So Spurs could be bidding up to 100 mil for Tonali. How does that work out when they have finished 17th twice, also just signed Hecke for 57mil? You have to laugh at the rules for the so called big6. I'm glad Villa got a good thing at the top of our club.

It would be nice to spend mega millions but aint gonna happen. I have no worries at all. Villa will be fine and pushing for 4th to 5th again. Sign 4/5 players with exists and squad will be better UTV

I don’t know if any of you follow the ‘My Old Man Said’ the Villa Blog. If you don’t, have a look at the piece just written about the financial constraints we are operating under. If I am reading it correctly, because we breached UEFA financial rules last year and were fined, we now have to raise at least the same amount in sales as we spend, so the £100 million Nswe have given Emery cannot just be spent without commensurate sales.

I think the Malen and Barrenchea deals will have generated circa £31 million, so we will have to find a further £69 million from somewhere. No doubt other clubs are aware of the situation, hence the ridiculous offers for Martinez; they know we need the money.

Villa put their release list out, some good kids on it, including the youngest Ramsey. Now he was the one they thought could be the best of the Ramseys. A couple of the players are who we’ve paid a £1m+ for. They must consider the ones coming through even better. Must be awkward with youth players, working out who can and who can’t make it. UTV

So Forest put price of 120mil for Anderson so wot is Rodgers worth I recon atleast 120mil aswell, the transfer window gone mental. Also any1 seen the new rules coming in aswell for transfers aswell its a joke players have more power if this is true.

Hearing that Emi has ‘agreed’ personal terms with Juve, but (get your head around this 1) they don’t want to pay a fee 🤷🏼‍♂️ How about this then…? They got Jonathan David on a free last year. It hasn’t worked out for him there.

Straight swap then? The rumour I heard last year was that Ollie had agreed terms with Arsenal (before they bought Gyokores) but didn’t leave because the replacement Unai wanted went elsewhere. Always thought it was David. 🤔

Obviously winning the Europa League was the high point for everyone, but excluding that what was everyone’s highest and lowest points in the season? Mine are as follows..
Highest:
1. Buendia scoring the last minute winner v Arsenal
2. Smashing Liverpool at VP
3. I couldn’t decide between our first PL win of the season v Fulham or going to City on the last day with practically a hungover B team and dominating them all second half and spoiling the Pep parade..
Lowest:
1.

Kamara’s injury
2. The Spurs game at VP, I was so angry after that one. A. Because we played so badly, everyone including Emery looked disinterested and zero effort was made to get a result and B. Because we had the chance to help relegate them and get rid of them as completion in the PL and I wanted revenge on Paulinha for Kamara and trying to do the same to Roger’s..
3. Probably losing to Wolves when they had only won 1 game all season..

Interested to hear everyone else’s..

Low point for me, losing our 3 midfielders; that's why we had a bad slump when we were flying and in the mix at the top 3.

Completely agree Whackie, in particular with the Paulina 1, & at the end causing the handbags we copped a fine for, when he should have already been sent off.

My No. 1 low is made up of several lows really.
1 point from Brentford, Everton, Spurs and Leeds at home.
Absolutely terrible in isolation.
But we qualified for UCL by finishing 4th and won a major trophy, so those lows are massively countered by that.
