Would luv la porte in.. Versatile
In Unai and Monchi we must trust….they've not let us down yet. As the saying goes, "keep the faith"
Add jaka Bijol in defence and that would be amazing!. It would solve all the defensive issues from last year inho! In Emery and Monchi I trust. Exciting times ahead. UTV
If Emery wanted a 45 yr old Eric Djemba Djemba I'd trust him ππ. UTV were f#+/in massive π
D Luis was massively overrated for me and glad hes gone, this guy sounds like he could be a much better bet.
We mean business if we get this young man in wat a player getting quite a strong squad now can see one or two going out but trust in our gaffer π utv
Right back plsβ not konsa moving from central defence to Right back. We Aston Villa need right back with pace strong on the ball going forward and defence and good in the Air.
Dan's Adidas Addiction needs help already π
We're all going to be soooooo skint π
Onana and Gordon were a nightmare at our place 1st game last season.
Barley got out of it with a win, both had great games and could see Onana was going to be a great player on his then Debut.
Outstanding signing.
Cheeky carlos and 40m for Branthwaite ? π
Solid signing. Our midfield is going to be horrible to play against. The combination of Mcginn, onana, tilemans and kamara will boss the majority of midfields next season.
The squad is looking π₯ can't wait for next season and wear my new stone island jacket to the park!! (I promised I'd buy one if we got champions league ππ).
Can someone explain how everton fans are saying he isnt great but following it up with "we should have got more money"?
As an Everton watcher ,this is a boss deal for both clubs. Onana can play but flattered to deceive playing Dycheball, however he is capable of much better under proper coaching . Villa have 2 players for every position and the bet for all fans is buying Villas points on the Spread Markets at 61 points
Great signing this in my opinion.
from the end of the season till now, we have had, nedjelkavic (however its spelt) sousa? dobin, maatsen, philogene, archer, barkley, onana, iling jnr, barrenechea,dendoncer mings buendia ramsey(if fit) come into the team XD while losing chambers, luiz, ireobunam, and a couple of others i cant remember. thats HUGE! and no doubt another 1 or two should mousa/duran leave, maybe a RB and an attacker. what a mental transfer window!
@JohnTownleyβ¦.does the potential signing of Onana mean Jacob Ramsey is likely to leave?
I'm over the moon with this signing lads he's a great player. UTV
One of the most exciting signings we've made in years IMO. The team has been crying out for midfield physicality since Dean Smith's time and Onana is potentially sellable for a huge profit
And after watching this I've seen Diaby has signed for Al-Ittihad and Chelsea offering money and Gallagher for Ollie, all fun at Villa lol
Heβs like a Yaya Toure I hope he hits those heights β€
I think it is a smart signing. He will be much better still in a better team like ours. Also he is great in the air from set pieces both defending and attacking. On that subject, who will be our set piece taker now luiz is gone?
FFP aside most toffees fans don't seem too upset. Most seem happy tbh. What's up with that?
Is it because they thought he had a massive ego without the output to go with it? Or the system Dyche played.
Hope this works out for us. UTV
Great podcast lads
Thanks for the enthusiasm and genuine excitement
Goosebumps
although Onana will play in the champions league , he'll never play for Belguim again.
Look at the dynamics of the team we will score and defend better from free kicks . Also corners . Monchi is a genius what a master in what he does . Clever. We are so lucky currently ππ»
I know it will be Sunday, but surely you should do a 'Come on England's impromptu pod! Could be a once in a lifetime national trophy OPP for some of our own!
Luiz gone and been replaced with Barkley, enzo and Onana is great business by villa
Im getting Ian Taylor vibes from this signing… If it transpires to be that good we are definitely moving in the right direction.
Onana, Barkley, Rogers, Konsa, Carlos, all strapping lads. Opponents won't be pushing us around this year. Let's have the Onana contract/Villa shirt photo this week, please.
This guy's gonna be massive for us
