Those three big clones they have in midfield. Norgaard, Jensen and Janelt. They could probably sell each of them for at least £20m each. Don't think any of them cost more than £5m. Recent transfers seems to be catching up with them. Schade(before his injury) and Flekken look a huge drop from usual signings. Damsgaard I thought would do well in England has been poor though he seems to have arthritis which is probably a reason Edited October 3, 2023 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 8 players out injured and with our limited squad it’s always going to be a struggle.since we got promoted we have only really sold 1 player,Raya to Arsenal whereas when in Div 1 and the championship we sold our best players every season Villa taking a few.Why we haven’t sold any in the PL is strange as I understand we haven’t had any serious bids for any of them so maybe they are seen as you say just average.Our team is still made up of many championship players our midfield 3 cost 7 mill.Just shows what a great coach Thomas Frank is and glad he stayed when Villa made an approached before Emery joined.Toney looks like he will be off in January but it’s not certain as with Wissa and Mbeumo off playing in the African tournament in January we will be well light up front and will only sell for top money.Think we will be just clear from relegation this year as there are poorer clubs but will be no tears from me when we return to the championship as had enough of VAR constant fixture changes and being in a league where you are just making up the numbers for the mega rich clubs and the main target is to stay in a league to pick up the TV money.Hope Villa manage to break into the top 6 this season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damsgaard I thought would do well in England has been poor though he seems to have arthritis which is probably a reason I don't think it's too bad. Perhaps not knockout bargains they're selling for 20x what they paid, but it's tougher to do that the higher you go. They'll still do it for Toney (who we should have signed) and Mbuemo. If they sell, they'll do very well from Hickey, Collins, maybe Henry and Onyeka if they ever get fit. I think Schade will prove to be a good top-flight player, maybe not PL, but he'll have a good career. Flekken does not look good. (Still better than Olsen) Very tough to replace Raya, he's top drawer. Pretty sure they got Damsgaard for a cut price due to that condition yeah. He's not looked right for years the poor lad. Brentford are still a team we should be learning from with recruitment IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on how they looked defensively last season and so far this Ben Mee is actually their most important player besides Toney/Mbeumo as the organiser. He didn't play the VP game and they could've conceded 8 and they've looked very dodgy out of possession this season. I think the other guy is right, most of their players just good in the system and would struggle or be unspectacular elsewhere. Hickey is still very young so he might come on to top clubs radars eventually given his versatility. Damsgaard is one who's flopped a bit, injured again so don't think he's quite got the physicality for the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Think they mostly sign good players but having a bit of a strange time of it this year, Toney is undoubtedly a big miss for them but some of their players havent quite had the impact they would have wanted, Schade, Keane Lewis-Potter and Damsgaard primarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Is Da Silva injured again? He's one I thought had plenty of potential when they came up and had good spells but they seem happy with the safety first midfield and Jensen the one to chip in with 4-5 goals a season.

Yes Again,he has an ongoing condition that looks like it could be career ending.Always thought he would eventually move on to bigger club as on his day has the ability to run a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 To be fair they're 14th, would be very surprised if they got dragged in to the relegation fight as they're not as bad as the shite down there, is it not just a case of them settling down and finding their place? Don't get me wrong they've had 2 great years, 1 in the top 10, not sure why there would be the expectation or demand for year on year progress up the table Fulham are the same In for a few boring years I think, safely mid table not going up not going down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire his usual oaf tackle nearly folded Hickey's ankle. Amrabat looks like a pub player going around kicking everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more the 1 win from 8 and averaging less than a point per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 They were a complete joke that last 20 minutes. Frank will probably spend the interview crying about what a nice lad Ben Mee is, we know differently. A deserved red and they completely lost their discipline afterwards. Not sure what Ollie's issue with their crowd is but basically it was Ghoddos going over to him that sparked the brawl after our second and then they had Maupay on just to try and get one of our players sent off which ultimately worked. Going to be a bit of needle in the VP game after that second half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
