@mattavfcc @avfc_david Not suggesting the gap can't be filled. Just pointing out it won't be straightforward to find a replacement. As we know from the Grealish transfer.

[Mowgs @ghartless]

Want to know what life looks like without Rogers? Look no further than the first 6 games of last season. Rogers was way off it and consequently so were Villa. Emery stuck with him, played him into form, and he (and Villa), never looked back. He would leave a chasm to fill.

[Mowgs @ghartless]

@Alex_Berwick @OP4C @avfc_david Let's also remember he's always available to play. That alone is worth millions.

[Mowgs @ghartless]

@tobyholcroft @Alex_Berwick I'm hoping it's a case of 1 more year of navigating the Uefa financial restrictions and we can then be on a more stable footing from next summer.

[Mowgs @ghartless]

Amazes me that there is so little transfer interest surrounding Kamara. Clearly his injuries, and the timing of them, are mitigating factors, but to my mind he's arguably Villa's most important player.

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

New: Aston Villa transfer dealsheet - incomings and outgoings:

Intent on keeping Rogers, wanting Martinez to stay, adhering to a finance plan, key positions to recruit (a pacey winger), but are also dependent on who leaves.

Luis Enrique's first principle is how can I hurt the opposition?

Arteta's is how can I stop the opposition?

Perhaps this is sensible in the PL but personally I find it rather depressing.

All that talent, all that money spent, just to set up like Southgate or Pulis.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

Arsenal have set the record for the lowest possession percentage for a team playing in a Champions League final (since records began in 2003-04).

The previous lowest record was also Arsenal, set in the 2006 Champions League final, which they played 72 minutes with 10 men.

Another trophy to fight for 😤

We’ll face Paris Saint-Germain for the UEFA Super Cup 🏆

@ss2487 @Son_Lyme @Nik_Ader @JPercyTelegraph @mcgrathmike Wages and age. Eventually the accountants always win.

[Mowgs @ghartless]

A lot of Villa fans appear to not rate Gordon. This surprises me. Yes, his end product could be more refined, but overall he's a top talent entering his peak. Will be interesting to see if Barca think they can accommodate him and Rashford, or if Marcus needs to find a new home.

[John Percy @JPercyTelegraph]

Barcelona are very close to agreeing a £70m deal with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon. Fee could rise on instalments and various clauses. Progressing fast and possible medical later this week if talks continue to advance. Story with @mcgrathmike #nufc https://t.co/kSDyMdQSjt

[Mowgs @ghartless]

@ConnorWoolf1995 @TalkinTactics Not so sure it's in the player's interest. He plays every minute for Villa and could easily start before Bellingham at the World Cup. Worth giving that up to fight for minutes with Eze, Foden, Palmer or Fernandes?

[Mowgs @ghartless]

Mr Jacobs has had a busy day of shilling.

Anderson, Gordan, Rogers? Roll up, roll up. All available at bargain prices. ✅

Fernandez and Pedro? Hands off! Not for sale! ❌

Rinse and repeat for the next 100 days! 💰💰💰

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea value Enzo Fernandez at £120m.

Preference to keep, but no breakthrough in contract talks.

⚠️ Understand Fernandez wants to leave and would welcome a Real bid.

Nothing advancing with #MCFC despite Enzo Maresca's appointment.

[Aston Villa Statto @AVFCStatto]

Just updating my stats following the Man City game.

Aston Villa won 33 games this season across all competitions.

Villa have never done that in a top flight season beating last years record of 32 wins.

Incredible.

@Chrsmo @Alex_Berwick Cash for most improved for me. Every time I think the team has outgrown him, he finds another level. Remarkably consistent this season.

Honourable mention to sub keeper who also drastically improved!

[Mowgs @ghartless]

@Son_Lyme @AntonioMango4 I can hear it in a lovely Basque accent!

[Mowgs @ghartless]

Excited to see who Emery will be competing against for manager of the season.

[Aston Villa @AVFCOfficial]

Top-four finish ✅
Europa League winners 🏆

Unsustainable FC 😤

[Mowgs @ghartless]

When did we last do the double over Man City @AVFCStatto ?

[Mowgs @ghartless]

@TomCollomosse @RicardoAVFC Spot on. Nor should it be ignored that every time Villa qualify for the CL, one of the regulars does not, gradually closing the revenue gulf.

[Mowgs @ghartless]

@Son_Lyme @wayne_cas Are you suggesting we can afford Harvey Elliott after all?
