Zatman Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Veretout and Gana made the squads and Ayew and Grealish probably will too. Not sure if Guzan has retired but we could as many players from our relegation season going to the World Cup than our current team {I dont count Richards on commentary} 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitvilla Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Villa players not making the World Cup is a mixed blessing. Good from a training and injury point of view. Not so good from a club and player point of view where everyone can "showcase" their talents and demonstrate their quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? and then get cherry picked by Man City when they prove themselves to be pretty good or popular to fans? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you think Man City are not aware of who is pretty good or popular? At least the player's value to Villa increases if they do well at the World Cup. I don't think Villa Park should be seen as a graveyard for international careers. But that's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support everyone but England in this World Cup... I want Southgate to get humiliated... and I would like Grealish to be the one to make the catastrophic error that costs us... and for the country to turn on him like they turned on Beckham, Southgate etc etc etc... It would be my preference for all of those things to fall into place... But I am watching none of it... You’re a petty, petty man @DJ_Villain and I 100% agree with you and feel the same! Honestly never gave a toss about the National side, another means of favouring the “top six” sides and their players, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither… but since the shifty Sheikhs took over, players international careers (particularly England) have been the graveyard of players playing at Villa Park… and frankly, I’d rather Aston Villa be successful than any other club or nation… Id rather be celebrating with Villa fans about the successes of Villa players, rather than cheering on “Sky 6” players with “Sky 6” fans in England disguises… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been called worse… Bottom line is, I’m a Villa fan, not a football fan… If there are no Villa players in the England squad, I have nothing in the England squad to support as there is nothing in there representing our great club… There used to be… in fact, we have produced more England internationals than a lot of clubs in the country… it’s either us or Spurs who have produced the most (I could be wrong, that was a couple of years ago)… But Mr Southgate loathes allowing Villa players in the starting lineup… They don’t play in the Champions League you see… which means they aren’t allowed to start… even if their form is really good… because having good recent form against world class domestic opposition isn’t relevant when you’ve had poor form against Slovenias finest in the Champions League group stages… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate wont be picking any of our players anyway, Young was on the shortlist 'allegedly' but Mings and Watkins wont be on the plane. They cant play Right Back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think it's amazing that our players haven't been picked. Everyone will be fresh after the long break and programmed into Unai's system. This is great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great news. or maybe certain players look at players that get to play at the WC just because they play for a big club and look for a move. i think we should hold off on popping the champagne corks personally grealish a classic example. barely got a look in despite tearing teams apart for us moves to city, does nothing, walks into every squad maguire another example. both mings and konsa get into that utd team...they could move there and be guaranteed a call up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if his removal from the England squad might be down to the fact he didn't want to play in Qatar? There has been no real explanation about his fall from the England squad. He was ahead of Coady and others and now is basically ignored. Its because he would not look Southgate in the eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Martinez Dendoncker Cash Bednarek All the above going but real shame for Mings, Carlos, Coutinho, Buendia, Digne and Kamara. All of which probably thought that they had a chance at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
