Fenerbahce want Watkins on loan. How braindead do they think we are? Ollie might as well retire if he moved to Turkey.

If he goes there on loan, maybe we should go for Osimhen from Galatasaray on loan. ?

Juve not much better. Constantly looking for first team players from other teams, but don’t want to hand over money for them. Sky report that they ended their pursuit of Martinez. I wouldn’t call what they were doing “pursuing”, more like begging and trying to unsettle our player. How the mighty have fallen.
I think back to the players they had when they were a powerhouse of football: Pavel Nedved, Alessandro Del Piero, Trezeguet, Edgar Davids, Thuram, Buffon, Zidane, the list is endless. Now they are the beggars of Europe, on your bike and don’t come back without your chequebook.

My gut tells me Emi will go to Saudi & they'll probably pay what we want for him.

4.) 02 Aug 2026 15:41:56
I think he sees out his contract, then goes to Saudi. I'd rather just keep him until his contract expires. Not worth a huge amount, and it costs a fortune to replace him.

Manzambi deal done, big fee... Exciting one though.
1.) 18 Jul 2026 00:01:21
I hope we did our due diligence and not base our decision purely on his WC performance, which, in fairness, was good, but countering that, he was virtually anonymous against us in the Europa League final. Most experts seem to think it's a good deal, so fair enough, but it's a sizeable fee for one so young and with no PL experience.

Just read a ridiculous article about Martinez being sold to Juve for 5 million. Where do they get this rubbish?
1.) 08 Jun 2026 09:39:31
In other news, Tonali, Wharton and Anderson price tags are all 100 million, but Rogers apparently is 80 million...
Wharton, 1 goal, 5 assists.
Tonali, 1 goal, 5 assists.
Anderson, 4 goals, 5 assists.
Rogers, 13 goals, 11 assists.
Figure that one out.
2.) 08 Jun 2026 12:23:43
I know its a joke. Rodgers wont go for anything less than 110mil mil if he goes, that is. Im let listening to the press media, they talk alot of bs.
3.) 08 Jun 2026 18:18:32
The whole article on Martinez is rubbish. The salary he is supposedly on £230k is wrong, and although we do have certain SCR issues, by returning Sancho, Elliott, and Luiz we save circa £350k a week, and if the likes of Mings, Digne, Guessand, and Bailey leave, we will save a further £300-400k a week, so it's not the doom and gloom that certain media outlets are peddling.
4.) 08 Jun 2026 20:54:46
The SCR thing... reports Emi is on £230K & that's why we're ok with letting him go. Then we make a bid for Rashford who is on even more money, clown world. ?
UTV.
5.) 08 Jun 2026 22:17:56
Apparently Rashford has lowered his wage demands, and if we lose our 3 loan players that would more than cover Rashford's wage demands.
6.) 09 Jun 2026 00:50:48
Lotm, personally I don’t want to see Digne leave. Maatsen is a liability defensively, and we’re much weaker without him imo. The others I’m fine with leaving. As for Rashford, I think there’s younger players out there just as good as him. We qualified for the Champions League in 2 of the past 3 years, missing out the year that he was here.
On paper we had a weaker squad this year, but we got our business done, so I’m fine with signing him or not signing him. I don’t think he’s going to make or break us. We need younger players with resale value in my opinion.
7.) 09 Jun 2026 10:33:03
I like Rashford, he is a good player, proven in the Premiership, and what's more Emery can get a tune out of him. If, as reported, he is willing to take a significant drop in salary and is available at circa £25 million, I would take him, particularly as players like Rowe and other wingers we are being linked with are only available at £35 million plus and none of those have shown they can cut it in the PL.
03 Jun 2026 00:10:13
Karin Adeyemi now there’s a player I’d snap up asap, you know the drill with these rumours but apparently we’re monitoring his situation.
1.) 04 Jun 2026 00:32:44
Would be an amazing signing if we got him whack. Only thing is hes on 100thou a week, mate. I also see Unai wants only rumours thou, a cb, rb, 2 cms, 2 winger, and striker.
03 May 2026 20:54:40
If we finish in Champions League places and win the Europa League I hate Emery and still hope he leaves in the summer. Done with his tactics and boring football. We played entertaining football a handful of times this year and it’s not good enough. Champions League you're having a laugh.
1.) 03 May 2026 22:10:32
Well, if he does leave, let's review where we are at the end of next season, shall we. I do wonder whether we deserve an elite manager tbh.
2.) 04 May 2026 01:38:54
Elite managers don’t roll over like he did today. Elite managers don’t waste 100 million on the likes of Guessand, Maatsen, Malen, Abraham. Any elite manager I can think of would have changed it after 30 mins today.
The football we are playing most weeks is pure tripe, and if Spurs and Chelsea weren’t so bad we wouldn’t have a sniff of the Champions League. Same last year and the year before, United and Spurs so bad. I see people online trying to say he threw the game so Forrest would have to go full strength tomorrow, but I don’t believe it for a minute.
If he did, why would he risk Martinez with his injury problems this season, or Youri, or Cash, or Rogers? He thought we could defend a 0-0 and sneak a goal, like he’s been trying to do all season. Our football has gone down the toilet. 1 of the worst teams in the league to watch. We are a disgrace and only in the position we are because other teams are as bad as us.
3.) 04 May 2026 08:59:53
Google elite football managers and see whose name appears on the list.
4.) 04 May 2026 09:34:31
Whack, Malen wasn't a waste of money. Selling him was a huge mistake. Check his stats.
As for the rest, pathetic bunch of strikers.
LotM, you cannot seriously defend what we've seen over the last 3 games.
5.) 04 May 2026 10:25:24
I accept fully our performances over the last month or so have been poor, but they were at the start of the season and we then went on that fantastic run. Who's to say we won't again? So, throwing arguably the most talented coach we have had in the modern era under a bus is just plain nuts. If you look at the guy's record in the round, he took a club who were flirting with relegation to one that has got to a European semi final twice, as well as the quarter final of the Champions League, that against the backdrop of PSR restrictions.
He has improved every player in the squad, and this season he has had to deal with a centre forward whose performances have dipped, and an injury list that took out our first choice midfield for a couple of months. Unai has plenty of credit in the bank in my view.
6.) 04 May 2026 12:08:00
Unai used to be elite but isnt no more. He won a trophy in 9years. If we dont win Europa, I hope he steps dwn or owners decide to get a manager that can take us further and play attacking football, and that can find gems in the transfer window. The money Unai has had, his signings havent been great. Maatsen not guessand awfull. Tammy, average. Allyson hardly played. Pau Torres is decent CB. Diaby was hit n miss. Malen is good player, deserved more starts but was better wide.
Nedelcovic never got given a chance, same with Barrencha. Illing Jnr hasnt been given a chance aswell. Rodgers was a good signing and yt, and Id say Pau aswell. You look at the age of our squad aswell, future isnt bright. Unai cant nurture young talent, he only likes to sign players for the now mainly. Im not having it that none of our players from Academy, Reserves or U18s rnt good enough. Other managers in the league play there youth, we used to but dont no more. Its so annoying.
7.) 04 May 2026 12:36:50
He won Europa in 21-22, Jonny, but I do agree with a good bit of what you said. Yesterday was embarrassing. I thought the Wolves game was a new low, but this one takes the biscuit.
Hoddle was raving about how good Spurs played, but they didn't really. They started well, but they didn't create chance after chance for the whole game. Even if we had made more changes after 60 mins we'd of gotten more goals. Their keeper is pants, first shot on target was a goal.
The only thing that game yesterday did was breed confidence into a team we should be relegating and getting rid of them as competition for Europe and for signings. It also drained the confidence out of our guys, and it has split the supporters. Paying fans deserved more than that. Obviously, I watched it on tv, and you could see nothing but anger and disappointment on the faces of anyone the camera focused on.

