Onana is 6'5, Illing 6', Enzo 6'1, Nedeljkovic 6'1, Barkley is 6'2, Rogers 6'3, our team is getting taller.

[@batuksri]

Ready for Newcastle.

[@athreyathandeswaran7510]

Gonna add a CB and RB as well.

[@kirktongue6544]

Subscribe all villa fans come on lets get these numbers up pete deserves it his info is top class

[@traceyjohnson8552]

Vancouver Island is amazing. Had the pleasure off touring Canada for 3 weeks. I loved every second of Canada

[@aaronlewis8478]

I didn't realize until now, just how much I've missed hearing you say "Up The Mighty Villa". To the next chapter, Come On You Villa Boys!!

[@amlmorris]

Onana is a midfield monster & his attributes are exactly what we need at Villa,great news & we're beefing up our squad for the upcoming very important season.... up the mighty Villa!!! 😊

[@Efcdan1878]

He has all the attributes.... getting him to run hard and show his talent has been a struggle,.he wasn't first choice towards the back end of last season says it all

[@ahblezasellars]

Been waiting for this one!!!!!!! Not gonna lie, after that “Andre’s not even my name” clip, I can literally can hear people in the stands singing a twist on the Rihanna tune, “Oh Nana, what’s his name? ONana, what’s his name!”

[@darcy4sky]

Absolutely brilliant show Pete, great to see you back!🎉.UTV.

[@cureit9161]

Great summing up Pete, and that Juve link, wow! UTV

[@John-bo4po]

Great show Pete. Thanks for doing what you do. UTMV !

[@VillaBravesGaming]

Another quality update Pete. I'm excited to see how we continue to shape up for the new season. As you said, in Monchi we have a real quality member of the team and he's certainly going about business in a positive way. Really looking forward to how Enzo fits in and adapts. Along with Onana (hopefully announced soon!), those two could be very shrewd business indeed. I'm sure there are plenty more twists and turns before the season kicks off. UTMV!

[@sps7868]

Great show Pete. Love the insight. We are really building something special!! On behalf of the seven Villa fans in Trinidad & Tobago (wife and kids make up five), thanks for the Trinidad reference.

[@jamessmith839]

What we're gonna have when the season starts is success, I just feel it this is gonna be a season of beautiful dreams for villa history making season come on boys 🦁 🦁

[@stewartluscott-evans2216]

Welcome back Pete! After weeks of frustration watching Harry Kane wandering around the centre circle it’s great to know real football is coming back! Up The Villa!

[@erynpimentel915]

Vancouver is an incredible city, never been to Victoria but it seems like such a historic remnant of the British empire. Speaking of empires, may Emery’s Villa continue its amazing march this season!

[@kirktongue6544]

Yesss petes back with the holy trinity iv been waiting for this.utv

[@derekhollis197]

Great to see you again Pete, means the season is getting closer. Got my tickets for the Bilbao match yesterday

[@stephenevans6861]

Great to hear your posts again Pete. Your summer break environment looks great.

[@davehooper5115]

Great video Pete, been a big void since the season ended, so I am so glad you are back, exciting times ahead, and even for the ladies team which i also love watching too

[@davidparslow438]

Brilliant as always Pete - you should be on 50K+ subs - come on Villa fans!

[@verytiredatdoingthis]

Great Video Pete! I think by the end of this window our height will be a weapon and not a liability. A lot of our signings have flexibility in positional play and tick a lot of boxes playing in the EPL. I feel Diaby lacked the physicality of playing in traffic in the middle (no.10 role) and defensively a liability. There is better players for the type of money he cost. A block buster signing or two still coming I feel if we can get Diaby and Duran sold for decent money. But already a great transfer window. Looking forward to your next one Pete!

[@MojoStone]

Good to have you back fella .. giant of a team , both off the pitch and NOW on the pitch .. i'll let you work out the average height gain !! - keep well #utmv

[@JP76-UTV]

Brilliant summary

[@stephenbell8349]

How about this "2nd side" Gauchi, Digne, Mings, Carlos, Nedeljkovic, Barrenechea, Barkley, Illing jr, Philogene, Buendia, and Rogers up front?

