I see we are being linked with Eden Hazard. Presumably his wages are too high for the current encumbants and they are looking to offload him to a Club with more money than sense. I really hope this doesn't happen.

same mate we don't won't past it players no more bad enough with coutinho,hopefully just bs papertalk


2.) 07 Nov 2022 10:00:46
El Nacional in Spain today again reporting Newcastle and Villa are interested in bringing Hazard back to the Premier League. At 31 and with no goals in at least his last 21 games (apart from one in the CL) with Emery on board, I would think we can do better.

Agree Menace, let's hope it's the barcodes he's going to.

Bailey due to play, according to his Dad.

Don't know how I feel about that.
We all know what's going to happen.

Dad says I can play football
He'll then get called in for tea.
Takes his ball home with him
Screws it up for the rest of us.

What a great attitude from Emi Martinez. He recognises that going to a 'top' club to win trophies is easy. Winning something with us is a real challenge and makes it all the more worthwhile. Pity the mainstream media have pretty much ignored it because it doesn't fit the narrative for Man Utd. Shame Jack didn't have that same recognition.

Villa56

1.) 03 Mar 2023 09:42:49
I get what you are saying 56 but it’s easier Emi to say that with FA, Copa America, and World Cup winners medals in his trophy cabinet Let’s be honest Jack was never going to get anything like that with us, and let’s see what the summer brings if someone like Bayern Munich comes along with a bid will he want to stay then?


2.) 03 Mar 2023 14:06:16
Maybe Emi could be used by Emery getting a deal that significantly benefits us by letting Emi go. If there is a deal that suits all parties he will go in the Summer, if not he may stay with us for the foreseeable, providing we show signs of significant improvement that matches his ambitions.


3.) 03 Mar 2023 18:14:25
I think he will do at least one more year. Of course if we don't get near to the top four spots I would expect his agent to start making noises, and I wouldn't blame him moving on.


4.) 03 Mar 2023 18:34:31
Ian Ladyman from the Dmail reckons that Emi is at best the 6th in the premiership.
He puts Ederson, Allison, De Gea, Pickford as the top 4.
What planet are these reporters living on?
Do you rate any of these above Emi?


5.) 03 Mar 2023 20:48:57
Well I think you have answered your own question TOV. The guys from the Daily Fail, if he told me Tuesday followed. Monday I wouldn’t believe him until I checked the calendar?.


6.) 03 Mar 2023 21:43:01
i rate all 4 emi better than pickford thou


7.) 04 Mar 2023 00:43:25
Can't see Emi leaving, I just don't know where he goes - Linked with Spurs tonight, can't see him pushing for that move or them stumping up with Villa would demand. I think it would take a 60M bid for Villa to even consider selling him and I don't know where a bid like that will come from in the summer. Chelsea potentially if they sell Kepa, but beyond that where does he go?


8.) 04 Mar 2023 08:30:19
The only English club who I could see bidding for Martinez is Utd, but that all depends on De Gea’s future, I know his contract expires at the end of the season and he is on something like £375k a week, if you could sign Emi on £200k a week say over 4- 5 years the transfer fee virtually pays for itself, and Martinez is a better keeper in my opinion. If he does go I think it will be abroad rather than to a club in this country.

Anyone else starting to wonder if the Premier League game officials are taking bungs? Just watching MOTD and the pathetic misuse of VAR is beyond incompetence. Time after time it favours the same teams as well.

Villa56

1.) 04 Sep 2022 14:40:57
There has always been a bias by officials towards the bigger clubs .The whole thing has to be looked at,VAR has just added another layer,of incompetence.The ref yesterday,as shown by his actions,just couldn’t wait to blow up where Villa where concerned.The have started to let certain tackles go,but this opens up another can of worms,when you have a bias ref in the first place .Whether some are afraid of upsetting,the big time managers I don’t know,but yes it needs looking into .


2.) 04 Sep 2022 14:46:05
56 When you consider VAR was bought in to get decisions right, yesterday proves that referees stick together and the VAR man is not an independent view without bias. I have advocated that we should have a reciprocal agreement with france Germany Holland Italy Belgium using the top referees that officiate in the champions league. The technology means they can be based anywhere, of course there may be a small element of referees sticking together however they are far more likely to being independent. let's not forget the premier league referees get together round the table on a regular basis and there is a lot of friendship within the clan.


3.) 05 Sep 2022 10:15:15
I agree with most that VAR and general officiating hasn't had a good weekend, or even a good season so far, but the nature of the conversation around referee's role in football has to change before we'll see any meaningful improvement to how football matches are played and officiated. There is a culture within top level football that has been allowed to grow and get worse every season with players and coaching staff constantly lowering the bar in cheating, influencing and misleading the officials and winding up the fans in the process. It is absolutely mental that this is permitted for 90 minutes and then all the focus is on a disallowed goal or bad offside decision. There needs to be a big culture shift and strong leadership by governing bodies (assuming that clubs can't be relied on to improve themselves) to turn this corner before we'll see any substantial shift. Need to stop focusing on the symptom and start focussing on the root cause.

I see SG has stated the result tonight is very important. I don't think that bodes well. I would much rather he said the performance tonight is very important. I now expect a fairly stubborn, but uninspiring display.

Villa56

1.) 31 Aug 2022 12:00:32
SG will be gone after the Arsenal game and the transfer window will close leaving you with an uphill battle.
New manager will have funds in January and you will finish around 14th this season.
Meanwhile over at the Golden Palace we are pleased to announce the signing of Sasa Kalajdzic also known as the Austrian Peter Crouch who has chosen the number 18 and so the queues at the megastore form once again as The Dingles receive 18 per cent off club merchandise to celebrate our new signing,three points away at Bmouth and our climb up the table to once again be top Midlands club.


