Salah signs a new contract.
Salah signs a new contract.
I have mixed feelings on that, without doubt he’s been their best player this season to the point that without him they’d be in a dogfight for top 4/5 and not on the way to their first title in five years.
But he’s not getting younger and him staying means they won’t be bringing many new players through the door
Doubly so if Van Dijk (who has got away with murder this season) signs on as well.
I honestly believe that without injuries/squad mismanagement call it what you will we’d be champions and not them, that’s even taking into consideration the shocking refereeing we’ve endured
If I’m being generous, I think Hungarian copy and paste has been very good this season as well and whilst it’s too soon to say if he’s better than Odegaard he certainly has been this season.

This is a real positive in the sense he's not one of the greedy ones taking the Saudi cash and wants to play real football - he obviously feels he's got another season or two in him, however I wouldn't be surprised to see him slowing down a bit, I can't believe (famous last words here) he can be as good again next season but he only has to be half as good to earn his place, especially when they'll likely have other rebuilding to do
I'm sure Liverpool fans will be pleased about Salah. The rest of us have to hope that this season was his high water mark and that he won't destroy our domestic season again. His second half of this season wasn't like his first. Will age catch up with him?.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I thought this was interesting.
He really knows what he’s talking about!
When I saw Watkins wasn't starting vs Citeh I wondereed if it was another example of Emery's inability to handle top players and this is more proof

Bit of a stretch to be calling Ollie Watkins a top player, not even the best player at Villa
Although yes when it comes to actual top players, Emery can struggle. He struggled with Neymar at PSG and Ozil
Ozil was a cunt though, a player so immensely talented (him and Bergkamp were the most naturally gifted players to play for us in terms of technical ability) but appalling attitude. Wenger let him get away with what he wanted but invariably that will lead to bad feeling in the dressing room.
Don’t get me wrong I can understand where Watkins is coming from, he’s approaching 30 and it’s now or never in terms of a move to a big club. I hope we don’t revisit things with him in the summer, there’s only one Villa player I want and it’s not him
I think Watkins movement and off the ball work would make him a suitable player for us however that ship sailed in January. Villa are probably regretting not taking our 60m and we will now sign a younger striker with a higher ceiling in the summer.
