He's promoted it all day on twitter stating how big a piece it is because it includes all players. I'm genuinely serious in that I could have written the exact same with no contacts or inside sources. How he's paid to write about us in one of the biggest sports journalism companies is beyond me. He's hit the jackpot. I think he has tweeted all of the important information as well, dont think we need to look further into the article They wont be liking that at The Athletic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hause a maybe with Sanson I read his article where he talks about every single player on the books in the senior and U23 squads... Trez is as good as gone now... Negotiating a deal in Turkey this week El Ghazi will be off and there will be interest based on his past goals record for us Hause is on too big of a wage packet and we may be stuck with him unless he wants to take a cut to leave Davis will most likely go to Forest on a permanent deal, just need to negotiate a deal both sides are happy with. If not, there are other interested parties in the Championship Douglas Luiz will be off if we get a good offer for him... Or will stay if that offer never materializes and we offer him a deal more in line with is place in the squad Sanson & Traore will be difficult to move with their deals and we may look at loans for them to try to get over their injuries and find form again first Kalanic and Guilbert may be sold off for peanuts/released because the new loan rules dictate we can only loan out 8 players total next season and will prioritize the youth. Archer and Iroegbunam have every club in the Championship inquiring about loans, with interest also mounting for KKH, JPB, Carney, and the rest of the youngin's 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anything, you'd need to question the integrity of La Tercera (I don't know how reputable they are) but criticising Sport Witness for sharing what other publications are saying is like criticising villareport for doing the same and I know that nobody would criticise villareport...

He's hit the jackpot. It's incredibly disappointing to see the poor quality of writing standard the Athletic has for the Villa. I hold a subscription for the NBA content and it's well worth the money... My team's journalist actually is a fan of the team, travels with the team to every game (home and away), has exclusive interviews with the players/coaching staff, and will break actual insider news before other sources. He's the most trusted source for my team and is universally beloved by the supporters, especially because he puts out content every single day during the season and it isn't the same old recycled drivel. Compare that to what Evans puts out for Villa. It's one article a week at best, and nothing new is ever included in the article you couldn't have gleamed from stories written elsewhere. He doesn't interview players/coaching staff, doesn't have an inside scoop at the club, and isn't a fan (so he doesn't really have the pulse of the supporters). TBH, I could do as good of a job covering Villa for the Athletic based in the USA, if that's the level of quality they expect from their Premier League team. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That number will go down to seven from July 2023 and will reduce again to six from July 2024. The cap does not apply to players aged 21 and under, or players who are “club trained” – so those who have been with either their current club or another in the same national association for at least three years between the ages of 15-21. These are usually referred to in the Premier League as “homegrown” players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