2.) 31 Aug 2022 12:31:43
il take 14th neve i'd snap your hand off right now,with the right manager we will be better,poch,potter,rodgers,dyche will get villa going again we have got good players,it was just wrong appointment by purslow who will also lose his job and so should lange been awfull aswell


3.) 31 Aug 2022 14:09:07
Lol neve I love your optimism Having still not won a game this season. maybe he should of picked 19 to reflect your position in the league


4.) 31 Aug 2022 15:24:52
Whack are you back fighting fit, or did the tablets work

Kienan Davis didn't make the U21s. Must have broken down again. His injury record sure has hampered his chances of anything resembling a career.

So Mings no longer Captain. Is it the beginning of the for him? Or will he respond?

Villa56

1.) 27 Jul 2022 17:46:22
So Mcginn is definitely staying, let's see if it improves Mings game, obviously Gerrard doesn't see him as a regular starter. I don't think Konsa is the answer either,so for me its Chambers or a new signing. Reading below most, like me, don't seem overly optimistic with what we currently have. So most agree that Ings and Watkins don't work and that's obvious to everyone except gerrard, midfield is still a problem. I agree we have sone great youngsters but most aren't ready. So unless we add players and change the style of play from last season its going to look pretty much like last season and most honest fans will realise that.


2.) 27 Jul 2022 18:40:29
Ummm. To me mcginn would not be a automatic starter so to make him captain is a bit strange.


3.) 27 Jul 2022 19:19:25
Will be the making of McGinn making him captain. I don’t get why he’s getting so much stick on here after a few seasons without a proper defensive mid behind him, and a few pre season friendlies which are more about fitness than anything else. Hopefully with Kamara at the club we’ll see the McGinn we expect, I’m going to say 10+ goals from him this season if he doesn’t have to cover as much defensively

UTV


4.) 27 Jul 2022 20:17:35
McGinn was always going to be a starter it’s just a question of where. If we get a quality defensive midfielder then I think Gerrard will play 4-2-3-1 and McGinn will play in the middle of the three, which poses an interesting conundrum for the manager in who occupies the remaining two out of Ramsey, Coutinho, Bailey or Buendia. If we don’t sign that quality defensive midfielder then McGinn will play that role I believe and then only one of the above is set to miss out.


5.) 27 Jul 2022 23:07:37
I agree, it’s a bold choice. I assume he understands that leadership involves not trying to hospitalise the opposition, which has seemingly being a pattern of the pre-season. It could have been part of the deal to get him to stay. Personally, on balance, I think it’s the right decision ?


6.) 27 Jul 2022 23:12:48
Have I missed something here or isn’t Kamara the defensive mid that we’ve been lacking and now we need 2 and they’d be starters? I thought we might line up with a midfield 3 of McGinn, Ramsey/Luiz/Sanson or a mother with Kamara deep lying? 1 striker and a 2 picked from Coutihno, Buendia, Bailey, Traore, El Ghazi etc behind the striker? I know some of those might be gone by the end of the window but that’s how I’d imagine we’d line up, 433 ??‍♂️

UTV


7.) 28 Jul 2022 11:35:38
I think it'll be 4-3-3 as well Ally - Think McGinn will assume the Ramsey (more attacking role) if we sign a new Number 8 (which I'm still hopeful of doing)!


8.) 28 Jul 2022 14:19:21
OMG formations formations formations. Can we not just go back to a 2-3-5 :)


9.) 28 Jul 2022 20:28:51
I miss proper wingers with 2 up front, big man little man combo

Didn't look great at Spurs. Not sure he suits the Premier League. If this is true it surely must be just for cover while Mings is out.

I think Carlos is right footed and can play either side. Nothing to worry about.

He might be looking for Premier League. A lot of foreign players do, so you never know.

Hi One AV. We have been linked before, so I specifically watched him in the World Cup. In reality he is not an upgrade. I'm afraid he is another one pundits have labelled at our level and then lazily 'linked'. There are quite a few, Weston McKennie, Danjuma etc, etc. We really should be looking a bit higher, and I expect that we are.

Paper talk looking to sell news articles. He wouldn't leave yet. He demonstrated a fair bit of professionalism when he turned down Newcastle. He and his staff are settled part way through a project where they have every thing they need. There is nothing to be gained moving on. He might move on if we won the Champions League, or in two or three years if we don't. When he does it will be to go back to Spain.

I agree with RK. If he is hiding something he is taking a huge risk. Most likely he has messages on a phone about the same time as messages from Tonali, and speculative conclusions have been drawn without real evidence. On performance, he needs a goal or assist. He's trying too hard at the moment.

I watched the Spurs game and Fulham were woeful, and Spurs unconvincing at best. Even Postecolgou said the performance was poor. I can't see them keeping it up, but we'll see.

The squad is big enough, but you are correct about quality. Rome wasn't built in a day. I think Emery is giving the fringe players a chance to stake a claim. They are just not taking it. I think he expected, as I did, that they would be a bit more up for it.

Likely we can write off cups and possible Europe this season.

I expect a clear out at the end of the season where the likes of Dendonker, Chambers, Traore, Olsen and maybe even Tielemans will be swapped out for better quality and hunger. The attitude isn't right from most of them.

He can shoot and cross well with both feet. Most wingers are one footed, and from the clips I''ve seen I can't tell what foot he favours. He's looks quite a bit better than Bailey to me.
