Aston Villa’s Premier League title chances, Youri Tielemans impact and January transfer window

Aston Villa’s Premier League title chances, Youri Tielemans impact and January transfer window

This evening, Aston Villa plays Zrinjski Mostar to wrap up their Europa Conference League group stage campaign.

If they win in Bosnia, they will advance to the round of 16.

Due to the two-leg round of 16 matchup being in March,

Villa will have some time following the start of the January transfer window to focus on Premier League play.

After defeating Man City and Arsenal,

the two teams from the previous season, at Villa Park last week,

Unai Emery’s team is currently in third place.

John Townley, an Aston Villa reporter, conducts his weekly Villa fans’ forum here,

where he covers all the major stories with a focus on the January window.

The complete transcript is provided below,

and you may use the comments section to discuss anything and anything related to transfers and Villa.

VFL: Hi John. How do you feel about us placing in the top 4? My only concern is the number of games we’ll play;

an injury to Ollie, for example, would undoubtedly cause a stir.

Hello, buddy. It’s a top four/five.

I’m certain that Villa has what it takes after their victories over City and Arsenal.

You’re right, though; there may be issues with the ECL knockouts the next year.

That’s why finishing first in the group is crucial,

as Villa will only have Premier League football to worry about for a few months.

They presently sit among the top five with an eight-point lead.

There’s no reason why they can’t compete for the top five and hardware at the end of the season if they build on it in the upcoming weeks.

villa442: I was blown away by Villa’s performance vs MC! I have never witnessed Villa so thoroughly dominate a team! My second concern is that Zaniolo does not appear to be getting better,

therefore we should get rid of him as soon as possible.

My final point of view is regarding the transfers that we need to make in January in order to keep our chances of finishing in the top 4, let alone competing for a better spot.

We appear to have a playmaker and a finisher,

therefore we should be quietly and deftly ahead of other Premier League teams! UTV

Hi my friend! Indeed, it was remarkable,

wasn’t it? I believe it’s likely the best live performance I’ve ever seen of Villa.

Although I haven’t had the opportunity to watch the greatest Villa teams in my life,

their victory over City at the start of the year was difficult to beat.

There may have been four! The result definitely made City feel pampered.

I don’t think we should have high expectations for Zaniolo.

A loan player, he has struggled with injuries in recent years and was naturally involved in the Italian bettering scandal. He seems like a player to me.

The challenge that few instructors have successfully completed is extracting that.

He has a role to play, so I won’t be advocating for his return to Gala or anything similar.

He will be helpful when Emery makes roster changes in March when Villa resume ECL play,

should they win their group.

I believe a few additions would be quite appreciated.

Can Villa bolster a roster that appears to be strong already with Ramsey and Moreno back?

Considering how much it would cost to get a star player, nothing significant was anticipated.

The ideal window for Villa to bolster their starting lineup is always the summer one.

Sultanofunai John, good morning. Has Unai clarified why the team cannot outplay opponents when playing away from home, as that is the one thing that could prevent us from winning the championship?

And any rumours about a transfer? When will we return for Tammy?

Good morning, friend! Emery has stated that he is still figuring out how to split his team’s playing time between home and away.

Considering that Villa has played Newcastle, Liverpool,

Chelsea, Tottenham, and a hot Bournemouth, I don’t think the results they have had away are too concerning.

But Emery has to do better, and that is his responsibility.

In addition, the players have stated that they are still searching for the ideal setup to perform well away from home, much like they do at Villa Park. Although Villa may not be playing at their best on the road,

I still fancy them to secure results at Brentford and United, two difficult venues where few teams win. In the upcoming weeks, Burnley and Sheffield United will also play at home;

can’t they just keep up their winning streak at home? When the window opens,

I’ll have more clarity on transfers. Let’s wait and see what happens for the moment;

I’m sure Monchi is flipping through his notes.

Given the expense, I wouldn’t anticipate making any significant additions until halfway through the season.

trinityroad: Youri Tielemans displaying some form is encouraging.

The supporters used to chastise him not too long ago.

I completely agree; he’s been outstanding lately.

Tielemans is a player that need some time to adjust to Emery’s system, but it seems like he has done so now.

Though he plays a variety of parts, Emery always brings out the best in him. Don’t forget to sign for free! The recruitment team of the club was thrilled to emerge victorious in the competition for his signature in the summer.

SelectedIn1957: We will be commemorating the 150th anniversary of our historic establishment in a few days. Involving the fans in this celebration and ideas for a long-term memorial would be ideal.

The famous Holte bar is a part of that heritage and a structure that has stood since we relocated to Villa Park from Perry Barr.

On the other hand, we’ve observed that the Witton Arms renovation has been a huge success and a credit to all parties involved.

We had learned from this website that NSWE was considering developing the Holte to restore it to its former splendour and popularity.

Although Randy Learner recognised the significance of this chapter in our history,

his impact has since diminished from what he initially committed to.Do you have any updates on this matter,

or do you have any intentions to turn this year of celebration into yet another unforgettable chapter in our history?
