Here we go, the vultures are already circling regarding Manzambi. Rumour mill suggesting Barca and Real Madrid are monitoring his performances.
True or not, he's signed a 5 year contract and he ain't going anywhere in the next 3 years.

Doesn't every club monitor every decent player out there via their scouting department, wouldn't be much of a scouting department if they didn't.

It would never happen but hypothetically, Would any Villa fan take Bruno Fernandes at Villa?
IMO, wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Seems to be a very disruptive influence in the changing room and to me a major reason behind the management merry go round at Utd.
Talented, yes, but far too much baggage. Will always want to be the big fish.

Would rather have Robbie Savage

Donyell Malen is the most prolific stirker anywhere in Europe since his transfer on 18th Jan to Roma.
Unbelievable!
20 goals! £21m. What is he worth now? £50, £60, £70m?
Possibly one of the worst transfer deals Villa have done in the past 10 years.
1.) 18 Sep 2026 18:01:42
One way of looking at it, none of us wanted to see either of them go but 71 million for Malen and Watkins wasn't bad business. in the perfect world Watkins would of left and Malen would be our main man now, we were unlucky with how the cards fell.

A decent enough performance last night. Some positives, Mbaye's pace, Hemmings pace, THB solid, Abraham scoring. Coventry are poor but you can only beat what's in front of you.
Negatives: Bizot, Bogarde and Mings. I know we shouldn't criticise too quickly but the change in our options when Suzuki came on was startling. Bogarde did not look good. Since his debut when he looked a promising youngster his performances have gone backwards. 3 times, at least, he gave the ball away either on the edge of the box or in the penalty area. Far too risky. Mings again tries to look too confident on the ball but his feet just don't seem to keep up with his confidence.
Manzambi started to look more effective and I'm sure he will get better and better. Allyson too, looked bright.
What is happening with Garnacho? Emery's post match comments suggest to me that he's already made his mind up and won't be featuring in many games, certainly not enough to trigger the obligation to buy. We'll see.

Hope Mbaye isn't an anagram for maybe . again ?
1.) 28 Aug 2026 22:59:57
He has a medical booked for tomorrow, so hopefully it will go through, as long as he has no underlying issues.
2.) 29 Aug 2026 09:29:17
Or we get gazumped by Ipswich.

I think this is correct, Man City have only lost 3 times in the league this calendar year. 2 of those defeats are against Villa.
Class.

Well, well, I wonder what Youri is thinking right now.
Couldn't wait to jump ship and now ?
All for money ?

Not just him Martinez has conceded most goals in prem for Chelsea, Digne not getting in PSG team, Roger's hardly pulling up trees for Chelsea either. Only one I'd have back is Konsa.
24 Oct 2026 14:46:44
Great performance, thoroughly deserved victory.
This is the standard now.
Plaudits across the team and most of all to Unai Emery.
Maresca showing his lack of respect during a spat with some Villa coaches.
22 Oct 2026 07:14:51
Wow! What a performance. Emery is a genius. Playing 3 at the back tonight was absolutely spot on. Back 3 never put a foot wrong. Thought Gomes was outstanding tonight. Seemed to pop up all over the pitch.
Buendia should have had a hat trick.
The pace up front was electrifying. Wingers are 19 and 20 !!!
I thought this could have been a banana skin game but reality was very different.
Pity we conceded toward the end but 3 wins out of 3. The 2nd fastest team to 20 wins in UCL/European cup is an amazing stat.
My only concern is McGinn game time. He is playing a lot of minutes which will surely catch up with him and as we know he is the heartbeat of this team and club.
UTV!

Super performance, only disappointment for me was Bellis not getting any minutes and spare Lindelof once we were comfortable.
can't wait for the city game and see how we fair at home against a top team, great to see Maatsen back on the bench last night we will need his pace on Saturday.
21 Oct 2026 20:15:43
Scandinavian teams are notoriously tricky to play against.
Feel this will be no different tonight.
There could be a surprise in store for us.
28 Aug 2026 18:03:02
In other news we're now in for Mbaye... You couldn't make this transfer window up.
26 Aug 2026 18:13:02
Looks like you may have hit the nail on the head, 74. Ordonez is off to Palace. The only thing I'd say is Ordonez is currently injured, so it would be 4-5 weeks before he's even fit again.
I don't know. What a transfer window this has been, and not in a great way so far.
25 Aug 2026 17:03:59
Medical today, and just waiting announcement apparently.
25 Aug 2026 13:58:30
Medical passed. Announced later today.
3 or 4 possible on the way. ??
21 Aug 2026 08:51:30
Does the rule that we can't trade with Chelsea until 42 days have elapsed since we sold Rogers to them, otherwise we don't get full value for the £117m on the BS as far as UEFA are concerned, not apply anymore?
23 Oct 2026 06:10:17
Monopoly money ?
21 Oct 2026 19:01:14
No recognised fullback in the starting XI. Have to say I'm very surprised.
Be really interesting to see how we lineup.
11 Oct 2026 16:59:11
He wouldn't get criticised so much if he didn't have a mistake in him every single game.
Unfortunately we have a shortage of CBs so he will get game time.
He was useful for first 3 or 4 years back in the Premier League but his no longer anywhere near good enough.
I feel sure we'll be buying another CB in January.
26 Sep 2026 09:46:00
Thanks ?.

100% Scotty.
I've used the word passive, but that's probably being kind.
