    I wonder if something has come on up the medical that we’re not happy with?

    His pass completion percentage must be awful, most of the passes he made forward tonight went straight to the opposition. No point being good in the air if you bring it down only to give the ball straight back. Also he turned his back to the ball on the first goal. Watching this experiment unfold in important games is painful. I can’t believe he is enjoying playing there either.

    He’s young, he will make a few mistakes. His confidence has probably taken a hit at the thought of 2 new wingers coming in on loan that are a lot more experienced than he is. If Bruce is going to reduce him to 20min sub appearances then a loan would probably be the better option for everyone concerned.

    I thought he was great first half when we were on the front foot but looked a bit naive second half when we had more defending to do. Having said that, I’m not having it that he was at fault for the second goal. Elmo went awol leaving him with 2 players running at him, he had absolutely no chance.

    5 in any match day squad + Januzay

    Nothing wrong with his attitude professionally, he trains really well and was captain at Forest. His problem is fitness related, he’s suffered with persistent niggly injuries since he’s been with us and never got a good run of games for us to see what he can do in this league. His back is an ongoing issue and has had trouble with one of his knees too. If he can stay healthy he’s a great option in the Championship off the bench. Sure he’s on a lot of money but a lot of people forget that the fee at the time was considered pretty low as he was in the last year of his contract at Forest.

    I think our new owners have already proved they are more shrewd than that

    He wouldn’t be in the last year of his contract as this non-promotion release clause is rumoured to be part of a new contract that he will sign to make him one of the clubs top earners.
  10. Fight Like Lions
    I expect the release clause to only be available should we not get promoted.

    Worse than Jedinak and Elphick then? In what sense? If the policy is younger players then it’s difficult to see us finding someone the right side of 30 to play CB. It’s a position that needs experience imo.

    Danny Batth didn’t make Wolves squad yesterday. I’ve not seen much of him but I know we’ve been linked to him before. Worth a try on loan?
  13. Fight Like Lions
    Premier league teams can’t, which is great for us as we’re in a great position to grab anybody decent that wants to stay in England.

    It’s been mentioned elsewhere on the forum but worth putting here I think. Can the idea of a preseason friendly with Hibs for next summer be suggested at any future meeting please? Thoroughly impressed with how friendly their supporters are and it’s quite rare nowadays to see such positive exchange between 2 fan bases. Both sets of fans seem keen from what I’ve seen. I know there are lots of factors to consider when putting together a preseason but this would be great!

    It’s time he was sold for a modest fee. He’s never going to reach the standard we need to play regularly, he’s not getting any younger either. Persitently loaning him out isn’t helping anyone.

    Lansbury isn’t anywhere near the starting 11 at this point and it wouldn’t surprise me if we sell BB before the end of the month either.

    If the owners say he’s not for sale, then he’s not for sale. I think most of us know better than to judge Jack’s mood/body language/apparent opinion/disappointment via the London media. I’d be very surprised if we don’t get a social media update from the man himself around 6pm fully emphasising his commitment to Aston Villa for this season.

    As if the last few weeks couldn’t get any more bizarre today we have the story of all stories with Bruce apparently chasing down Bryan on the M1 in Dr Tony’s clapped out Mondeo. You’ve got to love being a Villa fan! ?

    He seems really focused and keen to impress and develop his game. Neil Lennon is singing his praises even now, not often you see players leave on such good terms. All the best to him, I really want him to do succeed now having watched his interview.

    Fairly obvious what’s happened- we value him at a lot more than Spurs are willing to pay. Our new owners have had enough of Levy’s nonsense and pulled the rug. Fair play to them for not being messed around. Great sign of intent and hopefully will be good for Jack to know where he stands too.

    I don’t think he would sign a new deal as he’d probably want to see whether we have any chance of promotion first. If we get promoted he’d sign a new deal next summer, if not he’d take his pick of several clubs if his performances have warranted it. We’d obviously get less money next summer but possibility of a bidding war pushing the price back up. I think he’d only go in January if FFP is an issue for us and we need the money. (Hypothetical as you say as I expect he will go for £30m later today or tomorrow)

    Had never heard of him before but he seems to be highly regarded and on paper the type of player that meets the new criteria of ‘young and hungry’. Hope he proves to be a bargain and settles in early.
  25. Fight Like Lions
    ^This. Our new owners are not about to bend over to Levy after the media circus they’ve orchestrated for the last 3 weeks. He won’t be going for less than £30m now.
