Aston Villa banter 2

Surprised Emery went with Bogard when Luiz gets his first start I thought Onana would be a safer option especially with Henderson in the middle.

01 Feb 2026 20:47:25
Onana was injured before kick off

01 Feb 2026 23:49:10
He needs to be sold in the summer, good player on his day but you just can’t rely on him, 50 million outlay and then his wages, we just can’t afford to have him on the books, no room for luxury in our financial situation

At the risk of upsetting Tom I would play Mings today instead of Pau. Feel Brentford will launch long throws into our box and Mings is better at dealing with that threat. I know he made a mistake against Salzburg but all players make mistakes including Pau.
Thoughts anyone?

Sounds like a good call for me Tone

Not 1 pass did I see Torres spray like Tom claims, every time pass it to konsa who created nothing

Anyone know how many appearances Guessand has to make for the deal to be permanent?

31 Jan 2026 22:10:07
Has it even been officially confirmed that there is an appearance-based obligation clause? I've only seen rumours.

Does it make sense that we want Arsenal to beat all of our rivals to help our champions league chances, I can't see us catching Arsenal so it seems a sensible call to me.

31 Jan 2026 17:27:35
Yeh beat our rivals and lose to bottom half teams sounds about perfect 👌

It's called a true "win win" Whack.

Would u send Rory Wilson on loan to Hoff for the rest of the season needs to find out if he can play first team regular football

31 Jan 2026 16:09:58
Unfortunately I read it may have an option/obligation to buy, if it's the later I wouldn't let him go, unless Emery sees him as Guessand, Malen, Elliott.

Duran wants to leave fernanbache any chance of a last minute signing on loan

31 Jan 2026 17:29:01
Do we want someone with zero loyalty and couldn’t care less about villa? I’m not sure he’s a good fit for us but who knows

01 Feb 2026 05:27:16
The way I heard it about Duran was that with the money he was offered to go to Saudi, that he sent large chunks of it back to Columbia to help build infrastructure, hospitals etc in his home town, the other thing was that because he wasn’t married to his girlfriend he couldn’t live with her in Saudi, he had to jet in and out every day for training and matches from a neighbouring country

Whilst I wasn't on my own, I was extremely critical of Bailey his last season with us.I just listened to his interview on Sky and thought he spoke well and honest about the good and poor seasons in the past. That season when his confidence was sky high and the goals and assists were very common was brilliant, so I genuinely wish him well and hope I'm up there with the whole crowd at Villa park shouting his name, rather than the groans of his last season with us.

We need all hands to the pumps with our current injuries and Leon could play a vital part in our challenge for Champions League place which ever route that comes from.

31 Jan 2026 15:37:16
Scott, who would you rather have in the squad, Bailey or Guessand?
I know who I’d have.
Bailey has proved himself before, Guessand never played well for us.

31 Jan 2026 16:06:24
Trinity, Bailey all day long for me mate, he's proven he can do it, Guessand was one of our worst signings .

Pure speculation, i'm just thinking with guessand going to palace, maybe with or without the injury to Ollie, is this a sign of us getting jpm from palace but with the injury if its bad will it be sooner rather then later.

30 Jan 2026 19:27:58
I can't see how we could afford to or even justify spending £40m + top wages on a striker who isn't better than Ollie or Tammy IMO.

JPM has scored a fair few goals but he's missed a LOAD too and he doesn't work as hard as Ollie does for the team.
It appears he wants a pay rise from his reported 60k as he seems happy to move to Forest despite saying he wanted CL football.

31 Jan 2026 14:07:59
I listened to a Crystal Palace blogger regarding JPM, he went on to say"the first season he played he was awful (reminded me of Guessand), his goal scoring has only this season really picked up and his lazy and missing many easy chances, he thought he should be moved on because of inconsistency and wouldn't be missed" Palace appear to want to get rid, which to me is a red flag.Give me Ollie and Tammy all day long
