    Seems an odd one. I’m a Liverpool supporter so I know full well that ox doesn’t have any knees. He can be decent when fit, but the when fit part is a problem.

      Can confirm as an Arsenal lad, no clue why this transfer’s happening. Could be just for depth I suppose, they’re in Europe next season so they’ll need it.

      Villa needs the depth and also needs to take some bargain bin shots at talent. I don’t love it but I understand it

      I think we’re trying to snag some cheap depth so can focus our transfer budget on players that would be legitimate upgrades.

      Villa really needs an upgrade on the wings

      Also of note - our CEO, Purslow, is leaving and we’re looking to replace him with a new sporting director (currently targeting Monchi from Sevilla). All this to say, transfer strategy is almost all in Emery’s hands this summer
