They were angels, it’s so ****ing high they need to use consett like a little chef on the motor way o. Their way to heaven
You are very likely right on Emery being more of an appealing name to potential foreign signings. Whilst Villa have won more than us over their history, I suspect the length of time they've been without major honours will have sufficiently diluted that, to the point where it doesn't add much attraction for a player choosing between them and us now. Certainly, we have our own attraction now with the ownership, with our ambitious project having been stated by the likes of Guimaraes as a major factor when deciding on signing. I'm content to be patient. Now moving on from your point CC (so don't get all wounded thinking this is some go at you). We've managed a lot of very good signings since Howe arrived, so whilst I was puzzled at moving for Barnes over a Diaby or similar, I can't really understand the level of disparagement of our transfer work. If it's pretty much disgruntlement at which positions are being prioritised, I think that we just need more patience. Yes, I would have preferred we strengthened right wing rather than signing competition for Gordon at left wing too, but we had a really weak squad not long ago. Needed strengthening all over the pitch. We're now not really too far off being pretty well covered in most positions. Upgrades still needed for RW, CB, striker, LB if hall is too far off being ready. I'm fairly confident these areas will be some of the next we turn our attentions to, though FFP may slow the process a little. Trippier, Bruno, Botman, Isak, Gordon all very good signings. Tonali may well prove to belong in that camp long term. Livramento too. A lot of money spent on more glamorous foreign names there too, for all the Howe prefers an English plodder accusations (though we can pretend we know exactly who was responsible for each transfer window/signing and give all the credit for the successes to Nickson etc. Howe only wanted the less successful signings apparently). Even after that lot, the signings have still been almost universally decent. Pope, Burn, Targett are all solid players, picked up for good prices. Hall hopefully will come good long term too - far too soon to be righting him off.
This is a reasonable reply apart from one unnecessary comment directed at his level of content. Apart from that it's an opinion which is perfectly acceptable. Take note heathens!
Well I mean I'm happy you're content mate I just don't see the relevance or how it adds strength to your perfectly reasonable opinion. you've expressed your opinion in the correct manner
