Ezri Consa confessed that Aston Villa was “killed” due to the transfer period. Consa even admitted that he couldn’t stand watching the deadline unfold on television, as he didn’t want to see him being disassembled. Villa was forced to sell their country’s talent for £50 million to Newcastle to balance the book, depending on Premier League profits and sustainability rules, as well as UEFA’s stricter team cost ratio.
They managed to secure Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho on loans during the season, but Emiliano Martinez ultimately stayed after attempting to move to Manchester United, marking a chaotic ending in the transfer window. The issue of Villa boss Unai Emery escalated due to the disastrous start of the season, with only one point secured without scoring one goal from the first three games.
The villa defender, Consana, said: “Yeah, it’s crazy. I don’t understand it myself, but it doesn’t look very good because I look outside. I know that.
“We have to deal with what we have now. As I say, we have a great team, I believe in our managers. I believe in our managers.
