What they're saying
"

Mike: There's real talent and huge potential in this new group of players and I'm genuinely excited to see how Unai Emery moulds them into a team of his own design. Last season we learned how a slow start doesn't necessarily mean a poor season and it's clear that our manager will get more out of these players than they themselves knew they were capable of. Rob: Despite others being negative about Villa's transfers I'm actually quite excited by it.