[@rubp3088]

Great video as always. Not sure how you concluded Hull lost money on the Jaden deal. Either they get 18mio from Ipswich and 30% of it go to Villa or they get the net amount directly from Villa. It’s the same amount in the end. All in all, Hull made about 7,5 mio profit for showcasing the player for 1 season while benefiting from his service. That’s a great deal.

[@darrenwoolley8433]

Great show Pete good to see you back. UTV

[@cestmoi7829]

Welcome back 🤩

[@beezergutler5488]

10:30 Hull didn’t lose money on the deal. They signed him for £5m and we retained a matching clause and sell on clause. Everton and Ipswich offered £18m, we offered the same. Whoever signed him, £5m was owed to Villa as a sell on. So by Villa signing him back, the £5m is owed back to us which would just be deducted from Jade’s fee. Hull made a tidy £8m on him, as they would’ve had either of the other two clubs signed him.

[@paulharrisharris5761]

Thanks Pete, great show 🙂⚽️

[@colinhemming-xr4hj]

It was clear Diaby wasn't happy being a bench warmer, keeping players happy might be a problem, great video Pete

[@MarkGazee]

PETE IS BACK 💜💙 UTV

[@higdog]

Let’s goooooo! 👊🏼

[@Barry2Lyn7donbarry2]

Great show Pete, thankyou

[@michellemaynard6808]

UTV and UP THE PETE 💜💙💜

[@duncankilburn7612]

Need 1 or 2 more big talisman signings in and we're sorted for this summer, perhaps another GK. Chiesa & Felix would do nicely.

[@joederoeper2156]

Azzi agnelli is a great pal of mine. Shout out!

[@paulboudreau7254]

Great show, Pete. I know you're a long way away but, was wondering if you're heading out to any of the three USA matches?

[@britishmick]

Don’t think Diaby has the physicality for the Prem, so an easier ride for a bigger wage in a predominantly Muslim country (as he is Muslim so why not right?) doesn’t seem so unbelievable!.

[@justinhollenbeck8447]

Ideal window: Outs: Chambers, Luis, Duran, Kellyman, Iroegbunam, Diaby, Cash, one of the older left backs (Digne or Moreno), Olsen, Hause, Carlos, Archer. Ins: Maatsen, Barranechea, Illing Junior, Barkley, better back up goalkeeper, Onana, Philogene, Beier, Hermoso, upgrade on Cash.

[@TimLemonn]

Why Cash? I rate him as a decent squad player/able to do a job starting, and now he is getting international experience he’ll bring more to his game and the squad

[@justinhollenbeck8447]

I agree. But like Pete says, he is not quite at Champions League level. If Nedelkjovic can step up and we sign a Champions League RB, then we can get him off the books. I certainly wouldn’t be upset if he stays.

[@thecovertnarcissist9437]

Michael Kayode to Villa. (Right back) 19GBP. Kosta will slot in to our squad and play a part. Cash had his moments but that's not it. There are levels. Philogene back to Villa makes me very happy. All new players are good additions. Nice window. The right back issue isn't new news. Since Kenny Swain it's been an issue. That is ridiculous in terms of time.

[@stuartchadwick5940]

Where did you get $12m for Lehman from, Pete? The world record fee for a woman is around £750k.

[@geoffheath4662]

You lucky devil…Vancouver island what a fabulous place.

[@amlmorris]

I'm not sure about the report of Alisha Lehmann's move to Juventus netting Villa $12 million,as i understand it would be a world record for women's football & i don't see it myself unless it was done too make up for Douglas Luiz moving for less than what was expected?..... up the mighty Villa!!! 😊

[@brettmiffling7306]