Why couldn't he make those changes 10 mins earlier, it was plain to see we were out of legs and you knew a goal was coming. at least we didnt lose.
28 Oct 2026 17:30:05
I see keith hacket complaining about villa again, this time its over the Maatsen penalty incident. should of been a penalty he says, what an idiot. maatsen never touched him, in fact for me it was a free out after the attacker stands on mastsen.
24 Oct 2026 13:34:07
Cracking game so far, what a finish by Jackson.
18 Oct 2026 21:24:47
Great game yesterday, they threw the kitchen sink at us and we stood firm, and away from home. they done their best to hurt multiple villa players. jackson and manzambi look great, Lindelof MOTM for me. things are looking up apart from the injuries. great 3 points, Emery is working us up the table nicely.
UTV.
14 Oct 2026 22:38:50
Super performance and result, clean sheet too. they were outstanding every single one. such an enjoyable watch, our attack looked world class, Jackson and Manzambi on the same wavelength will terrorise defenders. some of their footwork and dribbling tonight was out of this world.
still buzzing.

24 Oct 2026 00:34:37
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.
18 Oct 2026 21:18:51
lol Neb.
22 Sep 2026 19:58:19
I couldn't see him going to United either, although there are probably a few more clubs than the ones you mentioned where he might move next. I could see him in Italy before United.
I honestly believe he's here for the long haul, if he gets this team clicking he will want to build his legacy.
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.
28 Aug 2026 22:49:15
Way to put a dampener on it, Lotm. ??
02 Nov 2026 19:13:23
Ironically a lot of the new penalty rules were created because of Emi Martinez carry on putting players off ??
01 Nov 2026 19:11:13
I mentioned the other day after Bournemouth that I was disappointed with Goretzka, watching him in the first half I thought ok maybe I was harsh as he was very decent but second half he was non existent, fitness is his issue I think, for me last night was as much Emerys fault as any player, he had ample time to make changes, we were under constant pressure for 15 or 20 mins before they scored, same in the cup he waited till the scored the second one when he should of changed at half time.
stubbornness is his biggest negative point as a manager. I'll be happy with any European spot for next year, if it's Europa or conference we should be winning it. Brighton look like they will take our spot in the top 5, a lot will depend on how quick we can get the consistency in our play.
01 Nov 2026 18:59:34
At least 3 of those yellows were for pushing players in the back out on the sideline just like yesterday they were totally needless. we will miss him, McGinn is not far off aswel.
31 Oct 2026 12:14:41
I have to agree with Daz on this. this is a common trend Jonny, it usually ends up with you having to admit you were wrong and reaffirming your support of Emery and his methods. it was the league cup, he didn't care about it, even if we progressed to semi or final, those matches come at a bad time and usually around the same time as final 2 European league games in what is already a busy period, the priority after Christmas will be euro knockouts for the financial gains required to help our budget. my advice, learn to keep your powder dry and don't get so upset when our third choice team loses.
29 Oct 2026 23:26:53
It's ok Daz we can pretty much guess how your post would of read ?? a lot of negativity after last nights performance, but our season will not be defined on the match last night.
