Mattyp_avfc Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Telegraph put an article saying Hoolahan had put in a transfer request, but now it's been removed. Wouldn't surprise me if he forces a move through... Pretty sure he'd want to join us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you google Wes Hoolahan, one of the top results is a Telegraph link from an hour ago..... when you click it it says Error 404 not found.

Nice spot. Could be that they just got it wrong, or are they not supposed to announce it yet? We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link the actual article has gone, but if you look in the address bar you can see the headline, I've no idea why they'd put it up then remove it.

sidcowans21 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I seem to remember quite a few people on here looking quite stupid when all the same quotes being banded around about Hoolahan were said about Robbie Keane and what a player he was. Let's just give the guy a chance if he does join and see what happens? If he turns out to be crap after a few games, then everyone was right. But give him a chance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link the actual article has gone, but if you look in the address bar you can see the headline, I've no idea why they'd put it up then remove it. Journalists are often given time embargos, like the other day when the whole Twitterverse knew about Kozak's broken leg but no journalists reported it until 8pm. Could be a similar case, maybe they aren't allowed to report it until a certain time - the article could be set to go up automatically and Google has picked it up beforehand somehow. I think there is something in this. Hmm. Edited January 7, 2014 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Think this will be done. I just hope we've got a longer team plan for this position in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJVillan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yep. Definitely something going on. https://twitter.com/MatKendrick/status/420633937023492096 Think this will be done. I just hope we've got a longer team plan for this position in the summer. I'd be really happy with it. Carruthers and Grealish both playing well in that position for their League 1 clubs, would like to see what they can learn from Hoolahan when they return to Villa.

The Fun Factory Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Buying a 31 going to be soon 32 yr old with less than 2 season experience in the top flight does not get me really excited. File under stop gap and underwhelming. The 2010's version of Mark Kinsella, apparently now a Villa legend when he plays that shitty 5 a side they have in the MEN Arena.
