Aston Villa rumours 2

12 Jan 2022 13:39:43
Interesting snippet on TalkSPORT this lunchtime, apparently Carney Chukwuemeka will not sign a new contract and will either leave when his contract expires, or he will be sold. He was apparently a little disillusioned by his lack of game time under Smith, and that hasn't improved under Gerrard and the signing of Coutinho has made matters worse and so according to reports he's off.

So two managers are of the same opinion. Off you go then. Patience always pays off but apparently not for this generation - I want it all now or all my toys are straight out of the pram

Sounds more like agent looking for a payout .Most of these problems,usually have an agent at the bottom of it .
Onwards&Upwards Villaforever

I hear what you say re patience however if you take Liverpool as an example they only play the likes of Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott occasionally and yet you don’t find these guys agitating for a move, so what’s different with us? Whenever Chukwuemeka comes on and it is very rarely he seems really comfortable at premiership level so I am not sure why he isn’t getting more opportunities if he goes I think he will be a real loss

{Ed001's Note - Jones and Elliott have been regulars when not injured mate.}

Stories on Digne really taking off

Wow.looks like Lucas digne could go through in the next day or 2. Another statement of intent! There's a lot of talk of el ghazi going the other way! It would be sad to see him go, although he's never been consistent! I'd much rather get rid of trez, he's been a poor signing in my opinion, always spitting the dummy out!

Sounds like we are considering Yves Bissouma from Brighton however, since he is currently on bail, it might be a risky move ?

08 Jan 2022 12:40:54
I haven’t heard about that mate, what he do? I thought he was at the AFCON?

08 Jan 2022 13:25:37
I wasn’t aware he was on bail either, but Menace is spot on Bissouma and a bloke in his forties were charged with sexual assault in a club in Brighton in October.

08 Jan 2022 14:50:03
Wowzers that's a major red flag. surprised he was allowed to leave the country on bail I would of thought you would have to surrender your passport, that kind of drama is not a great look for a player.

08 Jan 2022 15:58:59
Polices released him as “under investigation” and as such is under no travel restrictions.

08 Jan 2022 16:51:38
I got really confused then as I thought he played for Bali but it’s actually Mali.

09 Jan 2022 00:24:23
Perhaps you’ve got a blocked up nose mate - Bali and Mali sound exactly the same that way ?

09 Jan 2022 11:09:46
Haha, must be. Best I take some decongestant.

03 Jan 2022 18:51:03
I see we are now being linked with Aaron Ramsey not sure he is what we need right now tbh

03 Jan 2022 13:47:42
Looks like Axel is off to Napoli on loan despite Gerrard wanting him back at Villa - I'm assuming because he was getting limited game-time and that was set to continue if he returned to VP

20 Dec 2021 18:35:15
So, it looks like there is a chance of a match for us on Boxing Day after all?

02 Nov 2021 08:44:34
From The Mail on Line. Aston Villa are the latest Premier League club to line up a move for former Roma and Shakhtar boss Paulo Fonsec

09 Nov 2021 11:49:29
I think it will be lucien favre

09 Nov 2021 21:54:26
Simon, latest reports are indicating we will be getting Gerrard and if that fails to go through Roberto Martinez.

Does smith need to be ridiculed, absolutely not, the man gives everything to the team he loves. Should he be questioned and challenged on tactics and team selection absolutely. He was under pressure and he made changes through pressure from fans and press alike. So who chose and sanctioned bench warmers to the value of Jack's sale. Bailey today showed he is not good enough, Ings has already gone missing, Buendia is championship quality. So we are a lot weaker than season and yet expectations were higher. Our midfield is weak, Mcginn tries to the job of three, not fair, Ollie does his best but can't do it on his own. So no sugar coating we don't have the players or manager to get to either the fans or owners expectations. So where to we go from here, i honestly don't have a clue, what i do know is this current crop of players are obviously not good enough and the honest fans will know this.

02 Nov 2021 08:24:56
I have to agree with your sentiment. Spending 33m on Emi Buendia was a gamble, one that hasn't paid off. If things don't improve I think it is curtains for Dean Smith. I'm beginning to think last season was a fluke. I really thought we'd kick on but the same problems exist as of two seasons ago.
I really doubt Mings is a PL quality player, too inconsistent. Selling Jack Grealish was a good move but the money from his sale wasn't very well invested. I don't think we'll get relegated, but we won't be setting the league on fire either.

02 Nov 2021 16:19:35
So we're writing off two of our biggest signings after having played barely 10 games between them?
Maybe I'm too patient at times, but this is so far off the other end of the spectrum it's basically a reach around

02 Nov 2021 21:13:39
@ DBS1983 - In your opinion so far has Emi Buendia looked like a PL player? because what I have seen he hasn't. Don't let price tags deceive you.

03 Nov 2021 13:21:58
He certainly hasn't set the world on fire yet, but my point is writing him off completely after only a handful of games seems a bit short sighted.

04 Nov 2021 15:31:16
I agree DB we wrote Veretout off after a couple of games and look at him now, you have to give players time to adjust.

Even more bitter this morning as I work with loads of dingles.
