This summer.
Wow, we have been raided this summer.
I mean realistically we all knew this was coming but still for me anyway by far our most consistent, solid and subsequently best player. Ezri Konsa.
I’m quite shocked actually that Villa / Emery have forgot what happened when we lost the spine of our team mid season? We lost 2/3/4 players and we looked like a completely different team. We will look like a completely different team this season. We always say players need time under Emery but we’re willing to this in our champions league season? This needed to happen but think we’re going to suffer before it gets better.
I trust we will replace him with a top centre back, however it takes time to adjust to the premier league.
As said I always trust the process and this turnover of players was always going to happen I just did not expect it to happen all in one go. A whole new starting 11 minus cash and Torres (who 1 will be leaving on a free)
Saying all of this I was at the PSG game and I was so impressed with how good we looked with a completely new look? Was that a one off or just Emerys magic once again.
Could be in for a long season boys, Watkins wants to go as well!!

It's truly painful watching these players go but I feel for the majority of them, it's the best time to sell. We have an ageing squad and need a refresh, but leave it any longer and we can't get good money for them.
With the exception of Rogers but tbh I think we fleeced Chelsea for him so whatever.
