I think it will be announced after the game tonight especially if we loose try to soften the blow 😂
I really thought winning with Argentina would be enough for Martinez and he would stay at Villa for the rest of his career. Shame if it ends like this because the club has the ambition and the finances, we are just hamstrung due to the not fit for purpose rules.
It’s cute how John is trying to grow a beard to look like Dan 😂 Love the content keep it up lads UTV🦁
Cant see Emi leaving now but if he does , would Ederson be a good shout ? Get at distribution
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don`t want Paqueta. Too expensive, no resale value, totally underwhelming numbers and he`s a twat.
It will be interesting to see if Paqueta and Martinez are both starting today ? 🤔🤔🦁
If his head isn’t in it, we need to move on. Bizot certainly could step in. This season is going to be tough and I think we need accept this and take SCR constraints on the chin, play as well as we can, utilise our already signed players more and build again next summer. New head of business needs to increase revenue in other ways because the prior team squeezed the fan base. Sadly, we may see more empty seats?
28 is a great age for a player who's hit their prime but he's stalled at West Ham and that's a worry.
Good overview of situation, going to be chaos between now and deadline
Unsure on paqueta, nervous excitement best describes it. Can we really let martinez go at this late stage? Massive saving on wages and he has dropped standards a bit but a real risk with no replacement lined up. Want that right sided defender but it seems we are linked with nobody we actually need.
Agree we need another wide player, but malen can play wide, guessand can, maatsen is arguably better as a left winger than a left back…..we have tools, emery doesn't want to use them. He wants to control games by passing in the middle…..football has changed since Barcelona in the early 2000's.
Giving up your early Sunday mornings for us lot. Couple of legends you two!🙏
PS – I think John is correct with pronunciation. I used to think it was pa 'queta' (like Rollo) but Tim Vickery, the godfather of south American football says pa 'ket' ar, (like John). I think it's 1-0 to John on this one. UTV chaps.
Owners and Unai are not wanting to be a selling club
Forget marco to old to slow went missing last season get paqueta better player more important knows premier-league.?
For us to spend money in the future it’s impossible to bring that kind of revenue in we would need 100’s of millions to do so never going to happen! This current team leaks goals doesn’t score goals ! We won’t finish top half of the table or do well in Europe ! Emery will leave the end of the season and we only have the board to blame ! We’ve had 6 transfer windows under these lot how many players yet still that we have bought ? Psr/scr is an excuse, VILLA fans are delusional if you believe otherwise the club is a joke ! !
50 million would be crazy for a player (Paqueta) who basically stunk the place out last season. I know the market is inflated but still, it feels like a huge risk.
This summer has not been good for us. So disjointed. I hope that doesn't have a lasted effect on what happens this season.
Also, hope you guys don't end up completely wiped out energy wise with the end of transfer window saga. Appreciate the content.
Latest news is Villa anticipated losing Martinez to Man uttd.
The martinez money was to be spent on paqueta
But sullivan has pulled the plug on the deal and spurs have come in with a better offer.
This window looks to have been one of the worst for Villa in a long while !!
