Newcastle has made a shock transfer approach for Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey. Unai Emery, the Aston Villa manager, expressed his desire to keep Ramsey at the club despite the approach. However, he also mentioned the possibility of selling Ramsey due to financial concerns. Aston Villa suffered a 1-3 defeat against Newcastle, marking their first home league defeat in almost a year. Emery acknowledged the loss and emphasized the need for perspective in evaluating the team's performance.
Unai Emery: "I told you two months ago that when we get to game 32,33,34 maybe we can talk about league positions. But we lost today and we are a little bit frustrated, but no more." #AVFC
Unai Emery reiterates there are seven teams better than #AVFC and repeats there must be "perspective."
Unai Emery: "I told the players I am very proud of them. I'm very proud of our supporters. The loss has to come one day. The way we did it was fantastic. We can lose perspective and the perspective is that against Newcastle and how they played, it's not easy to win." #AVFC
