Good question.

 

I read he turned us down as he really wanted Juve.

 

Now that fell through, who knows.  Maybe we check again.

Maybe the black and white stripes will confuse him.

Oh ...

 

Read that it was looking doubtful, and then the Concecaio deal has since gone through.

Barring any late hitch he's signing for them permanently.

 

 

Not sure he'd have been the right player for us personally, although he's decent.

Ademola Lookman possibly going to PSG for huge money. 

 

Feels like he's had a huge upturn recently after mediocre Prem spells

Shows up in a few big games but I wouldn't be happy if we bought him. If he gets consistent mind....

Emi Martinez signs new contract till 2029.

 

I've never loved a Villa goalkeeper more.

 

Genuinely, there is not a single other player in his position I would swap him for. He's so fucking good, and so important to the team. I love him.

 

I know everyione else thinks he's a cunt, but fuck you all, he's our cunt, and that's all that matters.

Actually I've just seen that Olympiacos has a 18million euros option to buy him last season when he was on loan there.

 

So it looks like they've circumnavigated that and going to end up with him anyway

Sat and watched the Gary Neville Podcast on Sky Sports YouTube this morning and he was asked who had a good/bad transfer window so far and he couldn’t answer beyond the Cartel 6. Really shows what the Other 14 are up against, this ingrained focus and attention span on six clubs only. Defaults to Chelsea and Man Utd inevitably.

 

Think it starts about 25 minutes in:

Needs to be withdrawn from punditry, he has very little interest in following the game outside the top three-four clubs. His takes are awful now on so many subjects because he’s arrogant but lacks the knowledge to back it up

I do sort of agree. But pundits and the media choosing to spend more time talking about the so called ‘big’ clubs is nothing new. 
 

The mainstream football shows on TV almost always have ex-pros on who only know about the Prem and the clubs at the top of the table. The whole football media vehicle is built around that. 
 

So whilst I don’t particularly like negative Neville. It seems odd to single him out in particular.

I mean even a throwaway comment about a West Ham or Brighton, or NUFC, would have given the piece a bit more credibility. Carragher is ahead on his awareness.

Had it been someone else I’d have dug them out too but he’s arguably the most high profile face and view on the UK’s premier platform. Hardly a glowing endorsement when you’ve got him and thick as mince Jamie Redknapp carrying the torch.

I'd go even a bit further.

 

Even the football fans themselves are this way too. Outside of their teams, they only watch the clubs at the top.

 

They complain players at other clubs are shit when they are linked with them and disparage any other club they think theirs is even slightly ahead of.

 

I find it all very annoying. All the 'We're a big club, you're a small club' talk by all fans just feeds into this nonsense.
