Similar to City when they first got took over. Edited October 12, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine he has a taste for trophies now. Hopefully he'll sign an extension and we get alot of money for him when the time comes. European football, will be come a pre requisite for all our players moving forward, such is the progress we pursue. We have to be bold enough to achieve it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply have to progress and meet our goals or suffer the consequences - obviously we have some leeway in terms of time frame but decent players won't stick around and stagnate if more attractive offers come along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel, what we are doing behind the scenes is right....The path feels right. Success creeps up on you, when you do things right, like demise, does when you do things wrong..... Aston Villa is not a club right now that players will be looking to leave, we have a clear ascending trajectory....its a big risk to give that up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post sounded a bit negative but I absolutely don't expect us to stagnate and lose players. We have everything going for us right now. Sharks will always circle and try to destabilise a good thing but we have to combat that through success. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely outrageous we signed a player of this quality for twenty something million. It was actually something crazy like 16 million.

Well even if they do come after Emi, they'd have to get rid of 2 of their 3 current first team GKs, which probably wouldn't be the most ideal considering the squad limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Whilst the Grealish pain suggests a cautious approach to player fandom, I can’t help it with Martinez. He’s so good it’s unreal, but I can’t see him moving on yet. We’re in the ascendency and we’ve backed him in his international escapades. He looks happy at Villa and I think he appreciates the chance we gave him. I think he’s here for another couple of years at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key difference for me is Grealish is a superstar, popular outside football, a global brand, and you just can't maintain that at Villa as we are now (in a few years hopefully!), Emi doesn't seem that way. He seems a genuine guy just happy to be playing football and winning trophies (albeit for Argentina). He's had a taste of being at an "elite" (according to the media) club and knows that playing regularly is more important Fingers crossed he's here for the rest of his career because I love the guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to do our best to keep him and I am sure our club will....It is well documented, Emi is well happy with us and after 10 years at a big club, experiencing a disparaging regime towards him..." once bitten twice shy" Emi will have a great career with us, and doesn't have to move anywhere to achieve it.....and he knows that.

The fanbase love him....where has he had that before, I am not naive enough to say, that alone will secure him.....but being happy, is a serious ingredient to mental well being. I just hope his family is happy at Villa, that too is important. He has never been appreciated as much as we do....That is a huge thing to give up, and even more so, with Emi's past. No, I think he will be with us for some time yet. Edited October 13, 2021 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I just can’t understand for the life of me why Arsenal let him go, £17m is peanuts in today’s market. It’s 1 of the worst transfer blunders in Premier League history. Let’s hope we can carry out more transfers of this magnitude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
