Agreed, would rather get him at 12m than Thiaw at 30m He's RCB too Hijack - our Forest besties won't mind - maybe we can even give them Lascelles back for free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted Sunday at 11:33 Share Posted Sunday at 11:33 (edited) #DaniOlmo -@ManCity : the English are pushing to close by Tuesday" Olmo is a very Man City move. Edited Sunday at 11:37 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted Sunday at 11:55 Share Posted Sunday at 11:55 I’m sure it was posted a few days ago that City weren’t interested. Anyway, probably means Bruno stays here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think they suffered bad with injuries last term they’re really gonna’ know about it this time. The schedule is brutal when you’re in the CL. Not just the extra game but it’s that you’re playing the highest quality opposition every time. You ALWAYS have to play your best team and that team ALWAYS has to be at its best. Then when you’ve exhausted yourself doing that you have to play a PL team who’s gonna’ be right in your face, then you get drawn to City in the cup where you have to be at your best again. It’s unrelenting, and Villa are gonna’ find that out. Will be interesting to see if Villa do suffer from injuries this time round or we were just particularly unlucky. I don't think we really had a squad capable of coping with the extra workload either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we really had a squad capable of coping with the extra workload either. I expect them to. Schedules aren’t getting easier, players league wide are getting ran into the ground. All clubs suffered last season from regular 100 min games and I don’t expect any different until the league institutes change regarding player welfare. They really struggled against Olympiakos in the latter stages of last season’s conference league. They’re going in to the CL now with largely the same squad so they’ve got to step up massively. We clearly didn’t have the squad but were genuinely decimated by injuries. There were large periods of the season where players had nothing in the tank before the first half ended. We were going into CL games with a bench full of u18/u-23 players, 3 keepers and Matt Ritchie. Even for the new season we’re without Botman and Lascelles until Dec-Jan, Miley for the first month or two and Tonali until the start of September. Bunce needs to earn his money.

McCormick Posted Sunday at 14:23 Share Posted Sunday at 14:23 Onana is very underrated on here for whatever reason. He’s a special player imo; really good signing. Maatsen’s no slouch either. Decent to very good signings if you ask me, and I absolutely hate the Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Sunday at 14:23 Share Posted Sunday at 14:23 (edited) Olmo to City feels like someone who looks good, goes to Man City and then never plays. Edited Sunday at 14:23 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted Sunday at 16:00 Share Posted Sunday at 16:00 Villa's business is solid, there's a very good player in Onana and Maasten is handy, but I'm not sure they help them kick on from the off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to be convinced they are better off but til they actually play together you never know. This place is always writing off things that end up good.

The guy has all the tools, physically, and still so young; with a manager like Emery that’ll know how to use him, he’ll have a proper breakout season imo.
