I don't imagine Man City players, fans, staff, board etc give a single shit about Villa Well, they have certainly found almost any excuse to sign our players over the years… Especially considering they have been able to afford anyone in the world they wanted… As good as Barry, Milner, Delph and Grealish were for us… they weren’t THAT good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine Man City players, fans, staff, board etc give a single shit about Villa There *might* have been an *element* of that being a factor in 2008. The idea that in the summer of 2021, Man City - having won the league at a canter - felt the need to stop the 'momentum' of the side who finished 11th is just laughable, an embarrassing case of Main Character Syndrome.

jacketspuds Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Can't wait for Klopp to talk about how unfair it is that Man City can spend this sort of money on Haaland and his poor Liverpool can only spend things like £75m on Van Dijk and £50m on Diaz.

If he puts 4 past us next season should we be grateful I get it. The more elite players in the league, the stronger the league is. How crap was the Prem viewed a few years back when no English teams got past the group stages or the CL or the first knockout stage? The better the league is viewed, the better players the other 19 teams can attract (which means nothing for the top 4-5 who already attract the worlds best, but for the rest of us, it benefits us (until we play city, but then, is Haaland really going to be the difference between us getting something at City or not)).

OhioVilla Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Dortmund will put that money to good use, they'll just reload and conquer the Bundesliga again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done a really good job of that alright, no title in over a decade now? Seems they have accepted their place as a feeder club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Another reason why I wish the scum 6 would f### off to the ESL. PL football getting closer to the Scottish league in terms of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still dont get it, its just Sky talk to build up the product. When La Liga was top dog in early 2010s nobody was queuing up to sign for Betis or Celta Vigo and it became a ridiculous 2 horse race like England now until Simeone showed up Edited May 10, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like seeing good players play football. I would have loved to have seen players like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Messi, Figo, Zidane etc playing in the premier league. None of those would have signed for us. I don't really see what the issue is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Sancho says hi, he was class at Dortmund I know Haaland has more quality, but who's saying he is gonna be a great in the Premier league, Budesliga is piss poor. It's much harder to score goals in the Prem than any other league, an anyone who has watched him, most of his goals come from bullying the defence, won't be so easy in the prem. All them goals too and they are 2nd in there League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A duopoly does not equate to a strong league. A competitive League where everyone has a reasonable chance of a win on any given day would be much more preferable for me at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
