Im sure Jack, Deano, NSWE, Purslow have all pitched the target this season has to be Europe. I think they all believe a tilt on top 4 is secretly the aim without coming out and saying as much. Jack is once in a lifetime, his ambitions are clearly CL football sooner rather than later. Imagine we do it. The squad is beefing up now. Keep Jack fit, and it could very well be possible.

MotoMkali Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Keyblade said: According to Fbref he was 3rd that season behind Mahrez and De Bruyne. Unless I'm misunderstanding what TB means here? Or maybe these are just attempted stats. Everywhere else I have seen Buendia did 12 TBs. And a couple of analysis videos said De Bruyne completed only 19 the last 2 seasons. Which also seems low. But I guess TBs have to be in behind the defence. Which are relatively rare.

Good to see we're targeting good personalities now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Great interview on the villa website. He seems really excited for the move. (And I love that Emi Mk1 **** Arsenal over). One thing in the interview that made me laugh... he comments on playing at Villa Park for Norwich when in the Premier League, mentions the amazing atmosphere. I was at that game. Boxing Day. I'd go as far as saying our worst performance of the season, the crowd were as flat as the players and although we won, I was resigned to us getting relegated after that game. It was THAT bad. So, imagine how he'll feel at an engaged Villa Park! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldnt believe we won that game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (Dean Smith) told me about the objectives of the club, how he wants the team to play and that was one of the things that convinced me to choose Aston Villa. “I like the style, the project and the ambition of the club to make very good things this season and in the future.

We’re clearly very ambitious but not revealing too much to those outside of the club… it’s a sensible approach as is everything to do with the way we have been run recently…feels so good to be a fan at this time…we suffered long enough for a club of our size, let the good times roll! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Full also on the inside stadium channel. Lets keep this channel on the down low it seems to be run by a heroic person at the club but may not be official p.s. this is yet another case where one of our players talks about the clubs ambition and its plans with excitement.
