What they Said
"We were busy in the transfer window, and now we are on Friday, still three days until Monday. I am not expecting a big surprise in the transfer window, and how we are now, I am happy.
โGeorge Hemmings had experiences & he must learn. He played well, itโs not enough yet, but happy how he helped us.
โImpact of Jamal was fantastic & with Kadan.
โWe will continue to develop them & hopefully they will become players for us in 11 we have.โ
"Jamal, after he played yesterday, maybe he is going out on loan. We spoke this morning about playing with consistency in the last four months of the season at another club, continuing his process. This is the plan for him.โ
Unai Emery, pre-match.
โI just wanted to come back here because I had five great years here. Iโve had one and a half years, which have been very difficult, after I left Aston Villa.โ
Douglas Luiz
โI canโt describe the feeling, itโs amazing to be back. Iโve missed this place a lot, I genuinely did. The fans have been so welcoming, players, staff, everybody. Iโm really grateful and happy to be back.
โIt felt like I was back at home. Right back into the system & style of play Iโm so used to.
"Very determined. Last season wasnโt the best & the fans deserve to see back Leon Bailey, who was on fire for them in 2023/24.
โIโm motivated, confident, I feel good."
Leon Bailey.
"I want to send my best wishes to Kamara, McGinn and Tielemans. Three great men who are part of our deep core, a key part of our culture. We are aware their injuries are coming not only by chance but also because of the courage they did.
Unai Emery on Villaโs missing leaders.
"I think it is something really fantastic for the club that the young players did so well [on Thursday]. We shared with our supporters as well, how important the academy is and how important the young players are for us."
Unai Emery on Villaโs future stars.
โI want to welcome again Douglas, Leon, and Tammy. Three great players that came back home to join our extraordinary group, to strengthen our dressing room. It was good to see their commitment and happiness to wear claret and blue again.
"It speaks very well about our club, how players that left are still happy to come back, and its a big positive about the players, as everyone here kept the love and football confidence in them.
Unai Emery on Villaโs returnees.
"The Premier League is the most important competition. As much as we love the Europa League and FA Cup, we know that it remains in the league performance, in every step we take of these 38 chapters, our pathway for our next future."
Unai Emery, pre-match.
