We have qualified for the CL.

It’d be great to have Rashford back. 

That would be nice.

The great thing is that we are in the Champions League and no one is surprised by that, it's almost as if the press and other fans expect us to be there. This is how seismically Unai has moved the Club. Now is the time to keep our best and sign 3 £50M plus players in their mid 20's to  move on upwards.

Do we think the qualification has given us capacity to sign quality players for £150m or to back fill the overspend from previous years breaches?

I'm not waiting 96 pages for it.

Mashiters unique passive aggressive coverage strikes again.

How overperforming Villa returned to Champions League

Lots of stats involving teams who are midtable and curiously Forest, who are shit and we destroyed. They're not relevant to us, we are a top 5 side who play in a specific way and Emery gets the side set up to get the players in the most optimal position for them to use their talents.

Stats are nice but don't tell the full story. Hence why Chelsea, who statistically are valued hundreds of millions of pounds more than our side finish below us again.
