@LoadsamoneyFC An also-ran is a participant in a competition, race, or election who fails to win or place in the top positions - and Spurs aren't this?
And since Villa are currently Europa league Champions it describes Spurs better.

Still surprised Aston Villa fanbase has meekly reacted to Digne and Rogers leaving for bigger, better clubs but when Spurs signed a Newcastle player, they did their shit
The definition of an also ran club

@nermilicious @jmoors @BSRobsonNE Johan Manzambi takes Rogers position. Joao Gomez for Tielemans. Rogers money to be reinvested in 1 or 2 more attacking players. Villa will be stronger for this in the mid to long term.
English
Tonali & Gordon.
Tielemans & Rogers.
Newcastle United & Aston Villa - two fantastic English football clubs who are being utterly screwed over by the disgraceful modern financial rules.
This isn’t sport. This isn’t FAIR.

🚨🔵 BREAKING: MORGAN ROGERS TO CHELSEA, HERE WE GO! Club to club agreement reached today with Aston Villa to anticipate Arsenal official bid. £117m proposal has been accepted, as @David_Ornstein reported. Agreement done with Morgan Rogers on personal terms until June 2032. 🫱🏻🫲🏼

@jmoors @BSRobsonNE They are great investment but who would they get that would keep them at the same level as they were ? Newcastle had a horrible season and now they got an Ajax midfielder top 10 maybe ??? Aston villa has champions league losing two starters and not replacing them is bad business
English
@Gabbry_29 @WelBeast There's a 45 day cooling off period between clubs selling to each other or it's considered a swap and Villa lose part of the Rogers money. 45 days would be after the window closes.
English
I see why Chelsea happily paid the £117M for Morgan Rodgers. They probably have an agreement with Villa to get all of it back by selling two of their players to Villa at inflated prices as well. If this isn’t cheating between these two clubs then I don’t know what it is.

🚨🟣🔵 Nicolas Jackson among names discussed between Aston Villa and Chelsea during contacts over last 24h. Unai Emery loves Jackson since they used to work together at Villarreal + was also a target last summer.

@LoveMcGrathpod I've always considered Summerville to be inconsistent but West Ham were crap so that probably clouds my judgement.
English
Instead of me convincing you all of Crysencio Summerville, since I can’t do a podcast on him today as I’m enjoying the gift of the game of hurling.
Pop your thoughts on him in a thread below 😀 be as argumentative as you like 😀🧵🧵
English
@LoveMcGrathpod Scouting the hurling? Maybe Emery will put a bid in for Aaron Gillane
English
@TyBracey @J_Tanswell We need 2 attacking players. Mbaye being one hopefully. MGW is too expensive if we want 2 signings.
English
Good morning Villans!
Now that we’ve had some time to digest the news of Morgan Rogers going to Chelsea and confirmation from @J_Tanswell that Manzambi is his replacement.
But who would you like to see us further strengthen our attack with?
Let me know your thoughts ⬇️

Bookmark all these Aston Villa posts cos about Morgan Rogers cos we’re gonna be collecting a lot of tears 😭

Manzanbi is more proven than Rogers was when we signed him. Manzanbi has done it in the Bundesliga and Europa League and dod very well at the World Cup.#avfc

@sparkym5 @J_Tanswell @avfc_david @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC Mark, we're up to our neck in financial restrictions and the 2nd oldest squad in the league. A squad rebuild was coming. Have faith.
English
@J_Tanswell @avfc_david @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC Once again Aston Villa hit the glass ceiling and fall down taking the money thought we'd move on from the Doug Ellis days. We could've built a title team around that lad, gutted.

New: Chelsea reach verbal agreement to sign Morgan Rogers from #AVFC. An offer of £117million has been accepted, with personal terms in place on a six-year contract.
@David_Ornstein for @TheAthleticFC

@AbsoluteChelsea @TeleFootball We can't sign him if Chelsea sign Rogers. UEFA sanctions

Aston Villa retain an interest in #Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson.

The deal for Morgan Rogers was negotiated directly between Behdad Eghbali and Aston Villa co-owner Nassef Sawiris. Xabi Alonso also played a significant role in the sales pitch. [via @TeleFootball] telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

There was much confusion as to how Aston Villa could afford Manzambi & Gomes last week given their financial situation. There’s the answer…

@marshallavfc Unai actually has money to spend. I can't believe it. Christ I hope we sign Mbaye

We sold Grealish and won a European trophy 5 years later. Trust the process if we had Emery at that time it proberbly would of took 3 years #avfc
English
@CraigSmethers @FabrizioRomano Well none of what you just said being correct is a good start.
English
@FabrizioRomano HOW CAN VILLA AFFORD ALL THIS, revenue of about a tenner, wage% through the roof.
English
🚨🟣🔵 Understand Aston Villa have agreed personal terms with Pervis Estupiñán who wants the move to #AVFC.
Negotiations continue with AC Milan to agree on the fee as Unai Emery wants Pervis as replacement for Lucas Digne.
English
Buckle up. Let’s see how much they’re willing to pay 👀

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal are now set to accelerate on Morgan Rogers deal, top target as new winger as always mentioned. Talks already advanced on player side and separate case from Tzolis, #AFC always wanted both. No talks for Barcola so far; focus on Rogers.
