Keyblade Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I hope we show this lad proper support at VP this season. Unfortunately his signing was overshadowed by the rollercoaster that is currently Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I don’t want to be a lil Villa sensitive soul but I can’t shake the feeling he isn’t particularly thrilled to be here and we are just a stepping stone. Don’t really mind provided he delivers the goods whilst he IS here, but that’s just the feeling I’m getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just in the process of losing our club captain who's been at the club his whole life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we sell him for more and buy two more players that think we're a stepping stone. Don't get suckered into thinking these lads care about the club like we do, even 'one of our own' **** us off at the first opportunity. If he wants a move to a CL club he'll have to earn it, and that'll do us good. Romance is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid4ever Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 @JAMAICAN-VILLAN, don’t know why maybe @RichiBoi11reminded me earlier, but I am probably in Jamaica in September (resort destination change) how many Leon shirts should I pack into my luggage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Ings' thread started a couple of hours ago already nearly has a third as many posts as this one that was started two weeks ago. As much as Ings is a very good player if you'd have told me at the start of the summer that we'd sign him and Bailey I would have guessed that Bailey would have caused the more interest / excitement.

Even our boyhood fan is leaving for a record fee tomorrow. It’s part of modern football. Our aim as a club is to capitalise on this and improve each season by bringing in higher quality players each time and continuing to build on each season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise the lad was travelling non stop on the day, and even the Dad and others made it known that they were exhausted. He said all the right things, and even if it's just via his Dad, is very knowledgeable about the club. I reckon people can pull whatever they want from a situation, The likes of Benteke and Gueye straight up said we were a stepping stone when they signed. Baileys Dad made it clear, they were excited about the Villa project, and has said more than once, he thinks we can break top 3/4. He also said " Either Leon will light it up, and eventually join a top 5 club if it doesn't work out, or Leon will light it up with Villa, and take them to a League title " etc. I fear Baileys demeanor ( Droopy eyes etc ) on top of it might have him suffering from " Ayew " syndrome with a certain set of fans. Additionally, people need to realise that players, are players, they don't come here as Villa fans. However they often time end up becoming them!
