Loads of supporters from other clubs were happy to see us drop. Prob for the novelty of it, as much as anything else. And the fact that we stank the league out for about five years before we did go. Don't actually mind Lesta. A league title and FA Cup bagged in the last seven years. And none of this 'mind the gap' nonsense we get from some of our other neighbours. Their fans give us a bit of stick when we play (as it should be). But don't have the obsessive tendencies of the other lot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the fck do they think they are? I'm swimming against the current with the bitterness on here against Youri. But imo Villa have fluked getting a potentially top class player who's way beyond their level. This is what Villa always do. Always have. Steve Staunton or Julian Joachim or Lloyd McGrath or Peter Schmeichel or now Buendia and Youri. They wait like vultures for players who make their name elsewhere and opportunistically pick them up. Rancid club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very shrewd signing. Totally agree, I feel bad for saying this but if Deano had signed him I'd be worried. I trust Unai implicitly with our signings.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Nicolo Schira is reporting a €5m annual salary - so £82,000 per week. Seems low but maybe we have given a massive signing on fee in lieu of a transfer fee… Edited June 11, 2023 by Adam2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t real things. And also, wear sunscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His view is that Tielemens is spent in the middle of the park. A few posts on here say he “downed tools” last season. But for some apparent reason, only opposition fans with glowing reviews about their players get respected 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I’m gonna have to see him play for us before getting too excited. His lack of pace and general fitness are issues for me, I must admit. No doubting that technically he’s an excellent player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a fair few people on here worried about his general fitness and the amount of games he’s played at relatively young age when the links started surfacing. However, when an opposition fan says the same, he gets pelters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
