ramirez Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 It seems like ages since they’ve sacked a manager. Still can’t see it for a while but who knows, Villa are bang in form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they have one striker who would have turned down his previous club, us, and by extension him, multiple times. Their other striker he knows is a disloyal, dummy spitting, refusing to train, throwing his toys out the pram the second he feels disrespected, rat. Other than that... 🤣 Edited October 30, 2025 by Joe1984 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, he's just a footballer to us, but he was no doubt a very good friend of a few of them and those reminders could be hard to deal with. When you're talking 1-2% difference makes or breaks a player, then something like that, if it is, could easily cast a shadow. I mean 15 years later, I still struggle mid March every single year remembering the death of a friend. I'd hate to be reminded of it say 9am every morning at work. Would kill me. I'll not take away how much they are grief junkies, but maybe not moving on and trying to milk the grief is backfiring, whereas I'm sure they thought they'd be inspired to perform for him.

Stottie Posted October 31, 2025 Share Posted October 31, 2025 My impression of Jota was that he was going to be sold based on age profile, rumours, and how they do transfers. He only played about 1000 minutes in the league last year. I'm loving what's happening to them, especially after eScousers claimed they'd had "the greatest transfer window ever". It couldn't just be good, it had to be better than everyone else ever. By splurging the cash, they have placed themselves in the Chelsea, Man City, Man U category of big spenders. Pundits on tv have always rimmed them and spread them myth that they never spent big money. World record fees for a goalkeeper and a defender were irrelevant. After half a billion in one window, we will not have to hear this tedious myth very much any more. fwiw, Darwin Nunez got 15 goals and 4 assists in all comps in his first season, where they finished below us. I doubt Isak can hit those numbers now. Even Ekitike might not, given that his game time might be limited by the need to play Wirtz and Isak to justify their fees.
