing player!

Interesting question and there are so many

Worst for me 

Dr Tony ( complete blagger) by a mile

Gerrard for being a complete fraud of a manager

others for a notable mention

Hodge as I adored him at the time

Delph

Boston Balaban

Doug holding us back 

Lerner for being a silent muppet

Collymore

Tactics Tim for being useless

Platt - just a clearing in the woods of a bloke since leaving

Graham Turner for being shite / Billy Mcneil relegation first time round.

Came to see Salah

Second time in recent weeks at the game with what I presume is his son/ sons. Hopefully the whole family have the Villa bug

Mcginn at times today was like prime Pirlo.

You love to see it!

When he is on it- definitely better that Traore

9/10 today- was brilliant!!

Does anyone know why they stopped playing Sweet Caroline after games we win? 

 I identify this as a Villa song more than any other / great feel good factor and singalong. Ticks all the boxes

Many people have in the past mentioned why we don't do similar to Brentford and/ or Brighton.  They seemingly buy great players, for minimal amounts and turn huge profits. 

Well this is potentially one way of replicating what both those clubs might be doing.

Win / win for me

442 Bosnich/ Martinez (love them both)

Delaney /McGrath/ Laursen / Bouma

Platt /Milner /Grealish / cowans

Yorke  Shaw  

Subs 

Sasa Curcic

Atkinson 

Dean Saunders

Benteke 

Ugo

Teale 

Benito Carbone

It's quite bizarre tbh. Digne, for me, is clearly a much, much better player than Targett and we got him for a song in today's market. I'd also add that I hate Gerrard more than just about anyone 

Think I may hate him more 

I love EmI even more because of the shithousery- born winner.

England won the fair play award - 1 yellow card all.tournament - 

Rather be a bit nasty and win

In the interview, he just comes across as soooo professional. Lives and breathes football 24 hours a day. Apart from his family no other distractions. 

We certainly won't catch Unai is any pubs on a Monday evening  or any other evenings

knock one out

Tomorrow can he please do a Liz when we don't win tonight 

Make no mistake - fhe longer this chancer stays the more trouble we are in.  He is damaging the players/ the fans/ everything!

Make no mistake Gerrard will be gone, as will Liz Truss- in both cases, it is  when rather than if.   

One taking a great club into oblivion 

the other selling the country down the toilet 

But both equally inept
