As long as said person shares it sensibly without resorting to pettiness or idiocy (or worse, I’ve never understood why people feel the need to resort to personal attacks and foul language either) then it’s fine and constructive criticism is healthy… but making stuff up isn’t! There have to be genuine reasons for positivity too otherwise there’d just be dreamers and no realists… I’ve seen some disgusting language and aggression at times. It really is pathetic & embarrassing, some people need to grow up and develop a brain… Whisper it quietly but there is more to life than football/sport… more that’s worthy of getting worked up about too… This is not my experience at all but then I have got rid of Facebook, only follow Twitter accounts that aren’t going to wind me up and mute anybody that is inclined to post garbage. Take a bit more control of your social media and create yourself an echo chamber of calm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On any topic, on any day, from whatever leaning, there are people like this. The social media platforms are full of it. It’s not a representation of a group at all. You just have to ignore that in whatever forum, or day, topic, or side or whatever because in this modern world the social media freedom has allowed this vocal section. So it’s not Villa specific, all clubs will have it, all sport will have it, all topics have it, all sides have it. That’s why I’m on this forum than open sites like Twitter and Facebook to discuss it. Anyway back back to the matter in hand, transfers… Edited January 30, 2023 by nick76 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has had an interesting recent history and if it did have a future villa player on it, then there's any number of Spanish clubs that they could have come from. What we thinking? Even got a Sweden to brum trip in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If we don't sign anyone else at least emery will explain why this is the case in his press conference. So far he has been very open and explained himself well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarium Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) While the two incomings so far seem like good signings and the ings sale made sense from a business viewpoint, as things currently stand the squad is weaker now than at the start of the window. If no new signings are coming before the window shuts, I think it has to be considered a mildly disappointing window overall. Unless Duran is ready to hit the ground at PL level we are a Watkins injury away from playing with no recognised striker Edited January 30, 2023 by Icarium Fixing typos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are short of bodies but we want the right bodies in even if just a loan deal to cover us for the second half of the season. Ideally we want top quality signings that benefit us for the long term. If that’s not possible then a loan or two to cover potential injuries, future form issues and to provide Emery with options. If neither are possible then I agree don’t bring anybody in but it’s hard to believe that neither is possible and imo poor by the recruitment department. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fair to say that we don’t want the wrong signing but if we fail to strengthen (and actually weaker) and leave ourselves short going into the second half of the season within grasp of Europe then I think it’s ok for fans to question the recruitment and planning. For example, could we not have made decisions over Ings and Archer in particular later in the window? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 9 hours ago, Tayls said: This thought process just doesn’t make that much sense to me… why wait? So many benefits with doing it sooner rather than later. If it’s a case of us trying desperately to bring these players to the club and they are saying no, why would they come in five months time? We might finish the season terribly now (we probably won’t) and we’ll look even less attractive than if we go for it and try to finish 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th. I agree we don’t need squad fillers. It’s not the players is it, it’s the selling club having time to find a replacement and/or holding us over a barrel financially. we nearly went to the wall a few years ago due to mismanagement, it’s amazing how quickly people forget 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
