Emery wasn't asked about his absence from what I saw, so Thursday will be interesting. I don't fully get it, what's the story here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 He was playing for Colombia on Tuesday so I think just a slight knock he picked up and we decided not to risk him given it would've been a 16 hour trip to get back so fatigued aswell.

He's been in the doghouse for fair old time if that's the case. Don't be a berk now Jhon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 He has deleted all references to Villa from his Instagram. Nobody is bigger than Villa,certainly not a young player with a lot to prove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Whole lot of speculation going on here. I reckon there's a very good chance he goes out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Unai isn’t the type to hold a grudge.it’s very unlikely that he’s finished here might sit a few games out and thats it. Or there might not be anything to it at all after all he’s a 19 year old coming back from international duty and might need a short break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we had similar " mystery" around his return in the summer and it turned out to be nothing in fairness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 He's young, at a club on the up and under the tutelage of Unai Emery: think this little storm in a teacup will fizzle out. Tbh, if all of my stupid ideas at 19 would have been backed by thousands of pounds a week and broadcast to an audience of millions, I would've been bloody dangerous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a young player holding his own in the premier league I think he can be over emotional at times but his attitude and workrate seems excellent. People need to consider that the adjustment to new culture and country despite being in the US briefly can be difficult for a kid from one of the poorest areas in Columbia. It’s not like Jacob Ramsey transitioning into the first team at the club he’s been at since a child and with the support of family and friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's so easy for us as fans to just view players as numbers. When someone moves here from another country they're uprooting their whole life. Yeah I know they're paid very well before someone counters with that, but it can still be very difficult to adjust.

I'm also just speculating, but I still think we need a more experienced back-up to Ollie - so perhaps one has become available and we're loaning Duran out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cheltenham_villa Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 wouldnt be surprised if this is something about nothing and he starts on Thursday. A knock after an international game and a social media clean up because hes changed agency or something like that. Sometime i think we want something to be bad because everything else is going well. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Pure speculation and that tends to be crap as per the reputed falling out between Tielemans and Emery. He’s probably got a knock or maybe had an immature reaction to being subbed at half time…. But he’s younger than Louie Barry so even if there was an issue I’m 100 percent sure Emery would forgive and forget if he apologised and applied himself in training .

MotoMkali Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It's worth saying that if he just slept over in Colombia or Ecuador when he got the flight back to Birmingham he wouldn't have been arriving until late Wednesday or Thursday morning by the time he's rid of the jetlag it's Friday or Saturday if he's not been part of the preparation for the game I doubt emery wants to play him.

Although Unai does often put players on the bench who don't have a chance of playing, eg a second kepper or players who aren't fully fit. Dunno, it just seemed a very strange, overly expensive signing from the word go, and not one that Unai had anything to do with. He just doesn't seem like an Emery player to me.
