Aston Villa supporters have been reacting to the reports that Mateu Alemany has offered to stay put at Barcelona.

‌

The U-turn came as a surprise on Wednesday afternoon, when reports from Spain emerged that Alemany "offered to continue" at Camp Nou instead of making the move to Villa Park.

‌

Alemany and Unai Emery were said to have been plotting the summer transfer window together, with a number of players from La Liga on their shopping list.

‌

Here is a look at what some supporters are saying on Twitter:

‌

@Trentvilla1 : This is really bad news and frankly a little embarrassing for us.

@Lchapman1304 : That was a fun summer transfer window while it lasted.

@onestar1982 : No paella on the menu at the Belfry?

‌

@rossnorm : Can't see our owners being happy with this decision. I'd expect them to move quickly and appoint someone of similar standing.

@BOOMBEEF : Clearly wasn't happy about something.... Maybe its because we aren't going to be having the summer we think.

@CjJones94 : On Alemany, you can’t miss what you never had.

‌

@Barnster31 : Wonder if Unai will attempt to get his mate from Sociedad again? Or will we go for Cordon?
