@mattavfcc@MarkOldacres@EmerysVilla Ultimately are hands are tied. FFP/SCR means we can’t buy players who are ready made and young.
So it’s either a young player who needs time to adjust or an experienced player who can fit in day one.
Emery isn’t here to take his time… he’s here to do things now.
@mattavfcc@MarkOldacres@EmerysVilla You literally said we haven’t signed young players that are used. We have. We’ve signed as many young as over 28.
A couple have left. Who knows what will happen with Alysson and Madjo this season but to act like Emery only buys OAP’s is nonsense.
@Villa_Verse Maatsen, Dobbin, Iling Junior and Barrenchea we clearly needed to do for FFP so values are disingenuous.
Archer and Philogene we sold on for similar money.
I would absolutely still pay £56m for Onana and Barkley
@mattavfcc@MarkOldacres@EmerysVilla Onana was 22 when we signed him, Maatsen 22, Diaby 23, Duran 18 or 19.
If you include Rogers that’s as many under 23’s as over 28’s.
Why is Harry Kane at fucking right back.
Never see this for Bayern, as soon as it gets to England he spends ten minutes next to Elliott Anderson, then he’s right back with 2 minutes to go at 0-0.
@Salibasexual02@j_macgeever@slbsn Looking at his numbers it’s less likely that it’ll be 30th June.
€60m to comply is probably already met with loan obligations around Barrenechea, Malen, Ozcan etc…
2027 seems a bigger challenge so would make more sense to sell after June.
@GrindItOut a) June 30th 2027 isn’t 8 days it’s 376 days.
b) I wouldn’t get to excited because this is nonsense, he’s got UEFA allowed expenses as a cost. When it’s an allowed expense so should be deducted from the loss.
c) we have about 20 fringe players out on loan who we could sell.
That’s not a penalty, the only reason he takes out Martinez is because the number 4 gets the ball first.
Then the other Austrian player catches him.
Never a penalty
@RobhRyan@Shamsdale We have the 7th highest wage bill in England and just finished 4th, we had the 11th highest wage bill in Europe the season we narrowly lost in the last 8 to the eventual champions who you failed to lay a glove on…
You went on to spend £200m. We had -£16m net spend.
@BradFoy30@NeilA1878@Puffalo_Bill@AVFCchats You have less trophies, you’ve been in the top flight less than Villa.
But yes you’re a much bigger team because Beyoncé and the Cleveland Browne show up once in a while.
@BradFoy30@NeilA1878@Puffalo_Bill@AVFCchats Since the PL starting we’ve won two league cups and a Europa League….
I know we can’t possibly compare with Spurs and their *checks notes* two league cups and a Europa League.
