Was he not aware that our club is so much better than everyone else and we're well respected in the community unlike those horrible nasty clubs with money?

GenerationA47 864 Posted June 14, 2021 Has any signing anywhere ever not gushed about a combination of the new club’s ambition, squad, fans, stadium, facilities, glorious history? Suspect it means as little (or as much) when they do it here as when they do it at their next club. Other than that it makes us feel good for a bit, and that it might actually be a bit odd if they didn’t have something positive prepared for when they’re inevitably asked. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenerationA47 864 Posted June 14, 2021 To be fair, alternatively, he could have praised their generous pay and rewards structure, which would be truthful but not go down too well. Or their recent footballing successes and trophies... which would be both unpopular and untrue. ‘Ambition’ feels about right for the situation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,193 Posted June 14, 2021 We have zero ambition beyond looking good and being respected in the community. Those are not bad in themselves but really need to be matched on the pitch, which, to me seems to be more and more becoming secondary by the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Fred 526 Posted June 14, 2021 We all know our club has zero ambition and won’t have under the current ownership why would any player with ambition to win a big trophy ever stay or join us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,328 Posted June 14, 2021 Well... I think he is more likely to pinch a domestic cup and sneak into European competition at Villa than he is at Norwich. What else could he achieve here? Realistically? How many more times does he want to win the second tier? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,193 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Ps C.I.D.. why don't you go follow Crewe or Wycombe? Being top 26 would be a real achievement for them and you..🤪 Edited June 14, 2021 by Kenny Foggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
22jtp 0 Posted June 14, 2021 I love Emi, and he is clearly a better player today than he was two seasons ago, but we saw how he played at the Premier League level in 2019-2020. One goal and seven assists in 36 appearances. All this talk of "ambition" is just talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
