Popular Post Pliskin Posted 10 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 June 2023 There seems to be a bit of bizarre resentment here, talk as if Villa are tin pot…. Need I remind a few that we are the silly ***** who got relegated? Villa are a decent squad, Emery is doing good things there, and there’s a question whether he will even get into the team regularly…. He maybe won’t…. The fact of the matter is, WE offered him a silly contract, it ran down and no one came in for him…. So the situation is as it is…… Youri is probably used to the midlands now, and Villa can offer him European football. I don’t blame him going there, they’re on an upward trajectory. It doesn’t sound like he was drowning in offers either. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tanya Posted 10 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 June 2023 I didnt realize how salty I was about relegation until now. This **** didnt sign a contract with us because he wanted a top four club and now he is at Villa. Villa is a fine club with a proud history but it is not the sort of club Youri was thinking of when he turned us down. I hate to quote Rodgers but Youri is a prime example of a player who isnt as good as he thought he was. Enjoy trundling around Villa Park in relative obscrurity Youri, you arrogant, so-called professional. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing their interest waned after the poor season he’s had. ...I was never of the opinion that any type of fee was on the table!!! Why would he sign after all this time when a big signing-on bonus was just down the road? I said at Christmas that I would take £10-15m for him, right there and then but others believed he was worth more playing to the end of the season and keeping us up. I really felt that he would not leave this club and that he would negotiate a contract because I did not feel any big club would pick him up. His performances this season show he has nothing to give us, and wherever he goes, we just need to find some more consistency to fill his role. Edited 10 June 2023 by sacreblueits442 Update.

baldeagle Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 On his day he can be absolutely unplayable and I’ll always love him for THAT goal to win us the FA Cup . But the last 18-24 months he’s not had a on his day and that’s why he’s going to Villa on a free and not one of the big boys . Emery is a quality manager so will probably get him firing again . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isnt a slam against Villa, who I like and respect. This is a criticism against Youri who turned us down when we were flying and then his camp leaked to everyone who would listen he wanted to sign with an elite club. If a champions league or even europa league team came in for him we would have gone there. Villa seems like the best of what he was offered whether they did it swiftly or not and frankly, are at Youri's level. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm swimming against the current with the bitterness on here against Youri. But imo Villa have fluked getting a potentially top class player who's way beyond their level. This is what Villa always do. Always have. Steve Staunton or Julian Joachim or Lloyd McGrath or Peter Schmeichel or now Buendia and Youri. They wait like vultures for players who make their name elsewhere and opportunistically pick them up. Rancid club. Hmm, I wouldn’t agree with this at all. Villa may not have won the league recently, but they are former European champions. It’s a tad disrespectful to say they’re signing players beyond their level….. don’t forget we spend a decade languishing in the second and third tiers of English football, whilst they were on the premier league. He’s joined a club on an upwards trajectory. It’s largely our fault he’s left for free, that’s what we can be salty about, not about where he has gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Lisemore Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 (edited) Surprised. We all knew he would leave for a while even if we survived but Aston Villa? bloody hell Youri. Edited 10 June 2023 by J.Lisemore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just another shining example of how we’ve ****ed up. Youri leaving for clubs potentially replacing our efforts to breach the top 6. It just makes me hate the club even more…… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 I Must say..I have no feelings whatsoever..player played to his contract ( his right), but club were just not clever enough,to re spark his interest in the Leicester story.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonyFox Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 He's gone. He was sometimes good, sometimes bad. But he's no longer a Leicester player so I couldn't care less where he goes. Close thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazzyfox Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Medical was straight forward, he‘s pulled out of challenges and not sprinted for 18 months, he should be fine. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebluefox85 Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Think he soon realised that you play like he has for more than a season the top 6 are not going to come calling for you he isn’t consistent enough! It does **** me off he’s gone villa because it isn’t really a progression is it but let them pay his ridiculously high wage good riddance just madders,Barnes, faes, ward, and soumare left to get out the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp packet Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Scored a goal which will I will never forget in cup final . Not bitter. Last two seasons showed wasn’t good enough for a top 4 club. Which is why we Had him for the the last four seasons…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopfkino Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 I don’t really give a shit where any of them end up tbh. More fussed about sorting ourselves out for the future and building again than what becomes of the dickheads that ****ed it on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1 Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Villa will probably be in the same boat we were in, in a couple of seasons. And when they are and need to fight, don't look at Youri. Good player on his day but literally has no fight or backbone. I always thought he'd end up in Italy, where the slower pace would allow him to stroll around the pitch without a care in the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 When he said he was considering a change I thought he meant from spearmint to cherry gum, all he’s done for a year is jog around pointing whilst chewing gum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa have had 6 months of good form but they surely weren’t the club that Youri set his sights on when he refused a new deal after the FA Cup. He’s joined them because his effort and form have dropped off a Cliff and his choices therefore reduced significantly. Him playing in a Villa shirt next season rather than a Champions League team will be a constant reminder of how our team transpired to get relegated through a lack of effort because most thought we’d be fine and had one foot out of the door. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_wright Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 I hope Emery isn’t expecting any pressing in midfield, or any fight or battle….. I hope they get Ndidi too - be the icing on the cake 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownfox Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Good luck to him, I think the club rated him higher and probably wanted a high price last year and chose not to sell him. He’s gone villa on the up and we went down we move on. Thanks for the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
