Okonokos Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I so want this to happen. Not really to sign the player, more so we can see the Arse fans reactions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 It’s not so hard to believe that ESR would be open to Villa, if he wants to play for England he’ll have the perfect platform for it here. Not saying he wouldn’t with Arsenal but we can offer stability and a more likely starting place in a team that’s going places in the next few years. Of course, the better wages than he might be offered with them would also sway it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’ve not bothered to check this kid out, as I thought this was a massive troll to Arse…now things are progressing, is he all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This somewhat. At the beginning of his stint (pre-injury when things were going very very well) £40m was being banded around for Ross at the end of the season to get him from Chelsea. In my mind that is where the bidding would need to get to to actually land ESR. As others have said, we would need to pay a premium for the young and English factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A front 4 of Watkins, Grealish, Buendia and ESR is CL quality and we are only 1 signature away from that being reality. If we were able to actually make that happen then the pressure is on Smith to deliver European football next season it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrally, he played as a 10 for half of the season before Odegaard came in for Arse. Think he played 3 or 4 games on the left of a 3 for them as well.

Lord Willard Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Year older than Saka who I love but I think he only got into the team sooner is cause of being left footed. ESR is a baller. Closest player I've seen to Grealish. He even copies his low socks Also played alot when England U17s won the world cup Edited June 28, 2021 by Lord Willard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Need ESR to come out and say he wants a move. Surely arsenal don't want another failure of letting their good players go on a free or next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Arsenal shouldn't stand in his way if he wants to challenge himself at a bigger club with a brighter future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the lad would rather stay at Arsenal if they were willing to give him the contract he thinks he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to get there quickly before he signs the extension. We need to make Arsenal wobble and consider it then get the deal done quickly before they get to think about it. Paying a big premium for ESR now will reap rewards in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were able to actually make that happen then the pressure is on Smith to deliver European football next season it really is. If we had that front 4 , given that we have a very settled back 4 and keeper, a quality recruit in the centre of the park should have us dominating many games next season. Big "if" though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The best thing about this is that even if we don't get him, it sends waves through the footballing world that Aston Villa are back and mean business. Other players we go in for now would be more inclined to join us knowing we are a top club again with big ambitions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 1 hour ago, John said: Guess who won't be happy about this : They're still in denial. They're picturing scenes of the Villa front office led by David Brent, faxing over blind lowball bids, while the Arsenal board laugh hysterically while taking turns passing the bids around a room filled with gold, like Scrooge McDuck's vault. After we actually sign ESR, the narrative will change (he's greedy, not good enough for Arsenal, they fleeced us, etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
