AVTuco Posted January 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2023 3 minutes ago, LondonVillian said: very poor window its looking like - weakened our squad The way I see it, we got Moreno and lost Ings. The others were dead weight. We may be "weaker" as a whole, but it's more quantity than quality, and we'll be in a better position in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton,fulham and those teams people were using as an example to say we should be happy are the same teams above us (they shouldnt be) correct again and our expectations from some of us are different but many are not looking high enough for the club of this stature. Not sure what else was stated for the onslaught. But once again mate, Ings wanted to leave. Would you rather a potential disgruntled player and to sell him for less? I get that he is experienced and stuff but what can you do when a player wants to leave? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what else was stated for the onslaught. Brighton are above us currently and have an 18 year old Irish forward leading the line. But Duran isn’t ready for some game time from the bench 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie09 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 26 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: Why are people angry? This season is a bonus. Clearly the plan is let Emery bed in his system and work on getting players we really want in the summer. There’s no point signing people for the fun of it. We’re not realistically going to get into Europe this season and we’re already safe. Let Emery work with the squad and get his system perfected and then we can spend money far more wisely in the summer. Nail on head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put so much effort into scouting and scouring the Internet for transfer tweets, but the club has let him down badly! No wonder kids, no random players from the Chilean league, no diamonds in the rough, Nothing. Nada. F-all. **** you Lange, Emery and Purslow! **** your all! Was gonna watch Boyacá Chicó v Jaguares de Córdoba in the Colombian Primera A tonight as well. But I think i'm gonna give that a miss now. Time for me for for me retire. Its been fun Villa Talk.

TRO Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 4 hours ago, Powehi said: Again, even though you're clearly a seasoned Villa supporter and an articulate poster, you're skirting the key issue here - that Emery has sanctioned all of this and is essentially stating he is happy to work with this group of players only for the next five months until we can buy again. He is a respected and proven manager who has also drastically overturned our fortunes with these same players, give or take. The additions have also begun, and we have a player returning from injury and a player returning from loan. You do the fans that are content with where we are a disservice by painting us as content underachievers, where the reality is that we pick Emery's experience over yours. Strengthening can come in different ways, and it may not always involve chucking extra bodies at things. We now have a tight knit squad playing one game a week until the summer. The vast majority of them are now familiar with Emery's methods and tactics. Players are available to replace those in the first team who occasionally get suspended and lose form. Such unity may have gone a long way to dispelling Gerrard's toxicity from the dressing room. There will obviously be games lost as well as won, but we are in a good position to challenge for top 8. You or I do not know UE's true feelings of this window.....so we can both, only speculate FWIW. none of the additions, truly represent the alleged intentions of the manager.....left back cover, and a rookie forward. I am not painting any picture, the picture, paints itself....as for UE's experience over mine, thats laughable, he is a professional football manager and I am a spectator....so lets get that clear. I don't think most fans are so insular, that they think, throwing bodies at the team building, will suffice....most are more discerning than that. UE's performance to date, is not in question from me, but the support to help him continue the Momentum is....If he comes out and says the clearout was necessary on to the summer rebuild, I will accept that with his sincerity. I hope UE is happy with the situation, if he is so am I......We will know in time. I am rather hoping, all will be revealed, in due course.

Demitri_C Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) All im saying im ok with it as it is fir this window but if we are not backing emery in the summer with serious investment then the fans wont be happy and i can't see emery hanging about. Has to be some serious backing come the summer Edited January 31, 2023 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
