£64 million, up to £85 million with add ons apparently

Yes I do remember £80 mil being mentioned.
Not worth It.

Another great night for Villa. Arsenal looked knackered

Always good to see a club rise and grow - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c2lnl2d87rvo

Can I just direct everyone to the Champions League table this morning?

Have a look at the top, who do you see?

3 games, 3 wins, 3 clean sheets and top of the league

UNAI EMERY'S ASTON VILLA

 

[Arthur Wedge]

It’s nothing but impressive from Villa

Heck of start to the season and Emery continues to show how good a manager he is

Rodgers looks a real star , and Duran - going forward that maybe his biggest challenge - how does he keep him happy and also Watkins - it’s a good dilemma to have

Some clubs will be circling

I dud say it was another great performance. I couldn't think of a more fitting tribute t Shaw if you were to win it. BIG BIG ask but you are playing well enough in the CL

Well he's signed a new deal so he cant be too unhappy overall - he's just hot headed!

In a great place for that too though, Emery flat out ignores the tantrum last night, not even worth his time.

Just signed a deal until 2030 They aint got the cash

Think we all know that signing new deals will just help the price tag and also give a little pay rise

He looks superb but it’s how you get both him and Watkins into the team

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Speaking as a Utd supporter who can remember Utd sitting at the head of the Premier League table earlier on this season.

 

[Bdill93]

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Well, most likely through to the next round already, ill be pretty happy with that. Anything more is a bonus!

That's exactly what it is - but what's he worth to us now? Id say at least 70 million to sell him during this season.

We also don't need to rush him in, he's not the same player Watkins is - he flashes brilliance but does go quiet in games. Got a lot of work ahead of him but there's not many better managers out there to teach him all of this than Emery.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Arsenal can register all the interest they like, it is fairly meaningless. The ball is entirely in Villa's court now, good for them. Come the summer, he either stays, great, or he goes for an obscene amount that funds next years transfers, balance the books etc. Win, win.

Surely playing with Watkins and learning from him will only hope him progress. Emery needs to keep him on a tight reign and while I like to see a player frustrated when subbed this behaviour is not going to help longer term - https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/aston-villa-jhon-duran-sub-emery-b2633989.html

There is no doubt that Chelsea are going to throw £100mil at Villa for him in the summer

Can he play in midfield? . They must be down to their last 38 midfielders, need to bolster the ranks a bit.

Their midfield with Lavia and Caciedo on Sunday was clearly by a stretch their best

Can see why Klopp liked Lavia -there isn’t a place there for £100mil Fernandez

 

[Don Barzini]

Great going by Villa. Pleased for them.

 

[Aztecs27]

A good ole fashioned east mids derby.

Genuinely don't know a single Forest fan that consider Leicester rivals, really. We only hate Derby.

BUT, it IS the Steve Cooper derby, so a lot to play for.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Great finish from Foden
