Aston Villa Banter 2

Well that final was awful. Arsenal parked the bus and failed.

Not Villa related but when commentators/pundits say ‘cynical foul’ shouldn’t it really be ‘clinical foul?’ Always baffled me that 1. 🤔

I don't understand how anyone can't see how great Emery is and the key to our success and the football we played when we beat Bayern and PSG last season and then City twice and Liverpool along with all Europa League games especially after making 7 changes in first 7 or 8 games of competition and can't wait to see just how far he can take us.

We do hes a Villa legend. My gripe was could he win us a trophy. Forget all the other stuff, il take playing crap and winning another trophy nxt season. Apart from my 4 kids being born and getting married to my wife, its the 3rd best moment in my life as a Villa fan.

Wont be doubting Unai again. And, plus, as I have to honour my bet from my mates and get Una tatoo on my bum, but I think it look better on my calf haha.

Frightened to look at Facebook, I keep losing my rag at all the rubbish click baits, about all the players, we are selling and buying. Same every year, but it still irks me. UTV.

Rogers does give the ball away a lot and that's because he's young and he tries to beat players. He goes missing in games because he's adapting to playing at the highest level for a lot of minutes. If he stays, he will get better. If he goes for £100M + and we reinvest the money wisely, then that's also good for us.
Regarding our finances; we are going to be in this position for a few years so we must get used to it, but I don't see how after getting money for Malen and Guessand.

Sancho, Elliott and Luiz going back. P. L., Europa League and next season C. L. money coming in. Sales/release of obvious, Bailey, Garcia, Mings, Barkley and youngsters that aren't going to play for us, Louie Barry, Lewis Dobbin etc. How does this not help us not needing to sell Rogers?

I think the SCR issue is as big a problem as PSR. We are at the upper end of what we are allowed to carry, which is, I believe, circa 70% of income. In terms of outgoings, we are likely to struggle to shift the likes of Bailey and Mings on because of salary demands; both are on in excess of £100k, and I'm not sure teams will be willing to pay that for either of them.

I reckon it's all bs paper talk about our PSR 'situation'. It just seems to me the press don't like us, think our better players would be better off somewhere else. For example, Rogers to Chelsea, not even in Europe next season, why would he leave? They keep on hammering this 1, £80M. Rogers gonna be a big player in the World Cup, his price will double that £80M if he plays well/we win. I'm hearing that Senisi & Mingueza on frees are pretty much nailed on, there's 2 starters that are gonna cost less in wages than Sancho alone.

We only need a few more players to freshen things up. Soule looks an interesting 1, & if you go back, he & Enzo are best friends, maybe he's gonna come back to the fold from Benfica, so there's another what would be like a new signing for free. I think we're gonna be ok. 👍🏻

Senesi all but signed for Spurs already.

28 May 2026 22:09:26
Is that according to the same sources that were selling Rogers to at least 3 clubs (can only sign for 1. 🤷🏼‍♂️) for £60M, Nez? Got 1 of those sources saying Senesi wants to stay in the Premier League & has held talks with Spurs, done deal then, even though the window isn't open yet.... 🤔

Barrenechea was sold in January. His obligation clause was met.

29 May 2026 04:50:31
Transfer Market has Enzo coming back from his loan, so he hasn't signed for Benfica yet. Looking back, it was 'reported' that there was an obligation to buy, but I haven't seen anywhere that he's signed yet, & with the rumours about us being after Soule (his best friend) & Jose going to Real from Benfica, I'd say that there's a chance that he might not want to sign for Benfica.

Just putting it out there. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Packed out at Villa shop, shirts flying off the racks, but I wonder what happens when we get a sponsor. Another trip down the shop I suppose, can’t understand why they’ve released it before having a name to put on there. I’m crackers and usually jump in, but I think I will wait to see what happens.

I see Barcelona have agreed terms for Anthony Gordon, Marcus Rashford back at Villa Park maybe?

27 May 2026 22:28:11
Id take him if he took a wage cut.

28 May 2026 18:09:48
It's a very odd signing for Barca, won't pay £25M for Rashford at his peak, but spend £70M on a headless chicken, whose most goals come from pens. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Where has the 80million price for Rodgers come from? More bs from Sky and Talksport. There's no chance he goes for that, if and a big if he we go for near enough British transfer record.

%5 ticket increases then, but frozen next year. Not bad really seeing as the shortfall from the refurbs. Can’t say I’m looking towards all the rigmarole of seat changing, they are giving a week to do it in, hope they have the phones manned. You can bet with the Villa record on internet and phones, it will be a complete headache UTV.
