Aston Villa Thread

[1964white]

Rumoured to be interested in Kalvin Phillips

I could see Kalvin going to Villa.

I could see Kalvin going to Villa.

I could see him going anywhere that let's him play football

It’ll be interesting to see if he has learned from his mistakes, or if he will just follow the money.

That’s if he moves at all, of course,

5th now

Guaranteed to finish top 10.

Very possibly get in to Europe.

Shows what owners with genuine ambition can do.

Emery has done a fantastic job there, he really has.

Yep. I said there's an opportunity this year with the likes of Liverpool and Chelski in transition, and they've taken full advantage. Fair play to them.

Villa's ten games unbeaten run came to an end at Scum on Sunday.

Villa continued to roll the managerial dice the same as everyone else.

They got lucky this time

Simple as that really

Their recruitment has been patchy at best

I thought all American owners were rubbish?

They've appointed 3 permanent managers in there time there? Gerrard, Smith and Emery, we've done that in 12 months

There owners have been clear from day 1, there aim is Champions League.

They have invested absolute fortunes, the club has improved season on season whilst consistently talking up there ambition.

They have talked up themselves as a destination club not a pass through one (reflected in how hard they pushed to keep Grealish).

They went out got the best manager they could with elite pedigree and look like achieving another season improvement where I'm sure they will again spend heavy and push hard for Europe.

Polar opposite to our owners who have talked down our ambition at every chance.

Orta even said we can't compete with Villa.

Radz wants to run the club on sales And is happy with mid table (said it himself)

And Orta says it would be a dream for us to get 7th.

They are the total opposite of our owners and fair play to them

You can only invest what you have.

Would you be happy for Leeds assets to be leveraged against future possible earnings?
Oh wait we tried that.

Villa are minted. We are not

You love beating the club with the old ambition stick dont you?

f**king love it

You know what you need to do to be happy

Villa Park would love such an optimist

Was due to leave Barcelona and join Villa as a Sporting Director type.

Changed his mind after visiting Birmingham

Can understand that

Barcelona to Birmingham

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international, 26, will join the club on 1 July, after his Leicester contract expires.

I wonder how much Villa would be paying had Leicester allowed his contract to run down?

Thought he would have gone somewhere bigger. Maybe signs that Villa see themselves as breaking into the top 6.

[JoeDenver]

Villa made sense for Tielemans as did Lerma for Palace. Both smart moves by each club and presumably will fit in nicely with both squads.

I think it's his level, not quite in the top bracket.
Same as his International team Belgium, and team mate there, Lukaku.
Leicester fans feel he is not one for a fight if not going his way.

What a job Emery did?

Villa were a few points behind Leeds at one stage, in the end they finished 7th in the table.
