I genuinely now think the quicker we get rid of Emery the better and he can take all the new signings with him.Football is dire tactics inept every team find us so easy to play against and yet Emery does nothing, boring predictable football equals failure.

Something isn't right recruitment and player sales so off signing players and not playing them or loaning them out is nuts sign them to play them or don't sign at all, Enzo and kosta should be in and around this squad easy

So Scot who would you replace him with?
3.) 18 Sep 2025 23:51:37
Mike Bassett!

We have a team full of internationals, most of which were top performers for their national teams this week, is it our coach and style of play that stifles them? I am definitely leaning towards that view.
20 Aug 2025 22:29:31
With the Europa on Thursdays and Sky fixture changes looks like we are going to play an awful lot of Sunday games, unfortunately I'm old school and have always loved my Saturday afternoon football, of course we have to adapt to change, however I have other interests that I enjoy on Sunday, so I'm really disappointed with too many Sunday games.
1.) 21 Aug 2025 00:08:08
There are other non European playing teams that play mostly on a Saturday Scot if your intrested just a thought??

Everyone knows someone's neighbour, aunt, brother cousin who can tell you about the inner workings of players details usually these are rubbish. I have just been told from what I know is a reliable source, that Ramsey's family are not happy with the way Jacob has been treated. They are saying that he has been given little choice in remaining at the Villa. Villa seemed to have been clever by offering him a new contract, his wages were in the mid range at £70,000, the increase offered would have left him still well below most of the top earners. I am speculating that he may have been told that he wouldn't be a regular starter and it all seems to add up that his future wasn't at Villa and obviously the transfer fee helps with our PSR. I can not know if what I was told is totally genuine, however it all adds up to the final outcome that he's going and I'm sure he's not happy. I personally wish Jacob all the best and hope his carer flourishes in the future as long it doesn't come back to bite us, I'm sure he has the right to gloat if it does.
1.) 15 Aug 2025 01:04:52
I hear what your saying Scot but it’s a 2 sided coin, if he hadn’t had those injuries and had 2 storming seasons instead and city or Liverpool etc came calling I wonder would he still want to stay at villa or would he do exactly what Delph or grealish done?
I wish him nothing but the best but no matter who he is or how long he’s being here he’s not more important than sustaining the upward trajectory we find ourselves in the past few years.
2.) 15 Aug 2025 08:31:14
If we're honest, is he anywhere near a £100k+ a week player?
His camp can feel hard done by all they like but he hasn't earned more than offered.
He hasn't been fit for 2 years and by his own admission he hasn't made progress so why does he deserve to be paid more.
He is not a top player like Ollie or Emi and his work off the pitch doesn't hold a candle to Digne or SJM.
To be honest, I won't miss him like a Milner or a Grealish. He's not special and just comes across pretty poorly in a lot of clips I've seen.
3.) 15 Aug 2025 18:35:43
I wish Ramsey all the best also but for me when he was on the coach when we was all welcoming Villa to VP when he said "Bloody hell it's only the Conference" Put a bit of a cloud over him for me.
4.) 15 Aug 2025 18:49:09
Daz you are 100% I was only thinking the same thing yesterday, it was a huge day for us and for a villa boy he was very blasé about it, yes it was only the conference league but it was a stepping stone and also an emotional day for most villa fans who went through the heartache of relegation. not saying he’s a bad lad but most of these football players are motivated by money and not glory like the old days
5.) 15 Aug 2025 19:43:35
Whack, is he a Villa boy? Not that it matters.
The physio will be a lot less busy with Ramsey and Bailey going (if he does) . Not their fault but some players are held back by injuries.
31 Jan 2025 13:48:46
Unsurprisingly it seems that Ollie and his agent have made it clear to Arsenal that he wouldn't be adverse to the move. Hence the offer, it will be interesting if Arsenal go high enough with future bids before deadline day. If he goes the atacking players that will have gone so far. Ollie, Archer, Philogene, Duran, Barry Buendia who does that leave us with for the Spurs game at this point in proceedings. Disappointing is an understatement even if Ollie stays. Can anyone tell me what was expected by the owners with Monchi steering the quality additions ship.
1.) 31 Jan 2025 15:40:20
I’m not sure Monchi steering the ship is quite right Scot, as far as I am aware all targets are discussed by the manager and the head of football operations and I don’t think any of our recent incomings have been against the managers wishes. As he knows both Asensio and Felix quite well I think you would have to conclude if things don’t work out then Emery is at least as culpable as Monchi. However given how we all recognise how the squad quickly improved when Emery arrived no reason to suppose he won’t be able to improve Asensio and Felix also. Anyway here’s hoping ?.

