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 ?.

Rogers given man of the match last night, perhaps this is the turning point for him showing his class for us now, obviously it's there but he hasn't shown much of it this season so far. I thought Konsa look assured and Ollie did ok but still struggles with golden opportunities.
06 Oct 2025 12:37:41
Once we get the last couple of injured players back it possible our starting bench contains any combination of these, Bizot, Mings, Bogarde, Sancho, Elliott Guessand, Barkley, Onana, Buendia Maatsen, Malen, Lindalof, Torres, (I have excluded those who I think will continue to be our regular starters) Obviously a great position to be in to have such quality in depth, the flip side how do you keep them all happy. Obviously a few will always stay or are involved at some time, and it's great to have cover with injury''s and competition is great and with European football you need an extended squad., But I think a number will be gone in January to free up funds for us to get a couple of real quality players. Which players should would let go?
1.) 06 Oct 2025 20:45:20
1) mings
2) Barkley
3) guassan
4) mings
5) mings

Nothing but consistent Tom
3.) 07 Oct 2025 09:35:04
I reckon Toms Mrs got the hots for Mings, that’s why he wants him off . Never seen anybody with a dislike for a player, like this . UTV
4.) 07 Oct 2025 12:18:53
Sell our only CB cover, great idea ?
5.) 07 Oct 2025 13:38:23
Some of us still think Torres at times is as much of a liability as Mings, a defenders pace is an essential attribute for top premier league sides.Both are valuable to us for different reasons and remember Mings has been selected a number times as first choice over Torres, so Emery can see issues with both of them and he's the one the makes the decisions.
05 Oct 2025 17:07:14
A wins a win, however this should have been a comfortable 4- 0 result against a very poor side, better teams won't give us such an easy ride. Watkins isn't himself and a rest may refresh him, Rogers much better, Bogarde class and Malen knows where the goal is.
05 Oct 2025 12:52:24
The whole team seems to have more energy when Buendia starts, we have to trust Emery however I'm disappointed that Buendia hasn't started, he deserves a run as a starter. Good to see Barkley back in the frame. Malen deserves a chance to prove himself from the start. Let's hope the momentum continues, plenty of options on the bench if needed.
03 Oct 2025 11:40:43
Just read interesting Stat, top four teams for wins in Europe starting 2023/24 season
Real Madrid 19
PSG. 18
Bayern Munich 17
Villa 16
No matter what's happening at the moment this is an absolutely amazing stat.
1.) 03 Oct 2025 13:17:58
What's happening? 2 wins in Europe and 2 points off 8th, And as you rightly put it that's a amazing stat right up there with the elite of the elite.

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.

Probably threw his dollies out SV and how long is Elliott going to keep quiet.
05 Oct 2025 19:46:16
Let's hope they self distruct Dave and Wagner is certainly not helping things, long may their failure continue.
05 Oct 2025 19:43:19
Not very often we agree LOTM, however you are absolutely bang on. Burnley were a poor side and there for the taking and we should have been out of site before their late goal. How many times have we had squeaky bum for the last quarter of the game, as you said better teams wouldn't have let us of the hook.We definitely need to step our game up and Watkins just isn't helping or pulling his weight. Positives, we are getting our injured players back, Rogers was much improved, Bogarde was excellent and Kamara is absolute class and is so calm on the ball. We have some difficult games ahead and after the next three games we can see if we have improved.
