  1. Solanke is a good backup to Ollie, but not on his level.
  2. Do we really need a RB or better cover at CB? Because Konsa looked like an elite RB last night to me...
  3. Took him 5 months or so to fit into Emery's system - feels like that should be our baseline expectation for any new player. What Emery has them doing isn't simple.
  4. If we beat Arsenal we're going to start the new year top of the league. Punch it now.
  5. Eh. It impacts everyone. It's like you get a few extra nuclear missiles and Russia gets a few extra nuclear missiles and it cancels out. All that happens in the end is price inflation - players cost more for everyone.
  6. There just isn't quite the cutting edge or motivation there for bottom half teams, and a three day turnaround. That's the challenge of fake European football. Going to have results like this. A point flattered us I think, but we're always threatening up front. Some praise to Emery for the change up - it bought us the equalizer. A little disappointing with all the results around us this week and the next two games we have - but glad to get a point and move on.
  7. Everyone is for sale at the right price. Gotta hit the bid when it's aggressive.
  8. If we're top 4 by Christmas not going anywhere.
  9. Best thing to happen to Villa, full stop. Bottom 13 teams build around one player...
  10. If we are competing top 4 - I don't think he will want to leave in Jan. If we make CL, he stays for sure in Summer too.
  11. That would totally blow up the league. Be more exciting brand of football that's for sure. Think fans would prefer that.
  12. Spurs look buried with their injury list. Expect them to go down to City this week.
  13. Pro's - seeing opposition fans sinking when they have multiple goals per game disallowed... Seeing the most exiting brand of football I've every seen Villa play in 30 years of supporting them. Con's - Mrs isn't a fan of the stains on my boxers
  14. There's always a price. If someone comes in and meets it and Unai says OK then he can go. I'm confident we'll spend well on the other side of it. But if we are 2 points off the top by January 1, that price is going to be astronomical...
  15. Let's throw out a hypothetical, and I know they aren't like for like but let's do it anyway... Someone comes in with 100 million offer for Doug - anyone feel more comfortable about him going for that price now Youri is showing potential?
  16. I felt he got the first half wrong, and he knew it. I was impressed with how he changed it up - we have a lot of options on the bench to do that, and unlike previous managers he has more than one plan and is willing to adjust as needed. No matter how much pressure we took, we always have the threat of going up the other end and scoring one more than them. Very enjoyable brand of football to watch. Project will keep evolving and we'll get more and more pieces to improve at the back.
  17. Head on over to the Spurs forum if you want a bit of a laugh. "Hope someone breaks Cash's legs". i mean it was a bad challenge but he didn't go into it trying to hurt the guy. Calling us a boring club with no trophies... might want to fact check that!
  18. Bad first half, but we stuck around. Emery plain got it wrong. BUT - he changed it up perfectly in the second half, and we deserved the victory in the end.
  19. Emery makes average players good, and good players great.
  20. He's mega sht - what's he done in our last 10 games, huh. Nothing hahaha...
  21. Tonali pleaded guilty and 10 month ban.
  22. It's a business and that's a handsome profit. You buy 2 new players for that.
  23. Agreed, but that's not the point. Just asking what or who does it take to turn his head.
  24. I'm confident he wouldnt got to Real or Barca. or any non-PL team. I am less so about him getting tapped up in the PL.
