December is when it will catch up to them and fatigue/injuries set in. Fucking hope so Cant stand the bastards. And the jealousy I'm feeling towards them is knocking me sick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 Just looked at our first two seasons back, and it’s a prime example of why we’re stagnant with the squad. Of the players remaining: Murphy £12m - Still here, little resale value Dubravka £4m - Useless Schar £3m - Superb, but no resale value Almiron £21m - Little resale value Compare that to Villa first two seasons back: Luiz £15m - Sold this summer for £45m plus players Konsa £12m - Big value Mings £20m - Knee injury dented value and sale chance Martinez £17m - Solid Cash £14m - Should get money back Watkins £28m - Big player Villa were more ambitious when they came back up. And now they’ve got a competent manager, they’re getting dividends as it’s a base to build on. We’re still paying the price for Ashley lean years, but come next summer, we should be in a position where we can start moving forward with a better base. Would say Villa have overtaken us, but it can and should swing next summer if we are ambitious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 They are living proof you don't need to spend a fortune though. They even got their money back on Diaby who I was happy we didn't sign. We've turned a blind eye to players in the championship in the past - but Rogers would be absolutely immense for us and he cost them what £10M?

They also have the benefit of a long standing investment in youth. Could they have done what they've done if they didn't have Archer, Philogene, Ramsey, Iroegbunam, Kellyman & Chukwuemeka to sell for £10m+? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
