We paid nothing for Young on a 1 year deal as emergency back up. He's probably not staying but if he does it will probably be a other 1 year deal. Hardly breaking the bank.

Digne is a great signing adding much needed experience to the club.

Ings, Coutinho, Digne are all 29. They're hardly drawing a pension and other than Ings have worked tremendously. Still.a good chance Ings has a great year next year unless we ship him out. But he only cost £10m or so.

None of these players are exactly geriatric and have all added experience to a young squad overall.

Our owners are in the process of setting up an MLS franchise. I suspect that if we do break the bank on older players such as Suarez it will be short term for us before we ship them out to USA. But being linked to Suarez is not the same as buying him anyway.

Our owners are very shrewd. I don't see them running us into financial trouble, they've very very switched on businessmen, not some dodgy Russians or Chinese or rich boys spending Daddies money.

As I said. Big Koeman/Walsh vibes at Villa.

Hello. I am a member of Villatalk, an Aston Villa forum, I'm here in peace.

I've never joined another teams forum before but I felt I had to defend our position in the Richarlison thread after some members on Villatalk drew attention to them in our transfer thread.

Most Villa fans and especially those on VT generally have a healthy respect for Everton so I was suprised at some of the comments I read bearing in mind how similar our clubs are and shared similar history. We've had a few Everton fans drop by on there down the years.

Anyway I hope your situation improves as we've had our dark days and it's no fun at all.

We don’t want to see any of our decent players leave mate but circumstances mean we probably have to. Most on here like Villa and have no problem with your support. We’re all a bit fragile at the moment but good luck.

Lots to like about Villa. Deservedly back in the PL. Always good to see the historic clubs doing well. My worry with them is chasing too quickly, especially with Gerrard having eyes on another job.

First of all, welcome to the site mate, I like Villa and know (literally) a couple of fans. Had a few Irish players at one point in the 90s (McGrath/Staunton/Houghton) and they were my second team then.

Villa now though remind me of our Koeman disaster, buying the wrong age and wrong positions on a whimsy.
 
Villa are a very similar club to us in lots of ways, I don't think many here hate you lot but you did employ enemy no.1 as a manager so you have to expect a bit of stick until he is booted out. The sooner the better.
 

Welcome along pal.
My mate Jim is a big villain. Great club with great tradition. Glad you're back in the Prem, a club your size deserve to be at the top of the game.


Your manager is an absolute rancid gobshite though, and unfortunately while he is at your club I can wish only bad things upon you. The minute knobhead leaves I'll go straight back to respecting you as a club.

What city will the MLS franchise be in ?

Hello, I've been dying to ask a Villa fan this. What did you think about your current manager's punditry at the Champions League final. I would have gone off it had an Everton manager had carried on like he did.

No idea, I didn't see it. But the first I've heard about it is on here.

To be fair Stevie has split our fan base so I never go in the Gerrard thread on Villatalk as it's non stop bickering. I've no doubt if you look in on there you will see a range of responses.

Does he get called a crease headed kopite goblin by some of your fans? I'll take back my previous comment if he does.

Has he ever intimidated the stadium DJ into playing Phil Collins?
