Doing pushups/goblet squats/abs bicycle everyday for every point earned till we win the league. Day 91: 36 pushups ✅
Finding out Sam Dean isn’t an Arsenal fan had me in shock. What a twist
International breaks are boring as f**k
The fucking worst. At least our injured players can hopefully recover
One thing I’m absolutely certain of is us not getting Douglas Luiz in the middle of Villa’s best season in years. But I know my club, we’ll spend most of the Jan window pursuing him anyway
Woah this new reddit web browser layout is crap. Why’s it changed now
I’ll be disappointed in Jesus if he chooses to start against Argentina even though he knows he has an injury. It’s not about putting Arsenal above Brazil, but more the fact that he’s gonna screw himself over with his recovery.
I didnt see the england game last night, why did rice goal disallowed?
I get why we have international breaks but I wish they weren’t this frequent and long at the beginning of the season, it really feels like the leagues can’t build up any hype for the first half of it cause every time shit gets juicy boom 2 week international break
Whatever we do in January, I think people should not start looking at any prem midfielders to fill that gap.
They’ll all be too expensive and unlikely to leave
Nah we will pick up Rodri and foden after the relegation is handed down.
Tbf if we’re gonna waste money rather Luiz than Toney. Rather a Midfielder than a striker.
100 percent - feel like next summer is the window for a striker
We’re gonna pay 80m for Douglas Luiz in the summer aren’t we 👀… too much smoke
Unless Dougie Luiz has a release clause any January pursuit will be futile
I’m pessimistic as well.
It sounds like that thing DoFs do where a manager demands a solution, then they punch in the numbers and find the best available option, fail because it was almost impossible, and go down the list; down to someone cheaper, last year of contract and senior. Basically the Jorginho play book.
So, welcome Adrien Rabiot.
Actually wouldn’t hate it
Players can force moves we all know that is the case. He can refuse to train or play until he gets a move. For all we know he wants out of villa.
It doesn’t matter. Forcing a move doesn’t exactly change anything. Zaha tried that before we went for Pepe and the price was still the same. The most recent example is Caicedo.
The most famous one is Antony. Forcing a move doesn’t knock down the price ESPECIALLY if you’re a desirable asset by the club.
Whoever we buy at LCM has to be a 6/8 not another 8/10.
For me, offensive player who is good off the ball. If they can drop in to play in the pivot, even better.
I just don’t see why we’d need another one. We have four players who can play 6, four who can play 10 and only one who can play 6/8. Currently we need to play Rice - Jorginho - 10 every game. If Rice gets injured our season will collapse because Jorginho with any 2 of our 10s will get run over by any midfield we’ll face.
Can someone explain why Douglas Luiz for £60m now is a better deal than £30m for Douglas Luiz the last time we tried to get him. Cheers
Because budgets are a thing
We have a billionaire owner they ask for more money when they want.
They can pay with walmart cupons if Emery would be interested
Ladies and Gentleman, your honour, we have made it half way through the international break. It will soon be over, this terrible nightmare will be history 🎉
And it’s the last one this seas… oh no, there’s March. Nevermind.
At least after this one they’ll be consistent club football for at least two months
