    As a villa fan its a shame he didn't hit the heights we were expecting him to hit and although he wasn't always played in his preferred position, he did have alot of chances to show his ability but didn't take his chances like Bailey had, n the pressure seemed to of got the better of him, instead of using the pressure to kick on, if a player wants to go n ain't fully with the team then it's best he goes, great bit of buissness for us and can now focus on other areas, it also shows if your not with us unai won't waste time keeping an unhappy player around no matter the price tag and will do what's best for the team, I wish him well on his new adventure but life goes on...

      I'm glad he's gone, he wasn't that good, let's face it. I think the Premier League was a step too far for him, so he'll be more suited to the Saudi league. And rumours are that he wasn't that well liked by most of the Villa players either. We need to reinvest the cash in top drawer CB or RB. And if Duran goes, we need to aquire another striker as back up for Ollie.

    As usual, ignorance prevails in the Western media when talking about the Saudi League. Firstly, good players do not necessarily only come from the Premier League. There are many excellent players who moved to Saudi Arabia from other leagues. Secondly, most of the foreign players who moved to Saudi Arabia last season were under 30 years old, and finally, Al-Ahly wanted to get rid of Maximand, not the player who wanted to leave the club. Al-Ahly also wants to get rid of Demiral and Freminho because they want to sign other players and they are focused on signing with Lookman from Atalanta. As for Henderson, the best thing that happened to Al-Ettifaq Club was the exit of this player because after Getting rid of him, the club was able to sign three foreign players, such as Fofana, and the team’s level improved greatly after Henderson’s departure.

    Good biz for all parties. Diaby and his family have an interest in being in Saudi Arabia for religious reasons. And will be reunited with French compatriots.

      For much of the season Aston Villa's points-per-game was right up there with Arsenal and Man City. But missing the cover of those experienced players at the end of the season, made Villa drop down towards Spurs. That shouldn't happen this season with the extra squad depth.

      Glad he's going to be honest. Expected a lot more from him, but he's a timid player on the pitch who, even when he scores or assists, doesn't redeem himself from an often dismal performance. Him leaving the club just tells me that he lacks ambition and gave the Premier League a go, only to find out he can't cut it 🤷‍♂ I'm sure he'd have had a better season this time round and I almost always give players the benefit of the doubt in their first season, but what else am I/the Villa fans supposed to make of this, leaving after one season? I'll happily take the money with hope that we can buy better.

      If you assume the ASM deal to be low take ot up with Newcastles Saudi owners. Perhaps you should call for investigion of a fee where a Saudi club benefited from having having insiders in a PL club that could sell them players below market value - though to me that fee was about right - player value is not determined solely on player ability.
