Cruyff has left, they have gaps in the boardroom so they have offered him better terms to stay. He would been well aware what the plan was with us before flying here with a contract on offer. Dunno, Barca seem to do a lot of business in the open and through the press... Maybe Villa were used all along, sounds like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope so too yet in respect to a few transfers of players we've been linked to the same has happened... Smith-Rowe to name one... Float some names in the media and create a link then get a pay-rise. Snakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual with Villa one step forward two steps back. lol they're going off the deep end now. What more could he have "found out" now after having allegedly having so many meetings with the club, physically visiting etc to the point that he had an agreement in place to join. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alemany hasn't done a 360, he's done a 180. Hence my post was he still joining when the poster said he done a 360. But he was at Barcelona originally. So I am team 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Aston Villa, man. Whenever we get a head of steam, we blow a gasket. Gut punch. Watch Emery walk now too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We'll never know what impact he would have had Vs whomever we get in for the role now. So different to losing a top player. At least we still have Emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Oh well. I don't think it's as big a deal as some will start thinking but sure it won't stop a little meltdown. We'll be absolutely fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
