Moussa Diaby swaps UCL for SAUDI ARABIA & Joao Felix to Aston Villa!? The Villa Filler Podcast 

Duran was not going to get the game time he wanted, in a way I can't blame him, he was always going to have limited time behind Watkins, any player with ambition would want to play more.

good balanced appraisal of the Diaby and Duran situations. thanks for the adult perspective. i'm really tired of the whinging by so many Villa fans. We as fans need to evolve with the club as it strives to reach elite level. a class operation should have a class fanbase. UTV

Diaby always felt like he didn’t quite have the commitment Emery demands. Very talented but think him taking the Saudi money speaks volumes. Easy life earning big money

I could not agreed more with you ❤ João s class! Please sign him🙏

I'm quite happy with the sale, ultimately he was ok, some very good moments, many underwhelming moments, and he ended the season with similar numbers (in the league) to Traore's in his first season. Realistically he wouldn't have made our best 11, so selling him for thst sort of money (and a profit) makes perfect sense. Good luck ti him

Don’t expect loyalty from any player these days. At the end of the day it’s just their line of business. 💯

Sad that Diaby feels that the Saudi Pro is well above Premier/CL involvement at his time of his career. Good luck to him. Yes the money is monstrous. Good deal for Villa.

I’m clicking the like button based purely on the intro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yesss 36 mins 🔥

Diaby ended up having to fill Emi Buendia's position and I don't think that was the plan that he was sold on

Duran needs a better agent. However, more game time might well help him get his move to the top if he is good enough. So, thanks for the memories, and good luck 👍

Master of whispers 😮😂

Duran's tortured mind, he's a child that's had an 18 month tantrum. Think that's a harsh depiction. He's young and maybe lacks the professionalism of some other players his age. But I like that he is him and not this predictable player both on and off the pitch which is what most players are becoming (boring players). But as you mentioned I don't think his representatives are the most professional or have his best interests at heart. He should have had more minutes, as the game was won in many games but emry just didn't rest Watkins.

Some weird comments here. Because Duran comes off the bench he’s going to be in the top 1% of goals? How come none of our other subs are then? Or anyone’s else’s subs?

I'd love Duran and Diaby to be replaced by Ferran Torres and Joao Felix. Maybe Beier instead of Torres or why not get in all 3. We'd definitely have cover for Watkins then.

i have more time for Duran nightmare or not moving because he wants to play football not sit on the bench, then Diarby going to play in a league the main point of which is to try to sports wash the blood of the hands of the murderous war criminals who own it

Exciting times

Luigi out Felix can find his form somewhere else

Alvarez 9 ✔️

Let's see how Diaby does in his first season in Saudi. And i guess everyone is just tired of Duran now and just want him away from AV 💜💙

£400,000 a week Holy shit!😅🤣

Am I the only one that doesnt want him? kid is a waster lol scored double figures once, never hit more than 9 assists and that was back in '15, bounces around clubs. Simeone said he doesnt even track back “He was always talented, (but) it is difficult for him to run meters back,” fuck no! difficult for a 24 year old to run?

It's Bentaka 2.0

When are we going to stop messing and get joao

you hit the nail on the head he,s a child ,,miggins comments where in jest but obviously very true ,so now West Ham is the club for him ! if it was Chelsea I get it but they had second thoughts , so now its West Ham cmon !!!! anyway get him gone and bank the dough 🙂

Don't want Felix, he's pure ego, there's a reason why it has not worked for him

Proffer ezi than felex utv

Chaps come on move on He is disturbed

He is a loose cannon chaps

Joa Felix looks like a moaner, if he comes to Villa I think he'll end up being a pain in the ass if things don't go his way. Not many people have anything good to say about him

Go for Almo then Felix
