Aston Villa Banter 3

I’ve never liked Garnacho but he is better than Bailey and Guessand and even better than Sancho so I will be giving him a clean slate if he arrives. I’m sure Unai won’t stand for any bad behaviour from him so it could be a good move depending on loan terms and option to buy price.

I would have preferred Summerville but Saudi’s have priced everybody out.
Let’s not forget we have Allyson and Madjo to come in who are like new signings so could end up with a decent squad.

Garnacho here we go.
Let's get behind him and make him feel loved like we did with Rashford.

I saw a stat earlier that Chelsea's win % when he started was around 76%, and was less than 30% when he didn't.
When I've watched him, he has the potential to frustrate, but provides pace and directness we don't really have.

22 Jul 2026 19:15:44
That is a true stat, RK. Some were writing him off before he started for us. I remember a certain Mr Malen somewhere saying he wasn't good enough for us. We need strength in depth, and I believe he is going to surprise some pundits and fans alike.

Sounds like the Garnacho loan deal is near enough done! Although it says with conditional obligation to buy, makes it sound like the same situation with Harvey Elliott so he might not get that many games.
Not keen on the player myself because I think he is too arrogant about his ability and too lazy off the ball, but if anyone can change him then Unai can.


If he disrupts the dressing room too much then I can see only one winner in that situation, a bit like Duran being shipped out.

It’s a bit different refreshing your phone every hour or so hoping that we don’t sign a certain player lol. 😂

UTV.

I thought that was just me. 🤣🤣

Do you think we could swap Bailey and get Uncle Albert back Haha, at least he can cross the ball with both feet. Some of the kids looked good, Big Brian, two good goals, Cisse looked class, and Alyson looks very good, getting back to fitness.

Some of the other academy lads looked the part as well, be interesting the rest of the friendlies to see who gets a game. UTV

The youngsters gave a good account of themselves, few nice goals in there as well.
And, my word, Madjo, he is a unit. Hard to believe he's only 17, quick enough for a big guy, he will be a handful for defenders.

21 Jul 2026 23:26:09
Whack, his movement for a 17y old was great, he looks like he's got the lot, physical ability and an eye for a goal, you can see why they may let Tammy go. UTV.

22 Jul 2026 09:29:23
Shades of Lukaku off him. Hopefully the next Duran!! Without the attitude. 🤞

21 Jul 2026 17:15:08
Abraham, Garnacho, Bailey Guessand should be ok for another Champions League attacking force.

21 Jul 2026 18:50:09
Hopefully they are all playing for different teams.
If that's what we are going to have, it's going to be a long season.

21 Jul 2026 16:16:25.
Don’t rate Garnacho. Prefer Gibbs White or the Croatia player from Como. I also like the Boubaddi from Lille plus Leao of Milan.

21 Jul 2026 09:21:21
Latest rumour suggests we’re considering Nicolas Jackson. I wonder what that means for Tammy Abraham?
We paid £18m for him in January. If we were to sell him, what could we realistically expect as a fee? £10 - £12m?
His salary isn’t insignificant at c£100k a week.
Should we consider selling him?

21 Jul 2026 12:36:24
I think we've been linked to Jackson as many times as we've been linked to Felix at this point.

If it was up to me? No. Not only do I not rate Jackson, I don't think he'd score as many goals in a season as Tammy would if they both had the same number of games.

Selling Abraham at a loss after just 6 months without buying someone who could either take Ollie's 1st place or really push him for it? Just feels like regression.

21 Jul 2026 13:54:15
Same here, I wouldn't want Jackson, even if he was a free agent. Honestly, can't see us buying another striker unless we sell one. We need 2 full backs and a cm at the very least. A winger is also high on the list. I think we only bought Tammy because we were stuck for cover, but it now looks like a waste of 20 million.

20 Jul 2026 22:35:12
Does anyone rate Rafeal Leao?

21 Jul 2026 10:06:05
Quality player but always looks lazy off the ball, seems to have a really bad attitude also. I think his wages would be too much also.

20 Jul 2026 15:47:06
What a very sad day for football with the death of a true legend in Kevin Keegan. No matter what your club, I am sure everyone will feel shock at the death of this lovely footballer. RIP Kev, you were one of the best, you will be missed.

20 Jul 2026 18:46:28
Rest in peace Kevin.

19 Jul 2026 23:14:46
Congratulations Spain, what an utter disgrace Argentina are, their antics after the game, just about summed their whole attitude up. Throughout the whole World Cup, they have set out to spoil games, with every trick in the book. Their spirit as a team is brilliant, but their attitude absolutely stinks. UTV.

19 Jul 2026 19:29:21
Get Scmenica of Southampton as well.

19 Jul 2026 19:28:28
Screw Garancho get Summerville instead.
