His Name Is Death Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 5 minutes ago, DCJonah said: I can't get this way of thinking. It's not our responsibility to pay a man millions and then have to sign a new player as cover so he can accomplish his international dreams. The whole world has had to make sacrifices because of this pandemic and people still do. I'm seriously leaning towards a **** them attitude to them both. I'll certainly have a lot less patience for future bad performances or mistakes if they choose to screw us over. You lose my support when Aston Villla are second best to you. I'm inclined towards the f*** them attitude as well, even though I appreciate that international caps are more important to South Americans than they are to Brits. We're just not in the same cosy position as Spurs, who can afford to lose Lo Celso and Romero, and I don't think our 'project' is yet so secure that we couldn't see a dramatic downturn in fortunes again.

WHY Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Would appear he is going against the wishes of the club if he goes. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I get he wants to play for Argentina but to go against the people who pay your wages is a little out of order imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 If we aren't their priority then why should they be ours? Why should the fans get behind them and support them, if they're prepared to potentially ruin our season. I'm really annoyed they'd do this. I don't care how important South Americans view international caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The reason Emi finds himself being called up and getting the number one shirt, is because we bought him, made him out number one, had an outstanding season...it's because of Villa he's getting these chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 But equally, we have probably sold ourselves to them as a great club to launch their international careers. Bit awkward if we then stand in their way. Im not pleased by the way, I’d hoped they’d just get the importance of their absence to our season. Just trying to play devils advocate.

Villa87 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The modern day footballer. Two fingers up at Aston Villa here if he and Buendia go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I understand them wanting to go but it is the disrespect they would be showing the club/fans by going that doesn't sit right with me. We desperately need these guys playing week in week out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 honestly, if he decides to go we need to sign a new keeper to challenge him, if he ends up benched for the next 3 years so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Disappointing. If we somehow beat Chelsea in the cup and eventually got to a final (highly unlikely), Martinez would have to feel no frustration in being left out if you turn the tables. Ultimately these missed games could cost us positions even Europe and said players (Martinez in particular) may question the direction of the club. This is particularly unfortunate for us given we are the only side to lose two key players. You wonder if we will actually see our strongest 11 this season on the pitch at the same time at this rate.

Just trying to play devils advocate. we arent standing in their way, the entire PL had decided on a course of action for the overall good of the clubs that pay them MILLIONS to play for them. No excuse to go against the clubs wishes in this situation, imo. Hopefully something will be sorted about the silly quarantine rules that allows them to play, but until then the request and decision by ALL PL clubs is perfectly reasonable imo. if i tried this s*** in my job i would be out on my a***.

rodders0223 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Don't pay him and if he kicks off he can sod off for a big profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 How much do we pay Martinez and Buendia?! Not taking into account we have spent £55 million on them. 4 players out of 63 have said they will be going away on international duty - if it was all of them then what can you do but 4?!

theboyangel Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 If they’re insisting then hopefully we can reach a compromise so they only feature in the first game or two so back in time to quarantine ahead of the Chelsea game. im sure the club will be looking at all the options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
