You talk some rubbish Jonny, you talk about promoting youngsters but your having a meltdown cause other teams are spending 60 million on this player and that player. you believe absolutely every article you read as if Emery himself wrote them, you have no idea what our budget is, what our manager actually wants to buy, who he’s going to keep, is he going to promote any youths. and it’s not just you that don’t know, none of us know. one thing I do know is that you could drive the length of the country and not find someone as clueless as yourself when it comes to football. it’s like reading my 13 year olds message inbox at times. the window is open a week and a half and your already like a broken record. I’ve said it before and will say it again, I’ll be happy if we keep all our best players, sell a couple of fringe players and bring in a 2-4 players via purchase or loan. Chelsea is who you should be supporting with the way you carry on. players back training a couple of days and all we get from you is doom and gloom, negativity and ridiculous comments constantly, put a sock in it and support your team for gods sake

Jonny just on the Youth note - you would only have a valid point RE the 'u18s champs league' or the u19s Next Gen Series as its known if the other members of that squad were all ripping it up somewhere. So let's actually look at where they are.
Gk - Brad Jones - Currently without a club
Def -
Joshua Webb - Hednesford Town
Bradley Lewis - Without a club
Janoi Donacien - Chesterfield
Lewis Kinsella - Aldershot
Midfield
Josh Barton - No longer a footballer
Riccardo Calder - Brackley Town
Samir Curruthers - Dartford
Jack - Obviously
Forwards
Graham Burke - Shamrock Rovers
Callum Robinson - Cardiff City
So besides Jack who exactly deserved to break into the first team?
Looking at where the rest of them are currently - the correct decision to NOT promote them as they were evidently not good enough? And this is back when Villa were a bottom half of the table . let alone vying for a top 4 finish.

Agree neb, the youngsters are getting better but still not there yet.
KKH had to go, plenty of loans without any of the teams trying too hard to keep hold of him suggests he's not top level.
Barry is injury prone and a bit lightweight for Premier League.
We'll see what the plan is with Wilson in the next year or 2.
