Zatman Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 7 minutes ago, The Moustache of Teale said: There’s a bit more to it than who’s going to qualify for Europe - the answer to that one is obvious. Money is obviously a huge factor, but the project that the club is selling to players can’t be overlooked. Prospective players couldn’t help but be impressed with signings of the likes of Coutinho and Kamara. We may have finished 14th last season but given what we are trying to build we’ve got to be an attractive proposition to players. More attractive than a number of the teams who finished above us last season. While thats true you can still understand why a director of a team that consistently qualify for Europe would be miffed to lose a player, any team can float a project but you have to back it up on the pitch Its just a comment for the fans, its like some people getting angry that Targett made a throwaway comment about the Newcastle dressing room. A lot of sensitive people who are looking to get angry at opposition clubs, way too much Leeds influence on here in recent seasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it from anything other than a Villa perspective, you can see why eyebrows would be raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say us your lying Jose Maria Cruz de Andres has no idea what Villa will achieve with Carlos and co, it is not for him to discuss Villa or make reference to Villa's sporting project.

A lot of sensitive people who are looking to get angry at opposition clubs, way too much Leeds influence on here in recent seasons It isn't sensitivity. I just believe some people have pride and hope in the Villa, which rightly or wrongly makes them more protective of the club. Calling out crap that is unfair about the club or/and players is right imo. Being bullish about Villa's prospects and hopes is healthy too. I just wish a few more could have a bit more pride in the club at times. Get behind the bloody club! Furthermore, I don't agree with this Sevilla guy - I think he treats Diego Carlos like a piece of meat in that article ("players like this who are 28, 29") and is tarnishing DC legacy to save his own bacon. Cowardly. Honestly, he can say what he likes about Villa - he has no say over our fortunes. Just a noisy man from Spain, bankrupt of class and dignity.

Don_Simon Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 9 hours ago, Villa_Vids said: What a bitter man. I guess fear and jealousy are driving his beliefs. Fear of his own supporters questioning him. He will happily take our cash in a heartbeat but spin the line that the player is all about money - simply to deflect from his failure to convince Carlos to stay. No Jose, you are about the dollar. Diego also helped win them the Europa League too. Show some decorum and class - keep silent and respect Carlos' service to your club. No need for digs and false characterisations, especially from a director too. This guy needs to be more vocal about the uneven distribution of the La Liga cash going to Madrid and Barca, that is the big reason you struggle to hold on to your better players. Jose Maria Cruz de Andres is simply a lap dog for Real Madrid & Barcelona. This is a really **** weird take. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 14 hours ago, VillaHatesMe said: Story confirming Newcastle had agreed to a deal with Diego in January but Sevilla didn't want to sell him. Also Sevilla's director takes a shot at Villa! https://www.90min.com/posts/diego-carlos-sevilla-chief-reveals-why-newcastle-january-transfer-fell-through Makes total sense what that lad has said. Explaining why the CB who made La Liga team of the year was sold. He would certainly have more success trophy wise at Seville than at Villa but financially moving to us is surely right decision for him at this stage of his career and given he has been a late bloomer too. What salary would he have been on at Seville? he joined them from Nantes for £13m. Villa will be his big contract of his career for him and his family.

Popular Post Don_Simon Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2022 10 hours ago, Villa_Vids said: Not really. Okay, here we go... On what planet is the CEO of Seville remotely bothered about Aston Villa? It's absurd. They consistently win European Competitions. We, I think, do not. Further, "no Jose, you're about the dollar". The article you've read literally states they turned down selling Diego Carlos to Newcastle in January, (which I'm assuming would be for more than we paid due to the Saudi Tax), because they couldn't find a replacement. The polar opposite of "all about the money". Seville are one of the best run clubs on the planet. The CEO has zero reason to "fear" his supporters. They either already have a replacement for Carlos, who they'll sell for X amount more than they paid for him in X amount of years, or they'll buy one this summer and do the same. La Liga has a fairer distribution of money than the Premier League I believe. One of the reasons why Barca have struggled financially so much and Real / Barca pushed so vocally for the ESL. Finally, "show some decorum and class". Like Villa fans do you mean when players leave? What were your thoughts on Purslow's post Jack leaving video? I loved it. Transparent communication as to why the transfer happened, is that really any different to what the Seville CEO has done? Our own fans acknowledge the only reason these players are joining Villa is for money and Gerrard. I hope you cheer for Villa as loud at Villa Park as you do here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Those comments from the Sevilla director are so harmless. Amazed people are getting their knickers in a twist Think Diego will be a decent signing. He’s basically a replacement for Hause, so it’s a big upgrade. We now have 4 centre backs I’d be happy to see in any starting lineup, and a nice balance of footballers and stoppers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's crazy! He's a replacement for konsa, will be the RCB alongside mings Hause can be moved on if we can find him a club (which we should be able to, would start for half the championship) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think KV meant he’s a replacement for Hause in terms of our 4 defenders. Not in terms of Hause’s role in the squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
