Champions.

If we are the Champions, can we play Queen after the final whistle?

Post by: paul_e on August 10, 2025, 12:05:42 PM: 4th or 5th I think. We're a stronger squad now than 12months ago and I don't think the loss of Rashford and Asensio will have as much impact as people think. Another defender in and I think we're pretty much where we need to be, especially if Emery has decided to give Buendia and Iling-Junior a chance. Even not getting that extra defender wouldn't be the end of the world because Bogarde has looked very good in pre-season.

Post by: TaxDodger on August 10, 2025, 12:20:22 PM: I think if we can get another defender in and potentially ship out 3 squad players and replace them with Asensio or someone of his ilk then we're in a good position. I'll say 6th though.

Title: Re: Where will Villa finish 2025/26
Post by: PaulWinch again on August 10, 2025, 03:01:00 PM: 7th, but we got a centre-back and Asensio back I reckon top 5 is doable.

Title: Re: Where will Villa finish 2025/26
Post by: IFWaters on August 10, 2025, 03:54:28 PM: 4th and EL winners.Assuming we don't lose any first teams. Think we will see the benefit of a stable squad who know what they're about, have the experience of CL last year and can pace themselves for the season. I think with our easy start we could surprise everyone with 20+ points in the first 10 games. Think we will probably finish with a couple of loanees in and possibly a surprise signing (Denzel Dumfries at RB) and have a squad capable of league and Europe.

The media have written us off already and I think that will work in our favour.

Post by: aj2k77 on August 10, 2025, 04:40:13 PM: I think 8th/9th too. Things are a little stale.

Post by: aj2k77 on August 10, 2025, 05:07:27 PM: Unless Unai pulls another master stroke I just think the opposition know our strengths and weaknesses too well now and their isn't any change up really in team or formation. We have good players, but so do a lot of other teams. I think we should fully target the Europa as a cheat code in to the Champions League and a trophy.
