Because it's us that "leaks" romano the info, we use him when buying players, by he looks of it not when selling players though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 We have to be lining up a high profile replacement for him if he goes. If we aren’t we are being negligent and our attack is going to be weaker next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby, Moussa, running down the wing, Moussa, hear the Villa sing, Moussa, he's now going to to Saudiiiiiiiiii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anything the football side of villa in charge now done, to indicate they would do anything negligent to affect the desires outcome we all want? Seriously what's with this hyper dramatic language. It's proper embarrassing. If I were you I would be embarrassed man. Edited July 18 by Hank Scorpio 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I'll be sad to see him go, but as it stands, he doesn't get into our strongest XI at the moment anyway. I can see one big name replacing Diaby and Duran. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 18 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18 Have always felt we should have gone with the Whitney Houston song. I suppose as it didn’t take off here, the Saudis can adopt it for him. I’m sure they definitely will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything11 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I don't begrudge players going to Saudi or other leagues to ply their trade. As fans we have skewed views and believe that players should want to die for the shirt. In reality its a job for a lot of people and having a rewarding and balanced life is more important in many situations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's proper embarrassing. If I were you I would be embarrassed man. There’s no need to be catty man. It’s almost like you’re trying to get a reaction. Not embarrassed at all, you’re just being sensitive. ‘Negligent’ is not an extreme adjective (if you know what that is) so no idea why you think I’m being dramatic. On this occasion it was actually a mild post. Basically if Diaby goes and he’s not replaced we are losing a player that got 19 G/A last season and is perfectly capable of doubling those numbers this season (in my opinion). Bailey could easily drop off, Ramsey and Buendia have had long injuries so might take a while to find any form, and Iling Jr is not yet anywhere the level of someone like Diaby. We’ve also lost Luiz’s goal contributions. I think they will bring in a proven top quality player anyway but it’ll be worrying if Diaby and Duran are sold before we have found someone because we could then be scrambling around to find someone just before the season starts. I’d rather the replacement was signed before the players are let go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see one big name replacing Diaby and Duran. I think by the end of 24-25 it is highly probable he replaces Bailey in the first 11. Lots of great players in this league struggled in their first season - Son for example only got 4 goals in his first season at Spurs and started a lot less than Diaby did last season after also coming over from Germany but from season 2 onwards he was awesome. Diaby had a much better first season than he did and still featured in every game for us. That’s why the replacement has to be capable of coming in and hitting the ground running or we will definitely notice a drop off in our attack.

On this occasion it was actually a mild post. Isn’t negligence essentially being “reckless” as to the foreseeable risk of causing harm? Used in that sense, I do not see Emery, Monchi and co being negligent about anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
