The Fun Factory Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Good signing. On a free, still fairly young with a point to prove. Done in the usual quiet way. Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Even though some speculation. It still feels like its from nowhere. Great signing for us... I'd assumed Newcastle or a top 4 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 An excellent piece of business if you ask me. He’s had some tough times recently but joining a team on the up and with Unai coaching him, he can be back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Lets hope he wants to be here because he clearly didn't want to be at Leicester last season. The way he downed tools was disgraceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his Villarreal and Sevilla lineups. It’s what he does. So if you are underwhelmed by this signing, it’s probably a good thing and it probably won’t be the last time. Completely agree mate. Moreno was £12,000,000. Borderline half a Chukwuemeka. Half a Digne. A fifth of Marc Cucurella. What would Moreno cost Chelsea or City now? Double? Treble that? Same old story, love everything the coach does and then be incredibly disappointed when he signs a player who does not excite the fanbase. Its exciting to have players who train to make each other better. Who competed with Ollie last season? Or Konsa and Ming's? You want Champions League, get used to a squad like this.

He was on £120k/week at Leicester and I'd imagine we're paying him more to bring him to Villa Park. Our 5 highest earners are now Kamara, Digne, Coutinho, Tielemans, and Diego Carlos, 4/5 players not in our starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just kind of is what it is Not overly worried about who earns what The wages in general are only heading one way Edit - another way of looking at it would be all of our top earners were signed in the last 18 months, which says something in itself Edited June 10, 2023 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was linked with arsenal no one batted an eyelid and thought he was top 4 quality. Now we get him he is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 1 hour ago, MaVilla said: interesting midfield 3 there....... very surprised by kamara's stats tho tbh. Looks to me like we will see a 4-3-3 with Kamara playing slightly deeper / defensively and looking to lay the ball off to Luiz or Tielemans to try and look to initiate our more attacking play. Means that Moreno can continue to have licence to bomb down the left and not leave us exposed to the counter. I know stats aren't everything but for him to be comparable / ahead of Luiz for last season makes me think that maybe he's not been as bad as may have been suggested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the youtuber who made the video has forgotten that a lot of the long balls would've been because of Leicester's direct style of play and more likely to be a ball into a channel that is more likely to be cut out.

Villan_of_oz Posted June 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2023 I'm slightly unsure about this, not because I don't think he is a good player because he definitely is but unsure because of how poor Leicester were and how little fight that tram seemed to have. However my feelings are overuled by the simple mantra I follow.... In Unai, I trust Welcome Youri, you are now a Villan! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
