Obviously I know that's a one dimensional train of thought, but if they think they can/will be better without him, it hangs the question. What are his weaknesses? Wouldnt say a cast off, he hasnt agreed a new contract and played the same amount of games as Rice last season He was ran into the ground as he was never rested/rotated in midfield all season after played in the Euros, think Czech got to the quarters 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just using fans to further their own careers and that doesn't suit well with me - I prefer my Villa content to be more organic and don't want to listen to self-serving BS. For them it's just about likes and subscribers so they can use the stats on their CVs. I remember when Bardell was promoting The Athletic and claiming he had no vested interest in the publication. Shortly after he was partnering with gregg Evans on their villa podcast and writing content. Or when they closed the channel as they didn't have time and then rebooted it shortly after with a Purity sponsorship attached. Maybe I'm a purist, but I think fan content should be for the love of doing it and not some other selfish motive.

Bit worried we missed out on Bentancur in Jan, also bid for Bissouma that month and linked a bit with Kalvin Phillips and Gerrard will just conclude he'll stick with existing options now Kamara is in. I think that's a big error for a few reasons unless Luiz and Carney sort their contracts out and even then it dosen't really feel good enough if we want to seriously challenge for europe.

Delphinho123 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Could do a lot worse than signing Alex Scott and loaning him back to City for a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Villa View they've produced some good content over the years with good access to the club and ex players. That doesn't happen if they aren't bringing in money and sponsorship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice for Tyrone We need to move Hause out on Loan really as we've improved on him by signing Carlos. We've an excellent back 5 and it's even better with a proper 6 in the team too.