Major new contract for Rogers another six years, obviously shows commitment on both sides, nothing said about buy out clause, only tine will tell if he's here for the long term, remember Jack's buy out clause helped us financially.A lot of our keys players have singed new contracts which has to be positive.

Are we allowed to comment on poor play and poor tactics, I doubt it.

How on earth can you not get frustrated
1.) 01 Nov 2025 22:11:57
Scotty, very frustrating. Emi mistake was a joke, he's not the keeper of 2 years ago. We need a goalscorer, ollies confidence is shot, forget his running he needs goals and doesn't look like getting a sniff.
We need to take the chances we had in the opening 15 mins. That said didn't think we'd get anything from anfield, Liverpool couldn't keep being poor. Onwards and upwards, still only a win off the top four
2.) 01 Nov 2025 22:13:13
How was the game Scot I didn’t get to see any of it

Just watched Matty Cash interview on Villa TV, very impressed. His recent confidence is highlighted with his positive demeanour. He came across with claret and blue deeply ingrained in him. I hope his improved performances continues as he is now a nailed on starter if this carries on.
Great to see him on the short list for the best premier league player of the month of October, keep it up Matty, He accepted there had been criticism but this has obviously has made him stronger. Villa has shown their commitment to him with a new longish contract and he wants to repay this loyalty.

With your there as well LOTM,
04 Jan 2023 16:08:37
Pity England wasn't a full time gig, Maguire would be in permanently. Man U defence with Maguire at the heart have been poor for a while, why would want a slow centre back.
27 May 2022 11:10:46
Its pretty much ball park what i thought, i think Elghazi will struggle to get anywhere near 10 i also think with ings wages, teams likely to want him will want to pay around 10 so he can maintain his wages.Ings still has time to run on his contract so he may want to sit tight, we would have to drop our valuation to get his wages off the books.
26 May 2022 19:49:24
Whack,Loti we are up to 15,how much do you think this lot would fetch?
20 Dec 2020 21:33:05
He was out simples, never in doubt.
08 Nov 2025 12:36:59
LOTM, many on here and some of the more knowledgeable pundits have said we are far too slow bringing the ball forward and I agree I think Bournemouth will export this, hopefully Emery can modify his tactics to speed things up, he has done this in the past when we played our best football.
08 Nov 2025 08:50:59
Definitely in your camp Whack, if we all agreed it would be boring, some don't understand that's its because we care so much we say the things we do and that's how it should be, patience and tolerance are commendable traits and should always be remembered. Generally I think this is one of the better forums with a good balance of views long may it continue.

74, not for the first time a slow boring half, Guessand is probably one of our worst signings for the money. Sancho does very little. Hopefully we will pick up in the second half and put the game out of reach.
26 Oct 2025 11:12:55
Daz I post all the time and my last post was highlighting the glaring weakness in our left central defenders, something that needs addressing.What a ridiculous statement why do I support Villa, if I didn't care I wouldn't be bothered to spend so much time following my club which I have done for over 60 years travelling all over Europe.
What I really can't understand is why my honest views and observations aren't acceptable to you. Perhaps every post should be positive without any negative comments, if that is what you want I will continue to follow my team everywhere and stop posting on here. I like the balanced views on here and will continue to read them daily as I do. Say the word Daz if my posts upset you so much tell me and I will move on.
