My hobby-horse at the moment is: What might the Conference League do for our crop of seemingly good youngsters? Add in a League Cup run and might we find that training and playing under Emery might benefit the likes of Archer, A Ram, Pil-Bid, Tim I, etc much more than more games under lesser coaches in the Championship (I think the Conference League is at the same level or lower then the Championship). For example: given what Emery has done with Watkins, turning him into a more predatory striker, imagine what he might do with Archer whose instincts are already that way inclined...
I don't get the hate for the conference. My local club in Dublin (Bohemians) were able to turn fully professional in the back of a decent run of result in the conference qualifiers. I understand that my local club and the villa are worlds apart in terms of resources but I believe we could use it in a similar fashion if we are lucky and use it as a stepping stone to bigger and better things if we play our cards right.
With Chelsea,Liverpool and spurs not the best atm, this is our best chance of Europe we're going to have for a good while. Tney will not accept the positions that theyre in this season. NO gaurantee we'll get this oppurtunity again.
Game at a time guys. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. No easy games to come this season, be confident, yes but we need depth in the squad, no injuries some quality signings and look at that 5-10 position. Love your enthusiasm but feet on the ground stuff needed right now. UTV
I’m getting the feeling from the last few pods John might be getting ahead of himself lol we lost the next couple we could be back 11th, hope I’m wrong! UTV
Yea whilst picking up the bargain buys like Yukinari Sugawara could be a nice cheap buy at RB/RWB he can still grow being only 22 and is attacking minded like Moreno so adds some tactical flexibility. That allows more of the budget on other areas of the pitch like up top to work with Watkins whomever that be like Firmino on a free Tammy or some other player
All our podcasters are working overtime, keep it coming guys.
It’s an excellent time at the moment!
Loving all the content we are getting, guys, we are spoiled for the villa's form and your content at the moment UTV
Nice analysis and insight guys. Keep up the quality podcasts... UTV

3-4 next level players is all Villa need

I second that Alan. 1 step at a time... UTV
Signings: Joao Felix Jota from Celtic, Kondogbia, Romain Faivre from Lyon and Greaves from Hull. Then trust Emery.
We need a back up keeper. If anything happens to Martinez I have no confidence in our No2
Definitely is a big window for window. Not sure we'll get Europe this season but next year we should.
When's the new North Stand being constructed?

If a player doesn't want to do what a manager requires then ship him out. Football is a team game!
"How we keep the Villa thrashing"
I see 6 as being very achievable
Whatever it may be UTV🦁😁
Really strange pod. 5 ideas, but no suggestions as to HOW to accomplish the 5.
We’ll leave the details to Unai
1st UTV
That's rhe thickest 🎤 I've ever seen.
Thank you.
Recruitment and Europe are hand in hand. We get Europe, we attract a better level of player
Which players are on the list
