However, I thought the same about Moreno in January and have been blown away and I now trust our set up 110% so if they think he'll offer us something, I will trust them until it's proven otherwise. Whereas I thought Moreno was a great signing, having watched very little of him before the initial link. When linked I went and watched a lot of videos, looked at stats, style of play and thought he’d be great. Always worry about some downsides of course but I was pro getting him in after I did my research on him. I do agree, my knowledge is poor compared to the club and I’m only providing my opinion like all on this website and I trust Emery and his recruitment team over anything I say or think and will support anything they do like you are as well. I’m not concerned either way, it’s all very exciting for the summer recruitment. Edited May 17, 2023 by nick76 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 "Only a friendly" disclaimer but Spurs fans were raving about his performance earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Not sure why this has been bumped, signing Tielemans ended any interest as he's a very similar type of player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DM article from 2 days ago that talks about him to Napoli has link to our interest as old as June 8th. Just another he played for Emery so Villa are interested lazy link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also continued to be linked by reliable folk as recently as about a week ago despite what our cheery friend Kiwi has said above, so pretty relevant in the grand scheme of things.

My initial post was literally on the topic of the sport that this forum is based on and it's only been the following posts from others that are - once again - referring to random subjective forum etiquette that most people couldn't be arsed with. You've made your point rather often that you dislike transfer speculation during the transfer window, some of us don't feel the same though, so c'est la vie and let people get on with it. Lo Celso would be an interesting one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see the space for him anymore. We have Kamara, Luiz, Tielemans, Ramsey and McGinn as experienced CM options. I know one of Ramsey/SJM will probably play wide a fair bit but that's still plenty and we have Tim and A. Ramsey pushing to try to be part of the squad. Haven't even mentioned Nakamba and Sanson who I expect to have both left permanently by middle of August, Nakamba perhaps this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