This squad that we are starting to put together is starting to look really good!! You can see that every department that needed some improvements last season is bit by bit being addressed with the calibre of players we are bringing in!! We are not only bringing down the squads average age, but we are also bringing in players with some height "which we certainly needed" if you put together our best 11 not only have we got numerous options but whatever first 11 unai puts out it's one hell of a team!! GK. MARTINEZ/OLSEN LB. MAATSEN/DIGNE/MORENO RB. CASH/NEDJELKAVIC CB. KONSA/CARLOS CB. TORRES/MINGS DM. KAMARA/ONANA/BARRENACHEA CM. MCGINN/TEILEMANS/BARKLEY LM. RODGERS/ILLING-JUNIOR RM. BAILEY/BUENDIA/PHILOGENE & *DIABY* SOON TO BE SOLD.. FW. WATKINS/DURAN/DOBBIN/ARCHER/BARRY FIRST 11 GK MARTINEZ LB. MAATSEN CB. KONSA CB. TORRES RB. CASH DM. ONANA CM. MCGINN LW. RODGERS RW. BAILEY AM. BARKLEY FW. WATKINS RB.

[@maplin007]

£50m for a youngster, a lot if you plan to sit him on the bench a lot ? Kamara and the young Argie lad all vying for that spot? Can’t wait to see what Unai has in mind. Onana the new Viera anyone?

[@Efcdan1878]

He has the attributes to be a dominating presence but I don't think he has the mentality of Viera and he goes down far too easy for a big lad ...he needs to improve on that.

[@maplin007]

@@Efcdan1878 Thanks mate was more in hope 👍

[@leecollison8795]

We got Walsall Wednesday 😅

[@scottbabb5891]

In all honestly I don’t think I can see mcginn ever leaving

[@keithgodfrey2023]

Great so far just hope sell Duran for tony

[@OisinMcCole]

Barkley is only 30! I can see him playing for another two years

[@squedybob3711]

Hi I'm new

[@TrevUk]

Hi

[@denisfarrell164]

Long season,too many England player's looking Jaded.Southgate didn’t use his squad! Emery will not make that mistake with Villa.😊

[@TrevUk]

😊

[@stephenbell8349]

England didn't deserve to win, Spain were the better side, and Southgate is an average manager.

[@darthpaul490]

Average? Cmon mate, he's changed the face and level of England football. From an embarrassment to consistent last four finishing teams. I agree we need someone else now to go further forward but give him his dues, he's elevated us in world football and in the eyes of the nation. 10yrs ago we were a laughing stock now we are expected to go all the way

[@stephenbell8349]

@darthpaul490 He's won nothing. Not played or beaten anyone significant. England have some of the best attacking talent in the world, and Southgate sets up so negatively. Any decent manager would have won something with this squad. Participation trophy for him.

[@britishmick]

Southgate is Southgate, he’s done what he felt best and his record is definitely decent, but with the quality we have we should be playing the same quality attacking football that Spain play, yet we look disjointed and inept.. time for a new approach for me!.

[@Dave68Goliath]

Southgate was a coward. He should have had the balls to drop Kane, Rice, Foden.

[@derekhollis197]

Great to see you giving the Women’s side of things a mention, and hope this becomes a more regular feature. But really, €12 million for Lehmann, WOW!!

[@stuartchadwick5940]

I don't know how that can be right, the world record transfer for a woman is less than £1m.

[@keithgodfrey2023]

Duran for tony and we are real on the way ,

[@martinhallback5815]

UTV

[@lrye-xyz]

Why sell Luiz for 46 million for FFP and then buy Onana 50 million????

[@NeilNoble-z7e]

The Luiz deal counts at £60m ! £42m cash plus two players at £18m. We're £10m in credit.

[@davidreeves1587]

No the total deal is £42m not £60m. ​@user-cv5jz8bd5c

[@ianmoore004]

Cash in before 30th June was key to meeting PSR. Onana spend only counts in 2024/25 financial year when we have significant revenue streams e.g. Addidas to still meet PSR UTV

[@christianc.2664]

Because we had to sell before July 1st or face penalties. Luiz was sold and now we can spend again. Stupid rules but it is what it is.

[@ricclark8162]

i really like your podcast and thanks for doing it but could you mention the torture, murder, kidnap war crimes... when we talk about the Saudi using starvation as a weapon of war league , or we are just complicate in the sports washing of an evil regime , thanks :)

[@gavincunningham4598]

Onana isn't that good

[@derekhollis197]
