I’m not even bothered. We’re signing top talents like prime Manchester City. At this point, just sit back and enjoy the project.

Really feel for Villa. You win the Europa league, you gain entry for the champions league, you keep hold of an elite manager but the rules are there to stifle these clubs. Every single rule is set up to ensure the status quo remains and I think we will see that back to normal this season with the so called big 6. Sucks!

Konsa at Arsenal? 👀 That’s a very serious defensive signing. Premier League proven, versatile, composed on the ball and entering his prime. If Arteta gets him, Arsenal’s defence just got even harder to break down.
